Just passed by and ordered a super deluxe bento box…. For $20 you get a rice, soup/soda, seaweed salad, Cali roll, and two entree choices. I thought … Not bad! I chose beef Thai red curry, husband chose general tsos chicken… Welp the portion is really good for 1 person sadly.
The food was good, general tso cooked perfectly. Curry was great as well. My only sadness was the small portion… Rice was only the small plastic container. Even for one person, that amount does not suffice.
This restaurant looks great, dimly lit with great decorations. By the window, you will see domo, who blends into the wooden seat. I'd definitely like to eat in next time. Not bad, can't wait!
Wow. What a nice surprise. Randomly decided to try this place out bc I was in the area. I can't say enough nice things about this place.
Bathrooms, dining area and reception are all spotless and nicely decorated. The fish is FRESH. I don't know where they go salmon this fresh. I'm very impressed.
Best time to test out new sushi places is for lunch. The prices are always super low and the place is usually pretty empty.
Great service and great fresh sushi, loved their red dragon roll, spider roll, sushi pizza, and volcano roll…will definitely be frequenting this sushi spot again.
The jury is out but so far service is questionable. No avocado no Bueno. Why it's not possible to make a roll without avocado in it and call it a day, I have no idea. I had to reorder and then it took longer than expected for simpler rolls. The crowd was overly rambunctious and it was just three middle-aged women getting 'turnt' on a Thursday. No attempts by the staff to quiet them down. It's decent, but I'll take my time and money elsewhere.
This is a decent sushi spot. I came here because another one that I frequent closes at 3p.
I was the only patron in the restaurant for the entire hour I was there, with the exception of some staff with their family eating and having a good time in the back area.
The service was ok, not exceptional.
I ordered the Philadelphia roll, spicy crunchy tuna and spider roll, which came with soup or salad. I did like the Philadelphia roll because it was made with a smoked salmon that had a very salty taste. My spicy tuna came without the crunch and tasted ok. However, the spider roll saved the day! I must say that this was the best spider roll I've ever had in my life!!! For that alone, I'll be back.
I come here after my visits by the Throggs Neck Bridge.
The decor is very warm . The place is cery dimly lit and can hold about 30 people. I love how intimate it is. They have a little VIP or family section in the back behind some curtains. Love it.
The bento box comes with a choice of anything you would like from the menu. I got the string beans and garlic with a side of tofu, rice, shumai, and california rolls! All of that for just under $10.Its amazing.
This is will always be my go to spot whenever I am in the area .
Takara is a pretty good place to eat.
I work nearby so my coworkers recommended this sushi place and of course I Yelped it. My fellow Yelpers gave it a great rating so I said why not.
I was greeted in such a nice way and I was in love with the calm ambience. It's a beautiful place to have a date. They don't only sell sushi. They have soup, noodles, salad, seafood etc
The prices are very inexpensive. One avocado roll (6 pieces) runs you 4 dollars. And the quality is so sharp.
The lady that took my order was soooo nice. I will return definitely!
Came here with friends to celebrate the end of the semester! It's a sushi restaurant located in the middle of a very quiet neighborhood. The place is big but there weren't that many diners since we went at an off time but I did notice that it got a little busier as we left. Tables and utensils were clean and neatly arranged and service was excellent and very courteous.
Super deluxe bento box special- $20 for your choice of 2 small entrees, 6 pieces of California roll, and miso soup or salad, which I thought was a pretty reasonable deal. I opted for the chicken teriyaki and beef pad thai for my two entrees. The chicken was very delicious and not too dry/rough but the teriyaki sauce was a little lacking in flavor. The pad thai didn't taste authentic but it was still edible.
Stampede roll- We got this special roll to share and we all loved it! It's a very complex roll with many layers! On the bottom is a salmon avocado roll and on top is spicy tuna with seaweed salad and salmon eggs. All of these ingredients blended together harmoniously to form a mouth-watering roll that had hints of sweet, spicy, and savory!
All sushi places are pretty much the same. What makes Takara a little bit better than the rest:
1) Excellent service and fancy/spacious decor
2) Stampede special roll was unique and delicious
3) $20 Super deluxe bento box special is a pretty good deal, although the entrees were, at most, average tasting.
This is my first time in this neighborhood so I don't know what other restaurants there are around here but Takara is definitely a solid option for sushi/Asian cuisine in Whitestone!
