Tucson Food Review #11– Takamatsu 🍣🔥

If you’re craving both Japanese and Korean food — or can’t decide between sushi and BBQ — Takamatsu is the perfect spot! We chose this place because some of us wanted sushi 🍣, while others were in the mood for Korean barbecue 🍖, and it totally delivered. The menu is huge: Sushi & sashimi 🍱 Japanese dishes (ramen, tempura, donburi) 🍜 Korean classics (BBQ, stews, bibimbap) 🥘 And yes — full Korean BBQ with table grills! 🔥 We were seated in the BBQ section where each table has its own grill. You can also order sushi and other dishes while grilling your meat — perfect for groups with mixed cravings! 🥗 The complimentary salad was fresh and tangy — a nice start to the meal. 🦑 The grilled whole squid was a showstopper — came out full-sized and delicious! 🧀 We also loved the tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes) — you can even add noodles to it. Highly recommend! 💰 Prices are reasonable, and portions are generous. A few notes: The restaurant can get smoky — that’s BBQ life! 💨 Choose marinated meats for more flavor. Some unmarinated cuts were bland and too thick. Some meat pieces were quite large and a bit tough — ask for scissors if needed ✂️. Overall, it’s one of the few places in Tucson where you can enjoy both Japanese and Korean cuisines under one roof. Great for groups, dates, or when you just can’t choose! 📍 Address: 5532 E Speedway Blvd, Tucson, AZ 85712 #TakamatsuTucson #JapaneseFood #KoreanBBQ #SushiAndGrill #TucsonEats #FoodReview #GroupDining #AZFoodies 🥩🍱
