Takumi Sushi House — Restaurant in Richmond Hill

This was my first time visiting this spot. We came around 6:30 pm on a Friday night. From a glance, it seems like there wasn't anyone else dining in but admittedly, there was a lot of in-and-out foot traffic from takeout orders and/or food delivery services. The restaurant itself looked very spacious (seating is very spaced) and relatively clean.

It took a second for us to be greeted and seated as the waitress was helping someone with a takeout order. We were asked to sit at the table for four by the window. The double doors prevented too much of a draft but again, there was a lot of foot traffic.

We ended up ordering a 38 piece set, tempura, and their Crazy Salmon Roll. Sushi pieces were quite big with thick pieces of fish. The salmon maki could've used a little spicy mayo to add some dimension in flavor. The Crazy Salmon Roll was true to its name and quite flavorful, especially because of the torched salmon. It was expensive at $17 but it seemed like we got our money's worth given the amount of fish and size of the rolls. The tempura was breaded nicely and not greasy, but some pieces, such as the zucchini were too thick for our liking.

My one complaint was some black stuff in the salmon of one of our nigiri. Not sure what it was but we didn't make a fuss about it.

There are ample free parking spots...

On Mother's Day I ordered 3 rolls, tempura, and sashimi for dinner. It was my first time here and they were backed up due to high demand and the service was longer than expected due to all these changes from C-19 but I told myself I would not judge the service on this day, there were only 2 people working and customers were standing looking at them putting pressure to get their stuff. These 2 people were working as fast as physically possible, non-stop and regardless of the pressure they had a great attitude.

Once at home, the surprise unveiled. The sushi was fresh, on point. The tempura was amazing and the sashimi, wow, I never had this portions of sashimi anywhere and it was great.

My only 2 cents would be not to change its quality, it was so good that changing it would be noticeable right away. Keep up the great sushi and attitude, better times will come.

I would recommend the crazy salmon roll, red dragon roll and if you like spicy, the kiss of fire was definitely the...

This restaurant use to be called Senbazuri. It use to be a Japanese restaurant that served good quality sushi, but then went downhill. First time back since they renamed it Takumi. We ordered their 48 piece roll for $38 + tax. It was just enough for myself, my wife , my 10yr old son and 11yr old daughter. The food is a bit above mediocre. In all honesty, I cannot complain considering the price. I usually order from another sushi restaurant down the street which has high quality sushi, but decided to give Takumi a try because I was feeling cheap. I would go back if I feel the need to save on the pocket book. I gave the restaurant a lower rating because when you pay you are forced to give a tip. I don’t agree with tipping if I’m doing takeout. I would be more than happy to tip good service if I am dining in.

UPDATE I apologize. I was made aware by Takumi sushi there is an option to skip the tip portion. I must have missed it. I have changed the rating...
