I recently had the pleasure of dining at Takumi, and I must say, it was an extraordinary culinary experience that left me with a lasting impression. From the moment I stepped into the restaurant, I was greeted with warm smiles and a vibrant ambiance that set the stage for an unforgettable evening.

The first thing that caught my attention was the inviting atmosphere. The restaurant exuded an authentic Japanese charm, with traditional decor, elegant lighting, and a comfortable seating arrangement.

I have recommended this place so many times, but after the most unprofessional call I got from the manager I will no longer recommend this restaurant or go here.

I have a gluten allergy, and last time I was in the restaurant our waitress was very sweet and extremely accommodating and told me how to order and said my order could be gluten free. Tonight I order the same sushi rolls, noting I need soy paper since that is what I was told to ask for, and adding in the notes that I have a gluten allergy.

When we got home, the sushi did not have soy paper (which was an up charge) and had crunch and clearly gluten allergens in it. We couldn’t go back for them to fix it, but after spending that much money we asked for a refund since it will be thrown out. They said they would not a problem.

10 minutes later I get a call from the manager telling me how one of the rolls couldn’t be gluten free and telling me that I ordered things I couldn’t eat and they would allow this refund this time, but that I had messed up. I told him I ordered the same thing and the waitress I had took care of me and said it could be made gluten free. He laughed and said “how?” To which I responded “I don’t know, I don’t work in your kitchen.” He proceeded to say that they would refund this one time and that it was my fault for ordering what I ordered. Before hanging up I said “yeah, I guess when I put I needed soy paper and wrote I had a gluten free allergy twice, I assumed you would call me if there was an issue or put what I requested and paid extra for down.”

I was bummed out that I didn’t get the sushi I wanted tonight, but after we called and requested a refund for that portion I was happy they made that fix. However, a manager calling me to chastise me was… an interesting choice. If there was an issue with my order, they should’ve called the number to tell me to order something else. Further, I paid extra for something they didn’t have. I shouldn’t be blamed or penalized for a mistake that made my food inedible for me, especially when there were ample notes.

Really disappointed.

Editing to add, the manager kept reiterating that on certain rolls crunch could be taken off, however there is crunch all over the roll despite being notes as gluten free. The kitchen messed up both rolls, it happens. However, I am once again emphasizing that calling a customer after an issue has been resolved (we were told both rolls were being refunded since they were done without soy paper and one had crunch all over it) is extremely...

10/10 Dining Experience – A Perfect Birthday Celebration!

From the moment we walked in, this restaurant delivered a 10 out of 10 experience. The ambiance was vibrant and welcoming, and the host staff was incredibly helpful and prompt. As soon as our entire party arrived, we were seated right away. The space was clean, well-organized, and clearly well-maintained.

We came here to celebrate my mom’s birthday and were seated at the Hibachi grill with another lovely family who also had a birthday to celebrate. It made for a fun and lively atmosphere—almost like a shared celebration!

Our Hibachi chef was not only skilled but also very friendly and entertaining. The food was reasonably priced and absolutely delicious. We started with edamame, and then I had the filet mignon and shrimp with fried rice. The meal also came with soup and salad. The seasoning on both the steak and shrimp was phenomenal—easily a 10/10. Everything was cooked perfectly and tasted incredibly fresh.

My mom ordered the Chilean sea bass and filet mignon, also with fried rice, salad, and soup. She was blown away by the sea bass—it was tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection.

One of the most unique and fun parts of the night was the robot servers! They delivered our appetizers, drinks, and even sang “Happy Birthday” while bringing out the cake. It was such a cool and futuristic touch, especially handy when the staff is busy.

What really stood out to me was the level of cleanliness. After each party, a dedicated crew came through to remove all the chairs, sweep, mop, scrub the grills, and sanitize the area thoroughly. It was spotless, and I truly appreciated the attention to detail.

Overall, this was an unforgettable experience—fun, delicious, clean, and perfect for special occasions. We’ll definitely be coming back, and I can’t recommend it enough for anyone looking to celebrate a birthday or just enjoy a fantastic meal...
