Takano Japanese ramen sushi(Former Sushi Avenue)Now we delivery with DoorDash — Restaurant in Snellville

I’ve been to Japan many times and I can say this is the only restaurant I have found in Atlanta so far with accurate taste, smell and portion size to what you will find in Japan.

The prices are higher than standard so called “Japanese” restaurants. You get what you pay for and in this case you pay for a rare experience and taste which is typically only found in Japan itself.

The Gyoza is on par with the best Gyoza spots I’ve been to in Tokyo.

The sushi, Nigiri and all is extremely accurate and again on par to what you will find at the best restaurants in Japan. The only difference one may notice is the fish quality which is very difficult to replicate considering Japans superior fish market, and geographical location.

Takano has some interesting ramen, soba, and udon selections.

The ramen is moreso basic yet good, after all it’s not a dedicated ramen shop. (This is normal for any REAL Japanese restaurant)

The Udon however is surprisingly authentic and homemade tasting (extremely accurate taste and scent to the real deal in Japan).

This store also has Cashu Bun and Ginger Salad which are very delicious in case you were ...

First time trying Takano for dinner and it was pretty good. The service was fast and efficient even though there was just one server for the entire restaurant. It was also pretty busy for a Wednesday night.

Lets get into the food… For appetizers we ordered the shrimp tempura which was very light and crispy. We also ordered the gyoza which was pretty typical to other places we have tried, but what set them apart was how appetizing they looked. Taste was pretty standard.

We also ordered 2 rolls, the land and sea roll (shrimp, asparagus, and wagyu) this roll was really tasty. The spider roll was good as well but pretty much what you would expect from a spider roll.

Lastly we shared the chicken teriyaki and tempura combo bento. This is where I was a bit thrown off because the chicken was stir fried with onions and peppers. I wasn’t expecting that, but it had a good flavor. It came with miso soup and a salad with ginger dressing.

Overall it was a good experience and...

Great Service and friendly and clean. Not sure why the name changed, but the food definitely did. I get the same thing at every sushi place including the old sushi avenue. But the quality is different. I added some other sushi place; same item to give reference; Other places were cheaper/equal in price but gave better cuts and impressive quality. You don't have to be in midtown or ATL to get good sushi, but plz don't give me your leftovers at the prices you are charging. I will be back when you return to quality cuts and better cuts of raw food bc unequal .25cm cuts IS for sushi rolls, Not an ideal cut for chirashi don. I did wait for it for a good 42min, not worth the wait. I paid for it, but I will wait for the new place to get...
