Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Tako offers a vibrant dining experience with "amazing food" and "exceptional service." The "DJ music sets a lively atmosphere," though it can be "quite loud" for conversation. The sushi, especially the "sueno roll," is a highlight, alongside creative cocktails. Ideal for a fun, energetic night out, but expect higher prices.

    First off Vito our waiter was literally the best waiter we’ve had in years at any restaurant. He went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable and did not rush us out on our date night. His recommendations were on point and the food was some of the best and most unique sushi we’ve had. The plantain and spicy tuna was out of this world. The shishito peppers were perfect in flavor and not overly spicy. Pantera was the perfect way to finish off the food. The drinks are pricier than the food so just keep that in mind. It would be nice to add some drink specials. However, they do throw in some extras like a shot and dessert. All in all well done and the ambiance and decor add to the experience!

    My husband and I had dinner here last night. It wasn’t too busy and there were several open tables when we arrived. We were seated right away but swaited 15 minutes before our server came over and we watched other guests get seated after us but served before us.

    Celebrated my wife's birthday and TAKO did not disappoint. Great Service, The Food was outstanding, the ambiance, music and vibe was awesome. This is a great place. It is a speakeasy fully decorated from the time you walk through the secret door, up the stairs, and into the perfect setting for fun. I highly recommend TAKO.

    This place completely exceeded my expectations! Trendy spots often focus on decor and ambiance, but this speakeasy goes beyond aesthetics with a unique and delicious menu featuring mouthwatering Mexican and Japanese fusion dishes. Their cocktails are not only bold and creative but also incredibly tasty. Service is great as top tier as well. Overall, this isn’t just a must-visit—it’s the kind of place you’ll want to come back to again and again!

    Instagram and edits curate an environment which is partially true. But noise level, space, price points, proportions, and service are absolutely lacking.
