I’ve been wanting to try this place for the longest and it didn’t disappoint aside from the curry sauce. Ever since tampopo has closed down in the DFW area, ive been missing my good and cheaper bento boxes with tempura. This place gave the same vibes as tampopo and the food is just as amazing. I would like to preface that the bento box for 10.99 is just such a steal for the amount of food in there, it is so worth it. Now my only complaint is the curry sauce, it’s very salty and somewhat acidic on the tongue. I was too busy enjoying the other things that i didn't really mind it at the moment. But looking back, since the cutlet already had some good flavor and salt, the sauce should not be as salty as it was, i wasn't used to the curry sauce being saltier and acidic as opposed to the one i was more used to and expected to have the sweeter and more milder version of Japanese curry, like the blocks you can find at an asian store. Anyhow the food was really good and that tempura is just amazing!! I hope you guys take into consideration what I'm putting down with the curry sauce because it really is one of the dishes that I love about Japanese cuisine, otherwise food is amazing and I’d recommend the bento boxes for sure!
Excellent food! taste and presentation were great. Very nice and well treating business. Eat here every time I get the chance.
Awesome food. Cooked fresh and large portions. We had sushi , shrimp fried rice, tempura, miso , fried shrimp, beef fried rice . All very good. Quiet atmosphere. Friendly staff. Very clean. Highly recommend! 4 of us ate for around 60
we got here at 8:45 pm and they close at 9pm and still let us dine in which I thought was very sweet !! the food here is so delicious!! noodles are 10/10 sushi tastes so fresh. the lady working at the register is very sweet and gave awesome recommendations. definitely recommend this place this will be our new go to !
I went when they first opened and the food was so yummy. Went back recently and the food was still delicious. I got the salmon bento box and it was so filling, good price too! The service was great and the atmosphere was chill
Super cool place !! AUTHENTIC Japanese. They have an entire wall with a projector displayed on it. Very modern, we accidentally came in 2 mins before they closed and they were super friendly and told us to have a seat and they’d be happy to serve us. The service was IMPECCABLE!! Everything we ate even thought we came at closing time was piping hot freshly made to order! 10/10 would definitely recommend. Don’t be surprised if you see me in there when you go.
Tonight was our first night trying to Takara Japanese Restaurant. It is located on Troup highway in the Green Acres shopping center. My wife and I went for sushi rolls, and we chose R6 Boston Roll, R18 Walla Walla Roll, and R20 Sakura Roll. All three were excellent! Our favorite was the Walla Walla Roll. My second choice was this Sakura Roll. But the Boston Roll was a very close 3rd! The food, the atmosphere, and the service were just great. We will be back! (Apologize about the photos, but we started sampling before I remember to take pics!)
This was my highly anticipated 2nd visit to this absolute gem of a restaurant! I'll start at the end, because it was all too perfect when the operatic tones of the Revenge Aria floated into my ears as I took my final bites of the Lava Roll that is quite possibly my favorite roll in Tyler. Cinematic would be an understatement! Now back to the beginning: We were happily greeted by the same familiar smiling face that we remembered from our last visit. Almost immediately "I know you!". "Yes ma'am, I would suspect so." "Rants and Raves!" "That's me." Now, mind you, I would've thought that I was getting special treatment, had I not been treated the same way previously, before she knew who I was. This sweet woman goes above and beyond every time, for every customer! The restaurant is trendy, comfortable, and clean as a whistle! With this kind of dedication it's no wonder the food is beyond phenomenal! I kid you not, every single bite was next level incredible! Get over there and getcha some!!
