Takosushi

Having spent significant time in Hawaii, I’ve had some good sushi. This was the worst sushi experience ever. horrible service and it took over an hour to get our food. Unfriendly staff and my rainbow roll was skimpy. The sexy salad was just a bunch of salty scraps. Anyone who says this is real, fresh sushi is out of their mind. This place is so overrated.

Having lived in Southern California and also most recently in the heart of Texas, I was excited to visit this place. I have never seen a restaurant with a Tex-​mex & Sushi menu. My daughter was home from college and although we came for sushi, she misses Texas and was drawn to the tacos on the menu. I was excited to see a Bento Box on the menu.
When the food came out it was plentiful but where is the bento box? My sushi and sashimi came out on a round plate. No variation or sides, just some slaw that seemed more like decoration although the pieces of cucumber were tasty. Not sure they knew or understood the concept of a bento box but I didn’t complain. Maybe they should google it.
I also picked out a roll that the waitress recommended and was pricier than others. Ughhhh it was drowned in vinegar. So gross, I couldn’t swallow it. Fortunately the waitress offered to bring me something to replace it. She was really nice.
Meanwhile my daughter took two bites of her tacos and wouldn’t eat it, and then I tried my sashimi…
It looked decent but it was warm and the white fish was not cut right because I couldn’t chew through it. I had to discreetly spit it out.
The waitress brought me a spicy tuna roll. Again while plentiful and good intentioned, it was blah. I’m so disappointed in the food and presentation. We tipped the waitress well for her efforts.
I don’t like writing so negatively, I even waited a while, in case I was being too harsh. I have never had such an awful experience with sushi and sashimi, and I normally devour it. The table next to us loved their food, they got tempura and California rolls.

We came here after a horrible dining experience elsewhere in town. It was packed yet we were seated quickly and visited by an attentive waitress. We shared an order of veggie egg rolls that were hands down the best I’ve ever had! I ordered the Tako Burger, which was fat, juicy, cooked to perfection (medium-​rare) and had just the right amount of spiciness. My wife got their version of Firecracker shrimp — 9 giant and succulent shrimp in a spicy sauce with a large half ball of white rice — also delicious. Our waitress came by a few times and checked on us and refilled our glasses. A great dinner overall and well priced too!

Got our drink order then did not see a waitress For 20 minutes. We left. Too bad because the menu looked good.
We’re trying it again, though.
Ok second time worked and it was good. We’ll definitely be back.

The best place. Food is always amazing.
I love the owners. She such a sweet lady.
Food is fresh and always great

I learned to love Takosushi in Evans, GA and now, living in Columbia, the love continues.
Small place, slightly off the beaten path near the Vista, across from the Statehouse, it offers amazing rolls, superb sushi and great service.
Winner winner sushi dinner!

Unforgettable Roll for me and Crazy Susan for Alli. The wine is good and so are the tempura asparagus. They serve sushi and Mexican and both are great. Place is packed and food is awesome.

Another Saturday lunch on girls day out was exceptional !!! This is our go to place. The sushi is out of this world good. Best ginger salad ever as well !!!

One of the only places I’ve found in Columbia that serve Ahi Poke. I went in for a quick dinner ordered a bowl of miso soup which there was nothing special about, but the Poke… was really great. They got some fresh yellow tail tuna in as I sat down and they asked if I would like that for my Poke which I thought was really cool to offer me the freshest fish. The marinade was a perfect balance and didn’t over power the fish. I surprisingly ate all of the small side beet salad which was surprisingly really good. It came with a scoop of steamed white rice which was just the right amount for the meal. I will regularly come in for some Poke from here on out.

Amazing restaurant! Great food! My girlfriend loves sushi and I love Mexican so this is win win for us. The portions are worth the prices, the service was really good as well.

This place as answered my dreams sushi and mexican infused my two favorite foods to eat yes totally what I’m talking about my place to eat when I’m in town

I really like this place. It’s been through some ups and downs, but overall the food is good, and I’ve always had great service. Parking is okay, I recommend grabbing a metered spot after 5. The asparagus is awesome, and the fish tacos are great too. It’s a bit pricey, but at happy hour it’s insanely cheap.

This is a great restaurant. I’m not the biggest Sushi fan around, but I still love this restaurant and I can definitely find items to order.
The service is always excellent. I love the Miso Soup and the Cucumber salad. Both of those items are a «must have» when I come here. I also LOVE the pot stickers! They’re always good. I also get the Ebi. I’m a big fan of shrimp.
Great atmosphere. Great food. Great drinks. Great Prices. And Great Service. I definitely recommend this place!

Went here for the first time since the end of 2014. My first time I got the fish tacos they were spectacular, instantly fell in love.
I came this time and got oysters (one for $ 2) and they were the best part of the meal, in all honesty. We got the firecracker roll and it was good for the price but wasn’t anything I’d particularly return for. And the fish tacos this time gets a thumbs downs. It was really bland and I didn’t get that zingy taste as I usually do.
We ordered a Bloody Mary and I don’t know if it was the mix they used or something but we had them take it back. Too spicy (and I like spicy so that’s telling you something)
I probably will only go back if I plan on just ordering sushi and oysters. But those tacos are a no go.

Fun experience today!
I’d been holding back on this review bcuz I wanted to give them an «official» chance.
The concept/​idea is kinda cool/​weird — the menu looks awesome… but our first experience via 256togo… Ugh!!!
I don’t remember what we ordered (there were 3 of us and we all hated it)!!! Butttttt, that was over a year ago and all these tempura asparagus pics that keep popping up called me in!)
We dined in around 4:45/5… waited to beat the crowds and not be elbow to elbow with other patrons.
We were overwhelmed by the menu… so many options, so little stomach.
We opted to split the green chili fries (looked like vomit or dog food… but we didn’t let that deter us!), and tempura asparagus to start (both were good).
We split the biggest loser and firecracker shrimp. The biggest loser was okay… kinda had a raw flour taste (too much going on and maybe wasn’t «cooked» long enough), the firecracker shrimp were delicious!!!
Service was excellent and we were out before the crowd!
We plan to return very soon!

Love this concept. The best of two worlds… Latin & Asian cuisine (not fusion — just 2 different menus).
The happy hour specials are amazing! 4 – 6:30 on weekdays.
$ 2 tacos, $ 5 nachos, $ 3 tempura asparagus, $ 5 junior sashimi plate & lots of drink specials.
My favorite things to order are:
Tempura asparagus (one of the best apps in town)
Crazy caprese salad (a perfect summer lunch)
Chorizo nachos or chicken & chorizo tacos
Queso (with beans) dip
And most of their rolls are fantastic
It’s a small place, so it can be hard to get in but it’s totally worth the wait, just get a drink at the bar (they do take reservations for parties of 5 or more).

Ok finally ate here, tried a few times but they had standing room only and I do not wait for food.
I ate here during lunch when most roads were closed for a run. I started with the largest jalapeño poppers known to man. They were fantastic… not nuclear but filling and the wasabi sauce was perfect. They were covered in a homemade like crust and filled with cheese.
Then I made room for scallop tacos. They were fried (crispy on outside juicy inside) and all the ingredients were fresh (guacamole, tomato, lettuce). The beans were plain, and the salsa was meh but it was a filling lunch for sure!
The waiter was all over it, refilled my drink, made great recommendations and got me a to go cup for my tea.

Have been coming here for some time now. The décor is bold with red walls and southwest art displayed around the restaurant. I come here primarily for the sushi. The sashimi is of a thicker cut and not sliced thin as can be found in many local Sushi restaurants. The Sushi is always fresh and the rolls are great. I have been working my way through the list of rolls (2 pages) and so far the Tomahawk Roll is my favorite.
If you are a sushi fan, your best option is to order the Bento Box. You get a Miso Soup, Cucumber Salad, Chef’s choice of both Sashimi and Sushi with a roll of your choice. You need an appetite to finish it off; especially if you order one of their appetizers… our favorite is the Tempura Asparagus.
My Bride is not a huge Sushi fan but she does enjoy the Pork Potstickers and Veggie Eggrolls.
Parking is a bit of a challenge. There is lot behind the restaurant but it fills up quick. Street parking is available. If you haven’t been yet, it is worth the trip downtown.

I’ve had my one and only experience at Takosushi. Background — I have spent significant time in Atlanta and New York, and know a good sushi from a bad one.
After waiting 45 minutes after my reservation, my party of 3 was seated. Note that there is really no place to wait here because the restaurant is so tiny, so you kind of just stand around and look at everyone trying to eat their dinner.
Sushi was terrible. I literally could not finish my sushi because I was starting to get that gut feeling that I would get sick if I continued to eat this food.
Location is great, right across from the Statehouse. Parking is free if you can find a spot in their parking lot with maybe 15 spaces.
The experience was rushed and cramped, especially for the price. There is a lot of room for improvement.

Meh. Don’t let the unique name fool you, the food is chain restaurant quality. The southwest part of the menu has me thinking «frozen from sysco» and the sushi is pretty good at best.
Happy hour has really good specials which makes it worth the trip for me once in a while — good food and drink deals!
