Takosushi comes on strong with inventive but down-to-earth flavors that consistently wow locals and visitors alike. Rouse your senses with the eclectic vibe and ingredient-driven cuisine rooted in southwestern and Asian traditions. The beauty of this food is in its utter simplicity, yet it seductively teases the tongue and leaves you wanting to try so much more.
I Had a great experience here! I arrived shortly after 2:30p it’s was perfect. Our server Ciara was extremely pleasant. She was timely, accommodating and very friendly. We had the popsticks (so good), and the fried asparagus (also good). I will def. Be back! Love it!

We sat at the bar and had to have the seats and bar wiped off. It took a while for the bartender to acknowledge us which I had to ask a question first after that she was very friendly. It took a long time for our food and when we got it the food was warm not hot. It wasn’t that busy. We ordered the shrimp stir fry and the chicken stir fry. There were more vegetables than anything. I was not impressed.

The strange split setup could be considered charming at best and just confusing at worst. Not really a big deal but worth mentioning.
The food was a little below average for above average prices. The sushi didn't taste fresh. Despite the taste, there was clearly effort put into the creation.
When we got there, we were pleasantly greeted by very friendly staff. Our server did a fine job with taking our order and getting our food to us.
The restaurant was very dirty. The tables were dirty, there was food on the floor beside where we were seated. There was a spilled drink under my seat. I looked into the kitchen when passing by and it wasn't horrible but also not really the level of clean I'd expect.
I just want to mention how friendly the staff are one more time. If it weren't for them, it would be a 2 star rating.

I originally gave this place a 5 star review because I really loved ordering their Asian Stirfry, even though I disliked the 3 other dishes I tried, I loved this one so much it was worth it. I used to order the stirfry 1-2 times per week on my lunch break for $18. Since they did their menu change, they now charge $24 for the same dish and have cut it in HALF. I wish I had a photo of how it used to be served because I’ve never seen such a joke of a meal in my life. I am paying an additional $5 for my meal to be cut by 40%-50%. I will not be ordering from here again, $24 for this amount of food is highway robbery.

I have been a server for many years and it hurts me to leave such a negative review. But I’m hoping management views these and can make some much needed staff changes. This was the worst service I have ever experienced in my life. Our server was a young blonde headed guy, he never ONCE asked us about anything, we had to flag him down nonstop. He was taking shots at the bar, chatting with other staff and just oblivious. He never put in my food, and my children’s food so everything came out separately. I would ask him for sauce or a refill and he would just completely forget and go back to talking or standing around. We will never be back:

This place has a strange layout, split with a hiding hostess. Had a good waitress and the sushi chef was anything but authentic and prepared as such. AirPods and not engaged. Below average rolls. The Mexican food looked good from what I saw. The location in Grenville was much better. ☹️

We have tried Tako Sushi twice. Both times we waited over an hour for our food, and no we didn't order Sushi. The second time we visited, after an hour and ten minutes our food arrived...cold. So, clearly it was ready sooner than it was brought out to us. It does get quite busy, but both times we were there about 11:00 am, only two tables were occupied.

We went for the first time after recommendations our appetizer tempura asparagus was very good but arrived 32 minutes after we ordered it it and 7 minutes after our sushi arrived. Never got the extra ginger we asked for. We each ordered 3 glasses of the same wine. The server didn’t suggest we order a bottle and when we asked about getting the bottle price were told absolutely not because we didn’t ask for it to begin with. We won’t be back They lost our business over a difference of $27 on a $150 dinner.

No option for zero stars, but should be. Was looking forward to an alternative from Barrio across the street. Unfortunately our Saturday afternoon visit was terrible. Awful/terrible things include:
- 20 mins before getting a server
- Another hour to get entrees
- Bunch of staff wandering around while our waitress was trying to handle multiple tables
- Food - all of it was lukewarm. No flavor to burger, undercooked fries, undercooked rice, sushi rolls poorly put together, something you'd expect at a gas station or grocery store. Extremely expensive for what you get.
We don't recommend and will not go again.

The restaurant itself was a modern slightly upscale dining. The place is too new to have troublesome wobbly tables. Least little movement and there goes your flatware and drink. The service was terrible. We ordered a drink prior to ordering an appetizer. Finished the appetizer with half of our drink. I basically chocked down my last four pieces of sushi. I flagged down my server twice with no response. She never came by and checked in on us after bringing our food out. The Gentleman at the table behind us got frustrated and went to the bar and got his own drink. The sushi isn't worth the price. I guess this is going to be just a hangout spot for drinks for in Lexington.

I am praying it stays in business. We have been there on a Friday night twice, first time we were turned away at 8:55 because they stop seating at 9 and close at 10 on Fridays. Only a couple other customers were there. This past Friday we went earlier 730 or 8ish and was seated immediately. There was only 2 other tables in there. They don't seem to be busy like the other downtown locations. Possibly because they close so early.

2nd visit to this new location in the arcade mall and, sadly, it’s likely our last. the 1st time we sat at the bar, and mari provided excellent service— it was a saturday night and extremely busy. it took a long time to get our food, but she was attentive and it was a pleasant experience overall. this last visit was… the complete opposite. our server, chloe, went missing and we wanted to order one last drink before they started prepping to close. for context, this was before 8pm on a week night. there were 3 tables, including us
(meaning, they weren’t busy). we stop aariona as there was no one at the bar or in our section to ask. very condescendingly she replies, “i’m not your server” with a look of contempt. she was clearly implying that we had her confused with the other server, and wanted us to feel uncomfortable for it. we have worked in the food service industry for a long time, and her facial expression and tone said it all. she could’ve said, “ok, i’ll let your server/the bartender know”. everyone in this industry has experienced tables that aren’t theirs asking for refills. for a $100 meal, excluding tip, this was a new level of bad.

We gave this place two tries but won't be back. Staff is nice and it is clean. I ordered a tempura shrimp roll. It was small and cold. Usually a tempura roll is freshly cooked and warm. It had obviously been made yesterday and sat in the fridge all night. It was expensive so not worth the high price. My husband's roll was also small and was just okay.

As we sat there my stomach began hurting and I felt sick. I asked to speak to the manager- I explained what I ordered off their Gluten Free menu and asked if their chips are made in house- yes! Are they made in the same fryer other items are fried in - Yes!
The chips are cross contaminated and not GF. There was no understanding of how items become cross contaminated.

Waitress barely attended to us. Food was cold and lacking in flavor. Wait time for food was ridiculous considering the quality we got. My boyfriend and I were sat and after our orders were taken out waitress did not check on us (sat for 40-50 minutes- no “Hey how are we doing” nor any updates on our food). We watched our food die in the window for at least 5-7 minutes. I ordered the steak takos and my boyfriend ordered the shrimp tempura burrito. My steak was cold and what flavor it did have was overwhelmed by the strong burnt flavor the meat. Burrito had no flavor to speak of. Atmosphere was nice but that was really the only thing going for it. Maybe it was an off day or something but I wouldn’t recommend this place.

We came to Takosushi with optimistic expectations due to the one in Greenville. We were sat at the bar, where our bartender was not friendly. We were there two hours before our sushi rolls came out, which we were only served after we asked for the bill (we were going to leave and eat somewhere else after we paid). I work in the service industry (bartender and server) and have never been somewhere that I felt deserved the time and energy of a negative review. Whoever is the manager there seemed to have left their employees understaffed, and has created a culture where excellency is far from the expectation. Our drinks took an extremely long amount of time, as did our appetizers, one of which sat on line (which was in view for us) and then never arrived. Our bartender brought us the missing appetizer at the end of our entree after we told her we did not even want it. It was left untouched; we had seen it sitting out for almost an hour before the bartender carried it five feet to our stools. The food was fine—it took an extremely long time to come out and then what we received was not even quality. The bartender was rude and unfriendly; she seemed to avoid us even when we called her attention. She seemed overworked and we were often sitting at an empty bar—wondering whether there even was still a bartender on shift, as the bar was left completely unattended for many minutes at a time. There were only two people working at the sushi roll station and, as mentioned, they took two hours to produce four rolls. I was so excited to come here and this is the first time in my life I’ve ever decided never to come back somewhere because the service was that bad. I work in the service industry and this leads me to be very lenient, understanding when things are messed up. This was a different situation. The bartender, while definitely busy (as is a part of the job), was rude, did not run our food, and had unfriendly service despite the fact it was taking over two hours to receive our meals. She also forgot one of our appetizers and one of our entrees didn’t arrive until everyone was finished eating. We watched our appetizer sit on the line for almost an hour—five feet away from us and the bartender. I am so sad because I will never return here. Hopefully y’all can learn to be better.

Can't rate the food cuz it never came after an hour of waiting. If the city wasn't so busy, I would have gone somewhere else. Should have picked up a sandwich at the grocery store. At least I got my water refilled after the server walked by me six times.

Average quality sushi. Service was descent. I’m giving 2 stars because they actually charged me $1 more for my sushi than what’s actually on the menu. I made the waiter aware and he I formed the manager of duty. I over heard done excuse as to why before she told him that she’d remove the charges and bill me based on the menus. I told them that I didn’t want my card charged twice just to get $2 back, but rather they charge customers the prices on the menu.

Takosushi has an inviting ambiance, but the sushi experience left much to be desired. The rolls lacked the vibrant flavors one expects from quality sushi, and the rice had an overpowering starchy taste, suggesting it wasn't washed properly (if at all). Hoping they can improve on these aspects in the future.

Edit: ordered delivery through Postmates and my order was perfect, fast, and delicious.
Takosushi is a modern fusion of Mexican and Asian cuisine. Therefore, you can get a sushi roll and a burrito in one sitting! My favorite is the Firecracker Shrimp (served with white rice and an Asian salad), but I also love the Crazy Susan Roll! The only downside to Takosushi is narrowing down what to order - there are so many delicious dishes to choose from. All of the appetizers are incredible too - especially the pot stickers and tempura asparagus! However, this is another one of those restaurants that you need to arrive early if visiting during lunch M-F. Anytime after 11:45, there will be a wait for your table and food.

Service and food was very slow. Although our waitress was friendly, we didn’t receive any napkins and she seemed to be in a hurry and we felt extremely rushed. We’re Asian and were sat far from the restaurant while the people after us were sat inside..it felt discriminatory and made us uncomfortable. I never write bad reviews but this restaurant made me feel the need to say something.

I'll start by saying I don't give 5 stars often. I wanted to give 5, but couldn't pull the trigger. Services was good, it was slow when we arrived. We started with chips and guacamole that were just okay. Guacamole was pretty bland, no salt. Chips had very little to no salt though they were hot and fresh. I ordered the Tako Burger and was very surprised at how good it was! All the spices and sauces worked great together. It had the right amount of heat to match the flavor. The beef patty had a really good flavor to it. The fries were really good. Seasoned heavily which I personally like, but may turn some off. The wife got a Firecracker roll which was okay. This could be my poor memory, but I feel like that roll at the old location was fried. Over all the food was good and we'll return if we're in the area.

Wow! Excellent menu. I chose the Ahi Tuna Poke from the East which was so fresh and tasty. I decided to get the Tako Burger(short rib, brisket & chuck) from the West, but chose the wrap instead of the bun. Great decision, it came out like a fat burrito covered in cheese w/ranch beans on the side. French fries too. Excellent, fresh ingredients. Next I plan to stay and eat the fresh sushi. Oh yeah, the Itamae served me some fresh ahi tuna and crab as I waited for my “to go” order! Damn that tuna was gooooood

Updated: Still great place for food and relaxation.
Great food a relaxed atmosphere, and friendly service. My wife and I have eaten here a couple times now and had a great experience each time. If you want unique tacos, try them on Tuesdays for their Taco Tuesday prices. Wonderful mix of flavors!

In a sushi restaurant where it wasn't busy at all. Why did it take nearly 30 min to get our food. It was basic sushi roll. Should've stayed closed

It's a little over priced, the acoustics where we were sat was terrible to say the least there was such an echo that you couldn't hardly hear people at your own table. That being said, the food and the service was excellent!!!

My server Aari, was one of the best servers and I make sure to asked for her each time I eat there. Her attitude and knowledge towards the restaurant as a whole is astonishing and remarkable.

Server Mari was rude and disrespectful. I asked for a to go plate for my leftovers and was actually denied. Someone needs to either retrain her or hire someone else because that was the worst service I’ve ever gotten here. Very unprofessional and hostile

I’ve loved tako sushi since they’ve been on assembly street. Nora was an excellent server! All time favorite dishes are the unforgettable roll, southwest tuna tartare, Susan roll, and the fish tako! If you’re looking for good sushi and southwest cuisine this is the spot.

I absolutely love Takosushi, and even with their move to a new location, it's just as good! The combination of Mexican and Japanese flavors is truly one-of-a-kind, and the menu offers something for every taste preference. The presentation is always visually stunning, and the staff is so friendly and welcoming that I always feel right at home. I highly recommend Takosushi to anyone looking for a unique and unforgettable dining experience that will leave you wanting more.

Maree is a fabulous source of information regarding the menu. She is very helpful with a delightful spirit. The Susan sushi was so very yummy. We asked Maree about the white stuff on the plate. She took the time to tell us how to eat it and to notice how it changes the taste profile. In addition, she directed us on how not to eat the Wasabi. The music was mega loud, but I am 50. I can't take too much.

Friends talked this place up. I wasn't really impressed. It was like walking into a deli sandwich shop. The food wasn't bad but definitely have had better. The giant shock was the $160 bill! HOLY SMOKES! It's definitely NOT worth the price. Watch it, The menu shows cheaper prices than what you'll be charged.

The excitement is mounting for your arrival in Lexington. Made the trip to see what it will be all about. Work the kinks out before you arrive…PLEASE! Service was slow and showed no personality or engagement, wait time for drinks and food was sub par for an empty restaurant on a Tuesday night. Downtown Sodacity is booming. You won’t last if you don’t step up your game.

It is a fusion of Mexican (Yes, Takos!) and Sushi. The place has a lot of character and charm. Their drink menu is large and customizable. Live music and lively atmosphere outside their door. Comfortable and affordable. There is plenty of on street parking near Main St.

Food quality was good. Server was kind and apologetic about the wait. However, it took an hour plus to get four rolls of sushi delivered. Friends had already gotten their Mexican dishes and finished them by the time our plates hit the table. It was not the best dinner out to have to eat by oneself after watching friends eat twenty minutes before you.

It was an amazing place, very modern music which I guess it fits sense that area is where a lot of collage students are so mhmm, it was lovely. I enjoyed the service, our waiter come at the right times and the food was super good. I have never tasted a better salad💕🥗

I used to love Tako Sushi and this is my first time getting it from the new location since they closed on Assembly Street. I got it delivered and the potstickers were really good but the sushi was awful. I could only eat a few pieces. Super bland and almost tough, the texture was off somehow.

Our 1st time going last night. We had pot stickers, asparagus, taquitos as appetizers. We then ordered the Steak Tacos. WOW!!!! They completely knocked it out of the Park. The food was AMAZING, the service was top notch. Dustin, the bartender, was a jewel. This place is NOT just sushi, you gotta go!!!! It will quickly become one of your favorites.

Wow. Worst sushi I've had in a long time. You can legitimately get much better tasting fish (for less!) at Publix. The rolls are pretty expensive for such bad quality. I got a rainbow roll that wasn't fully cut, and the fish laid on top didn't cover the rice. I mean...a whole sushi piece section of rice is just hanging off the end of this roll. AVOID THE IKURA. It was rotten!! If they aren't able to sell ikura before it goes bad, maybe it shouldn't be a menu item, and especially not at $6 for 2 nigiri. The mackerel also isn't cured well, it has a rubbery texture. The salmon nigiri was the best thing I got, which is sad, because it had no flavor. I will literally get Joy of Tokyo sushi before I ever eat fish from here again. Hopefully, the tacos are better

Very disappointed and would not recommend going there.
I was very excited for a sushi restaurant on main Street and I would give 0 stars to this place if I could.
Ordered 2 sushi rolls and they were so bland and very expensive. Our food was super late because they had a new chef. So we were offered edamame and then they charged us for it. 😅
This is like going to a fast food restaurant and paying for Michelin star quality and getting worse than fast food.

Do you enjoy cheap Japanese food? Wish someone would "blend" it and charge you triple? Do you enjoy cocktails prepared nothing like the menu states, or even how they're classically made? Would you like 3 in a row made incorrectly? Well look no further than Takosushi, where we combine untrained college kids, poor ingredients, with a main street location to make you think we're worth the money. One of my worst dinner experiences this year. Experience so poor it is almost comical.

Any restaurant that tries to specialize in multiple things truly specializes in nothing. I tried their "asian stir fry" and what I received was a big bowl of soupy, watery vegetables and a couple pinches of rice on the side. The food had no flavor whatsoever. My wife had a skimpy quesadilla that barely had any meat and did not come with fetta cheese as described. The drinks were pretty good, but the prices of everything are insane for what you get. The tables are very small and the wait staff didn't seem like they wanted to be bothered by us. We definitely won't be coming back.
