We had such a great experience here! Everything was very fresh and delicious, and we really enjoyed every dish. The quality of the food was excellent, and the service was wonderful as well. We had such a happy and enjoyable dinner. Definitely a place we would love to come back to again!
This place is so good I went twice in the same week! Every piece was so perfect and it was the perfect amount of food. Of all the places I've been for omakase in LA I'd say this is the best bang for your buck especially if you go for lunch during the weekdays. You won't be disappointed. It's located in Weller Court and many folks go to sushi gen and other spots but this place is so fresh and the service is wonderful. Also very quiet inside.
Omg i loved my lunch omakase here! The services and food were amazing. I also got the chili plum wine and I loved it. The price for lunch is a great deal with all kind of sushi and soup. Must try! The restaurant looks a bit small but the bar seating is awesome!
My friend and I enjoyed a lunch omakase at Sushi Takeda this past Tuesday for 110pp. I made a reservation a few weeks in advance on Tock (had to pay 60pp deposit up front that we were refunded back upon arrival). We sampled 18 different bites, ranging from nigiri to cooked appetizers, and ended the meal with their house made yuzu soda, which was bright, not too sweet, and nicely carbonated. The rice quality is pretty good, but a bit stickier than I expected. The ginger was sweet with a strong pungent zing. SESAME TOFU Stickier than normal and paired with a sweet soy sauce. Very nutty. MADAI (RED SNAPPER) Light flavored fish, but the bit of pickled(?) veggies added a nice kick. AKAMI (LEAN B.F. TUNA) Fresh and enhanced by the slightly sweet soy sauce. It melted in my mouth and definitely one of the best akamis I've had. AJI (SPANISH MACKEREL) Topped with ginger, green onion, and seaweed. Very briny and smooth fish. The overall flavor reminded me of a seasoned grilled fish. IKA MESHI (STUFFED SPEAR SQUID) Fresh flavor and crunch, but not sure if I enjoyed it stuffed with rice. The light dashi gravy was a nice touch. SAWARA (KING MACKEREL) Smoked and topped with yuzu daikon radish. Fruity and bright with a bit of mellow crunch from the daikon and a lingering salty after taste. KAKI (OYSTER) Slightly poached and marinated, topped with yuzu. Almost crunch like texture; mildly briny with a bright citrus flavor. Very "sea sweet." CHAWAN MUSHI Topped with steam crab and mixed with a bit of herb. Very smooth custard with a bit of yuzu mixed in for brightness. KINMEDAI (GOLDEN EYE SNAPPER) Smooth, very delicate flavor that was hard to pick out. Not my favorite. CHU TORO (MEDIUM FATTY B.F. TUNA) Very creamy and instantly melted in my mouth. Elevated a bit with soy sauce. One of our favorite bites! IWASHI MAKI (SARDINE ROLL) Instead of seaweed, it was wrapped in pickled daikon. Salty and a bit juicy with a nice crunch. Very interesting. BURI (WILD YELLOWTAIL) Bright and citrusy which paired well with the more delicate flavors of yellowtail. Light soy sauce was nice. BOTAN EBI (CURED SPOT PRAWN) Very sweet and soft, lightly seasoned with soy sauce. MISO SOUP Very lightly seasoned with a few mushrooms for earthiness. Very warm and soothing. MINI UNI IKURA BOWL Sushi rice topped with red and purple uni from Hokkaido and soy-marinated ikura. The red uni was sweeter and more custard-like, while the purple uni was more briny and earthy. Ikura was juicy and fresh. Probably my favorite course. ANAGO (SEA EEL) Soft, broiled eel with a bit of citrus brightness from yuzu and topped with sea salt. TAMAGO ROLL The tamago was paired with a deep-red pickled vegetable that was a bit sweet. Almost like a dessert, it was a good end to the omakase. This was definitely one of the better omakases I've had that offers a variety of nigiris and appetizers at a lower price point. I wasn't 100% full, but I was satisfied with the courses. They do use yuzu to brighten the courses (at least 4-5 were done in this way). Overall, my friend and I really enjoyed the omakase, and we both agreed that Sushi Takeda is worth coming back to!
Service: Fantastic. We got the sake sampler and the server presented and poured each bottle and was adept at explaining the profile of each one. Each sake chosen for the sampler was a great choice and the pour was enough that me and my partner could each have some. Ambiance: quiet, simple, semi-formal. Located upstairs hidden away in little Tokyo, restaurant itself is quite small and traditional feeling with the sushi bar being the mean feature for omakase with a few scattered tables. Food: For 2 people after tax, 20% tip, and sake sampler, the bill was over $800. It is $300 per person for the omakase. I don't feel it was worth this price. $300+ is the price of a Michelin starred establishment. While I left very very full and can say the fish quality was great, some of pieces of nigiri, almost 1/3 just had way too much wasabi on them. I don't have any problem with wasabi but wasabi is meant to cut the fishiness and complement the fish, not overwhelm and obscure its qualities. This omakase was more edomae traditional style, focused on nigiri, but didn't feel the presentation of the nigiri or the other non-nigiri courses were enough for me to come back here and spend Michelin star prices when I've been to $180 and $220 omakases for cheaper that made me want to return.
Service was so helpful and sweet... clean and fresh Food was delicious and refine Flavor was out of Japan anime and movies Quiet and reserved Drinks were smooth and nice The pictures give it justice This place is in the plaza 3rd floor
Came here to celebrate my engagement and had the best time. We had the nigiri omakase and enjoyed every course! I really liked the texture and flavor of the rice. Good selection of sake and beer too, I like that they let you pick out your own sake glass. Customer service was excellent and our sushi chef provided a fun experience. I don't like when restaurants feel pretentious, and Sushi Takeda was the perfect mix of high end but still relaxing. I can't wait to come back!
It was easy to make a reservation through Tock, and the overall experience was smooth and organized. When I arrived, they gave me the option to wait for a seat at the bar or sit at one of the tables. For an omakase, the price point is quite reasonable for lunch. The service was attentive throughout the meal and they always made sure my beverage was topped off. However, the fish didn't taste as fresh as I expected. Maybe it was just an off day, but nothing in particular stood out from the pieces. It wasn't bad, just not especially memorable.
Came for dinner at the bar. Loved the nigiri omakase and the chef was so kind and delightful! All around a great experience. The fish was of incredibly fresh quality, and I really liked the oyster, tempura and chawanmushi in between the nigiri as well. It was a bit wasabi heavy but nothing I couldn't handle. The rice was also nicely vinegared and held together just perfectly. The chutoro and mackerel roll were standouts.
Lunch omakase $110/pp Tuesday to Thursday, and $120/pp Friday and Saturday. We came on a Wednesday and the entire meal was excellent, felt like we walked straight into a sushi bar in Japan. Highly recommend. Parking was $15 for me even with validation of a purchase at the market downstairs (-___-)
Sushi takeda $120/person Omakase 1. house made sesame tofu (5/5, very creamy) 2. Ginger (palate cleanser) 3. Japanese green fish (5/5) 4. Marinated bluefin tuna. Dries for 8 days. (5/5, not fatty) 5.

Innards are included inside the small pieces) 7. King mackerel smoked with hay and topped with yuzu and daikon (4/5, stronger smoked fish flavor) 8. Sea cucumber marinated with green tea and topped with daikon as a palate cleanser (3/5, texture like nata de coco. Firm, crunchy, slimy, but tasty) 9. Chawanmushi. Steamed egg custard with shrimp broth, king crab, and yuzu (5/5, so good. Creamy, crab was perfect and yuzu flavor was complimentary to the egg custard) 10. Golden eye snapper (4/5, nothing too special about this one) 11. Otoro tuna dried for 2 weeks (5/5, sweet, fatty, rich but not overly so) 12. Sardine roll with shiso wrapped in seaweed and pickled daikon (3/5, not my favorite) 13. Wild yellowtail (4/5, thick cut, yuzu flavor was nice to match the mild flavor of fish) 14.

Birthday dessert: hojicha pudding (5/5, not too sweet, nice flavor and very smooth texture, roasted green tea) 20. House made yuzu soda Can order extras from what you ate during the omakase so we got extra otoro and scallop, blue crab hand roll (very sweet crab meat, good ratio of rice to crab) and hagashi (super fatty tuna, very good, very sweet, no sinew, delicious) Atmosphere was very relaxing, soothing music. They ask everyone to turn the volume off on their phones so there's no interruptions. No rushing to eat fast or get you out to get another table in. they let you take your time and enjoy the food. Very quick and efficient service. Staff is very knowledgeable and willing to educate you on what you're eating Small restaurant. Only 8 seats at the bar and 6x 4-tops. Best to make a reservation
Went here for our anniversary last year. The servers were attentive and explained each dish to us. Food was really good too. It's a smaller place so you have to make reservations and seating is limited. There's something peaceful about this place and it just seemed calm.

Sushi Takeda is an omakase restaurant on the third floor of the Weller Court. Reservations can be made on Tock. Parking is available inside the building. The driveway into the parking lot is tough to find and accessible off 2nd street. I've had a good amount of experiences with Omakase. I would rate is a solid 8/10. The fish and dishes are fresh and have creativity. I think if I'm spending $180 pp for nigiri omakase I was expecting more. Service was excellent. If I were to return I would try their lunch option. Less cheaper with the same quality would warrant the price. read more

We came to Sushi Takeda for the lunch omakase to celebrate my birthday, and overall it was a solid experience with very good sushi. The omakase progression was well-paced, and each piece highlighted the freshness and quality of the fish. I really enjoyed the variety of different fish that came out throughout the meal because it kept the experience interesting and gave a nice diversity of flavors and textures from start to finish. Nothing felt overly heavy or gimmicky -- just quality sushi prepared with care. The lunch omakase also felt like a really good deal for the quality you're getting. It's not easy to find this level of freshness and variety at that price point, especially for an omakase experience. That said, the service aspect could definitely have been better. Since we were there celebrating my birthday, it would have been nice if the staff had shown a little more hospitality or even simply asked if we were celebrating a special occasion. The sushi chef and staff also seemed a bit distracted talking amongst themselves throughout the meal, which made the atmosphere feel a little hectic and less attentive than we expected. Also worth noting: there was no parking validation, which was a little disappointing considering the location. Overall, the sushi itself was very enjoyable and definitely the highlight of the experience. read more

We came for a Saturday lunch for my husband's birthday, and this was the perfect celebratory omakase! I don't often find lunch omakases, but Saturday lunch was the only time we had free, so I was pumped to find something so refined and at such a great price for lunch! We were seated promptly at the bar (note: you can only get sushi bar seating with an 11:30am res), offered water or tea, and the fish came shortly after. Each piece was delicate, delicious, and meticulously made/explained by Chef Takeda himself. We loved the Spanish mackerel (soy glaze on top was fab, and there was such a tasty meatiness), uni ikura bowl, oyster chawanmushi (perfect level of briney-ness).. honestly everything! The miso soup had such depth of seafood flavor. I think there were 15-16 courses; all of this for $120pp! For my husbands birthday, they gave us a green tea crème brûlée which was a perfect end alongside their housemade yuzu soda. Thanks for the lovely birthday meal, Sushi Takeda! We'll be back next time we're in LA! read more

First time here enjoying a omakase at Sushi Takeda located in Little Tokyo. It is in the same area in the Weller Court. On the second floor below the Marukai Market. My friend really loves this place and wanted us to try it out. She has been coming here yearly for about five years and it was a great dinner. The chefs and service was very traditional and each course that was served to us, was given a nice description. We sat at the sushi bar so it was very inviting and also super clean. The place looks nice and everyone enjoyed the food. Overall I would for sure recommend this spot! read more

Came here as a birthday surprise and had an amazing experience. The atmosphere was friendly and welcoming. We were seated at a private table near the entrance instead of the bar, which we really appreciated. We've been to several omakase restaurants before, but none of them were very memorable. This one was by far the best omakase we've had so far. Everything was delicious, and the service was excellent. They even surprised us with a birthday dessert at the end, which made the night extra special. Definitely coming back! read more

Solid authentic omakase that doesn't break the bank. Chef focuses on traditional top tier quality ingredients and doesn't stray off with the gold flakes, truffle etc. The stand out for me was the uni and Hairy crab Chawanmushi. The other dishes were great too but that's standard for quality omakase. Staff was very nice and attentive. Ambience was great. Highly recommended read more
The most beautiful, decadent experience of my life. I've never had better sushi. If you love sushi, this is a must go. Chef Takeda was there to greet us at the door; we were celebrating our recent elopement and the staff surprised us with sparkling sake. If that wasn't enough, we were whisked through the tiny restaurant to our seats at the sushi bar, where we were offered the chance to see their dry-aged tuna up close, given expert sake pairings for our omakase menu, and the treated to the most incredible service. The servers were on top of everyone's needs, refills never had to be asked for, and despite the set menu, the chefs had no problem offering substitutions for my husband (who doesn't like uni or squid). The only person disappointed by the kind substitution options was me, because it meant I didn't get to eat the things my partner didn't want - because he wanted everything! Adding that after this amazing first experience, I immediately went back and took my sister for her birthday because I think everyone deserves to have and share such a beautiful experience. This place is an icon of service, presentation, and flavor. I still dream about the fish here. read more

Highly recommended by all of my friends! I've become a big fan too. Sushi Takeda is one of the most memorable omakase experiences I've had in LA. The quality of the fish is outstanding--clean, precise flavors, perfect temperature, and thoughtful pacing from start to finish. Every piece felt intentional, and you can tell Chef Takeda really respects the ingredients. The balance between traditional technique and subtle creativity was exactly what I look for in an omakase. Service was warm, attentive, and professional without feeling stiff. The atmosphere is intimate and calm, making it great for a date night or a special occasion. Reservations are worth it--this is the kind of place you want to bring friends who truly appreciate sushi. Highly recommend Sushi Takeda if you're looking for a refined, high-quality omakase in Little Tokyo. read more
I visited Sushi Takeda for lunch omakase right when it opened and the restaurant was packed in no time. Definitely recommend making a reservation ahead of time. The unassuming exterior is in sharp contrast with the Japanese inspired interior. My lunch omakase included- 1. Sesame Tofu with wasabi and dashi sauce 2. Red snapper with yuzu, lemon and cherry blossom leaves - it was a little chewy but had fresh citrusy flavor 3. Dry aged bluefin tuna - this one was really good. 4. Spanish mackerel - alright 5. Trout - quite good 6. Young bluefin tuna - personal favorite, smoky and salty 7. Fried white fish marinated in vinegar (palette cleanser) 8. Chawanmushi with mashed oyster, seaweed 9. Golden eye snapper 10. Chu toro - medium fatty tuna 11. Amberjack 12. Miso soup 13. Jumbo scallop 14. Belt fish 15. Hokkaido uni with dashi marinade 16. Tamago maki 17. Refresher- housemade yuzu soda Overall, it is a good price for all that you get. They don't use as much garnish on their nigiri which really puts the focus on the fish. The fish was fresh but some nigiri pieces didn't quite hit the mark. The service was fast and attentive. Sushi Takeda is a decent option for a reasonably priced lunch omakase if you are in the LA area. read more

A little hidden gem that I never knew about. Super under the radar..for me at least. Its in the Marukai market plaza on the 3rd floor. The restaurant is somewhat blocked by a little structure so its super easy to miss. They have different tiers of omakase--depending on whether you want a sushi version, sit at the bar or the table, those can all change the pricing. We got the lunch special omakase which is a GREAT DEAL for only $110. Booking was made on Tock a week prior. Parking is in the basement (they take venmo and cash). They seat you at the bar in the order you come in so unluckily for us, we were first and got the very end where you don't get birds-eye-view of the fish slicing. Actual omakase was great. Lots of delicious fish. It was a no frills omakase without all the gold flakes type of stuff. Chef was great at explaining each dish and very friendly. There was a unique signature roll that was very pretty. I do wish there was a more personalized spin on some of the dishes~to make the dishes more "unique" and stand out more. At the end, you're given an option to select additional sushi from their menu for extra $$. We opted to just try their dessert, the kombu ice cream with salt flakes. A hint of saltiness with sweetness. Pretty good. Their housemade yuzu drink was also pretty refreshing when paired with the meal. It was overall a nice, comfortable meal. Shared the place with my friends so they could hopefully try the place out. On a side note, they also seem to be single diner friendly ~saw a few "one-man-band" people and they ate happily. read more

The lunch omakase as of November 2024 was amazing and priced for $110 per person. Dinner is around $140. Location: located on top of a multilevel building Parking: scarce street parking, best in garage Service was attentive and stellar by the chef. He has super hearing and we appreciated that he corrected wrong statements about the fish we were eating. He even opened the door for us to leave as we exited. Needless to say, each course was delicious with fish sourced from Toyosu, Japan. I would definitely return. read more

Overall, very fresh sushi and marinated without the need for soya sauce. I got there around 6 ok and the feast ran for 2 hours. I tried the signature omakase. A little pricy at $300 but worth the price. read more
This was a great sushi experience. Chef Takeda had many unique preparations as well as some more standard preparations that were all executed superbly. I particularly enjoyed the aged marinated tuna and the scallop but pretty much every dish was excellent. It's not cheap but well worth the splurge for a special occasion read more
I came for a lunch omakase at $110 per person, and it's honestly very well-priced compared to other nearby omakase spots. Be sure to make a reservation, as there is a deposit fee. The quality and service are top-notch from start to finish. We were fortunate to sit at the bar, where the chefs were incredibly friendly and explained each dish. By the end of the meal, we were pleasantly full--not stuffed. There's also an option to add extra pieces for an additional charge. Parking can be challenging in Little Tokyo, but there's a parking garage for $15. If you plan on street parking, be sure to allow extra time before your reservation to find a spot. read more

Went here for another omakase experience in los angeles area; only this time around, we tried their "Lunch Omakase". This is hands down one of the best omakase experiences I've ever encountered. Service was definitely top notch. Came in exactly on time when the place opened; and everyone was ready. There was no waiting at the lobby for them to prepare; as they really value and respect your time. Were greeted by multiple attendants and was seated promptly. The place feels very personal and the ambiance is very peaceful. Chef was very focused, attentive and descriptive with his art. Every single dish that was served was fresh and the overall course was very cohesive. Every single omakase that I've experienced always occurs on nighttime, and this is the first time I've ever experienced doing this at lunchtime; I honestly thought it would be weird, but I stand corrected; this should definitely be in your itinerary when visiting Los Angeles. Highly recommend. read more

My husband took me here for a lunch omakase to celebrate my birthday and I really enjoyed it. It is located on the 3rd floor of the plaza. There is structure parking underground but it is $15 as the restaurant doesn't validate for parking. You can get a validation from the market for 1hr but minimum spending is $25. I loved each piece of sushi and dish made by the chef. The texture and flavor were great. I got a housemade yuzu soda and it went very well with overall course. My husband got a hot sake and it was good too. The chef was very nice and welcoming. I think the price of $110 is very reasonable for this quality of omakase. Will definitely recommend checking out if you are a sushi lover :) read more

Nigiri omakase at sushi bar! Comes with 13 pieces of Edomae style nigiri, 4-5 small dishes, and 2 desserts. Chefs were super friendly and brought out a giant slab of toro to show their dry aging process! Yuzu and shiso flavors were my favorite overall Started with tako in a bonito abalone broth + plum and sake reduced dipping sauce and then went straight into the nigiri, with a few palette cleansers in between. First time tasting creamy, non-fishy uni (life-changing I must say). Overall very good and as a sushi lover I would definitely come back. $160pp - the attention to detail, quality, and experience is worth a try read more
First time trying omakase and it turned me into a sushi believer. Came here to celebrate a friend for his birthday, and wow did this place not disappoint! Located on the third floor of a multi-level plaza in Little Tokyo, it was like reaching the food equivalent of the pearly gates. The service staff is so friendly and welcoming, and the ambience is cozy, charming, and tidy. Although I can't quite remember what we had through a large selection of a la carte's, broths, and dessert, everything was perfect, unique, comforting, and lush with flavor. The presentation for everything served here is remarkable, with each dish boasting its own personality. Thanks for getting me into sushi after years of rejecting it! read more
Got to experience the Nigiri Omakase at the sushi bar for dinner Saturday night. This included 13 pieces, 5 small dishes, and dessert. The course at the bar was $20 more than the table which I think is totally worth. We got sat about 5 minutes before the reservation time, all the servers were sweet and made us feel welcomed Reason for 4 stars instead of 5 stars: -The chef was super sweet! I just wished he thoroughly explained each piece. My husband and I had to ask what was on top of the piece a few times. -The rice texture and amount was not consistent the whole time. -Wished we got the hokkaido uni as a nigiri instead of getting it over rice with roe. It would've been so much better by itself. There is a parking structure with an elevator that takes you up towards the restaurant. Make sure to get validation! I had to pay $15 for parking.. read more

How long is the signature dinner omakase?
We were there for about two hours from start to finish, we left full, and we are foodies.
How much is the omakase?
$110 for lunch, $140 dinner at table, $160 dinner at bar, and $280 signature omakase at bar! You must book online and pay a deposit that's refunded at arrival :)
Are the 12 nigiri serve at lunch the same fish they serve at dinner?
The staff did mention during my visit that the nigiri may change daily but overall should be consistent from lunch to dinner. I believe the only variations may be based on amount of servings.
How much is the omakase?
$140 per person (Nigiri) or $280 per person(signature, must reserve a week before)
When do they release next month dates for reservation on Tock.com? Thanks
Reservations can be made for any dates within 30days from today through Tock or contacting directly.
If I wanna order a few more pieces of sushi after the 12-piece nigiri omakase is done, if it possible?
Yes, Chef Hide typically asks if you'd like any additional pieces before concluding the meal with the final piece of white fish castella.
Do they have the plastic partition setup for Covid?
No but they space people apart and there are only a few other guests in the whole restaurant with you!
How can I make a reservation they are not picking up their phone?
They are on Tock.com. I would pick the $100 (lunch) Omakase or $120 (Omakase) (dinner) over the $250 Omakase. The value of the $150 difference is not evident. Great deal for $100/ $120
Can I order for delivery? If so, through what app? Thank you
its on postmates as mako sushi
