Just passing by after doing some studying an decide to stop in, what a good choice that was! The warm sake was a new experience but pleasant all the same. The miso soup was probably the best I've ever had, very flavourful despite the minimal additions (just some nori added in). I ordered the spider roll and it did not disappoint! It was delicious and I will definitely be returning! The servers are all very friendly despite the apparent lack of staff, but they made sure my experience was comfortable and pleasant, an essential for me as I'm learning to be more comfortable with eating alone. read more

Best Sushi we have ever had. Would highly recommend. Sushi is presented on a wooden boat, with great precision read more

Ta-Ke Sushi - Sushi Boat - Sushi Bars Near Me - Kingston, Ontario

Though the name says "sushi", heed my advice: stick to the Korean dishes! That's not to say the sushi isn't good -- it is. Usually. But it can be quite a crapshoot, to the point I stopped bothering with the sushi long ago. One day it's amazing, the next the rice is undercooked and warm (and has partially cooked the fish!). The Korean menu, on the other hand, is near perfect, with bulgogi that Korean ex-pat friends have compared to some of the most comforting they've had from back home. My favourite is the soon tofu, a classic stew that is divine... I used to get this at least once a week when I lived and worked down the street. When I return to visit, I always try to get a bowl. And, like most Korean restaurants, if you order off the Korean menu you're destined for complimentary banchan. Wonderfully, assuming you're friendly and pleasant with your server, the banchan seems endless. As soon as it's close to gone, another round arrives and you're left wondering if you'll have room for your dinner. Braised tofu, sauteed rapini, kimchi, korean pancake, pickled cucumber, korean potatoes, chapchae... the list goes on! And it's all fantastic! Y'know, it occurs to me in writing this review that Ta Ke really is a tale of two restaurants. 5 stars for the Korean, 3 for the Japanese, which should come as little surprise considering the owners and most kitchen staff are Korean. I've yet to experience Korean as good as this in Toronto, though I confess I haven't exactly sought it out after a couple bad experiences in little Korea shortly after moving to TO. I suppose I should give it another go. In the meantime, I'll continue to dream about Ta Ke's soon tofu and their nigh endless supply of banchan! read more

I don't think this is the best sushi place in Kingston, but it's definitely one of the most popular and reasonable (for a sushi place in Kingston). The atmosphere is always very nice and the service is usually good. The sushi is usually pretty tasty and the experience will definitely quench any sushi thirsts you've had. Otherwise, don't expect your socks to be knocked off. Tip: That thing at the end of your table is a button to call for service. It's used in every restaurant in Korea (all the sushi places in Kingston seem to be owned by Koreans). Don't be afraid to use it! It's not rude and it will save some time over trying to catch their eye. read more

Ta-Ke has been around in Kingston for many years. Although most people likely come in for sushi, I often come in for their additional Korean offerings. (Bim Bim Bap is my favorite lunch time dish). Seating is expansive, compared to some of the other sushi houses in Kingston, and service is generally very pleasant, but not as attentive as it could be. read more

I first came here to Ta-Ke back in around 2006. Back then I was frequenting the place on my monthly pilgrimages to Kingston. Today I had the pleasure of coming back for lunch. What I had found is the decor of the inside basically was exactly the same as when I was there 7 years ago! Skip to the sushi. On this occasion I had the sushi-sashimi lunch special. My wife had the bulgogi lunch special. Flavour was okay but the rice tasted like it needed some more seasoning. Also the rolls tasted a bit bland! sashimi cuts were fresh and of decent size. I thought this visit was decent but not like I remembered it when I would come on a regular basis. Quality and price is fair but I would have to go again to test out other menu items! read more

Well rolled sushi. Very friendly staff. The sushi rice was a little underdone. The rolls were expertly rolled and tasted great. Being from the west coast, I need my sushi fix every few days and this place filled the void well. read more

I always come here when I'm craving sushi! Atmosphere and food are simple but great! I do find that the service can be slow (mainly when waiting for the bill or waiting to get your order taken) sometimes because they don't have many staff working at the same time but the great food makes up for it. read more

Love coming here for chicken teriyaki bento box. Food is excellent and service is great. Price range for a lunch is also great. Gets our thumbs up every time. read more

Ta-Ke Sushi - Chicken teriyaki bento box - Sushi Bars Near Me - Kingston, Ontario

Lots of people see this as the best sushi in Kingston. Having eaten sushi in Vancouver, Toronto, New York and LA...it is good if you need a sushi fix but your options are limited. An extensive menu with good selection and friendly staff. Some of the rolls are a good value. read more

I love this place! It's the best sushi place I've ever tried and I've tried a few. Great atmosphere, service and food! I go there every time I'm in town with friends and I've never heard a complaint about the place. There is a huge variety and quite often when I've been there with large groups we receive an off menu item on the house (maybe the chef feels creative, I'm not sure, but I'm not about to complain about that!) Highly recommended, you won't be disappointed. read more

I went for lunch in May 2013 and it was absolutely horrible. The service was terrible and the food was worse. I ordered Gyoza and they were deep fried and tasteless. Whatever mystery meat that was in the middle was inedible. Also ordered a tuna tempura roll with avocado. The roll was deep fried even though there was nothing in the description that indicated that the roll would be deep fried and covered in spicy mayo and soya sauce. Definite pass on this place. Skip it and have sushi elsewhere. So, so terrible. read more

I love the green dragon roll. Fresh and tasty!!!!!One of the best roll I have ever tried!

Quiet and calm atmosphere. Decent selection of food and sushi, in decent sized portions which ended up being very filling. Great customer service from the waitress, she was very relaxed and even converse with us as we were eating. The food was prepped and made rather quickly, not taking long before it was presented in front of us before our sushi boat was prepared. The prices for the sushi and the meal was decent and wasn't too expensive or on the cheap end, great for a first date or a gathering with friends. read more

We swung by Ta Ke Sushi on our way home from a long road trip and we had a great experience. Definitely on par with some of the sushi we get here in Toronto :) I had the bibambap, whereas my friends picked up some sushi. Everything was done perfectly! The sushi was delicious and rolled to perfection. My rice was perfectly sticky and hot. And I ate all my friend's leftovers, hehehe. The very best part of our experience there were the staff. The server was attentive and quick whereas the chefs were warm and willing to accept a few modifications without any problem. I think we may even got a little nip of food on the house! I would recommend Ta Ke to any. read more

I've been a customer for many years. I find this to be one of the best and most consistent suppliers of sushi in the city. I haven't experimented much with the Korean food but after reading the other reviews I will. read more

I have gone at least a dozen times to this restaurant for lunch. I always have a box lunch. The food is consistently good, the service is good and the price is fair. I particularly favour the Bulkogi box lunch and the Chicken terayaki. The tempura is good. I once had the salmon and it was a bit dried out, stil very tasty. read more
