    The quality of the fish and food was really great. Service was fast. I love the ambience of the restaurant. I feel in the beginning everything was explained well but at the end, they said there was a limit on desserts, and that wasn't explained anywhere on the menu or by our server. If that's what they want the policy to be, they need to update the menu and have the server educate the table at the beginning.

    Came to Takara around 8:30 PM on a weekday and opted for a la carte. They were kind enough to offer me their very late menu, which was not only affordable but also had smaller portions, perfect for trying a bit of everything without overdoing it. We ordered so many rolls and sashimi, and I also got some udon. Everything was super fresh and absolutely delicious. The quality of the fish really stood out. The service was quick, and they even had robots delivering food, which was such a fun touch. I'll definitely be back to try the all-you-can-eat next time, just need to come hungrier.

    We did a la carte. The sushi was decent, and came in a cute boat. The starters were pretty eh. I think probably good as a AYCE spot but was just okay as a la carte. Kevin our server was really great and very nice. Desserts were okay, fried oreos and cheesecake both kinda eh.

    Takara is a new AYCE sushi restaurant that just opened in Irving-Las Colinas. The prices are very affordable (for what you're getting), and the sushi quality is very good. And unlike other AYCE buffet style sushi restaurants, Takara makes your orders fresh, and the service is amazing. My Overall Rating - 4 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - Takara occupies the space where The Bluefish once stood. That's good because it benefits from plenty of parking. Inside, there is a dedicated bar, tons of seating with a mixture of tables and booths, and simple (not too gaudy) Japanese décor. The sushi chefs are in the back making your dishes fresh as you order it. 1 Star. Service - Our server was outstanding. Unlike the buffets where your server simply fills your water and clears your table, our server was attentive, always smiling, and most of all he had fantastic recommendations. Being that it was our first time, he expertly guided us through the process to ensure we ordered what we wanted without over ordering (you are charged for uneaten plates). 1 Star. Food - We ordered so many items I'm not able to highlight everything, but here's what really stood out for me: - Salmon Belly Sashimi - this was special as they don't always carry it. But this is a premium, luxurious cut with a very velvety texture compared to regular salmon sashimi. - Seaweed and Squid Salad - These are two separate appetizers, but we combined them into one. The squid was soft and tender, and the seaweed had the right slipperiness. Combined, it was like I ordered this from a fancy sushi place - Yellowtail Jalapeno - Like the salads above, the Yellowtail was fresh like I ordered it at a fancy place. Care though - my jalapenos were cut thick and had tons of heat that even the sauce couldn't cool me down. - Seared beef nigiri - A thin slice of beef is heated and served over nigiri rice. Since I'm a Texas, this was a very juicy bite of beef without being to thick. - Fried Oreo - Two Oreos are fried. I know I can get these at the State Fair, but dessert is included in your meal! The quality of the sushi is very good when you compare it to the price. Now, it's not the best in the world, but it's much better than I thought. 1 Star. Will I Return? - Yes! This location lost its sushi restaurant a few years ago, so I'm very happy Takara moved it. Not only is it AYCE sushi, but there's also so much more on the menu (ramen) that of course I will be back. 1 Star.

    We decided to look around to see if anything was closer to home. Particularly in the Dallas area. Lord behold, we have found something of a gem! Since April we have came back literally every week whether it is for lunch or dinner. Service is great, wait staff is on point and knows what we like by second visit based on our orders. First visit was with family of 8 both kids and adults included. The kids loved it! My four year old ate alot usually she only eats fries and steam rice. She ate the fried rice, her favorite fried shrimp tempura, and BBQ pork bun. We've probably tried mostly everything on menu. The tuna and salmon sashimi is hands down. Fresh and no smell. My sister who doesn't eat raw now eats raw fish! That's how no smell it is. Must try if you like mussels. Their dynamite mussels is a hit for me and I order 6 orders (2 pieces an order) hubby likes it too. Warm out of the oven or freshly baked hot cheesy and creamy with a hint of sweetness. They have fried rolls too. The Tokyo and Bath House roll seems to be a hit with sister. I haven't identified a favorite just yet. Udon noodles is flavorful and filled with veggies. So many nice things to say about this place. Prices are fair lunch $22.99 but menu items some are aimed for dinner items so to order that AYCE you must opt in for dinner price of $33.99, Kids are priced fairly for both lunch $5.99 3-5 YO and dinner $10.99 6-10 YO AO 5/13. Next time we will try the premium menu!

    It's our first time dining at Takara, though we've tried other all-you-can-eat Japanese sushi and sashimi restaurants before. The service was excellent--special thanks to Cris and his manager, Tan. The recent renovation has really opened up the space, creating a welcoming atmosphere. Unfortunately, some of the sashimi and sushi fell below expectations. The sushi chef could use more experience in both sashimi cutting and presentation.

    Food was spectacular - I love a good ayce sushi spot and this is it! Edwin is the kind of server who makes you want to come back again and again. He's incredibly friendly, always gets my order right, and even remembered me from my very first visit; that kind of personal touch is rare and unforgettable. Service like his turns a solo dinner out into a great experience and he absolutely deserves recognition for the way he goes above and beyond!

    So another place I found through TikTok and I have to say it exceeded my expectation. The food was so delicious. The presentation was amazing. The cool thing was a little robot brought out our food. It was so cute and the inside is so clean and pretty the staff is outstanding and friendly always checking on you it is amazing. I'll definitely be going back. It is worth the money. They have different options where you can choose to do the all you can eat or individually ordering. It was a wonderful date night. It is so pretty. I'll be coming back soon.

    Great all you can eat place with a decent price of 34.99. I wouldn't say anything was amazing but you definitely get value for your money. The location is spacious with a lot of seats. The employees pay attention and never rush you to leave.

    For a All You Can Eat Sushi spot, this was a great restaurant overall! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about the dishes. The atmosphere is welcoming but a lot more modern & nice for a celebratory dinner. They have a large variety of sashmi, sushi, nigiri, and hot dishes as well & is great for dinner or lunch.

    Tried this newly opened place on a Monday night. We got the appetizers first and they were all delish. They came in 2 pcs per order so it was perfect so you can try a lot of stuff. We had takoyaki , calamari, hamachi kama, tuna and steak tayaki, soft shell crab , butterfly kiss ( we had 2) . Then we moved on to their sashimi tuna, salmon , surf clam, tuna , white tuna, octopus, squid , mackerel and roe. I also tried the Ramen with tonkatsu flavor and charshu i loved the soup flavor thatvcane our creamy though the eggs were overcooked but still good. Sashimi cuts were fresh. For dessert we had green tea ice cream ( creamy delicious) and strawberry mochi. It was worth trying and i hope they don't change in the days ahead.

    Sushi vs Fried Food The sushi was horrible. The fish was good & fresh but half of every sushi dish was rice. The rice was very dry, hard, was not sushi grade rice & lacked vinegar. They used a different species of rice that was not sushi rice. They did not cook it with enough water & they did not use enough vinegar. The menu said "must eat all rice" or you will be fined. They have multiple video cameras trained on you to ensure that you do not waste any rice! They should put up signs saying, "must eat all sand," because that rice tasted like dry sand. Also, there was way too much rice & not enough fish. Check out my photos of the nigiri & Ahi tower. Furthermore, the poke bowl with salad had no rice but it was a big salad with just 2 tiny pieces of eel. The salmon poke bowl had just a tablespoon of salmon odds & ends. It was literally 1 tablespoon of tiny salmon scraps. See my photos of the poke bowls. All the sushi dishes were sad & impoverished. On the bright side, all their cooked food was good. The fried squid & shrimp tempura was not too greasy, crispy & hot. The Teppan shrimp was not waterlogged & seasoned just right. My date thought that it was too salty, though. The Teppan steak was surprisingly good cuz it was sirloin, not the usual skirt steak served at other all you can eat lunches. However, the cooking skill was inconsistent. I ordered it the first time without mentioning how to cook it & it came out perfect: medium rare. However, I ordered it medium rare the second time, but it came out well done. On my third order, it came out as ordered: rare. The chicken Takoyaki came out perfectly seasoned & was not dry. Service The waitress was friendly & prompt. When there were only 4 customers right after they opened, the kitchen was fast. However, after the arrival of a large table of 8, the kitchen slowed down & it took longer to receive my food. Ambience Everything was shiny & new. There was a high ceiling, so it felt very spacious & relaxing. They played soft rock in English instead of some foreign music that I didn't understand. Conclusion For great cooked Japanese food in a relaxed atmosphere & good service, you should go to Takara.

It has the right balance between an intimate classy establishment and a casual meet up place for a few friends. I went around Christmas time and the decor was really cute and not overdone. The food was amazing, and I would say it was reasonably priced. My dad loves this place because of how healthy fish is and that he can eat it with his special diet plan due to medical reasons. I have also tried the crystal roll (no rice), eel, and tuna, all of which were amazing. I absolutely plan on visiting again.

The Ramen broth is simple; it's not a layering of deep flavors like those found in other ramen places, which leads me to wonder if it's made in-house or purchased. On this trip, we tried some of their chicken offerings. While the chicken bento and chicken Katsu were better than the Ramen and sushi, they still weren't amazing by any means. The staff are likely well-intentioned, but they really amplify the disappointment and create discomfort. The moment you sit, they hover, pressuring you to order while still scanning the menu. The room is cramped; tables are packed so tightly that shifting your chair risks bumping the diner behind you. This is semi-acceptable if the place is packed, but it's not. The waitress insists on putting people next to each other instead of spreading them out a bit. At one point I briefly sat on the bench to help my child and the waitress took my chair away, it was uncomfortable and just odd to put it mildly. Recommend immediate staff training and professional assistance with dining layout to maximize seating while ensuring guest comfort.

The Spicy Tuna Tower was prettier than it tasted. Unfortunately, my standards are higher, coming from the Bay Area. Everything was just really salty and I ended up drinking a lot of water. On the bright side, the ambiance is nice and the service was excellent.

Food - I went with Pacific Table's special of the day: blackened redfish with creole sauce and a vegetable. WOW. This dish was a homerun. The fish was tender, well-seasoned, and the sauce added a creamy component that reminded me of the bayou. As a bonus, my sauteed spinach that I chose as my side was equally delicious.
