    An assortment of appetizers
    Chucky H.

    Okay hold the phone! I thought Japan House was crunk and the pimpest sushi place in the DFW area (yes I still use 1999-2001 slang still) but there is a new baller in town. We went to Takara on a whim and it was the bomb diggity! Unlike other AYCE sushi restaurants that serve small portion appetizers, Takara is serving medium-large size appetizers that are much better quality than their competitors. I mean, a whole soft shell crab? Unagi Don with 4 huge eel steaks? A full 12 pieces of chicken karaage instead of a 3-4 piece serving? Who does that? Takara does that. Hamachi Kama (tuna collar) was unbelievable. The soups were great too. Oh and the takoyaki (my personal favorite) will knock your socks off. This being our first time at Takara, we were not prepared for the size and quality of the appetizers so we filled up on them before we could order much sushi. But we did order a few different nigiri, sashimi, hand rolls, and maki rolls. They were all very good but I feel like Takara's strength lies in their appetizer menu. We used to go out of our way to a different AYCE restaurant on our way home from the casinos in Oklahoma, but I think we found our new spot! The booths were large and comfortable. They have little cushions to sit on because the booths are hard wood with no padding. That was a nice touch. Our server was great but a little too apologetic. She kept apologizing even though we had no issues with the speed of service. We left a nice tip even though the robot server did a good portion of the work bringing us our orders. Like I said, we stumbled across a real gem right off of I-35 for a reasonable price and unexpected high quality of food and service. We will be back again soon!

    Food is great EVERYTIME, usually eat here once a week! Nigiri is great, all the rolls are fantastic. Lunch specials are a steal.

    Nice, clean, less-bright atmosphere.

    Pretty good. Food was the best aspect, service was friendly, but drink refills was non-existant. The robots that bring out the occasional items may seem novel and entertaining the first few times you see them, you soon realize they aren't really helping the wait staff, because they they literally had to wait for the robots to get out of their own way, and unlike humans the robots never notice your glass has been empty. So, not really a fan of them. Anyway, the atmosphere and everything was real nice. A tad on the pricey side, something I'd call "a birthday spot" and go to sparingly. But, in general, recommended.

    I ordered some soup broth on uber eats and was surprised by a cute little note someone from the restaurant left me. I added instructions that I didn't want any ingredients from the ramen because I'm on a liquid diet. I was met with an extra container and a note that stated they added extra broth for my soup. Such a thoughtful and kind gesture! I will definitely dine in once I'm better. Thank you guys for going above and beyond, that made my night!

    It's a cool day and what better way to warm up is with some soup and sushi with some hibachi veggies. Come on in for a polite friendly staff that welcome you with a smile. The vibes and atmosphere of tranquil and relaxing.

    Udon ramen noodle with steak which

    It was my first time visiting Takara Japanese Restaurant. I like the atmosphere and the design of the restaurant. It was nice and clean place. We were greeted and seated. The service was nice and friendly. They have serving robots, which is very cool. I ordered spicy tuna rolls which was delicious. Only thing was that they top the tuna rolls with fresh spinach which I did not understand why? For the main course, I ordered udon ramen noodle with steak which was delicious. The steak was little bit chewy. But all in all it was delicious meal, I will be back to eat.

    One of my favorite spots. Service is always great and so is the food. I love doing the all you can eat dinners.

    We came in with about an hour left of the AYCE deal. It was quiet. The crab Rangoon's were great so was the hamachi! Everything else unfortunately tasted the same. It was a bit off putting that grilled items in the sashimi platter came on ice and because it's hot, ended up sitting in a pool of water along side the cold items. Overall the experience was nothing to rave about unfortunately. Really had high hopes because of previous reviews.

    Not the worst Japanese restaurant I've been to, although expectations were high and I was fairly disappointed by the overall taste of food served. However, let's go over the pros and cons: Decorative aspects of this place is creative and amazing. I love how everything looks; from the conveyor belt, the trains that carry dishes, & the umbrellas at the ceiling. It's a good place to marvel at, with pretty good sushi (loved their red snapper & dragon roll!) On the other hand, this is NOT a place I'd recommend for good ramen. I tried the Tonkotsu Ramen & my partner tried the Miso Ramen, both mediocre at best. If anything, the noodles themselves did not taste authentic/had similar texture like other ramen places I've been to. The flavor of Tonkotsu was pale in comparison as well, I'd rather go to Wabi House, Hanabi, or Hakata Ramen. Service was OK. It could've been better as it looked understaffed, but at this point this is more of a nitpick. I would come back to try their bento boxes, but I'll be lowering my expectations.

    Freshness is not in the room with us.

    I had high hopes for this place. Don't believe everything you see on the internet. We were disappointed with the quality of the food. We saw the exact same rolls ride around this conveyor for so long. The shrimp in the ramen tasted weird. The sauces were an unappealing color. The conveyor strolled by mostly empty. The sushi was sweating in the containers because it was warm from being under the light. I'm concerned for my stomach here. The selection was subpar and we lost our appetite. I recommend the Akarii 100x over this place. Japan house is way better. Probably won't be back.

    Food was like it was pre-made. Barely ordered & brought it to us, wasn't really hot just barely warm. I do not like pre-made food.

    Is this the same Takara that was located off Watagua Road and Rufe Snow?

    Hi Eric R, we are not the same Takara as you mentioned.

    Do you have to sit at the hibachi table to order hibachi?

    Hi Linh T, we don't have the hibachi table that can serve in front of you, but we have hibachi menu that can order from our kitchen.

We started with the Atlantic dip and cornbread. The cornbread was so delicious! It was sweet, crispy, buttery and downright decadent! The Atlantic dip surprised me in the best way. It came with little slices of ciabatta bread, avocado and smoked salmon and made for a great combination. I selected (and no I'm not a child) chicken strips. Listen, they had me at jalapeño gravy. It came with slaw and hand cut French fries. The chicken strips were good, the fries delish, the slaw was mid, but the gravy, yummy! My friend had the crispy chicken sandwich and enessence, it was the same as mine but on a bun and no gravy. She said it was amazing too. The other friend had the meatloaf. As he said, he's never ordered meatloaf at a restaurant in his life but they said that was a speciality so he went with it and he was VERY happy with that decision. The meatloaf was grilled, came with a very nice glaze and served with mashed potatoes. He raved about all of it! Finally, my husband, he had the chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes. He too was very happy with his decision. The meat was tender enough to cut with a fork, and that seldom happens! He too, gave the mashed potatoes a 10/10! As far as the environment, it was nice. We weren't super dressed up or anything but I would say if you are going dress more on the upper casual side. Our waitress was ok, but I was super impressed that Justin, the manager, came by to check in, he was very kind and asked about our evening. Great customer service wins me every time! As you can see from my review page, we are on a DFW food tour and I must say, this one is up at the top!

It doesn't seem like much sitting in the strip center, but we walked inside. They've got two good size dining areas and plenty of room. Also we enjoyed that they had the football games on TVs in both rooms. The menu appears to be updated almost daily on a chalkboard. It took a minute to look over everything and make a choice. We opted for the fried oysters as an appetizer then I ordered the fish and shrimp plate and my wife ordered the # 7, which today was one cluster snow, crabs, and shrimp. They brought our food out in to go boxes, which is I guess what everybody eats out of. We were both blown away when we opened them up and saw how much food they give you. The portions are huge. My fish and fried shrimp was pretty good. The fish could use a little bit more seasoning, but it was cooked very well and tasted good. The shrimp was really good and once again I was surprised at how big they were. There was a ton of fries and only ate about half of them, but they were good as well. I was very impressed with the fried oysters. They were big oysters and tasted great. My wife loved her snow crab. It comes with tons of potatoes, corn on the cob and several shrimp and we were stuffed by the time we left. We will definitely come back and try something different on the menu next time
