We just went to an outstanding seafood restaurant recently so it was unexpected when this turned out to be even better! The dish ordered - Assorted Tempura - was excellent. The service and atmosphere were good. Prices were very reasonable read more

We love Takashi. Sonny's Fried Rice (add chicken and extra shrimp), Hibachi Chicken and the Yellow Curry with Shrimp AND chicken are on heavy rotation with us. We could eat there everyday...but it is a little pricey for a family of 5 to eat there multiple times per week. We have never actually dined in, always takeout, because well... the kids and because we limit our son to outings that require him to be in close quarters to others due to him being a St. Jude patient. Any restaurant that consistently prepares takeout correctly and with great quality always ranks high in my book. I highly recommend Takashi and as I'm typing this, it's making me want to place an order. read more

I ordered Red Curry from the Thai menu to go with an allergy to tree-nuts, peanuts, and seafood. The server that answered the phone was sweet and attentive to my concerns prior to confirming my order. The dish was amazing and I hope to be back with friends. read more

Came here for dinner tonight and had amazing service and amazing sushi! Shayne was our server and helped us pick some delish rolls - the Red Top roll was one of the best sushi rolls I've ever had! We also got the Joe roll, spicy crawfish, and the pacific roll. All were super great but the pacific roll had a little too much Smokey flavor for me. Overall it was a great value for very high quality sushi! Can't wait to come back - PS during their happy hour they have $2 beers read more

The service here is impeccable! The food is excellent. I really enjoy the chicken coconut soup and fresh salmon nigiri. Their fried rice is also good. read more

It was average. Not bad but not great. We had it delivered to the hospital. I'm sure it better hot in the restaurant.

We have enjoyed Takashi Bistro since it first opened. We usually order the teriyaki chicken or shrimp. We have only used the take out or delivery for the last year. All was well until our latest order. It was delivered this time, with no issue. Food was hot. However, though the rice and veggies were good, the teriyaki chicken was extremely dry. Hard to cut and even harder to chew. Don't know what happened. Hoping their chef will get the word. Not gonna trust it next time, or maybe we'll just reconsider all together. read more

I haven't been here in a year, got the yellow curry. Was not as flavorful as I remembered and made my stomach feel terrible a few hours after eating. Not sure if the rice was old or the curry was not handled properly but the taste and my stomach/body's reaction to eating the food was off. read more

We called in an order for takeout last Friday and was given an ETA of 30 min. We ordered the padthai, rainbow roll, shrimp tempura roll, salmon and avocado roll, and one other. At the 30 min mark we arrive at the restaurant to pick up the order but we're told it's not ready yet - no biggie. We pay and wait in the lobby area thinking it'll just be a few minutes. Time passes..and passes..and passes and it's not until 30 min later that I'm told our food was given away to another customer and that they are remaking the food for me. It takes them another 10-15 to make the food and after a whopping 1hr 15 min...we finally have a dinner to bring home. I tried not to let the delay cloud my opinion of the food - I understand mistakes happen. But, I really thought everything was just OK. None of the rolls stood out. The padthai was the real disappointment - it was bland (which is a far cry from what padthai should be) and the noodles were just mushy - I wonder if it was even cooked in a wok... read more

I had the chicken Bento box and it was excellent. Don't forget to ask for the Yum Yum sauce. If I'm ever in Memphis again I will return.

We really glad that we found this restaurant for our lunch break during our road trip. We were craving for asian food and initially gambled for this place. I turned out this place is a jewel. Place was 5/5. It was clean and you can sense the Japanese ambience on the resto. We were greeted very politely when entered the place. We waited 1 minute to be seated but it was normal as it was a lunch break. So the resto was pretty occupied. This place is also baby friendly but better not to bring your stroller. I am pretty surprised they got a very good bento box for lunch. We got salmon bento box and lunch menu sushi (mostly tuna and salmon also). The fish was so fresh. The portion is good too. You got miso soup and salad for the lunch menu. Plus the appetizer for the bento box. Really recommended place. Y'all gotta visit this place. read more

I let Yelp decide where I was going to eat today and after being recommended Takashi Bistro I must say I'm very happy with the recommendation. This has to be the best chicken Pad Thai I have ever had and you can even choose your level of heat which is a great. The service in the restaurant was amazing everyone was very friendly and helpful. Very clean and enjoyable space to be in. read more

The food was amazing and so is our waiter we got the fried rice. I personally got the clay pot, shrimp. My husband got the hibachi and I also got some potstickers.. everything was great. We had a reservation and they took care of us, but they cannot accommodate large parties larger than 10 People Pl. is relatively small. read more

The food here was absolutely to die for and the customer service was awesome. The vibes at this place are perfect, love the big TVs and any time I had a question about something or asked for a recommendation, they were all on point. The girl with the short blue hair was so kind, and my server Madi was THE best. Everything was on point definitely coming back. read more

This was my first time eating there and there was no disappointment! Service was excellent I have no clue what her name was but my server was very knowledgeable and even gave me great suggestions. The food was great as well, everything was so hot I burned my mouth. Definitely worth stopping by. Perfect ambience and I noticed all of the employees were happy to be there which is a basis for great service. Definitely will come back!!! read more

It's been a minute, but I'm trying to get back to my reviews! Unfortunately, this 1 won't be that great. I purchased the hibachi dinner combination with salmon and shrimp. My piece of salmon is a strip that has been cut in half. This is the second time this has happened. The first time, I just requested a refund and took a break from coming. This time, I don't feel like dealing with it, and I haven't eaten, so I'll just give a review. I also asked for my rice not to have veggies but they are in there. I didn't care about that too much, but the portion size I do care about. When I went back to ask, the young lady at the counter just said "yes, that's our filet cut in half," and started back doing whatever she was doing. Which I felt was rude because I was still just standing there. My meal was $30. This experience was definitely disappointing...again read more

Michael is the best server so quick and polite. The food is great and that have a fun variety of cocktails.

This is a really easy place to grab dinner or lunch. It's one of the first restaurants I tried when I came to Memphis because it was close to my Airbnb. It's in a great location, right on Union avenue head and intersection with a light. There's plenty of easy parking around the restaurant. Online ordering can be done right through the website, which I love. The orders go through quickly and reliably. They have a big menu with a nice variety. I've done take out a bunch of times. Each time the food was waiting for me. You pay at the restaurant which I like. I've mostly gotten the shrimp tempura combo and a couple different sushi rolls. The tempura meal seems a bit pricey but there's plenty of food. Tempura shrimp and vegetables and fried rice and soup and salad. I tried another couple of places for tempura but Takashi had the best by far. It's light and crunchy and stays hot for a while! Important for take out. The sushi was good, too. Everything seemed fresh. The rice stayed together in the roll. One time they did mess up my order but they were very nice on the phone. Refunded me no problem. I could have gone back but I was lazy. Their integrity makes me want to return. I also ate in person once. Finally got to have the lunch time bento box. It comes with dumplings and California rolls. It was the first time I liked a California roll. Very good! The service was quick and attentive the whole time I was there. Great spot! read more

I ended up in Takashi one evening trying to avoid 5 o'clock traffic and I'm so glad I did! I've been back once a week since then. I normally have the vegetable hibachi or drunken noodles. Let me tell you, I've never had hibachi with so much flavor! No soy sauce. No yum yum sauce. And the best part is that everything is made fresh and in house. The staff is always friendly and attentive. My fav is Shayne! She makes sure I'm taken care of. Do yourself a favor and get some of the best food in Memphis!! read more

Today was special. We ordered shrimp fried rice- large portion with at least half a dozen shrimp; Cajun tempura roll- crispy and a little spice; and eel and avocado roll- delicious. They also make the prettiest cocktails.This peach blossom had just the right amount of peach schnapps! read more

This is one of the best Asian cuisines in midtown Memphis area, I tried shrimp and chicken and noodles. All tasted good must go place.

Who eats Japanese food in Memphis? I do! My husband and I were visiting a grandson at St. Jude's Children's Hospital and we're in search of a nice, quiet restaurant away from the busy city center, and boy did we find a gem! Nice atmosphere, great service, and the best Thai entree I've ever eaten - and I've eaten a LOT of Thai food. While the menu is primarily sushi and other Japanese plates, I couldn't get past the one page of Thai dishes, so I ordered the Pad Ka Pow. The flavor was absolutely amazing and the veges were sliced thinner than usual so you got a nice mixture in every mouthful. We also ate a delightful sushi roll, although I couldn't tell you which one. I simply asked the server for something spicy and crunchy and she delivered! My husband did enjoy a Japanese entree and liked it as well. My grandson will be in Memphis for another 6 months, so we will be back and we will definitely make another visit (or two!). read more

Takashi Bistro - Pad Thai - Japanese Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

Pad Thai is the best in Memphis by far!!! No joke I've been searching for "good" pad Thai for YEARS. I've had a lot of failures. Bangkok Alley was the only option but now that they've closed I decided to try Takashi. I already knew the sushi was really good so decided to give their Thai cuisine a try. I am so pleasantly surprised and it's even better than BA in my opinion. read more

This place is super delicious! :) We popped in on a whim after seeing it was a new restaurant in town. We were quickly seated and the service was excellent as well. I ordered the chicken teriyaki with rice and it was the best teriyaki I've had in the city. They also serve sushi and my bf loved it (he ordered a California roll and Philadelphia roll IIRC). Anyway, you should definitely give this place a chance if you like yummy Japanese food at a pretty reasonable price! read more

After 5 visits now...(lunch/dinner)...i am still happy eating here. They have a variety of cusines and dishes, reasonable happy hour prices however "overall" the reg. pricing isnt too bad...(found a lovely ladies ring in the ladies room tonight by the way- if "you" forgot to pick it up, see the owner- and describe it), There are lots of good asian beers on tap or bottled, a variety of regular and special sushi rolls, sashimi, thai, bento box lunches, etc...nothing too crazy all made fresh...try it out...people are friendly here...Ample parking on premises.. read more

Sleek and attractively designed, still quick-paced for a fast good lunch. Food is cooked just right, with an open concept kitchen where guests can see preparation, while still separated from the "work vibes" environment. read more

One of our favorite places in Memphis. The sushi and Thai food are always superb. Also it's super close to the zoo!

My wife and I have done takeout and dine in from this place several times. My wife always gets sushi and she likes the sushi that they do here. I tend to order more dinner and appetizers from the menu, like some of the noodle dishes and the tempura apps. They serve alcohol if you're dining in and they are generally pretty quick in terms of service. Take out is always pretty on point and we really like having another really good take out option in this genre. It's pretty close to a similar restaurant, but we have gone here more than we have to the nearby competition lately. read more

I love Takashi. I could eat here everyday. They have a lot of menu options & every thing I've tried so far has been excellent. It's hard to decide what to get -but every time I go I get coconut soup. It's addictive. The drunken noodle dishes are also a favorite. Lots of sushi choices -all fresh & tasty. Tried several appetizers & curry's. All very good. I'm still working on trying more menu items, Service has been efficient & friendly. read more

Had lunch there with my daughter while dropping her off at college. She had a wonderful roll and I had a beto box. It was really good but I thought it was odd they would not serve me the lunch portion on a Sunday. We were there for lunch and I didn't want to eat that much. I had to order the dinner portion and guess what....? I couldn't finish it and I had to take some home! The food was good but, I just felt like they could show a little better customer service by serving the lunch portion to patrons that want that during the lunch hour, no matter what day it is. read more
