Such an amazing place! I love to come here with my family and we've yet to find a dish that isn't amazing. Susan, our server, was extremely attentive and fulfilled all of our requests. She even gave us some extra mints after when we told her they were our favorite. We ordered shumai, edamame, hibachi, and a plethora of rolls and not a single one was a miss. I love the private rooms with the traditional sunken Japanese table. They have normal seating as well but I definitely recommend bringing a party and getting one of the rooms! read more

Tako Japanese Restaurant - Chicken and Steak Hibachi - Japanese Near Me - Bensalem, Pennsylvania

See all

Tako was recommended by a few friends for sushi and ambiance, so I decided to take the fam and a friend there for dinner. I had no trouble finding parking in the strip mall lot. The inside is nicely laid out and easy on the eyes. Booths, tables in the middle, sushi bar towards the back and private tatami rooms along the one outer wall. I had called ahead and reserved one of their tatami rooms. It was our first time in a room like that and we really enjoyed it! (NOTE: you have to remove your shoes before entering the tatami room so make sure you wear socks if that bothers you!) The service was friendly and timely. Our waitress took the time to go over their menu which had several pages of sushi options alone. They don't have a kids menu, but they were both able to find something they liked. My oldest had the Chicken Teriyaki that came on a skillet with a bed of steamed veggies and white rice on the side. He devoured it and asked for more rice. He allowed me to have a couple of bites of his chicken. The Teriyaki flavors were popping! Little guy shared a steak and shrimp hibachi with my wife. She asked for medium and it came out well. The flavors of the steak and shrimp were awesome, but the corn rice and veggies had a little bit of an off flavor and texture. Both meals came with soup - one miso which tasted just fine, the other a clear soup that had a delicious full onion flavored broth. I had the Volcano roll - $17 - eight - Shrimp tempura, cucumber w special sweet tuna salad outside and the Phoenix Roll - $18 - eight -mixed combo fish & avocado roll, top with salmon yellowtail & special sauce on top. The Volcano roll wasn't super tight, but I enjoyed the crunchy shrimp tempura and sweet sauce. Good fresh ingredients and flavors in both, Phoenix roll had a welcoming kick in the special sauce. Our friend had a Philly Roll, Shrimp Tempura Roll and a veggie roll ($7-$8 avg.) which she said were all good. We had a great time in the room and will certainly repeat. I'm not a well traveled sushi eater, but the menu at Tako was much more extensive (more fish varieties and combinations) than my usual Asian fusion spots) at a similar price so I'll be returning to try more options. The one thing I would recommend to their owners is a bathroom spruce up or thorough cleaning. The walls looked like an inexperienced painter took care of them and there were dirt marks all over the door. Having said that, it's great to have a fun dining option close to home! Thanks guys!!! read more

Been recommended to come here for sushi and finally decided to get food here. We ordered takeout. We really loved the salmon here. It was delicious and fresh. Literally melts in your mouth. The spicy crab sushi rolls were also really good. Some places tend to mess that up for some reason. And also their ACE roll was also really good. There's other rolls that I do want to try and I'll definitely come back for more salmon sashimi. Ordered takeout and it was ready within 10-15 mins. Restaurant looks very cozy, clean and nicely decorated. I would dine in there if I had the time. I think here and shogun go neck and neck honestly. There's things I like about Tako and I can say the same for shogun. Hard to compare the both but I enjoy both sushi spots. read more

I've been getting sushi from Tako for more than 12 years at this point. It was the first place that I ever tried sushi at, I had my 16th birthday dinner there, and I always try to stop by whenever I'm back in the area. They make my absolute favorite sushi roll in the world - the Birds Nest roll. It is truly a unique roll that I've never seen done anywhere else. Trust me, I've looked! The private rooms are a really fun experience and the service is always so friendly. My only complaint is that it's one of the pricier options for sushi in the area, but I think it's worth it. read more

Love Tako Japanese Restaurant. I've been coming here for at least 20 years. Food is always fresh and delicious! Great selection!

I love Tako and their sushi, their service and their quality. I've always had a great meal here with my family and we go often. We've sat in the rooms and had some amazing family meals and tried many of the dishes and specialty rolls. Incredible value and flavors and a great part of Bensalem. read more

This is my new favorite local spot. They have the best hibachi in the area. They also have private rooms for small parties. Love this place! read more

As we roam around to various sushi spots, we landed at Tako. A little off the beaten path in a strip mall, we found a cozy restaurant that offered several private rooms. There is a huge selection of fancy rolls. I tried the angel which combined tempura shrimp and fried banana. Not the greatest combination. They Aldo had the basic rolls along with lots of non sushi dishes. Service was quick and they regularly checked on us without being obnoxious. Prices were on par with other spots. read more

Round 2! Wow just when you think it can't get any better. We started with the negimaki again and when I was told tonight's special was Toro and Kumamoto oysters, without hesitation I ordered both. Presentation was beautiful and the flavor was the definition of that slaps! I was slapping my leg saying oh wow so delicious! The toro was the best I have had in a very long time. I also ordered the Everything Tuna roll and it was everything I wanted. He ordered the chicken and shrimp hibachi which he devoured. I guarantee you this won't be the last time. read more

I don't eat Sushi often, but when I do it's Tako. The best in Bucks/N.E. Philadelphia in my opinion!

This is the real-deal sushi in a super nondescript, suburban location. Of course, this is graded on a curve. I'm not expecting Manhattan or Los Angeles omakase experiences in Bensalem, PA; however, what you get is fresh fish, pleasant service, surprisingly great rice, and a warm inviting ambiance throughout. I was particularly struck by the fresh toro that I had served sashimi and nigiri style. It was excellent quality, tasty, juicy, with such a rich profile. I enjoyed the plating of my sushi order, and the rice, again, was well cooked. Sticky, slightly seasoned, and served at the proper room temperature. I did not have an opportunity to try their rolls or nori, except for a touch on the ikura, but from what I gleaned is that it was of good quality and had an appropriate snap (i.e., not soggy). The fish eggs were well formed and not those collapsing, desiccated versions that you sometimes find outside sushi centers when they are past their prime. The sunmono salad is always a bright way to start, and I enjoyed it especially the fresh sashimi bits, although I was not crazy about the spiciness they added to it which seemed to take away from the purity. They were out of the hamachi kama when I came too, which was partly a disappointment, however, I respect that they only serve what is fresh and in season/available, and it gives me another reason to return, as if I needed any more. ;) read more

Amazing experience! Food was great, service was incredible, ambiance was lovely. We got a private room with our 2 little kids and it was perfect. Highly recommend for eating in! read more

It's been awhile since I've been dining in here. Nothing much has changed. Still great friendly customer service from this lady, possibly the owner. I came here with my dad and a baby in the carseat, so I asked if I can be seated in one of the rooms. Lady said normally they don't open the rooms during lunch time, but she sees that I have a little baby with me, so she tried to accommodate me so my little one can be in a room instead. read more

tarted with the sunomono, had some seafood soup, octopus sashimi, John junior roll, and red fire roll. Finished it off with a white raspberry truffle. It was a lot of food, but I had not eaten since breakfast, so I over did it a bit. The sunomono was an excellent start. The seafood soup was light but with quality seafood. All of the fish I received was fresh and there was zero fishy taste. Overall it was a great meal. read more

Tako Japanese Restaurant - 2. Maki Combination B - Japanese Near Me - Bensalem, Pennsylvania

Despite the lack of customers inside. This place is really good. The food taste great the inside looks great. From the photos on the walls you can tell that this place is either family owned or been here a long time. Originally I had walked in just looking for a small bite but after looking at what they had I immediately wanted to eat something. I would recommend coming here! The food is a bit hot but that's just means it's super fresh. read more

Always pretty good. A little pricey. But good fresh food. VERY good sushi & fast delivery or pickup

This place is as good as anything in the city. Sushi is fresh and delicious. Hibachi is great. Nothing is over done or over sauced. Crunchy spicy tuna roll and wasabi roll are my favorite. Nice friendly service and BYOB. Give it a try. read more

No any complimentary starters.....a price is higher than anywhere....a portions are smaller than anywhere. The staff are good read more

Was in town for business and I found Tako on yelp. I am always looking for a good sushi place. When I arrived, it was pretty empty, probably because of the weather. I sat at the sushi bar because it's always nice to observe and banter with the sushi chefs. I ordered the gyoza to start and then ordered a rainbow roll and eel roll for my main. Overall the food was ok. read more

Tako Japanese Restaurant - Everything tuna, sweetheart, spicy salmon avo roll - Japanese Near Me - Bensalem, Pennsylvania

My family and I really enjoy this place. The first time we came the food was delicious and i saw they have private's dining room where you sit on the floor like in Japan. So this time i book the room and it was a nice experience. They have a cut out under the table for people who can't sit indian style for too long so you can stretch the legs out. The food was very tasty. We order a lot of different sushi and sashimi. It was fresh and clean. There sashimi was clean; no fishy smell or taste. Everything was reasonable price. Will come back so read more

Tako is pretty good. I recommend their bento boxes because you get an entree plus sushi, soup, and gyoza. The food is classic Americanized Japanese food, and it's kind of pricey, but I think the bento boxes are affordable and tasty. read more

The sushi à la cart has gotten much smaller and I am not happy with that. I usually get the sushi à la cart and for six dollars for two pieces. They are now half the size. Definitely not worth it anymore. And I think the price went up because the menu looks altered in the price list. read more

Went on a week day, great service, BYBO. Sushi is ok, yellow tail jalapeños was great! Overall, wish it could be more authentic, not just another American sushi place. read more

I would go back here over and over. We only had sushi rolls, sashimi, miso soup and salad. The miso soup was richly flavored. Sashimi was fresh, well cut and delicious. They had a huge range of classic and unique rolls. We tried 5 different kinds and they were all great. I wish I took a picture of the Christmas tree roll because it was visually stunning. I loved the Godzilla roll! The restaurant itself is really cute and the service was prolly and courteous. read more

Fish did not taste fresh, very disappointed. Rolls didn't seem the same and more expensive than other places I've tried.

Stumbled upon this place by accident. Not only was the food amazing but the service was absolutely delightful. The waitresses were so sweet and conversational. The ambiance of the restaurant was homey and personable. Definitely worth a try! read more

Ive been to alot of japanese places of recent. I came here for birthday with my parents, who very much enjoyed their meal. Everything was professional.

No Liquor License; too expensive in PA. BYOB is common around here in small restaurants. Recommended by my hotel. Surprisingly good for strip mall sashimi so far from the ocean. The sashimi deluxe dinner comes with soup, salad and rice. Fish was very fresh and flavorful, served with soup, ginger dressing salad and rice. Service was fast and accurate, if not overly warm and friendly. Tempura ice cream dessert was good, but I'd try the tempura banana next time. I'll be back, with a bottle of Ozeki dry. Edit: Went here a second night. If you want some good cold sake with your dinner, phone the Fine Wine & Good Spirits liquor store two buildings over from Tako and have them put a bottle of TyKu black or Gekkeikan Gold in their white wine fridge so it's cold when you get there. http://www.finewineandgoodspirits.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/FindStoreView?storeId=10051&langId=-1&catalogId=10051&pageNum=1&listSize=15&category=&city=bensalem&zip_code=&county=All+Stores&storeNO= read more
