Takosushi was my first restaurant experience in Augusta. Not sure how representative of Augusta it is, but it's nice to know there's a hopping Asian-Mexican fusion place in the area. The menu didn't seems so much like fusion items as it was sushi and Mexican items listed together. The place was surprisingly crowded for a rainy Tues night. It was loud too, so in a group of 6 people, we had to shout and repeat a lot. The service/price/food were all ok. Nothing nearly as catchy as the name of the place. read more

The southwest tuna tartare is delicious and well balance. The portion size is worth the price. It's my new favorite appetizer! read more

Do not recommend at all. Not sure if they changed their practices or not but when I was there a few years ago, some fish were put in metal kitchen containers. I remember the tuna was soggy since the metal containers were sitting on top of ice instead of in the sushi showcase. I complained to the head chef at the time because that was unhealthy and unsanitary. He said not to worry about it... Look the other way. Also, they didn't pay me for working 2 days. read more

Had it a couple times because sadly the sushi scene in Augusta, is not great. Recently the salmon on my super crunchy roll was borderline cooked, ew. Honestly, overpriced for the area and quality, but I guess augustans don't know any better. read more

--Absolutely LOVED it. My first time was a great experience and I can't wait to go back again. The atmosphere was welcoming for the most part but the spot was a lot smaller then I had imaged so if course there was a slight wait. About 25 min for 3 people on a Friday night. Not bad. We wanted to sit inside so the greeter took my name and said she would call us when ready. After sitting in the car for 15 min we walked back up so we wouldn't miss our name and ended up waiting around outside. As soon as we sat down, OUTSIDE, they gave us menus. I was kind of irritated about that but I was still excited to try the food. The waiter was friendly but did not give us refills until we were about done eating and as it started to drizzle outside no one came to offer us an inside spot. Another turn off. All in all, the food was amazing and I will be coming back! read more

I would actually rate this restaurant a 2.5 instead of a 2. They have a decent selection of rolls....all good portions and flavorful. But I question the success of their "asian-mexican fusion" when it seems they only got half of their fusion right. My boyfriend and I also ordered flank steak fajitas and they were disgusting. The steak had no flavor and was SOOO tough and chewy that we couldn't eat it. It was also over-cooked when we asked for medium rare. The beans and rice also were very bland. It seemed to me that only their apps had some kind of fusion of cuisines...other than that, all the main entrees were either one or the other. I wouldn't call having 2 different kinds of cuisines available at your restaurant a fusion.... read more

This is one of my favorite date night spots! Its a small place but they have indoor and outdoor seating. The service is always speedy. I love: queso dip with chorizo, dynamite roll, fire cracker roll, shrimp tempura roll, the list is endless. I've never tried any of their southwestern entrees because I've always been lured in by their vast sushi menu.. Its the one place in Augusta that has good sushi! Can't wait to go back. read more

Takosushi has been on my bucket list for years. It just always seems when we come to Augusta that we have other events going on. After being at the National all day, we drove over to Takosushi for a quick late lunch before heading back to the ATL. It took awhile to decide on mexican vs. sushi, but I settled on mexican since it had just turned rainy and cold. I really wanted to order an a la carte taco or enchilada, or even get 2 different enchiladas, but was turned down. Huge bummer, as I wasn't that hungry and I knew I wouldn't take home leftovers, and I hate ordering more food than you really need. I got green chile pork enchiladas and they were just meh. I really took issue with the lack of flavor (described as "incredibly spicy" by our waitress) and how bone dry they were. It just really turned me off and I didn't come close to finishing my food, which at almost $16/plate was ridiculous. The folks that got sushi seemed to enjoy it, and for that reason alone, I will leave this at 2 stars. The service here just seemed off too. I didn't feel welcomed - I felt more like a burden on the waitress. I overheard staff yelling at one another, and that's never good to see as a patron. It just started off the whole experience poorly. I also inferred that there were no a la carte options so that you had to pay at your yingyang for a massive plate of food. It just didn't seem customer oriented at all. Bummer. read more

HORRIBLE FOOD! RUDE MANAGER! This place was once the best place for sushi! I use to always get the crazy Susan , Jessie's roll & the beef brisket nachos. Last night was our first night eating here in several months. We ordered take out. I ordered the crazy Susan, Jessie's roll, pyramid roll, & the brisket nachos. I was livid when my husband brought home the take out! The Jessie's roll was stale & rotten fish. I could not even eat a single piece. The crazy Susan roll was over battered & over fried. It tasted more like fair food... NOT sushi! The pyramid roll was not what the website described. I got some garlic smelly disgusting asparagus crap instead. It was too late for them to remake anything so the manager said to come back the next day. My husband brought home two crazy Susan's this time & one brisket nacho. We both started laughing. The rolls were over battered , over fried & falling apart in the box. I kid you not , the rolls were hard as rocks. The brisket was NOT what we have ordered the past 10 times we have ordered it before. It had orange pieces of mush in it, big chunks of very spicy chili stuff & red chunks in it. We called up there & the manager was rude and argued with us... Said that's how it comes, some nights it's different. Ummm ok? Some nights it's made differently? I've never heard of that one before.... I guess they need to specify that on their menu! Sigh.. We ended up giving our food to the dog. This makes two nights in a row that I have went to bed hungry. I will never ever step foot in this location again! read more

Once you move past the fusion of Mexican/Japanese, you'll discover some well-prepared, good tasting menu items. The fish tacos were pretty fantastic. read more

Takosushi was the choice for a Tuesday evening dinner with two of my close friends. I arrived a couple minutes before my friends and after a warm welcome from the hostess, I went ahead and requested a table for 3. The restaurant itself is not very big but luckily a table of 4 had just left and the hostess began preparing that table for us. We were seated and our server Meredith came over right away. She brought us waters and answered our many questions about the drink menu, giving her perspective on the martinis we asked about. After several minutes of indecisiveness, we each ordered a martini - one was the cucumber-based martini, another was (I think it's called) the Miki Tini, and I got the key lime-based martini. I wish I could remember the exact names of each because they were all very different from each other but delicious in their own way. Mine was like key lime pie in a glass without being overly sweet or overly sour... YUM! We also started with a bowl of the green chili queso dip while we poured over the multiple pages of sushi rolls. The generous serving of warm queso came with plenty of chips and a side of salsa. I ordered a volcano roll while both of my friends got the crazy roll. In the few we waited, we continued to nosh on the queso, Meredith checked to make sure we were good and also filled our waters. The sushi came out fairly quickly and I could tell it was very fresh fish. The volcano roll was perfection - Tuna tartare, cucumber, fresh tuna, avocado, takosushi sauce & teriyaki glaze. I did trade a piece of my volcano roll to my friend to be able to try the crazy roll. The Crazy Roll (Shrimp tempura & cucumber, topped w/ fresh shrimp, crab, avocado, teriyaki glaze & takosushi sauce) was the perfection combination of crunchy and savory. We chatted for awhile as we enjoyed our meal. Despite how busy they were, we never felt rushed or ignored during the meal. It was very nice that Meredith was able to split the queso three ways so that we each had our own check. In addition to the sushi, she was definitely a highlight. read more

Takosushi - Small dining room with sushi bar - Japanese Near Me - Augusta, Georgia

My wife and I met each other here for lunch. We split the smoked salmon and goat cheese quesadilla. I'm not much of a fan for sushi but loved this blend of mexican and sushi. We started with a cup of the edamamae and love those things. The blends of cheese and the salmon fused nicely and I ate all of my half. Staff was very attentive. Wish they would place nutritional information on the menu (calories, etc.). Service was very quick, the place filled fast and we were one of the first ones in for lunch. Our server offered us a takeout menu!!! Ideas for those days after work. Will definitely return to sample more of the menu read more

For some reason I hadn't heard about this place. It's in a nice area but it's quite a small restaurant. We didn't have to wait long for a table because it was just the two of us. Plus the tent as still out in the front post masters week. I would say there are about 10-15 tables for two, which can of course be combined. There's also a sushi bar with seating. The concept of the restaurant is weird for me. I assumed it would be a fusion of sushi and Mexican food. Nope. There's some sushi (actually a good variety) and then some Mexican food. There's also oysters. I don't know what's going on with all this. Anyways, the food- I had a pretty basic roll (Japanese bagel- which was just like a philly roll). It was pretty good, nothing amazing. The hubby got the taco burger which he really enjoyed. It looked quite large to me and he was stuffed when he finished it. All in all, it's a decent restaurant. I guess it's great if a group of people craving Mexican and sushi.. read more

Small but mighty! Had some great tuna! The bento box is the best way to taste everything. Conch wasn't as fresh the day we went. Service was fast and when slow sometimes you'll get a complementary taste via the sushi chef. read more

Get the sexy salad. That's all you need to know. Super crowded most of the time but turnaround is fast and worth the wait. Today we got Volcano Roll, Stoney and Tomahawk. Volcano and tomahawk rolls were awesome but Stoney was meh...spicy but bland otherwise. Love this place...been here about a dozen times and it is always great. read more

Hmmmm. This place was a total letdown. The service was ok at best, the place was tiny, seating was uncomfortable, the sushi was pitiful in size and the selection was not impressive. Wont go back. Would totally drive to Aiken for Kobe on pine log rd!! read more

Always delicious. I always make a stop here when I'm i. Augusta! Great sushi and appetizers

My husband and I just moved to GA about a month ago, we eat out for many meals as we continue to wait for our belongings to arrive. We are very disappointed with the lack of good food in this area, but we are so lucky to have found Takosushi within days of arriving. I would say that we eat here close to twice a week (extreme, I know!) My husband loves their salads and claims their shrimp are the best he has ever had! I love the triple tango roll... pretty much all their sushi is great! The Wasabi Vinaigrette is bomb- on a salad or roll, and the chips and queso are killer. We haven't had much from their South West menu, but looking around at other tables while we eat, both East and West options seem equally enjoyed. The service has always been great; Sydney is a sushi master with great customer service, and the buff Asian guy (I don't know his name) is on it! Takosushi also offers a military discount, which is pretty much the icing on the cake. We personally think the atmosphere, service, sound track, and quality of food are better at the Augusta location, and it would be nice to have one closer to Ft. Gordon. read more

Takosushi - The Pajama Roll is one of the best on the menu! - Japanese Near Me - Augusta, Georgia

Pretty good for my first visit. There was no wait, our waiter was ok. He wasn't pleasant..but wasn't overtly rude. I am another lover of the tempura asparagus. The takko sauce is very good as well. I got the crazy susan... flash fried version of the crazy roll. I thought it was good. I have had better sushi though...I would go back as I loved the atmosphere. read more

My first time going to this place was today, I ordered one sushi roll and it took 35 minutes to come out. There were a total of three tables occupied. My sister got her food out after 35 minutes but mine came out wrong. The waitress proceeds to tell me that I'll have to wait for another. The food never came out.. she apologized about 10 more times. I told her to just take the order off of my bill. The manager never came out to apologize. She passed our table about three or four times. Very dissatisfied I would not recommend. read more

Went to the location at Surey Center. GREAT choice of sushi, very reasonable prices. I highly recommend the fatboy roll & triple tango rolls. If u go with another person u should do the Sushi and Sashimi platter for two. GREAT SASHIMI and u get to add two other rolls on top of that. All for only 39.99! Appetizers... edemami was below average (but maybe u'll have a better experience than I will). Dumplings were good (but all dumplings are good) They had a special Tempura Fried Egg Plant which was AWESOME. oh i'm chinese, and i'm eating japanese food. weird. dunno about the mexican food, read the other reviews for it. read more

Same quality food and service. It gets crowded in this little restaurant so you better show up early or way late. Never fails. Kevin's crazy roll is always a hit. Just can't stand that the staff is constantly hovering over our table to get every empty plate, glass, fork, paper wrapper off of it. Drives me insane. When we are DONE YOU can take our plates. read more

Headed to Abel Browns but I saw TakoSushi which was also on my list. Stopped in and enjoyed some "cooked" Sushi. Very good for folks who can't stomach raw fish. read more

The place is ok. I always feel like something is lacking but it's definitely good enough for repeat visits. The sushi is good but slightly overpriced IMO. Ordered the smoked salmon and goat cheese quesadilla tonight for the first time. it was really salty. The sour cream tones it down a bit but there wasn't enough of it for the whole thing. Also, $15 for a quesadilla, shredded lettuce and a dollop of sour cream is a pretty penny. Will not order again. read more

Takosushi has great food but their customer service has slowly been declining (we eat their often). Tonight, I ordered takeout and the bartender got the order wrong. We didn't realize the mistake because of how they packaged the rolls, but when we did, we had to drive all the way back to get the missing items. Even though it was their error, they charged us for the food they didn't ring up and refused to make it right. With the many amazing restaurants in Augusta, take your dollars somewhere else with great service as well as delicious food. read more

I usually don't write bad reviews, but I wanted to make a point about how over-rated this place is. I have no idea why Augusta people rave about it. I've been there twice, have been severely disappointed by both cuisines they serve. I even got sick after eating there the first time. Interesting name, terrible idea and execution. Save your money and go anywhere else! There are several decent sushi and Mexican places around town. read more

They have recently raised their prices and somewhat lowered their quality. The new menu seems to be smaller but the prices are definitely higher. The food isn't good enough to charge or pay the rates they are currently. The chips that came with the queso and salsa tasted stale. Two fish tacos for $14.00?! Plus the wait staff are overall confused and never seem to know who has what table and when. The service has been mediocre at best and non existent at worse. Expect an empty water glass as the wait staff socialize near the crowded front door. The sushi roles are now very pricey. With their prices increasing and the food not being as good as it once was, plus the service is terrible, I will no longer eat here. read more

First time here tonight, had to wait a bit for a table which is fine but there isn't a waiting area...so its kinda awkward just standing in the middle of the restaurant. I had the enchilada which was pretty dang good. I also had a gin & tonic, and then a captain & coke, both were okay. Next time i'll try some sushi. Fun place to have dinner. Good lighting, decorations, and ambiance. read more

Abysmal sushi and weird, fake Mexican food. The bizarre combination seems only to exist to support the taco/tako pun in their name. They don't do either cuisine well, and they're far and away the one of the worst in the "fusion" genre. If you want Mexican, go to a Mexican place. If you want sushi, goo to a sushi place. This is the worst of both worlds. read more

Very Americanized sushi and other kind of gimmicky food being served in their attempt at being trendy. Overall some good items but also some letdowns. read more

Good drinks, very good asparagus tempura, but the burger is good but not great. The service is attentive but not very friendly.

It's been a while since I've been back to Augusta and I'm happy to see that the last rating for this place is in May. That's great news. This is a great place. Not one to spend money on sushi (I just never get full from them unless I clean out my purse), I must admit it is good and beautifully presented on a wooden block. But the genius of the place is in the mix of Mexican and Japanese foods. I loved everything we ordered, the 3 times I had been there, one week after another. The space is small, but you don't feel jam packed with the other diners. And the decor is so cheery. Keep it up, Takosushi. read more

After searching for an apartment one day and in absolute dread of the long, tedious drive home, my mother and I stopped by Takosushi for a quick lunch. The restaurant is a small but cute, and I was really excited about trying the place. We ordered the shrimp shumai as our appetizer. It was good, but I think I've been spoiled by the shumai I get at dim sum on Buford HIghway in Atlanta. This version didn't stack up. For my entree, I got the Triple Tango roll, with shrimp, crab, and avocado inside and topped with seared tuna, white tuna, and salmon. It honestly was that great, but I'm giving this place 3 stars instead of 2 because my mother really raved about her dish. She ordered off the southwestern side of the menu. I know she got a quesadilla, but I don't remember anything else about her meal. I was absolutely starving and just glad to get something to eat! read more

So we've been to this place several times and one of the things we like best is that my spouse doesn't like sushi so there are options for both of us. The sushi is good, not great but very good, as we do keep returning. I like their happy hour even though it never changes so zero variety on what's offered. The one thing we love is the fried asparagus, its incredible and worth getting every time. I had their corn soup once and it was great. I'm not a fan at all of the dumpling wontons the chicken is mushy and seams fake. My spouse has said that their burger is one of the best ever! So overall I really like this local place, good for having and enjoyable lunch. read more

I love when I go to a place highly recommended and I experience an even better experience than anticipated! I had a hard time picking out which direction I wanted to go in, but decided on the stuffed jalapeño starter and yellowtail special for dinner. It was phenomenal, and I love their Samurai drink that combos sake and vodka in a refreshing lime/cucumber concoction. Highly recommend!!! read more

Takosushi - This place is a small hole in the wall with amazing attention to detail! - Japanese Near Me - Augusta, Georgia

Bad, overpriced sushi + garbage Mexican food = a bad restaurant. Poor service, too. Long waits and poor take out. It's atmosphere is decent, but a bit cramped. Why it gets any good reviews is absolutely beyond me. It's just one of those places where you ask yourself, "should I really eat raw fish here?" read more

I wasn't sure if I would be able to find good sushi here after moving from Atlanta, but I really like this place. Overall the food is delicious, the staff is nice, expect for one isolated incident with a young college waiter who seemed pissed that he was working. Definitely worth checking out. read more
