The sushi was so good and fresh! I sat at the bar and watched all the chefs cut the fish right in front of me! We got a ton of different bites and enjoyed each one. The staff are helpful if you don't know what kind of raw fish to try next and they are quite attentive. Great place for a date or group dinner this place has fancy vibe while not absolutely destroying your bank for fresh fish!! read more

Exceptional food. Service was attentive, friendly and I appreciated the suggestions to influence our decisions to please the palate. We adored our seats by the window as we longed for warmer spring weather. I will be back this summer for what appeared to be patio seating. Beverly is lucky to have you. Truly impressed. read more

Where to start.... called ahead and was put on the call ahead list? Told 30 minutes. Ok Walked in the door 30 minutes later. Was told twenty more minutes. Twenty minutes later told 10 more minutes. Any ways an hour and 15 minutes later we had a table. Ambience. 2-3 stars. Vinyl wood flooring on the walls is just cheesy and cheap looking. Same exact floor plan Topp Salad had when they were in the space. Food wise. 2 stars it was mid to low level sushi. Lacked flavor and the rolls were undersized and underwhelming. It was just bland. Service, our waitress was fairly attentive 3 stars. Poor management with zero damage control. Knowing we had been waiting an hour and fifteen and not the 30 we were quoted was bad form. You had the opportunity to address that and did nothing. Manager/host- ZERO stars EDIT THREE stars Jinyou the Manager replied. I appreciate the effort and acknowledgment of the issue. read more

What a fantastic little restaurant! It's a tradition for me to take my husband to sushi for his birthday and I'm so glad to have chosen Taku Sushi Bar for the occasion. They don't require reservations so we arrived at 8pm on a Thursday night. There was street parking right out front and you don't have to pay after 8pm so that worked out really well. We walked in and were greeted immediately. There were maybe 8 other people dining at the time. Our drink orders were taken and we set to browsing the menu. We decided to order the Shrimp Explosion and Fried Octopus Balls to start. The shrimp appie was SO GOOD! We settled on the White Tiger and I think it was called Crispy Mango Tuna roll? I can't remember but they were both delicious. Service was great, albeit our server was a bit too quick to run off - she took my drink order and left before my husband could even open his mouth LOL but it all worked out in the end. The food arrived quickly and everything was wonderful. I will absolutely return to try more options! read more

Nice small restaurant with good choices of sushi and the ramen bowls are huge! I got the spicy seafood and my husband got the non spicy seafood he stated it didn't have much flavor. Both were loaded though with veggies and seafood . The what she haven drink didn't have much alcohol but was tasty and my husband old fashioned was smoked and very yummy!.... the sushi we ate was so tasty ( just do not remember the names of them).. read more

I went to the Taku Sushi Bar on 4/29/25.... because I just really wanted to take myself out for dinner. My parents were away and I just wanted to get out. I had been wanting to visit the Taku Sushi Bar since I had read reviews about it earlier in the year and I was NOT DISAPPOINTED AT ALL!!! The owner, Gerry, was working at the sushi station and I got to meet him and speak with him after my dinner was finished. He's really nice and it's obvious that he loves what he does. I had three things for dinner - the tempura appetizer ($12.00), the Tempura shrimp roll ($9.00), and the crispy tuna roll ($17.00). They were AMAZING. Gerry and his staff go to a great deal of effort and it shows in their food... and in the fact that a lot of people stopped to speak with Gerry and to thank him for the meals that they had. My server - Jasmine K. - was great. She's very nice and she's an excellent server. She knows the food and she seems to genuinely care about good service. YOU WILL LOVE THIS RESTAURANT. If you want to support a local business and see someone be successful in doing what he loves to do.... give Gerry and his people your business. read more

My husband and I ate here last night (Saturday) and arrived around 6:30 and luckily there were two vacant stools at the bar. The place was hopping! Colby, the bartender was warm and friendly and made me their special sake ginger margarita garnished with a fresh mint leaf. Michael drank an IPA but it was in a can because they do not have beer on tap. Colby did pour it into a chilled glass though so that good. We ordered the soft shell crab roll, baked oysters over slaw, unagi roll and some special salmon roll. All were delicious. I also had a cup of miso soup which was yummy. The music overhead was awesome. A nice medley of classics; Carly Simon, Elton John, Eric Clapton and The Eagles! We will definitely be back. read more

I've had the same bartender/server for two times now and she is incredible! My bf doesn't like sushi so he got the chicken teriyaki lunch portion and it was huge. Delicious! I got the salmon and fatty tuna nigiri as well as the uni special hand roll with caviar. Something new for me and all were high quality and incredible in taste. My favorite drink is a seasonal special the love potion margarita. Great environment and vibes all around! read more

Probably my favorite restaurant in the area. Always wonderful service and great food. Very well done food and drink specials. Can get busy, so would recommend making a reservation before coming. read more

Delicious food and really good quality fish!! I absolutely loved the sushi - the torched salmon toro nigiri was EXCELLENT and I ordered another pair after the first one. My toro truffle maki was a little overwhelming (not as much flavor as anticipated). I would definitely come back here and order more nigiri! I would say the nigiri is a little small - the rice portion is quite tiny. Service was excellent read more

Friday evening, we checked out Taku at its new location, just up the street from the old. Compared to the first location, this space is brighter with some lovely, elegant, clean, and modern touches. The bar seats many more customers, and the chairs are very comfy. There is more dining room space as well. We were there fairly early in the evening, and by the time we finished, folks were waiting for seating! I am so happy for Taku and the success they are having! The sushi was great, as usual, and the service was spectacular! read more

I got food poisoning after eating this chirashi bowl. Sashimi aren't fresh. Miso soup was way too salty. Sushi rice in the chirashi bowl had a weird smell too. read more

The new Taku! Who knew it could be even better than its first location on Rantoul! Bigger and somehow so much better!! The ginger old fashioned was perfection in my mouth. Could have been a bit more appealing to the eye. Hence no photo. The flavor though was something I'll dream about. The tuna tataki was the best I've had in a long time. The smoked hamachi was visually theatre and so tasty. The sushi I had melted. No teeth required. Thank you Taku for an incredible food experience. Congrats!! read more

I had never heard of this place, but a friend recommended it and said it was good, so I paid it a visit since I'm always up for finding new excellent sushi restaurants, which are very tough to find in Metro Boston. To my surprise, he was right, the sushi here is excellent, some of the best I have had north of Boston since Sushi Island / original Junji closed and a much wider range of options than most suburban sushi restaurants and significantly higher quality. Food came out quickly. I have two complaints which I consider minor given how good my food was (and waitress service was great too): When I order nigiri, I don't want it dressed with some type of garnish/sauce/topping. While the sauce wasn't terrible, it was completely unnecessary and took away from the flavor I wanted to taste. I am sure people like these garnishes (scallion is ok), but it should have been advertised so I could have asked for it to be removed (note to self for next time). Two - Beverly thinks they are downtown Boston or Cambridge and requires you to pay a meter kiosk to park until 8pm. This is completely unnecessary and anti-business. This is obviously not the fault of the restaurant. On the TV they seem to show Bob Ross non-stop which is kind of funny. read more

Simply phenomenal sushi. We have been here so many times and it's consistently excellent. Try the maki covered with toro -- the jalapeño and ginger sauce and seared fish are such a fabulous combination. The owner is kind and so are the servers. You can't go wrong! read more

Fresh original interesting maki. My new fav sushi restaurant. Hand rolls are delicious. Reservations suggested.

Food is amazing. Service very nice. TRY the avocado truffle oil nigiri. Outstanding!

Taku is my favorite sushi spot in the North Shore. The team is super nice, and the fish is always fresh. They have done so well. It looks like they are moving to a bigger space. I can't wait to visit the new spot. Highly recommend coming in. Their specials are first come, first serve. read more

If you really love sushi then this place is a must. The food is stunning in appearance and delicious. Service was on point. Plenty of room however the place fills up fast. Shame there is no picture to share. read more

How this place has 4.7 stars is beyond me. As an avid sushi eater, this is by far the worst sushi I have ever had at an extreme price. They mask the fishy flavor with overpowering sauces and toppings to hide the poor quality. Complained to our server as we ate less than 5 out of our 30 pieces of sushi and her response was "oh ok!" Servers also have face piercings and head sushi maker makes the sushi bare handed (no gloves) which are both extremely unappetizing. Not worth your time or money. read more

The best sushi in the greater Boston area! It beats all of the high end spots in the city.

Chef Jerry puts everything he has into each dish. This restaurant isn't just a job for him - it's clearly his passion. While Taku is on the delivery apps, we have never ordered takeout before. So much of the magic is being there in person and witnessing the art and beauty that's in each dish you order. Every roll you order is a unique work of art, and you're not going to find better sushi on the North Shore. Each piece of fish is so fresh, and it's clear that Jerry will not compromise on quality. In my 10 years on the North Shore, I've yet to see any sushi place compete with Taku in any way. Prices are also extremely reasonable - especially taking the exceptional quality into account. The new space is also amazing - while the old location was a dim and cozy atmosphere, this is a more bright and lively location that I think allows the restaurant to really grow into itself (while still somehow maintaining a bit of the coziness that we loved at the old location). Huge perk of the new spot is the full bar! We renamed our dinner-out budget line to "Jerry" - if we have the ability to go out to dinner, 99% of the time we're going to Taku. Cannot recommend Taku enough! read more

Best sushi in the area. Super fresh seafood and interesting flavor combinations. Wonderful service. Always a great time

I came here for lunch with my husband. I ordered 2 special rolls some apps and a drink. One of the rolls wasn't what I expected and it turns out I (unsurprisingly) read the menu wrong. Everything else was phenomenal! Incredible quality and flavor! I did not ask nor did I expect for that item to be taken off the bill yet they did anyway. THAT is how you run a business and get repeat customers. Well done Taku! We'll be back and I have no doubt you'll continue to be very successful. Until next time! :-) read more

Came here on a Wednesday night and it was decently packed, we had to wait a little for a table but not too long. The inside has a nice atmosphere, smaller than I thought but still cute. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive, although he seemed in a rush because it seemed like he was one of maybe two waiters there. There was a decent crowd and they had a lot of bussers and less waiters which was strange to me. For appetizers I got a miso soup and it was very good. I have had better at another sushi restaurant though, this one was very salty. The house salad was good, dressing was very sweet if thats what you like. Personally I'm not a fan. The tekka maki was amazing, the tuna was so good and the color was beautiful. The avocado rolls were also delicious and so fresh. The rainbow roll with only tuna was really good and I'm picky about my sushi but this place did awesome. We also got the chicken katsu which was amazing. The fried veggies were so good.. as well as the sauce on the chicken it was to die for. The poke bowl was very fresh and the veggies were super good. The chef got to choose the fish and they used all salmon. Which is fine but the person who ordered it probably should have just said they preferred tuna, which isn't the chefs fault. Food was super good and I would definitely come back to try more of their maki. Also even though they were pretty full the food still came out fast. read more

Ordered takeout from here and I am very impressed. The quality of the sushi was very fresh! Which includes the rice which I find some places lack! We ordered spicy salmon Spicy tuna Spicy scallop And Snow crab I loved all of them and would order them all again, Except the snow crab. It was a very small amount of the real snow crab and it also had imitation crab in it which I felt was wrong considering it did not mention that in the description and what you're ask for / paying for is the "real crab" listed on the menu I also hate imitation crab/ California roll - so that was the only disappointing aspect of my meal The person who answered the phone with my questions was super friendly and willing to answer my questions before placing my order. And I really appreciate that. It seems sometimes now a days people treat you like a burden! read more

Some of the best sushi I have had in my life! The specials are to die for; have trying the California Uni I have never had fresher seafood. The service was impeccable as the waitress explained the menu, the process and the history of the restaurant. The Manager came over and even talked to me about the sushi specials, and some of the dishes I tried. The sushi bar has a beatiful ambiance and cozy vibes, with the sushi chefs right at the bar and the fast service. 5/5 Stars: I would highly recommend if your a fan of sushi and great food!! read more

My friend and I had dinner at Taku for the first time today. We were treated with respect and curtesy, throughout our time there. There was a mishap with one of our dishes and when we pointed it out, the dish was taken off the bill and we were given a couple of items for free. We had a excellent server! Other than the dish mentioned, we had a wonderful meal from beginning to end. The people who made our food were creative and everything was well presented and tasted great. The restaurant is light and airy and the layout, furniture and lighting are contemporary and the seating is comfortable. We will be back! read more

was a total 5 star in the old spot. too bright. feels like youre in target. please dim the lighting and get the ambiance back. please????? it really has a different feel that isn't very good. food was still great. ambiance is no bueno.. read more

Made reservation for 3 for a birthday celebration for my husband. The host wouldn't sit us at a booth because "those are for parties of 4" (mind you 4 of the 6 were empty) and offered a table for 2 with chair sticking in aisle that was so small we couldn't have eaten (table was maybe 2 ft x 2 ft). To boot, they had just seated a party of 2 at a booth. The host was super rude. What a rotten experience. We left. read more

Unfortunately we did not have a great experience here. We had tried to go on a couple of occasions but always too crowded. Went on a whim around 8:00 on a week night and was able to get a table. I had one of the specials which was really good but my husband's food was off. He said the miso soup tasted like dishwater and half his sushi had white rice while we requested brown rice. The hand roll has a tablespoon size dollop of wasabi inside (!) making it inedible. Lastly, staff started sweeping and closing up around us despite not quite being closing time. As a bi-racial couple we are always suspicious of behavior like this. read more
