This place has the most authentic Sushi you're going to find in Decatur if not atlanta. The chef put something together for us it was amazing I travel a lot for business all over the country and the service and the food was incredible. If you don't see something on the menu you like just ask the chef and you will make it something to your liking. If you have not tried this place you're missing out. read more

This is the cutest spot! Very unassuming and I've walked past it a few times- don't do that! Go inside and experience some of the best sushi! It's nice to find places outside of the city for some great sushi. Tucked inside this spot in Decatur is a true gem. The fish is flown in and served fresh! The staff is attentive, kind and knowledgeable. They offer some great specialty fish as well and their hot food is great too. In the area for lunch- they have great specials listed. I can't wait to visit again. We'll def be back for a visit. read more

Small, quiet restaurant with good food - service was quick, try the spicy tuna crispy rice and the mint green tea were my favorites. It's def a place you come to eat and move on, not a hangout spot. read more

I made reservations for the family on the website after reading the recommendations. We came to celebrate my son's academic success and my son loves good Japanese food, especially sushi. Saturday evening, the parking was full behind the restaurant so I dropped off the family and parked at my gym a block down the street. We started with the bang bang shrimp and pork gyoza appetizers which were tasty. The kids had miso soup which was stronger than they are used to. My husband ordered the mixed tempura and the picante roll. I ordered the toro box roll which the whole family enjoyed. Son ordered the salmon which takes 25 minutes to prepare but was worth the wait. Daughter ordered the tempura ramen and liked how they gave her a pot of dried peppers to add to the ramen. Food was outstanding and I think five different staff members came by to check on us. The low sodium soy sauce is in the small shirt container and the regular soy sauce is in the taller container. The plates were pretty and the wooden utensils was unique. I love how the fish is flown in from Japan weekly. And I noticed the health inspection score is now an A, 92. We were in and out within an hour which I thought was extremely prompt. All the food was delicious and I would recommend highly! read more

Finally tried out Takumi, and I was so impressed. I feel like this is definitely a hidden gem. The owners welcomed us in to order, and they have a great menu. We tried out some rolls and the fried rice, and it was all so good. The hot-ta-te roll was really tasty and definitely a unique roll I haven't seen before; the flavors all worked well together. Also got chicken karage as a starter, and it was a pretty good-sized portion and had a nice taste. I definitely suggest this place out. We got takeout, and it was really good, but I think it is also a great spot for a special-occasion dinner. read more

Delicious food and great service. We celebrated Father's Day a little late and decided to come here for dinner. We were a party of 8 and I could definitely see this place getting packed on the weekends (it's not a very big restaurant) so I would recommend making a reservation. We ordered a bunch of dishes to share with as starters - addictive cabbage, takoyaki, bang bang shrimp and gyoza. My faves here are the cabbage (truly addictive, lol) and the takoyaki (it was soft and gooey inside with big pieces of octopus). My husband and I shared the crunchy roll and I ordered the nabeyaki udon. The crunchy roll was delicious, but my favorite was the udon. It was served with a separate basket of veggie and shrimp tempura. I just love, love their presentation here! read more

4 Stars for delicious food in a great location near the Main Street in Decatur. I recently came to Takumi with a few coworkers and enjoyed a meal by the front window. I ordered the Chirashi don as my main and we got the addictive cabbage to share. The cabbage is aptly named because it is a tangy and savory snack that we devoured quickly. I tasted a lot of toasted sesame oil in the sauce, which we thoroughly enjoyed. The chirashi don was beautifully presented and included what tasted like very fresh cuts of tuna, salmon, etc. it was just what I was hoping for! Our server seemed pretty new and was very friendly. The only drawback was that the dishes took a long time to get, and one of the gals at the table got her main dish 10+ minutes after the rest of us, so we were done or almost done eating when she got her more elaborate lobster dish. The server also didn't come back to us for a long while, so I had to go to the bar area to ask her to bring the check. Not a huge deal, but considering we were one of only two parties in the restaurant, I probably would let them know ahead of time if you're in a rush. Overall, a really tasty meal that left us all satisfied and full! read more

The food was okay, and I really love the look of the place. It's a nice, small restaurant that is ideal for intimate gatherings. However, this past Friday, I experienced the worst service I've ever had there. The young lady who approached our table didn't greet us or introduce herself. She simply asked what we wanted. At first, I didn't think much of it. We ordered an appetizer and two sushi rolls. Shortly after, a larger group came in to celebrate a birthday. They appeared to be of a different ethnicity, and I noticed a significant difference in how they were treated. They were warmly greeted, informed of the specials, and received much more attentive service. After receiving our sushi rolls, we asked for some sauce on the side. We waited, but it never arrived. I asked again as our server walked past our table several times, but we still never received it. Rather than let the experience ruin our day, we decided to ask for the check. Ironically, it arrived within 10 seconds. We paid our bill and left. The food was good, but the service we received was disappointing and made us feel overlooked. read more

Another Decatur gem! Knowing that I had some special 5-star guests coming into town to join me for a day, I hopped onto Yelp and came across Takumi Cuisine which was less than 3 minutes from our final destination for the day. Although I can't safely eat raw fish at this time, sushi is still a personal favorite of mine so when I read the great reviews for Takumi and saw the pics posted by my fellow Yelpers, I knew it would be a great spot for us to enjoy lunch. Takumi is not a huge restaurant but offers ample seating and flavors that are larger than life. Upon entry, I was really impressed by the beautiful, calming interior decor, the full bar tucked into the back and the relaxing vibe that filled the room. We visited on a Thursday afternoon so there was only one or two other parties seated when we got in which I didn't mind at all. We were greeted by a sweet young lady and ask for a booth by the window (always better for foodie pics!) We started with the addictive cabbage and, WOW. I see why it has that name. The cabbage was fresh and crunchy, covered in a sweet + savory sauce and carrots that had us all scrambling for a bite. My only complaint? I wish it came in a bigger bowl! It was that good. My lunch pals and I ordered a variety of dishes when it came to our entrees. I decided to go with the Takumi roll, as it was cooked, and I was not disappointed. This roll is truly a visual spectacle when it hits your table. A hefty lobster roll with about 12+ pieces, topped with avocado and caviar (which I got on the side to adhere to doctors orders), and finished with a lobster tail for garnish. This roll was as delicious as it was beautiful! As I'm eating for two, I was actually surprised that I couldn't finish the entire roll, that's how big the portion was. Service throughout our lunch was absolutely fantastic. Our waitress was extremely patient and courteous, and took the time to share her personal favorites as we looked over the menu. There was also an older woman who checked on us a few times to see how we were enjoying our meals and to grab some dishes, such a sweet energy. Truly a delicious experience, I'm so glad that we took the chance to enjoy this beautiful restaurant for the afternoon. read more

The sushi roll I had was decent. I only had one roll (pictured). It was going good until I looked up and saw a sanitation score of 81!! Won't be going back until the score is up. (Will update this review if the score goes up, feel free to comment if it does) read more

Takumi in Decatur was the perfect spot for a warm meal. The tonkotsu ramen was so creamy and filling. The egg was cooked perfectly and I was even provided my personal pot of chili oil on the side. I added a little to each bite and it gave a perfect flavorful kick. And the addictive cabbage was well-- addictive. It was the best refreshing appetizer to begin the meal. The service was great with constant check-ins with several of the employees. Parking is available right out the door with via street parking. Which is free after 6! read more

Came here for a quick 3pm lunch with some fellow Yelpers. We were one of the only tables here! The menu has anything you could want: raw sushi, sashimi, appetizers, ramens, stir-fry noodles, the works. We tried the addictive cabbage. It was indeed addictive. I would never think a bowl of raw cabbage would leave me wanting more, but here we are, Atlanta! I ordered the Love Triangle roll, salmon and tuna, spicy mayo, roe, deliciousness. While the roll was amazing, I could've done with a few more pieces, I was pretty hungry and it didn't really seem like enough bang for my buck. I started with the miso soup, which warmed me up after trekking through the cold. I imagine this space is quite romantic after dark, but was a well-lit lunch spot for conducting Important Sushi Business. read more

I really hate leaving less than five star reviews honestly. Today I went for lunch based on their reviews. When I got there, it was totally empty and there was only one gentleman serving. He was extremely rude and felt very inconvenienced every time I asked him any kind of question. The food and the drinks are way overpriced, compared to most in the area for the quality. When I went to the bathroom to wash my hands, the bathroom was absolutely disgusting like gas station level gross. And then to top it all off what I ordered, which did in fact taste great, I got very sick. About 30 minutes after leaving. So this was my experience unfortunately it looks like that's not the norm here so maybe I'll try it again soon but again unfortunately that was the experience. I had spent a lot of money to leave feeling sick and be kind of berated by a wait staff. read more

Absolutely amazing!! We are Japanese food fans and our first time here was spectacular. As one would expect from Japanese culture, everything in this beautiful restaurant is perfect. The first thing I noticed was the authentic music, very classic and much appreciated. The menu is extensive and not just sushi. Extensive selection of fresh fish flown over from Japan. Lots of Japanese whiskies, gin, vodka and sakis. Sapporo on tap. Melt in your mouth fatty tuna stood out. I will definitely get his again. I live the glassware. Even the water glasses are really beautiful! Everything from the high end glassware to the wooden utensils makes this neighborhood gem very special. We have been searching for our weekly Japanese restaurant and this is it! The staff are very attentive, friendly and informative. This restaurant is exceptional in all ways! Thank you for providing us with such a high level of dining! See you very soon read more

This is a cute little traditionally sushi spot. The lady at the bar was super sweet and so intentional with making the strawberry margarita we had. We had the spider roll and deep fried roll which were both fresh and good. I would return to this place to try more of their rolls being that they have a pretty good variety. read more

I was thrilled when I heard about a new sushi option in Decatur. Takumi is a great addition to the area! The are a few complimentary parking spaces directly behind the restaurant. Street parking is also available. Everything Ive tried has been delicious. I typically order the bang bang shrimp and the shrimp boat roll. The shrimp are perfectly crisp and tossed in a scrumptious sauce. The shrimp boat roll consists of tempura shrimp, cucumber, mayo, avocado and is topped with shrimp and eel sauce. I ordered the sangria at my recent visit and was quite impressed. The staff is friendly and efficient. read more

Being from a coastal city where the fishmonger picks up catch from that morning, it's been hard to find truly delicious sushi here in ATL. But Takumi is a game changer. Everything was soooo stinkin fresh and DELICIOUS. We ordered 5 different things from sashimi, to carpaccio, to rolls and everything was truly amazing (esp. the butterfish!) Fantastic menu, great service, reasonable prices. We used to get sushi all the time and have dearly missed it. That has all changed now! Thank you Takumi. read more

Very cute decor. I'd describe it as bright, clean & inviting style. Service was great. Got a house salad, a couple of yellowtail/scallion rolls, salmon nigiri and tried the tai (red snapper) nigiri. *insert chef's kiss* Talk about melting in your mouth, flavorful, sooooo good. Got me some vegan ramen to go. Putting this spot on my list to revisit. Will try to take picks but was pretty hungry.‍ read more

We purposely sought out this place for the crispy tuna roll and it did not disappoint! Very light spicy mayo and the fry was great. We also got a shrimp boat roll but we were not as impressed. The tempura fry was not crispy and the ratio of rice to shrimp was lacking. read more

Other than the decor and the cocktails, everything else is mediocre. Ramen is below mediocre, borderline nasty. Not sure what the other reviews were trying. Funky bamboo, and pork had strange aroma as welll. Tonkotsu was bland, Thin noodles not usual ramen fare. Dragon/eel roll and spider roll were okay. For the price point, very disappointing. Much better offerings around the city. read more

Our party of 4 were visiting from out of town and wanted ramen. We did our research and found Takumi. I will reference by saying we walked in at 2 without realizing the kitchen closed at 2:30. We were sat and immediately given glass water. The utensils were wooden and in a cloth pouch which were really nice. I've never had ramen before so I was in for a treat! The egg was perfect, the noodles were tender and the broth was so flavorful. I highly recommend stopping in the next chance you get ! read more

Our absolute favorite sushi in the area! Nothing compares, hands down! Fish sourced from Japan, yes Japan! We love the staff and are always greeted by them with welcoming arms! If up to our son, we'd eat there multiple times a week! Thank you to Yuen for taking a chance on Decatur!! read more

Excellent! This is one of my favorite sushi places in the city. The service and quality are unmatched and the house soy sauce is delicious. Great cuts of sashimi. Try the hot tea as well. I particularly like the bento box lunch deal, but dinner prices are reasonable. The drinks are fantastic. read more

Oh, damn, their food is good!!! Moderately expensive and totally worth it. The sushi was really fresh and delicious and the miso soup was excellent. I think they rate in the top 4 or 5 sushi restaurants I've tried in all the decades I've loved sushi. Service was good, ambience nice (not too loud, although this was a quiet weeknight for them. As with virtually every restaurant in Decatur, figure you have to pay for parking, which I *hate* about Decatur, but that is not the restaurant's fault. read more

Very strange experience. Party of 6. Food was average. We all got lunch specials. Portions were decent. But when we got there, one person told us the restaurant was closed. Then another person said it was open but no rest rooms. Service was both sides of the coin. Sometimes we had three people. Other times we were searching for people. read more

Was in town for work and dropped by for lunch. Ordered a 10 piece sashimi bento box (can't remember the last time I had one!). It was very satisfying, everything was fresh, and the portions were reasonable (sashimi cuts could be a little more generous). Even so I was stuffed. Also enjoyed Genmaicha tea which was the real deal. Restaurant was very clean, ambiance was nice, and the service was excellent. If I lived here I would be a regular! read more

Takumi is a great addition to downtown Decatur. I stopped in to try a few things and confirm my assumption that the chef is from another restaurant I used to frequent. And I'm glad they found a new spot. I was short on time and wanted something light, so I had the takoyaki and the omakase. Takoyaki is my favorite and always the deciding factor for me. 10/10, perfectly cooked and plenty of octopus in each one. And as soon as I bit into the first one I knew these were my friends from the other restaurant. The omakase sashimi was also very delicious and satisfying. I added a side of rice just to fill me up a little bit more. MP varies, but it was $35 the day I went. I did inquire about more expanded omakase options and they have 3 different options available at standard omakase prices. All 3 are by reservation only, so I definitely want to try those. read more

They are clearly biased and/or racist. Only one staff member that we spoke with actually knew anything about the food on the menu. Took forever to get my drink. It seemed as if the staff was just thrown together last minute with a lot of confusion happening right in front of everyone. Then an older Asian lady, walked to every single table across from me and my partner and around us and walked right by our booth to speak to the other patrons and ask them if everything was ok. She purposefully did not speak to us and when everyone was leaving she said bye to every individual that left the restaurant and wished them well. As we were leaving she just sat and glared at my partner and I without saying a word. If you are an ally to ppl of color or lgbtq+ please do not go to this place. read more

This is my go to spot for sushi and every visit feels like being in Japan. The sushi is phenomenal with fresh fish, perfectly prepared rice, and rolls that are crafted with real care. The cabbage salad is surprisingly delicious and has become one of my favorites. The atmosphere is warm and authentic, the service is welcoming, and the entire experience always feels special. This is the place I recommend to anyone who wants truly exceptional sushi in Atlanta. read more

I had dinner here with family on a Wednesday night, and we were seated right away. It's a pretty small restaurant, and everyone was really nice. We ordered 4 sushi rolls to share: a California roll, a spicy tuna roll, a rainbow roll, and a shrimp boat roll. They were all very good, but the shrimp boat was our favorite and we ordered a second one of those after finishing the first! The prices seemed average. They do also offer omakase by reservation, which would be fun. I'll definitely be back! read more

Takumi was delicious! We tried their spider, crunchy, avocado and pickled pear rolls and all were great. We also tried the chicken and salmon teriyaki which were great as well.

Nowadays, it feels like a rare occurrence that I actually leave a business feeling better than I did when I walked in, and I can say that coming here made the rough day I was having better. I came in here for a very early dinner and for the few minutes where I was the only one at a table, it was peaceful and calm. The music was nice, it's very well decorated, and while I was sat and attended to quickly, the manner of the gentleman who served me was calm and kind. The food was also delicious, I would recommend this place to others and will be back read more

Overall sushi was very good and fresh! Other dishes like chicken karrage were also very yummy, and other family members udon noodle dishes were good too. We came for lunch on Saturday, but they only had one staff person, hosting and waiting tables (8-9 tables) so hopefully they can get more staff! Also the food came out at all different times, so by the time I was done with my sushi, someone's udon noodles just came out, so it was a little awkward for people having to wait for their meal. read more
