    Nicely presented seaweed salad
    Holly K.

    I really enjoyed my dinner here. The main selling point for me is their variety, vibe, and the fact that they accept reservations regardless of your party size!! I love that I can choose to eat here, stress-free on a Saturday at 6pm... a busy place during prime dinner time but I can waltz right in because they actually let me make a reservation for 2 people ahead of time. Game-changing. I was also really impressed by their interior space. I didn't sit in one, but they have larger booths in the midsection of their restaurant which are all in semi-circle pods which gives it a very private feel because you cant see any of the tables around you. In general, it's a way better vibe than the competing jbbq places in that it doesn't have that same hustle bustle feel if you know what I mean... way more suitable for date night. They had so many different food items on that menu that I was excited to try. Takowasabi, salmon poke, specialty sushi rolls. All were very good and nicely presented... the sushi rolls were somewhat interesting... one of them had apple in it but I enjoy that they're creative with it. My bf said the meat quality and variety is not as good, but it's still very tasty and tender, plus I personally am willing to sacrifice a bit of meat quality for variety of other items. If you're a heavy meat eater you might disagree though. Service was attentive and on par with what you'd expect from a jbbq restaurant. The price came out to about $120 after tax and tip, which I feel is standard these days for weekend AYCE. Overall, I would def recommend and will likely be back when the next craving/special occasion hits.

    The ambience is great, they have open dining area as well as private booth and rooms, dimmed lights and clean interior; great selection of food, from sushi and salad to seafood and meats for grilling... All you can eat! The only thing is when you're in a booth, it's hard to flag for help because the waiters can't see you, but the servers are all very friendly.

    (4 out of 5 stars) Visited Takumi Japanese BBQ in North York, a newly opened location that has been nicely renovated. The restaurant is large, modern, and comfortable, with many private booths that offer good privacy -- ideal for small groups or couples. We ordered the All You Can Eat Dinner for Two ($91.88). The highly promoted AAA Prime Beef Steak, limited to two pieces per person, was disappointing -- not tender and lacking in flavor, though perhaps we overcooked it slightly on the grill. Most of the other dishes were much better. The garlic shrimp, squid, red boneless beef, and lamb were flavorful and enjoyable. The cold tofu and seaweed salad were good appetizers, though a bit too salty. The Miso soup was ok, 6/10. The Onion soup has no taste 1/10. Desserts, however, were underwhelming. The vanilla ice cream cone had a coarse texture -- more like homemade shaved ice than smooth ice cream -- and the mango pudding lacked richness and flavor. Overall, Takumi offers a pleasant setting and decent variety, but the food quality was uneven. I'd rate it 4 out of 5 stars -- worth trying once, though I'm not sure I'd return.

    Very busy Japanese BBQ place at Leslie and Finch. The Front of House staff was friendly, he was busy too but was so attentive. We had the same experience with our server. The meat came out quickly. Great quality cuts! I also loved the seaweed salad. I could eat 10 of them in a row. There is a 2 hour seating limit but I felt it was enough time for 2 people. The place is also well designed and is bigger inside than it looks. Will definitely be going back for any special occasions.

    Just visited Takumi new location at North York and loved everything. The meat were super fresh and well-marinated, and the interior design is very beautiful, cozy with enough privacy for charting and gatherings. Staff were friendly and attentive too. Definitely a new favourite spot and I'll back soon

    I'll give it a 5 star. Food is great, ingredients are fresh, you get good portions to start with. Basic service is there. You get your order in, dishes come up timely, and they make the rounds to clear plates. The grills are hot and they have more surface area so it needs to be greased, otherwise the meats get stuck quickly. We put down some pork belly to get things going and it was a lot smoother. They have beef fat available but it wasn't automatically provided. Ventilation is built into the grill itself, so the smoke never leaves the grill area, so you don't leave smelling like you got bbq'd. This is compared to other BBQs where they have vents above you. We were offered to exchange grills several times, which is nice. I like that there are a lot of non marinated beef options. Meats are thin enough to grill fast, but not too thin. The salmon in particular was well seasoned. For drinks, I ordered a watermelon juice. You can literally watch them blend up your watermelon behind the bar, so it's as natural as it gets as far as fruit juice is concerned. Dessert was very good. The creme brulee was very light, very creamy, and not too sweet. They seem to be opened recently so maybe some things are not as optimal.

    Came here for dinner for 4. It's still soft opening so I give it some grace. I called beforehand but they do not take reservations if you're not a party of 6 or more. The food came out pretty quick as there wasn't many tables. I think the duration of our time there there was only 3 tables including us. The grill definitely was powerful however, please don't let your server put it to max, our food burnt so easily and the fire was so strong that hot oil from the meats was splashing everywhere which is a hazard. Meats were average, the steak were really tough to chew after the first round and the pork belly was literally all fat with barely any meat. However, what's disappointing was the service, it was almost non-existent. It was super hard to find a staff and they rarely checked up on us to clear plates or see if we wanted to order more. Overall a disappointing experience.

    Such a WONDERFUL service and food quality , we had a great time there and will definitely recommend

    Really enjoyed our experience at Takumi. You grill the food yourself, which makes it fun and interactive, and everything we ordered tasted great. The meats were good quality and cooked nicely on the grill, and the sushi was really flavourful and fresh. Everything came out at a good pace, so we never felt rushed or overwhelmed. The atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable, making it easy to enjoy a laid-back meal. Service was friendly and helpful without being overbearing. To top it all off, the soft serve taro ice cream at the end was the perfect ending to the meal. Prices felt fair for the quality and experience. Definitely a place I'd come back to and recommend.

As a guest at a family celebration, I didn't catch the exact price of our menu, but judging from similar ones online, I'd estimate it around $798. Before committing to a $1,000+ spread, it's worth visiting to explore the more accessible offerings. The roasted suckling pig with jellyfish is a dish of contrasts: warm, rich pork paired with cool, crunchy jellyfish. It may have been my portion, but the pork leaned slightly fatty. Still, it was moist with a delicate, crispy skin. Instead of the usual deep-fried crab claw, Queen's serves a scallop with shrimp paste. It's easier to eat with a knife and fork, and while the sauce softens the crisp exterior, it adds a savoury depth without overwhelming the seafood. The crispy salted egg yolk prawns were impressively large and well cooked. I don't usually gravitate towards salted egg yolk, finding it heavy, but here it added a pleasant richness. Since the coating sits on the shell, it's easy to control how much you get. I also appreciated the inclusion of vegetables throughout the meal. The scallops came with gai lan, while the prawns were paired with broccoli, helping balance out the richness. Swapping out the usual shark fin soup, the bird's nest soup with minced chicken and egg white was a welcomed change. The broth was thick and silky, but the minced chicken added some much-needed texture. This is a long review for the rest go to Gastro World.

The restaurant was surrounded in tanks full of lobster, crab, seafood and then a ton of dry aged steaks. Definitely something you don't see in California. Clean and spacious. Service was what you would expect from a Chinese seafood restaurant. Overall the meal was good, for me and a few others at the table the star of the show was actually the fish. The lobster while impressive when they brought it out was not as flavorful as one would have expected. And same with the king crab legs - my favorite have been the ones I've had in SF. Was interesting to come and experience it but I wouldn't come back. I prefer quality food over an IG-moment.

The establishment is famous for its iconic, towering mountains of deep-fried Hong Kong-style lobster and giant Alaskan king crabs.Without a doubt, the food is exceptional. The seafood is extraordinarily fresh--pulled straight from massive surrounding glass tanks--and prepared to absolute perfection with their signature Maggi sauce and garlic toppings. However, the major downside here is the notoriously slow and chaotic service. Due to the massive crowds, servers can be hard to flag down, orders take a long time to arrive, and the staff often feels rushed or inattentive. Despite the frustrating wait times and subpar service, the spectacular flavors and theatrical presentation make it a worthwhile destination for patient seafood lovers.Watch the massive lobster towers being prepared and served fresh at this iconic spot

The restaurant is a decent size with a cozy and relaxing ambiance. We ordered some of the most popular dishes, and everything that came out was absolutely delicious.

Overall the food was good. The sauces were all really good and enhanced the flavour of the shellfish.

It was a whole infusion of flavour and had a little kick to it as well! My only complaint is it is a bit on the pricey side (was about $70 per person), but that's expected with lobster and crab.

There are specials that change weekly. The interior is decorated with New Orleans memorabilia, medium lit, cozy (not large), with jazz music in the background. Service was attentive and friendly. They operated for 30 years at their old location. This location soft-opened on 2026-02-12. We came on 2026-02-25 for dinner. There were still some furnishings to complete (there were unforeseen delays). They kept the same menu offerings but it will be expanded within a month. We ordered the following: 1. Citra Terre D'Abruzzo Pinot Grigio - Italy (glass $14.95). 2. Coke. 3. Crab Cakes ($19.95). 4. New Orleans Shrimp Cocktail ($19.95). 5. Jambalaya Aranchini (weekly special). 6.

Every dish had an excellent presentation. We spent a lot of time taking photos and videos. What did you expect from me?! We loved all the dishes! The portions were large! There are more staff than in the previous location, allowing the service to be excellent. They tend to have many loyal and returning customers. Every table starts with freshly baked bread and butter. The bread was so fresh! The three appetizers tasted good. They each had a little kick due to creole cuisine. I loved the shrimp the most. The Blackened Lamb Chops was perfectly cooked. Each of the four pieces were very tender, accompanied by a delicious sauce. The dish had some very nicely cooked seasonal vegetables: roasted potatoes, a red pepper, string beans, a broccoli, and a carrot. This dish will be put into their regular menu in the near future. The New Orleans Fisherman's Plate is great if you want a little sampling of their seafood: Blackened Fish, Cajun Calamari, and Coconut Beer Shrimp. It also comes with rice and seasonal vegetables. The fish was so good! We brought some home for my mom and she really loved it. The Coconut Beer Shrimp was on top of a Orange Marmalade Sauce, which is really liked. The three desserts looked really good and tasted good. I loved the pecan pie the most. They can split dishes in half in the kitchen and serve them on two dishes for two people to share. The restaurant uses fresh seasonal ingredients and spices to create authentic Creole and Cajun tastes. Everything is made in-house except for bread and butter. In the near future, their bread will be made in-house too. Currently, there is only indoor dining but they are looking into the possibility of sidewalk outdoor dining. Mike Djurdjevic runs the front of the house while his wife, Mira Djurdjevic, operates the kitchen. Their son, Marko, also helps in the front of the house. There is a large pizza oven at the back of the restaurant. They will be introducing creole pizza in the near future. There is a separate large room for events, parties, etc. This room will be ready in the near future. They also do catering. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible, but there is no door-open button. There is one gender-neutral washroom, which is also wheelchair accessible, and one female washroom. Thrre is paid neighbourhood street parking. Review 2026-037

When we arrived, he insisted that we did not have a reservation even after we showed our confirmation, and, instead of apologizing for what appeared to be the restaurant's booking system error, he tried to lecture us about how certain reservation websites do not allow large-group bookings. Rather than taking responsibility or working professionally toward a solution, his attitude was rude, dismissive, and completely inappropriate. Fortunately, the lady working with him was kind, professional, and genuinely tried to explain the situation and find a way to accommodate us. She deserves recognition for her efforts. Our group was in town for an eight-day conference with more than 3,000 attendees. Because of this experience, this restaurant has unfortunately been added to the "not recommended" list for this annual event. When restaurants host business travelers, the way guests are treated matters just as much as the quality of the food. Unprofessional treatment of customers and business partners can damage relationships and cost businesses significant opportunities. To anyone considering this restaurant: the food is excellent, but if you're planning an important business dinner or any special occasion, be aware that the wrong interaction at the front desk could ruin your evening. Great food alone cannot make up for poor management and unprofessional customer service.
