I was exctited to hear an all you eat sushi spot came to Columbus. It is in a strip mall off Sawmill tucked in the corner. We didn't have a reservation but was able to get seated right away. It is nicely decorate and the restaurant was quiet. They have two options A-Level and B-Level with upgraded options. They have cocktails for an additional charge. The menu is extensive with appetizers, salads, rolls, habachi type items, desserts and more. The service was fantastic. I loved being able to try different plates that I normally wouldn't try. Besides the rolls, they have smaller shareable plates so you can try different foods. We definitely ate our fill and walked out happy and full. read more

Expensive. But, worth it. Our friends love it and we met one of them today for supper- and they remembered him and treated him like a special guest. It ain't cheap- $43 or $55 I think for supper; we went with $43. The premium items just weren't things I wanted that bad anyway. Plus, the whole table has to do the same level. Kids are free or half-price, depending on height, and Kid K is just under 60" so got half-price. I'd recommend going at lunch to try it out, for I think $27, and again discounts for kids. But considering how much good sushi costs, and how much we ate, we broke even or better. When I was younger I definitely could have made this worth it. Now, and with a kid, less so but still a good deal. The sushi is very good. Best in town? I dunno, but pretty good. Several items we had were stellar. My favorite was the tuna carpaccio, and the unagi was excellent too. We got so many rolls and items I've lost track, but I also liked the I-270 roll and the Cherry Blossom roll. The Crab Rangoons were also great. Kid K got a couple of California rolls and liked them. We got several appetizers and they were very good- soft shell crab, teriyaki wings, kani salad, and much more. Service was excellent. Right there when we needed her, and back to clear plates and refill drinks often. Order ahead a bit for rolls and probably the ramen and hibachi, etc., since those all take time. But smaller items came out very quickly. Kid K's ice cream at the end was on the table almost immediately. The atmosphere is very nice. It wasn't crowded at 6pm on a Tuesday but was picking up when we left. There are party rooms off to the side. The sushi chefs are very visible along one side if you want to watch. It's in the old Sunflower spot, a place I had been to many times. This is definitely an upgrade. Plenty of parking. Careful getting onto Sawmill at peak. All in all a great experience, and I'd go back in a heartbeat. read more

First time review: They are SUPER friendly and helpful. I haven't been here since it used to be a Chinese joint! Point of order: like the hot pot/bbq Korean places, your party orders TOGETHER (so no mixing and matching). Shame, I wanted nigiri! (I figured nigiri would've been cheaper than sashimi? Wait - rice is filling factor. Tricky!) Our server, Victor - was fantastic. He helped us understand the process, get a feel for the vibe and experience. We came in and it wasn't busy - but by the time we left, it picked up and the servers were buzzing all over the place. The food itself: - we did sushi rolls, nigiri, gyoza, AND hibachi, and a smoothie - hibachi I would call "lunch portions" - still big! But not overwhelming. - the rolls are packed, they did NOT skimp here. It's not cheap - so come hungry! For us - it'll be a "special occasion" place, or maybe a guy's sushi night - but if you can get your fill? It's worth it. read more

Mixed review here. I'd say 3.5 overall and has potential for improvement. I'd list them specifically: 1. Uncertain if they accept reservations so we tried calling multiple times prior to visit. No answer, went straight to VM. Still, we just went. 20 min wait upon arrival no biggie this was 7pm. 2. There's like a split dining area. It looks big. But they weren't full in capacity. 3. 15-20 mins have gone by after we were seated. No one approached us. Though there's quite a few servers walking around. We were about to get up & walk out when the server apologized and took our order. We were warned that it will be about 20 mins for the sushis to come out. We're like fine we'll give it a shot. We already waited & we opted for the set B dinner that has all the sashimi. 4. We waited patiently, apps came decently timely. We ordered almost in bulk to avoid waiting. 5. We ordered mostly sashimis and appetizers and they were amazing. However the sweet shrimp was limited to only one piece per person! It was quite filling and everything was delish. I hope things improve given they are a fairly new establishment. My tummy was still happy.. read more

We love a good AYCE sushi restaurant and so glad we got one in Columbus! There was a decent crowd but thankfully no wait on a weekend evening. They've got two tiers (the primary difference being with or without sashimi) and we just went with the standard. All the rolls were fantastic. The nigiri you can see has a great fish-to-rice ratio - exactly what you want to see. Service was pretty fast all around. Overall, would highly recommend!! read more

Takumi Sushi just opened up on Sawmill Road in Dublin, & it is a must visit!!! This is by far the absolute nicest & highest quality all you can eat spot I've ever been to; I love it! The aesthetic and vibes are immaculate; this is an amazing date or celebration spot! The service is super quick & very friendly! Everything is delicious! Starting with some soju, sake or tea and apps is the way to go! The passionfruit tea is unreal & you can never go wrong with crab rangoon! I really like the ikayaki; this is something different from what I normally order, but it is cooked to perfection! All of the rolls are fresh and fun; the Cherry Blossoms is a must! The hibachi is extra tasty & I like that it's not such a huge portion, so you can try all the other goodies! The ramen is cooked over an 8 hour span, it has a great smoky flavor & the noodles are awesome! You need to come here ASAP; I'll be going back real soon! read more

It's a nice clean modern ambiance. I have been here a few times (all during dinner time on the weekend) and the speed of the food coming out it pretty good. The hot appitizers are very hot and fresh. The sushi seems fresh as well and I like that the rice amount on the nigiri is small. They don't try to just fill you up with rice. It's also nice that soft drinks are included in the price. read more

Great place!! Trying out the first AYCE sushi spot I've been to in Columbus, I was excited to see it's in the plaza of one of my favorite taco spots. I came at 2:30pm and sat in the corner since I had my 5 month old son with me. $26.95 for all you can eat with a very expansive menu to pick from. The place indeed has an elegant feel which I prefer to the revolving sushi options (Hokkaido and Kura) in Columbus. Soft music playing and It's well decorated with soft lighting. I started with Chicken Katsu and Gyoza for appetizers. The Katsu was super crunchy and the perfect portion size. It was served with a sweet tangy dipping sauce. The Gyoza was again perfectly seared and served with Sweet vinegar soy dipping sauce. Takumi Ramen with Pork belly was on par with the best I've had in Columbus. The egg was perfect! The pork belly had an amazing sear and flavor. Just the right amount of spice. Honestly it was amazing. The wait time for my next round was a little long. My waiter made a few passes to check on me but then I didn't see him for a while. Next was Crab Rangoon, Tiger Roll and 2 pieces of Tamago Nigiri. The Rangoon had a unique shape but was super crunchy with apricot dipping sauce. My only criticism would be the wait time. It took much longer for my Tiger Roll to come out. I heard another table tell their waiter that they wanted their check. It seemed it was too long of a wait for them. The Tiger Roll came and I was impressed. Very fresh and attention to detail and presentation was obvious. Even though it took a little long, it was worth the wait. I did not get a chance to try the mochi ice cream because my son started getting a little grumpy. I'll have to try that next time around. I will say for an all you can eat sushi place, aside from the waiting time, this was definitely worth the money. I will say I prefer this over the conveyor belt sushi places because it does all come out fresh and you can tell that there is more attention spent on detail and fresh ingredients. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be back! read more

I travel to Columbus on a regular basis and always look for new restaurants to try. I went last week with a co-worker for the soft opening. I wasn't expecting much from the area where it is located. Stepping inside, it is much nicer than I expected. It was more like a finer sit-down restaurant. Prior to the opening, I was going to another AYCE sushi restaurant. For a little more money at Takumi, the food is a lot better. We tried various dishes and fishes with nothing but great flavors. We returned this week (with 2 co-workers) and tried more of the menu. We enjoyed everything we tried. One thing to note is that everything is made to order, so be patient on the food coming out, it's not buffet or mass produced food. They focus on quality and not just quantity. read more

Came on their soft opening day! Taking over the old Sunflower spot, Takumi Sushi is a higher-end AYCE sushi restaurant where you order in rounds instead of buffet style. Opening day felt surprisingly calm compared to other recent AYCE openings, though I'm not sure if that will last. I was very impressed with the clean, upscale atmosphere. We came for a late lunch ($26.95) before 3pm, when most (but not all) items are available. Standout items included the carpaccios, which are essentially sashimi with a yuzu dressing, and the chirashi don, both available during lunch. The fish quality is definitely high-end, and the professional sushi chefs clearly know what they're doing. We're excited to come back and hope they continue to do well! read more

Takumi Sushi AYCE - Interior - Japanese Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Friendly yet somewhat sporadic service affected the flow of AYCE experience*. Except for some of the deep fried items, the food was very good. Presentation was attempted but did not live up to photos shown online. Ambiance was great. *It was a bit odd when our party of three arrived for seating we were told that they were short staffed and that there would be up to a 30 minute delay in getting certain sushi items. We all felt that they were actually discouraging us from being seated. We have not been back to see if this is a recurring issue. read more

Our server, Victor, was phenomenal! We didn't wait long for much of anything while we were there. The restaurant was very modern, yet relaxed. The food was fresh and tasty! We got to try 4-5 different sushi rolls, nigiri, and ramen. I recommend the I-270 if you like fried sushi! We ate to our fill and had a great time. read more

Run don't walk to the newest AYCE Sushi restaurant in Columbus. Visited on their second night of their soft opening and was treated to medley of sushi delights. Highlights included their fried soft shell crab and King Lonster roll. Their nigiri and sashimi fish was cold and like butter! Honest pricing. And the rooms are beautifully appointed. read more

Takumi Sushi AYCE - Sushi and assorted sashimi. - Japanese Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Not a good first impression at all. Our meal took two hours because evidently we were never checked in by the hostess and then we had a bunch of different waiters throughout the meal. The food was really good which is the unfortunate part. They ended up asking us if we wanted to leave instead of wait for the last few rolls we ordered which was crazy. They didn't offer to comp or anything. read more

Had such a lovely dinner tonight at this new spot. The interior is stunning--warm lighting, elegant design, and a really inviting atmosphere. We went with Menu B, which gave us access to the full All-You-Can-Eat experience, including premium items--and it was absolutely worth it. The service was fantastic; our server was knowledgeable, attentive, and made the whole experience seamless. Food came out quickly, and we loved being able to order more as we went. The sushi was outstanding, but don't skip the non-sushi options--the hibachi and fried ramen were just as delicious. Highly recommend if you're a sushi lover (or even if you're not). We'll definitely be back--and have already been telling friends and family to check it out. read more

This place was fun to try. It was a beautiful atmosphere and spectacular service. Okay so let me get to the review. I am a stickler for food and this place was our first AYCE sushi experience in Columbus. The food was fresh! It's true the food is made to order so that already beats so many other restaurants. I will say though some dishes were hit or miss. Like the crab ragoons hit! The shumai hit! The seaweed salad the miso soup hit! The sushi and ramen was so fresh and good. The ramen pork belly wasn't the best and our steak hibachi was mid. The fried rice was decent but the steak was tough. It's is very expensive for dinner. We probably wouldn't come back because of the price point. But definitely would come if someone paid for our meal. I thought the nigiri was so fresh and yummy. The plates everything. So if I'm being honest this place was really good to try but the price point might not be worth it depending on how hungry you are. We didn't like that all of the fried food had so much coating.. Tried to cover everything in this hopefully it helps you. Freshness and delicacy was good certain dishes did miss but for the price point might not be worth the dinner price. read more

I recently visited this all you can eat sushi restaurant and was really impressed with the overall experience. The fish tasted fresh, the rolls were nicely presented, and there was a wide variety of options, from classic rolls to more creative specialties. I especially liked that everything is made to order, so the sushi arrives at the table looking and tasting much better than a typical buffet setup. Also, very fine dinning set up with good service! Definitely coming back! read more

I have been here 4 times now and every visit has been so special! The service is so amazing and everyone is so welcoming and friendly! The menu is so diverse and there's something for every person!

Everything feels so clean as well and you can definitely see the attention to detail in everything they do! Haley was an outstanding waitress as she helped us navigate the menu and encouraged us to order as much as we pleased! read more

Moved to Columbus two years ago and have had a harder time finding amazing restaurants, but this is such a great addition to our list. The sushi was high quality and fresh, and the owners and servers were top notch. Really pleasantly surprised with the quality, especially because we weren't impressed with some of the trendy revolving sushi places in Columbus. The rules are clearly listed on the website and menu, so you may want to familiarize yourself. We had kids with us and they were able to order noodles and rice, also. Pictures may make it look like it would be more geared towards adults, but the atmosphere was family-friendly. Note that there's a full bar- the website doesn't specify. Went on a Saturday night and it was full. Highly recommend and will be returning! read more

I've been here twice now; the first time on a Saturday night right before the dinner rush, and the second for Mother's Day lunch. Both experiences were excellent. The food was fresh, the service was great, and everything we tried was delicious and fresh. We especially loved the salmon carpaccio, yellowtail jalapeño carpaccio, and the Triple Three roll. Anytime I find a place that feels genuinely welcoming and provides such great customer service (especially while dining with my wild kids), I always try to leave a good review. That kind of experience feels rare these days, and it's definitely appreciated. read more

Nice new addition for Columbus. A classy spot to have all you can eat sushi. They serve you. No buffet bars here. Service was very good. My server Victor was fantastic. A little pricey but you get what you pay for here. Sushi was fresh and good portions. Definitely will be back read more

Excellent service. I was greeted at the door with a smile. The had just sat a table of 20 after me and the manager was so thoughtful. She stopped by greeted me and talked to me even though it was busy. They do tell you in the beginning that the wait could be 15 mins or so but to be honest the vibe was nice so I didn't mind. Plus I understood because this is AYCE but served to you not buffet style which I prefer. Food was fresh and excellent. Will be back! read more

Went to Takumi today for lunch. The hostess greeted us and explained cost and process. There was a sign on entry showing the ingredients that were not available today, some of which were dinner only items. Nice to know before you are seated what was not available. Very tastefully decorated and bright and clean. The men's restroom was spotless and very efficiently laid out making the most of limited space. We got fried calamari (tasted like an Italian seasoning and breading very thick and calamari was overcooked) and the spicy kani salad (just ok-needed more spice). We ordered 4 different rolls and all were excellent. My biggest complaint was the rolls were full-sized rolls (8 or 11 pieces) which limited the number of rolls we could try as with only 2 people eating, we just couldn't eat more. Service could use refinement. We had to ask for silverware, napkins and a small plate. Calamari came out fairly quickly but a long delay on the kani salad. They weren't overly busy but had to grab the server to order more food. The time between ordering and receiving the food seemed a bit slow even taking into consideration freshly made. (An adjacent table seemed to get more prompt ordering and delivery with the same server we had.) Definitely will go back as most of the food was good quality and everything fresh. Some of their dinner options looked interesting but much pricier than lunch. Hopefully they will address the service issues and, hopefully, offer smaller rolls so customers can have a larger variety. read more

Takumi Sushi seriously impressed me. The sushi was incredibly fresh--you can taste the quality in every bite. The fish was clean, flavorful, and beautifully prepared, and the rolls were well balanced without being overloaded. We also tried the hibachi, and it did not disappoint. Everything came out hot, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor. The portions were generous, and the seasoning was spot on--comforting but still elevated. They're still new, so you can tell they're working through a few logistics here and there, but honestly, that's expected--and the food quality more than makes up for it. The ingredients are fresh, the dishes are thoughtfully made, and it's absolutely worth the price. You can tell there's a lot of care put into the food here. I'm excited to come back and see them continue to grow because the potential is definitely there. Highly recommend if you're looking for great sushi and solid hibachi. read more
