Reviews
To start I had the miso soup; comforting and classic.
Standouts included the jumbo scallops, madai (Japanese snapper), and sea urchin nigiri. Everything tasted fresh! The Fire Island roll had a nice balance of heat and flavor with shrimp tempura, spicy tuna, avocado, seared tuna, jalapeño, onion, and ponzu.
The Baja California roll was refreshing with spicy tuna, avocado, cucumber, and yellowtail on the outside with cilantro and ponzu.
The Black Spider roll was rich and satisfying, featuring soft shell crab, avocado, freshwater eel, spicy mayo, and eel sauce (Please note this is a big roll! Two bite type pieces). The salmon nigiri was simple and well executed
Service from Bill and Damian C. was excellent! They were super helpful, friendly, attentive, and made the experience memorable.

Would return!
A great place with awesome service, whether you’re visiting with family and friends or seeking a quick solo spot at the counter.
No wait around 2pm-ish and was seated right away. Food came fairly quick and quality- QUALITY of the sashimi were amazing! Definitely brought me back to when I was in Japan. Lastly, service was excellent. They ensured from start to finish they met our needs. Definitely will return despite we are a drive away from SD.
What we ordered:
1. Salmon collar – wow. Tender, flavorful, and just the right amount of fattiness. Fresh and succulent.
2. Nigiri – toro, uni, unagi, ikura and salmon. All were incredibly fresh and generously portioned for the price. Really, you can’t beat the price to quality ratio. Takumi – like Eat’s – reigns supreme.
3. Baked scallop roll – I don’t normally order rolls, but I have to make an exception when at Takumi. Usually I feel like sushi rolls incorporate lower quality fish than the nigiri, sashimi, and handrolls – but this is clearly not the case at Takumi. Anyway, this is my absolute favorite roll at Takumi, and the scallops are refreshingly not overcooked and fresh, without that cheap fishy aroma. The roll itself is both savory and just a touch sweet – hitting all my favorite flavor profiles.
3. Bikini roll – my second favorite roll at Takumi. Salmon, tuna, and tempura shrimp are the dominant flavors here. All great quality fish and very reasonably priced.
4. Soft shell crab – just a classic dish, and Takumi executes this so perfectly. The perfect amount of batter to crab, and the dipping sauce is the perfect compliment.
5. Philly roll – according to my dining partner, the best Philly roll he’s ever had.
6. Handrolls – we ordered Philly, spicy tuna, and California. All excellent and classics, no notes.
Service was amazing – we were greeted and constantly checked on by the servers. They did an excellent job topping up our waters and bringing out dishes quickly. Takumi was a fantastic choice for a date night, and easy parking is always a plus. This and Eat’s (their sister restaurant) will forever be our go-to sushi picks when in OC.

We ordered some vegetable tempura. It was so crispy on the outside and warm and sweet on the inside. We also got some salmon tempura. The salmon was thick cut and was so flavorful. Both tempuras were perfect.
Next we got some sushi rolls. I love that you can get 4 piece rolls so you can try more. The rolls were stuffed and super fresh and flavorful.
Then we got a few pieces of nigiri. Evey piece was so flavorful and some of the freshest sashimi we have had.
We ended with bento boxes. The grilled salmon was amazingly delicious. The katsu was crispy on the outside and the chicken was so tender and moist on the inside.
An absolutely wonderful restaurant whose food reminded me of home.
