Reviews Takka Sushi Bar

We've always enjoyed sushi, from when we met in 1982. We fondly remember so many sushi bars that have come and gone - Kazra's downtown with the Shintu-priest proprietor whose voice was raspy from too many cigarettes, the Elvis-look-alike sushi chef at Kinokawa in Chula Vista, the family who ran Kamon in La Mesa who brought Karaoke to San Diego. They have all come and gone, but their artistry remains firmly planted in memory. In our neighborhood, Covid seems to have done a number on our neighborhood sushi bars. Tsuki Sushi has mysteriously vanished, Narumi is content with preparing Take-Out only orders and customers are no longer welcome to dine there in person. Ahi Sushi is no longer our go-to as the nigiri becomes smaller and the hours posted online are inaccurate, as we found out the hard way. Therefore, Takka in Santee, is like the glimmering gem spotted on the bottom of a pond. We went in last night and had an amazing experience. The sushi was super fresh, the albacore was so tasty, and they had fresh ikura! It's been two years since we had that! Suffice it to say, this is our new go-to sushi bar, thanks to the prowess of sushi chef Jack and the rest of the staff. Excellent!

Went here with friends who highly recommend me try Sushi and Takka was the place to go on their list. It was great! Especially the Hawaiian special roll. 😋 California Beach roll, Salmon skin roll. So good. The service was great. Quiet amposhere. Friendly. I had a great time celebrating my birthday as well. Will definitely be coming back. Maybe date night 😉!
