The food was affordable and excellent. I ordered the two-meat hibachi dinner, which was delicious and had ample portions for me. The service was satisfactory, and the server checked on our table occasionally. The interior featured a black decor and had decent tables.
The bento box was filling. The salmon had great flavor but a little over cooked. The California roll was cut into bigger slices which was nice. I really enjoyed it. It comes with a salad and choice of miso or clear soup. I got the clear soup. This is on there lunch special. The service was good but they don't make substations. The place is a good size and can accommodate a group.
Hands down my favorite hibachi meal in Memphis. The food is always delicious, very impressive how fresh the seafood is considering we aren't near a coast. The restaurant itself is clean and the staff is very friendly, we always have great service.
This is a great experience in fusion cuisine. The inside is semi casual, very modern and cool, the service was great, everyone was very friendly, and the food was stellar. I had the pad Thai and dragon roll, and it was one of my favorite pad Thais I've had to date. Would definitely recommend both!
Me and my boyfriend's favorite date spot and my favorite place to get pad Thai! Love the ambiance and the service is top notch. Take out is just as good!
We looked for a Thai restaurant in our area to no avail, but this spot has a Thai menu too! We started off with the Jollibee and Pink & White, really nice drinks. We tried quite a few sushi rolls and then the Thai Red Curry. All was delish. If I had any critique, it would be that they didn't give small plates for us to use and share meals. Service was nice, the bartender and server were both kind and attentive. The place was clean, a little unique with all the tvs.
We're in town visiting and my son wanted sushi. This appeared to be one of the highest rated so we gave it a try. The moment we were greeted by our server set the tone for the entire evening. She was absolutely charming and very attentive to our needs. We ordered harumaki and gyōza for appetizers and they came out quickly and prepared absolutely perfectly. The harumaki wrappers were light and crispy and the gyōza were beautifully fried as well. Between the three of us we ordered five different sushi rolls. The Yum Yum roll and Crazy Crab rolls were stand out favorites, and my classic spicy salmon roll was delicious as well. After we finished our server gave us a couple of suggestions of family friendly activities for the next day as well. We have family who live nearby and friends who visit regularly for medical appointments, so we will be recommending Takashi Bistro to all of them.
I'm visiting Memphis for work and I stopped in here because it was close to where I had a meeting. I ordered white tuna and yellowtail sashimi and the vegetable drunken noodles. I didn't have to wait long for my sashimi to arrive, and the noodles came out just as I finished my appetizer. The fish tasted fresh, and the noodles were fantastic. I didn't think I was that hungry but I finished every last bite because it was so good. My server was very friendly and he had the best smile. My meal plus a 22% tip was a very reasonable $33.
