" I had been waiting to come to Takumi Omakase, and I finally did! The sushi here is incredibly fresh, and the detail in preparation is noticeable. I enjoyed every piece served, but the standout was definitely the black miso cod – perfectly cooked and seasoned. Service was very friendly, although I felt they could have moved a bit slower so we could enjoy each course more. Still, it's a special place that I recommend for anyone trying out omakase for the first time! " (*Curated Review*)

" First experience with omakase at Takumi Omakase, and I am so impressed! The food was fresh and delicious, with each course outperforming the last. I particularly loved the scallop and amberjack! The atmosphere was inviting, although a bit cramped. The service was impeccable; the chefs were friendly and engaged, making sure we enjoyed each dish. Very happy we made a reservation. I will definitely be back with friends soon! This place is a hidden gem in the city. " (*Curated Review*)

" An unforgettable omakase experience at Takumi! The flavors were exceptional, especially the wagyu and eel, which I still can't stop thinking about! The service was fantastic, making us feel welcomed and valued as customers. I appreciated the chef taking the time to explain each dish, which added a personal touch to the evening. My only complaint would be that the seating is a bit cramped, but overall, I absolutely loved it! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience was great, though slightly rushed. The chefs were clearly skilled; the food was fresh and beautifully presented. The sake pairing really elevated the experience. Can't believe how quickly they serve each dish! I felt quite full by the end, but I would have liked to savor it all a little more. Regardless, it’s a great place for a reasonably priced omakase meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I celebrated a birthday here recently, and it was an unforgettable experience! The staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome and even remembered the birthday. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared and the flavors were evident – a genuinely authentic omakase experience. The cozy setting added an intimate feel to our gathering. While the portions were reasonable, they weren't overly generous, but it was enough to feel satisfied. Highly recommend this place for special occasions! " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience at Takumi Omakase was nothing short of magical! From the moment we arrived, the staff welcomed us warmly, and we immediately felt the cozy ambiance. The omakase menu was 15 courses of pure delight. Each piece was skillfully explained by the chef, who took the time to describe the source of the fish and the techniques used. My favorite was definitely the miso cod; it melted in my mouth! It was incredible for the price too. Can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had my first omakase experience here, and wow, did it exceed my expectations! The 15-course menu was not just filling but extremely well thought out. Each piece was crafted with care, and the attention to detail was evident. I loved the variety of dishes from delicious appetizers to perfectly seasoned nigiri. The atmosphere was cozy, though a bit on the smaller side, making for quite an intimate dining experience. Service was welcoming and the chef was very knowledgeable. Will recommend this place to anyone looking for good omakase under $100! " (*Curated Review*)
