Takamatsu Restaurant, Tucson

I wish there were minus stars - or F's for efverything - My favorite place closer to town Kozuko was closed. I wanted sushi. I have been hearing about how fabulous this place was since i've been living in Tucson (the fabulous city!). last nite i decided to try it - UGH! I sat at the sushi bar. i ordered something simple i thought surely they couldn't screw up being my first time there. California roll. and two pcs of Yellowtail sushi - i ate the yellowtail first and it was good. I told the waiter i didn't want much rice and he said no problem, but there was too much rice - and i let it go not a problem. a preference not a need. But when i bit into the simple and very very plain california roll - it tasted like it had been sitting out open for hours. the rice was sticky, hard and stale tasting. the inside of the roll was shrunk up where at Kozuku it is always fresh and packed inside. i'm from DALLAS my friends. I know great food, restaurants, and dining. This was at best or worse.... a stale sushi drive through in a cheap part of town. the ghetto. They kept asking me how it was - they never refilled even my water glass. I gave them the thumbs up a couple of times then i called the waiter over and told him - uh... where did this come from? I know my sushi and this is the stalest i've every had. He walked over to the rice holder big bowl and came back and shrugged his shoulders and said... uh its close to closing time so its not real fresh. Then he said, do you want me to take it off the bill? And i said yes. But when the bill came it was still on it. I just paid it after telling the waitress my story and she said, 'okay, have a great evening' - I told the waiter, I had made a sushi mistake and would never go there again. He also said 'ok thanks, have a nice evening' which makes me think its a pretty common occurrence. I go to Wendy's next time Kozuko is closed - Maybe YOU SHOULD GO THERE - and not fool with this place.

I love Takamatsu! The newly remodeled restaurant is clean and gorgeous and the service is always great. I have been eating sushi at Takamatsu for years and have never had a bad experience here. The korean barbecue is delicious and the kids enjoy cooking their own food and trying the varieties of sides offered with Korean Barbeque. The meat is some of the most deicios meat I have ever tasted. Again, I love Takamatsu!

I love going there for the Korean Barbecue, or Yakiniku. Portions are huge and yummy.

This was one of the worst restaurants that I've ever been to. The waitress kept bugging us to order. We had never been there before so it took awhile. Then when someone brought over our food they just basically tossed it on the table not saying a thing. After that no one ever came back. It was loud and obnoxious in there. You couldn't hear yourself think. The Gyoza looked and tasted deep fried and you needed a magnifying glass to see the stuffing inside of it. Talk about cheap. The sushi was good but the rolls were a complete rip off. Don't waste your time there are other great places in this city.

Couldn't understand server and service was really bad. Food was extremely greasy! And becareful what you order cause if you don't like it, you still have to pay for it. The only good thing I can think of is the susuhi was pretty good. And maybe the Korean food was better, but stay away from their Japanese food, they do not know how to make it!

We use to go every 2 to 3 weeks. The Sushi bar has great food and with a fair prize. Korean we're not regular, but has all these great dishes

This is my all-time favorite place to eat. They simply have the best sushi and teppan in town.

My husband and I eat at this restaurant on average about 3-4 times a month. Their sushi is my favorite in town. However over the last month we have just been getting take out there because the service is almost always HORRIBLE. The servers are really bad about seeing if you want more sushi, getting refills on drinks, and just overall making sure everything is ok. Wonderful food- the only reason we go back

Very Good
