Tataki Japanese Restaurant

Food - just adequate. Would have been better had it been served at the correct temperature. Service - Terrible. When I tried to catch the waiter's eye, he scowled at me. Twice. Food might've been the correct temperature if he had served it when it was ready. Ambience - probably would be OK for dinner, but at lunchtime the place just looked worn out.They seem to have a thriving take away business, which is I think where they were putting their energy.Many better options within a block or two.

Stopped by for lunch on a moderately quiet Sunday afternoon. We had a 3-roll lunch special, Shrimp Pad Thai and a Naruto Roll. The rolls were fine but the Shrimp Pad Thai was overcooked and a bit mushy.Basic decor and the service was a bit slow even though it wasn't busy but very reasonable prices especially with the lunch specials.

Finally found a decent sushi spot near the office. Location is near the Canal St A/C/E station. Came because of the lunch special - we all got 3 rolls + soup/salad, which was plenty. The salad was good - the dressing was so delicious, kind of tangy and sweet. The sushi itself was good - not amazing, but hit the spot. And they gave a lot of options to choose from, not just the basic rolls. Our only qualm was the soy sauce - it tasted a bit on the sweet side. The place was bigger than I expected, but not at all crowded surprisingly for a Friday at noon. Service was a bit slow, but responsive when we flagged down our server. They even had fun drinks - I got the lychee martini. Overall a great value - we'll definitely be back!

(Overall: C) - We visited Takaki somewhat recently and tried a bunch of their appetizers and I went for the Sushi and Sashimi Combo as the main. I found that Tataki offers a plentiful amount of food, especially in that combo for under $30, while maintaining reasonable quality and freshness for this price. I did find that beyond their sushi and nigiri though, there were some technical flaws that could've been improved. This includes that the california roll was rather loose, the edamame is bland and undersalted, the siumai had minimal flavor, and the tsukemono were too chopped and a bit underwhelming.Beyond their food, I did find their atmosphere to be clean, but rather dim and the staff to be kind and attentive, albeit a bit slow. Overall, I found Tataki to be a middle of the road option.--Food: -1Presentation: EPrice: +1Atmosphere: EService: EMenu: EOverall: +0 CIG: @amei.eats

The food at the restaurant was average (chicken katsu was too dry), and the hot sake tasted sour. A group of us had called ahead of time to reserve a table for lunch, but when we arrived, the server seemed unaware of our reservation. The wait time was also longer than we had expected for a busy weekday lunch crowd. Furthermore, my friend's meal arrived when we were almost done with our own meals. Overall, I would not recommend this restaurant.

We came this place on our way to Chinatown. It was very dark, I could barely see the menu. The food took a long time to come out even though there was only one other table when we got there. We ordered chicken wings, which were pretty dried, the sauce was nice though sweet with a kick. Then it was the stir fried udon, it was saucy and sweet. I wouldn't order again. Then we got the roll comb C. Rolls are small but overall ok. Service was poor. We had to ask for everything we needed.

It's been ten years since I've been here for lunch! I can't remember a single thing but came here in part due to nostalgia and I forgot my lunch at home. The staff were efficient and nice. My food came out pretty fast. I got the lunch special of two rolls and a miso soup. It's a decent lunch, not the most amazing sushi but it'll do. Definitely trying the bento box next time!

Well tough call on the rating. Skeptical on sitting down based on the appearance. But was more than impressed with the sushi. The only reason for a 4 star was the service. A bit slow but the food made us for it. Only letting those know who expect immediate attention. Would rather have slow service and excellent food than the other options

Came here for weekday dinner. We ordered the Combo B and Combo D sushi rolls. Combo B contained Spicy Tuna, Salmon Avocado and Eel Cucumber Rolls. The spicy tuna and salmon avocado were average. Eel cucumber had too much cucumber and not enough eel. It basically tasted like a cucumber roll.Combo D contained Crunchy Spicy Tuna, Salmon and California Rolls. Everything tasted standard and not bad.

The salmon in the Philadelphia roll looked old and tasted old. Didn't eat and ai was disappointed
