UPDATE: Unfortunately, they no longer have the all you can eat menu. This is very disappointing as it was our favorite in the area with the best quality sushi. We loved being able to try so many new things without having to worry about paying for something we don't like. It was the main reason we would go, and sadly we need to find a new all you can eat restaurant. Don't get me wrong, I do LOVE this place. I've been coming since it opened and tell everyone I know about it, because it truly is the best quality sushi. Please bring back AYCE. I'd rather pay more for it than to not be given an option at all. I hate to have to find somewhere else to go and tell all the people I raved about it to that it's no longer available. :(

Sushi amazing, hibachi not so great. I ordered a sushi roll and the scallop hibachi. Sushi absolutely delicious. Hibachi was not good. My scallops were FLAT and thin and the flavor of the sauce was watery and bleh. For the price paid it should've been better quality. The restaurant is clean and service was great. Very attentive staff. Located right next to Publix.

This is a best kept secret in Lutz. The food is on point. I tried to salmon hibachi and I could have easily eaten the rice and vegetables by itself that's how well seasoned it was. The service was pretty good too. My wife said that the sushi was good. I would have given it a 5 but the ambiance was a little too quiet. They needed to have the music on a little louder. I'll go back though and try the green tea ice cream which I sampled.

First time here and we were impressed!! They have a wide range menu that I would like to come back and try again! Today, we were here for the sushi!! We were the only ones there, and the service was super quick! Our appetizer (Krab Rangoon) came out quickly. They were good, but I felt like these were "frozen" because the insides were lukewarm. I didn't get that they were "homemade". The sushi was phenomenal!! The volcano roll was overflowing with baked crab, which is our absolute favorite! We also got Sexy on the Beach and it was also full of flavor and different textures, which I really enjoyed.

My wife and I had heard about this new sushi place in Lutz and of course we had to try it. They are still in their soft opening. The menu is very good in terms of both kitchen prepared dishes and sushi. Their sushi selection is the the most extensive I have seen in awhile. My wife ordered the Spring salad which was large with a ginger dressing that was very good. She also ordered the Snoopy and Volcano rolls. The Snoopy roll was great! Loved it. The Volcano roll was just ok.I had the Sushi dinner which was 8 pieces of chef's choice and a California roll with choice of salad or Miso soup. The selections were good. They didn't give any of the super inexpensive sushi like Krab stick or Shrimp. 2 Tuna, 2 Salmon, 2 white fish, 1 Octopus and 1 Mackerel. All nice sizes, very fresh and the Miso soup was excellent. I had also ordered Smoke Salmon sushi and a Yellow Tail Jalapeño hand roll and asked that they add Massago to the roll, which they did. The hand roll was fantastic. While we waited for our order, they brought out a Krab and cream cheese tempura roll for us to share. It was good and a very nice gesture. The waiter came back and asked if we would be ok if they served the sushi on a single platter. Sure. What they did was put all the sushi on a boat which was was super impressive! Picture attached. The prices were fine, no concerns there. Service was ok as they did get busy with several groups of 4 plus. Overall we were super pleased with the quality of the sushi and the extensive menu. We look forward to coming back very soon.

Why did I choose this place?Because Takara is the company that makes Transformers in Japan! (Editor: This is why you don't have a girlfriend.)There was a Takara Sushi on Bruce B Downs from 2013-2018 close to my house, but apparently there is no relation like Babs and Buster Bunny.Anyway, Takara is in the same plaza off Van Dyke and Dale Mabry as Kohl's , Publix, Subway, and Panni's grill. The restaurant looks small from outside but is more spacious when you enter. Parking is easy due to being in a big plaza.The motif is black and white and dark brown with some Japanese artwork. There is a sushi bar section and regular booths/tables.Since it is relatively new, there was only one couple and me on a Sunday evening. The service was great. They even gave me a "Cheese and Cracker" appetizer sample for free which was a nice touch.. It was a cheese tempura item with some sauce. 4/5I ordered 3 rolls and a soda. The presentation was great -served on a wooden board with some orange slices and some petals. I ordered a spicy tuna, eel and avocado, and a lobster roll. The prices were fair and the fish was fresh. The spicy tuna was a bit mushy, but good. I think Yoshi Sushi is my favorite of the Tampa places that I've been to , but Takara is pretty good with no major faults. 4/5As of this review, they have no alcoholic drinks such as beer or sake. Hopefully, they consider it in the future. In other reviews, other folks kept talking about fried oreos , but I didn't see that on the menu. The desserts consist of various ice creams and fried cheesecake. Beverages include fountain sodas, Thai Thea, and Japanese sodas.It's also nice that it is open Sundays. I think this would be a great date night place for people in the Carrolwood or North Tampa area.

First time eating here since it opened. The shrimp tempura app was poorly prepared. Shrimp I covered in a thick panko crust not a light airy tempura batter one had expected and it arrived at the table luke warm as evidently it sat in the kitchen. Couldn't finish the six pieces of overcooked shrimp. Uninspired nigiri sushi. Ordered several nigiri sushi. Small pieces of fish on very cold sushi rice. Octopus nigiri very tough as it had not been tenderized properly.Might be worth a second try before I give up on the place.
