Sushi Taketa offers a popular all-you-can-eat experience known for fresh ingredients and a wide variety of menu items, particularly during lunch and weekend services. While many patrons praise the quality of the food and the efficiency of the service, there are mixed experiences regarding consistency, as some diners have noted fluctuations in food quality, slower service during peak times, and concerns regarding tipping policies. The atmosphere is generally described as welcoming, though some customers have reported issues with staff attentiveness, organization, and communication during busier shifts. Overall, it remains a go-to spot for many in the West Island, though experiences can vary depending on when the visit occurs.
I was here 3 times in 1 week because I enjoyed it so much! Need I say more? LOL They have a great selection of foods, lived the miso soup, wonton soup, general Tao chicken, pork dumplings, pan fried dumplings, hosomaki... & they have delicous Japanese drinks to enjoy as well. Oh, & their desserts are delightful! Including a warm sesame ball with red beam paste inside, a warm custard ball, & 5 varieties of ice cream including my 2 favorites, Green Tea, & Red Bean. Such a treat!
I've visited this restaurant many times, especially on weekends, & the difference in service between Saturdays & Sundays is surprising. The young hostess with glasses who works Saturdays repeatedly tells me booths are reserved-even when I have a reservation-but then the booths stay empty the whole shift... She often refuses to seat two people at booths, & makes people switch tables halfway through an order, once forcing us (2 people) to sit at half a makeshift cramped table next to a very noisy & loud group. This happened when the restaurant was only half full. In contrast, the Sunday hostess is far more accommodating, always giving us comfortable seating (either a booth or a quiet table) & clearly explaining how to order instead of being like the other waitress who slaps the QR receipt on the table & walks away. I recommend visiting on Sundays for a better experience. The food is decent though.
I have gone there 6 times in less than 2 months & spent over $250 ea visit. The sushi is amazing, variety is great, & each bite is an adventure. The experience is overshadowed, every time, by the terrible attitude of the young girl at reception girl with glasses. She is unable to adequately assess & assign proper seating to ANYONE. She ALWAYS tries to squeeze uncomfortably many people into the small 4 people booths. When asked to be placed in a proper setting, she gives attitude & mocks the table & clients with her colleagues, to the point of discomfort throughout the meal. Only to be imposed a 15% tip, despite her disrespecting people prior to the beginning of the meal & the entire meal. She & her colleagues make clients feel uneasy & wondering,'did they spit in my food'. On my 6 visits, she had to reseat as many as 4 tables for the same reasons each time. I, myself, complained 6 times for the same, to no avail. My last visit, I not only accepted the 15% tip, I paid more, 22%, to give myself the right to speak my mind to an undeserving waitress that was sent as bait to deliver the bill. Let's see if that antisocial behavior keeps happening or will she learn some well needed social skills before she gets a taste of her own medicine on the next visit & asked to pay the clients for improper service. It's employees like this that kill a good business !

We tried this AYCE after hearing about it through other friends. We waited at the door for 10 mins before anyone even saw us & sat us down even tho there were multiple tables empty. It wasn't as good as we thought it would be. Some of the sushi's were just not good tbh & we weren't too impressed with the options of sushi's either. We ordered soups that were actually cold. The dinner menu is better than some other AYCE but if you're going to specifically for sushi I don't know about that. I wouldn't go back again honestly because I've had much better AYCE. The price is fair. We had to constantly call back one of our waiter for multiple things that he would forget.
Absolutely delicious, freshly prepared & at your table in the blink of an eye. The custard pastries are the best, though unfortunately they don't make the beef teriyaki the way they used to. Still great, though!
