The Love Boat is loaded with so much fresh proteins (sashimi, nigiri, and rolls) that it made 3 of us completely satisfied. I also ordered seaweed salad as an appetizer - really good, I love the salad so much.

Not entirely the best sushi in the world, but I'd say it's the best in Madison. Authenticity aside, the ingredients are fresh, and service is not bad, either.

Very disappointing. I went here on Yelpers recommendations. What a mistake.

I got the shrimp tempura udon. The broth was flavorless. At least the tempura was cooked well. Also got a flying fish roe sushi. VERY FISHY TASTING.

Two of my friends and I that ate the shrimp got sick. POISONED. The other friend didn't eat the shrimp and was fine. Punk.

Beware. Be scared.

I have been there a few times now with family and friends. I am not a fan of raw fish but I do like California rolls a lot. They are different than regular grocery store sushi.  My husband is a fan of their Sashimi and some other things I can't remember. I am usually not a fan for Japanese food due to their blend taste but so far Takumi hasn't disappointed me yet.

I get the same

...damn

...thing

...EVERY TIME

I'm here!  It's just comforting; whether chillin' here alone, with my friend Jennie or taking an order home to go, it's the dinner sized Bento box with teriyaki chicken & shrimp w/ Miso soup and extra wasabi & rice.

Yummmmmm.  Spankii Style.

Go here.

Eat.

and LOVE it...

I was impressed with Takumi. Their miso soup is delish. I had the veggie cucumber and avacado rolls. Will go back again

I was pleasantly surprised with this restaurant! I have only had sushi here. A few we tried were: angel roll, crazy tuna, spider roll (I forget all we had!) and we were very happy with all of them. I also had very good miso soup [lots of wakame & tofu] The Sashimi [Tuna & Salmon] was soo fresh & they were big pieces!
The service was great.. had another Sapporo before my other was finished! The restaurant is very homey, nice & clean.    

I would recommend Takumi any day for sushi! Try out their specials!

having been on a budget for 4 months that doesn't allow for sushi, i was very excited to try Takumi.

i was impressed, pleased, and full when i left. the chefs were all very professional and seemed to be having a great time. the fish was very fresh. i was talked into the bluefin they had just gotten in that day and opted for the tuna as opposed to the toro (there was a $5 difference/piece) and it was very good. a smooth texture and very good color.

the other signature rolls (crazy tuna and sweet heart) were just as good. it was nice to try those new flavors, especially the seared tuna inside and spicy tuna with tempura crunchies on the outside.

we were also presented with a complementary crab stick salad (which also had tempura crunchies and a spicy mayo sauce) and were surprised by a desert consisting of a very delicately-balanced orange rind holding apple bits with a creamy honey sauce and the fruit of the orange on the side. i think it was their way of saying "thanks for spending so much!"

we got warm sake, five rolls, three pieces sushi and an order of gyoza for a total of $76. not bad at all, except our eyes were much bigger than our stomachs and we had happy friends to bring the leftovers to.

Best sushi place in Madison. Service is fast and very friendly. Fish is the freshest I've had in Madison. Price isn't bad for sushi.
