Takeya Sushi Review

I've never tried this place so decided to go try. It's not very big in there so there are always line ups outside. We waited maybe 5 to 10 minutes, not too long. They apparently wipe the leather seats and it was still wet, a bit ew. Service was not bad.

We ordered aburi salmon battera ($15.45) , sakura roll ($9.95) and sesame chicken roll ($7.95).

My favourite roll was the aburi salmon . It had the most flavour of all. It had that melt in your mouth feeling. It would be nice if they had another layer of salmon in the middle. Some places do that.

Sakura roll was interesting to me since I've never had something like that before. It was like salty and sweet. I'm not sure why sakura flowers are always salty. It was like really salty. The roll itself was sweet because of the tamago. I thought it had a nice balance in flavour.

Rainbow roll was maybe my next favourite. It was a California roll with torched sashimi on top. To me, it lacked some taste and have to dip soy sauce.

My least favourite was the sesame chicken roll. Friend described it as chicken breast wrapped with rice. Yea, pretty much that but with a sesame sauce. I thought the chicken was well flavoured. It just lack a bit of creativity but it's ok.

Overall, it's alright but don't think I would try again. I tried everything I need to try. The rolls were quite pricey and only few pieces.
