Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Tako offers a vibrant dining experience with "fresh fish" and "interesting menu." The trendy atmosphere and creative cocktails are highlights, although the "music is just too loud" for some. Service is generally friendly and attentive. While sushi quality varies, standout dishes like the "Crispy Tuna Plantains" receive rave reviews.

From the esthetics to the food and drinks, Tako was the best experience in SD! We try a new place every week and this place is hands down the best and already making reservations to go again!

This place was terrible unfortunately. We were so excited to go. It looks really cool when you walk in. We made it through one appetizer and it was a straight up half frozen piece of sliced tuna - was not even edible. Thayer was super nice though. He took it off the bill. We left having one bottle of sake and Adam and it was $80. All the roles are imitation crab. I don’t think they have real fish. Definitely not a sushi spot. It’s advertised.

The sushi was very fresh and delicious but in my opinion, the DJ should not start until after 9:30 PM. That would increase the likelihood of people wanting to go for a nice dinner who maybe aren’t yet into the club vibe. But overall, a very fun experience.

The sashimi and the rolls were very fresh. And Tako has some really yummy small bites. Love the crispy plantains. The DJ was excellent but be prepared as it’s not a place for quiet conversations.
