Taka - Asbury Park

Great place for a date night. Tasted good and good service. I would def come here again.

Great food, ambiance is perfect, and always exceptional service and hospitality. Never disappointed

Great vibe, great bar and Great spot for lunch! We were a group of 6 and based on the generous portions served, were able to sample a decent amount of dishes which were each very good! Shishito Peppers, Shumai, Ribs, various rolls and the hidden treasure the Hamburger and Fries!!! Totally did not expect a great burger from this restaurant, but unless this is your first time here in which case you MUST sample the Asian specialties I would highly recommend the burger and crispy fries!

Taka has a wonderful staff and their vodka/sake martini is ultra-phenomenal, but the sushi is the same as one would expect just about anywhere. With the exorbitant sushi prices, I thought the maki, nigiri, and sashimi would be a step above but that didn't happen. Yes, the rolls were large but the flavors were weak. The worst part: The nigiri is roughly have the size as one would expect. In fact, they seemed to have been crafted for kids in lieu of adults. At most restaurants I've ventured into, sashimi comes in 3 pieces. Ata Taka, you only get two pieces and they are quite small. Even so, the mackerel was memorable. I would only recommend a roll or two from here, but if you're going for drinks, the bartenders really know what they are doing. Unfortunately, the atmosphere is lackluster.
