I like this place. The sushi is delicious and fresh, and they have some cool, imaginitive rolls. Prices are reasonable too. Even when they are busy - the service is quick and the sushi comes out in a timely fashion. Great place for sushi in Madison area, near the Towne mall.

Very crowded on Sat. night.. reservation required. I was able to get a seat at the sushi bar and was happy there. Loved my meal..shrimp and vegetable tempura appetizer, salmon roll and shrimp tempura roll. Great service despite the crowd. Really enjoyed it!

This is the kind of places that makes you comeback again and again. I eat here at least once every two months. Great attention, diversity on the menu. The food always amazing. They make specials almost every week. I recommend this restaurant!

Discovered Takumi when our out of town visitors put in Japanese restaurant in Madison in Google. We tried sushi, salmon, tonkatsu and steak and loved them all. We went back a second time on Friday night and despite a torrential cold rain storm the restaurant was crowded. We arrived at 5p and took the last table. Most definitely a must... More

A couple of years ago we replaced our Friday night fish fry with sushi. We went to Takumi and have going there ever since. We love their rolls and now compare everything else we get to them. The nori is always fresh and tender, the service is always friendly, and they're very accomodating with special requests. We love taking groups... More

2nd visit to this location and although most everything was good, I was a little disappointed by the California rolls. I dined alone and waited about 15 minutes for them to reopen for dinner at 430, although this is typical at some Japanese Restaurants. I sat at the sushi bar and had to wait a bit for a server and...

I like the atmosphere, and service is good, but their sushi is average. Fish is not the freshest, specially if what you want is sushi and not rolls. They have good sesame seaweed salad and cooked rolls.

I went there for an anniversary, and it was my first time in an upscale dining atmosphere. Definitely different for your typical Asian restaurant. There are private kotatsu dining for larger parties and a sit-down sushi bar. The food was so good, expensive, but worth it. It's a new way to experience Asian dining.

Some of the best Japanese food I have had. The atmosphere and staff are just as good as the food. I really like their sushi, I can't get enough of it.

Given Madison's lack of proximity to the ocean, I was quite skeptical when my colleague proclaimed that he wanted sushi for dinner. We stumbled upon Takumi and I was pleasantly surprised that the food was actually quite good! We had the seaweed salad and shumai to start, and then had the soft shell crab, crunch 2 and alligator rolls. The... More
