We ate at several places during our stay in Marathon and didn't have a bad experience at any of them. Takara, however, was our favorite by far. The food was outstanding and Sue is a sweetie. Our waiter was a lot of fun, though we didn't get his name.

Because of it's less than flashy appearance and less than ideal location, it would be easy to miss this great place, but do yourself a favor and don't.

Best crispy duck ever!!!...will cook anything on their menu specifically to your wants and needs. Real cheap compared to its actual value. A 5,000 out of 100/must try right now!!!

While on vacation here in marathon for 2 weeks we visited Takara 5 times total. 4 times for dinner and 1 time for lunch. (they're open for lunch 11am-2pm).
This was definatelly our favourite place to eat here. We tried a handfull different dishes and all of them were awesome. We love thai food, but realy enjoyed GOOD thai food.
I have to admit that i had one of absolutelly best dishes in my entire life. It's called Pad Prick and i had it with beef. Simply awesome. My girlfriend enjoyed sweet and sour seafood combination twice. Sushi we had for lunch were very good, fresh and large.
It's a family run business and that's why it's just good. Service is very good, place makes you feel like at home. The owner's make you feel like you're their family.
Place is closed on sundays.

Takara is a tiny place with island-typical pseudo-wood table & vinyl chairs. The atmosphere is definitely relaxed and they offer a range of sushi and Thai standards. We were impressed that the chef was able and willing to prepare a Thai dish not on the menu and it was delicious! The Thai food is authentic and very good. Prices were reasonable, at $13 for a curry dish. My seafood curry had a great assortment, with scallops, octopus, muscles, etc. Takara is not a place for great atmosphere, but the food was outstanding and the service friendly and good.
