Take Sushi Korean & Japanese Restaurant

This place is amazing - probably the best quality sushi in London. The service, however, is always slow - there's never more than one person making the sushi, even during the busy times. The private booths are definitely a plus, and the spicy rolls are ACTUALLY spicy, unlike most places. I'd probably eat there weekly if it wasn't so horribly overpriced.

My husband and I finally tried this restaurant after driving by it a few hundred times. That was at least 5 years ago. Now we are regulars there and always go when we want quality sushi. I myself work all over the continent and have tried many sushi places. This is one of my favourite places and it’s right in my home town. The three dishes I mentioned as my order are always fabulous. I have brought many friends here and they were all impressed and want to go back for lunch.

The staff is so friendly. They gave us a free sample of a roll that we hadn't tried last time we were there. They always recognize us and say hello.

My only criticism is the condition of the bathrooms downstairs. They are clean, but it would really help if they updated them.

Other than that I would highly recommend someone trying this restaurant. We will continue going back regularly.

We went here on Canada's day because we were craving some sushi and decided to give this restaurant a try from the abundant number of good reviews seen on this site. We were truly disappointed at our food. As sushi buffs, we have had our share of unbelievable and poor quality sushi. This would rank closer to the poor side. The rice had too much vinegar to begin with and the soy sauce was not of the quality expected in a standard westernized sushi restaurant. The price would have been fair if the sushi was good, but it was not. We will not be returning.

Take is our staple at valentine's day, the food is great and a lot, and the service is pretty good. The booths are great for privacy and to shut out some of the usual restaurant noise.

The problem of the restaurant is that it needs some tlc and updating. It shows it's age a bit.

Still, we've been there many times and will continue to go back. In all our times going there we've only had one bad experience, because they were being really slow, but it was only the once and they seem to have fixed things because on Valentine's day they were pretty packed and we still got all of our food in a really reasonable time.

When I weigh the pros and cons this is still a restaurant that I will keep on my list of good food finds in town.

Food was good, service was pretty good (server elbowed a couple of diners in the head trying to get the bbq lit when it was malfunctioning - not a big deal, just not alot of attention to service.) The entire menu is WAYYYYY overpriced. Nothing on that menu approaches being worth what is being charged. Certainly not in a restaurant that hasn't been updated since the 80s. I LOVE the idea of private rooms, but if you can't be bothered keeping them modern, at least keep the cheap wood paneling clean! The rooms missed the mark on quaint and were just shabby. Again, the food is really good and if you don't mind being overcharged for dining in a old run down restaurant then by all means, try it out - you'll enjoy your meal at least. I can't help thinking there is better value elsewhere in London, though.

I wake up in the night craving their philadelpha rolls. best sushi ever!

wonderful! My friend had just got back from a business trip to tokyo and felt like reliving the experience at home. We tried this restaurant (recommended by a japanese coworker of mine) and according to my friend as good as in japan. Very fresh sushi the best I've ever had and the service was wonderful. The restaurant was like a traditional japanese restaurant (private booths..really great felt like we were'nt in Canada for lunch.

The Korean dishes were very tasty and flavourful! The service was friendly, but very slow because apparently it was a busy night.

Terrific food and service!

The most authentic Korean and Japanese restaurant you will find in London. Experience Korean barbecue--it is such a neat idea! You cook the meat over a coal grill in a private tatami room with just your guests. Will definately come back again!
