Takuma Japanese Restaurant

This is the most amazing Sushi and Sashimi one can ever have! Try the rolls, try the Sashimi! Very fresh! Fried tofu is excellent! For dessert please try the fryed green tea ice cream!

The first time I went here was with my friend and his family. I was greeted very kindly from the staff. The food was incredible. They serve fresh soup and sushi. I now go here every week and have got to know the owner and she is a very kind hearted person. Highly recommend if you live in the Madison/Chatham area of NJ.

I have gone here for more than 12 years. Every time I go I am kindly greeted by the waitress and owner. This is absolutely the best restaurant I have ever been to because of the incredible food, service and overall authentic Japanese experience. The prices are low compared to the high quality of their food.

Great Authentic Japanese Food. Friendly folks, say hello to Otai-san owner and head sushi chef! Top notch traditional sushi & sashimi usually only available in NYC.

Got the Omakase dinners for my wife and me and they were a real treat! There are only a few Japanese restaurants in NJ that serve Omakase, usually you have to go to Manhattan for the meal.
The quality at Takuma was excellent. It reminded me a little of the food I used to get on my business trips to Tokyo.

One of our all time favorite spots, great sushi, the service is so friendly and their hibachi noodles are addictive. We order them every single time.

This restaurant is owned by Japanese chef. It means that we could have "real" and "genuine" Japanese cuisine.

The sushi and service were excellent! My order was fresh and tasty. Looking forward to visiting again soon.

My family and I have been going here for years. Every single time it’s 5-star food. The atmosphere needs a little updating, it feels like a diner, but you go here for the amazing sushi chef in lowkey digs. The service is always great too. It’s family run, support this place!

Delicious food! Family atmosphere! Friendly and helpful service! Sushi is fresh and out of this world! So happy this restaurant is within walking distance and downtown! Definitely a go to place!

If you're looking for authentic Japanese food, this is your place! Takuma offers sushi and sashimi with locally sourced high quality ingredients. This is a family run business and the owners are truly dedicated to the art and craft of traditional Japanese food. If I can make any suggestions, try the sushi and sashimi (obviously), the teishoku lunch or dinner box (you will have a sample of california rolls, tempura, shrimp shumai, miso soup), the Ginshiyaki (very flavorful salmon with vegetables), and the Nabeyiaki Udon (Udon soup with chicken and vegetables - great to warm up in wintertime)! Me and my husband eat there almost every other week!

There is no better sushi/sashimi in New Jersey. Food arrived quickly and the presentation was very pleasing. Cooked food is tops too. Friendly and eager staff are professional and do whatever it takes to please their clients.

Cozy place with authentic Japanese cuisine. Friendly service and great quality sushi and sashimi. Not many tables so may not be suitable for large groups.

This has to be one of my favorite sushi places I have gone to date. Family owned and run is the best way to go. The Toro was fresh, the rice was cooked perfectly. Couldn't recommend this place any more than I am already. (Also get the mochi! Aaaaaaaand great service!)

Having worked here for a short while I can say that the sushi is top notch. I love all the appetizers that are offered too, as they are very traditional. The owners are Japanese and are committed to serving in a manner very similar to that which Japan has to offer. Highly recommended.

Very good restaurant, lunch was fine.
Service was very pleasant and helpful
As it was raining, their offered us to take us back to our hôtel.

Really delicious sushi!

Super friendly staff. Best in Madison!

This has been my favorite place to get sashimi for the last ten years. Fish is always fresh. I love the eggplant with shrimp and the tonkatsu too.

The food is excellent, the service outstanding, and the prices fair. This was some of the best Japanese food I've had outside of Japan. I highly recommend the saba and the oshinko.

Great restaurant. The Sushi was amazing. I had the Chow Roll and the Madison Sweetheart Roll and they were both excellent. The decor was amazing and the service was great. Overall this was a very good restaurant.
