Reviews for Takka Sushi Bar & Grill in Santee, CA
This place is awesome, they always have a smile on their face. Menu items are discounted when you pay cash. The bento box is... huge and prices are great. The sushi is authentic and good as well. Very good vibes here. Read more
Heard this place had good sushi. First the service was horrible ( forgot to bring us our salads and green ice cream), took a... long time to get food that did come. Owners need to reevaluate their serving plan ( can be much more organized). The sushi wasaverage at best , I?ve had better at many other places. If you go with a group tip is automatically included, so if service wasbad you have no choice to give a lesser tip. We?ve decided not to go back. Read more

This place is here just to fill a void. I wanted sushi and this place was rated on Goggle as one of the highest in the area. -... Service was less than stellar that would rate less than a 10% tip. So a ?D? grade. - food was ok. Rolls were not wrapped rightand fell apart when trying to pick them up. The tempura had some weird batter on it and it wasn?t true tempura batter. I wouldgive it a ?C-?. - Atmosphere, an annoying loud lady and her kid sat behind me, which was bothersome. But there was nothingspecial or nice about the place. As least the dining area was clean. Hopefully the kitchen was clean too. A ?C? grade. Not surewhy this place rates so high. Maybe cuz it?s just decent average sushi for local Santee. But there are better places. Read more
Food was great, had 5 people In our party and would separate 3 tickets, would not let us pat separate. Then 2 of us tried to pay... cash for a 10% discount and would was told all of us had to pay cash. Total BS on the cash policy. Will not eat there again thecustomer service was very sub par. Yet the sushi was good. Read more
We've always enjoyed sushi, from when we met in 1982. We fondly remember so many sushi bars that have come and gone - Kazra's... downtown with the Shintu-priest proprietor whose voice was raspy from too many cigarettes, the Elvis-look-alike sushi chef atKinokawa in Chula Vista, the family who ran Kamon in La Mesa who brought Karaoke to San Diego. They have all come and gone, buttheir artistry remains firmly planted in memory. In our neighborhood, Covid seems to have done a number on our neighborhoodsushi bars. Tsuki Sushi has mysteriously vanished, Narumi is content with preparing Take-Out only orders and customers are nolonger welcome to dine there in person. Ahi Sushi is no longer our go-to as the nigiri becomes smaller and the hours postedonline are inaccurate, as we found out the hard way. Therefore, Takka in Santee, is like the glimmering gem spotted on thebottom of a pond. We went in last night and had an amazing experience. The sushi was super fresh, the albacore was so tasty,and they had fresh ikura! It's been two years since we had that! Suffice it to say, this is our new go-to sushi bar, thanks tothe prowess of sushi chef Jack and the rest of the staff. Excellent! Read more
First time trying this place out and it was really yummy sushi at a reasonable price (50% off of classic sushi rolls and 30% off... of specialty sushi rolls). The restaurant looked tidy and had a nice setting too. We ordered carryout, so I can't weigh in ontheir customer service too much. However, the interaction we had was your typical encounter. 10% off your bill if you pay withcash. Read more
I love sushi and sashimi. My wife loves ramen. Takka Sushi seems to have a mix of the stuff we both love and at more than fair... prices too. The staff seemed very friendly and attentive. The food came out and was well presented. You can tell that they careabout their dishes. For appetizers, we ordered the fried calamari ($10.95) which came out nearly stacked with a side of theirspicy dipping sauce. Loved it. Wish they added more sauce though. We also ordered vegetable tempura ($8.50). My wife orderedone of their udon ramen bowls. She enjoyed it very much. I can't remember which one she ordered. She also ordered their RainbowRoll ($17). I ordered their Spider Roll (soft shelled crab roll) ($17), the Hot Lips Roll (scallops and crab, spicy) ($17), andthe Sashimi Mix (9 pieces) ($16.95). I loved everything! You get 50% off of all classic rolls and 30% off of special rolls(dine in and to go orders). I will definitely be back, and will also be ordering food for lunch. I work from home and they arejust down the street. Thanks Takka Sushi! Read more
