Reviews for Taku Japanese Steakhouse (Xenia) in Xenia, OH

We dined here for an early dinner with our kids. Pros: restaurant was very clean and our waitress was very nice. Cons: sushi... tasted low quality and wasn?t wrapped tight enough, shrimp was overcooked, some food came out warm and some came out cool?almostlike it was warmed up in a microwave. It didn?t taste or look fresh. It was 5pm on a Friday and we were the only ones there. Thefood at a basic level was edible which is why we just rolled with it, but it does not justify the price at all in my opinion. Wewould not recommend this place and we likely won?t go back.

My wife and I have been going here for a while. It was fantastic at first and the food is still good. The restaurant is clean as... well. My main issue is that service as totally dispersed. We have been in many times before with good experiences but the lastthree times were terrible. Appetizers come out after main courses, and the mains come out at drastically different times. I?mnot really sure why I would go out to dinner with my wife so we could eat separately because our meals come out 20min apart andthe appetizer arrives after her entrée. An experience like this once I could ignore and think someone was new or training butthree times over two months is different. The service is unfortunate because the food is good. Read more

Really good server very polite everything was heated and cooked just right my grandsons not a fan of broccoli but they had... something with broccoli that he loved and the fried cheesecake was delicious !! Read more

Good apps, good sushi (four seasons roll, I think), good server! Maybe not the "best" tuna sashimi, but definitely not too bad!... Also got a "Holy Water" and if you prefer sweet, fruity, and economical drinks, this is it! Read more

It was alright. Was excited to try this place out because it?s definitely different than any other place in Xenia at the moment.... Came with a friend. Got the California roll and the Philadelphia roll and they were certainly both on the small side but theywere good enough (what I would call good average sushi). Service was a bit curt - borderline rude honestly, sort of felt like wewere being rushed along. And I got a cup of the miso soup which was quite cold (honestly not luke warm, cold). Was torn between3-4 stars but decided to settle on 4 cuz the rolls themselves really were fine. Read more

One of my favorite places to eat now! I've been there 5 times in the past month! I've been waiting to eat the 'Taku Boat' and... got to today and it was amazing, if you like sea food you will sure like the 'Taku Boat'. But be careful because it's a very bigdish!!! Read more

Very good Steakhouse, the food was great, the service was great and I never liked sushi until I ate it here.

They serve hibachi but do not cook it in front of you which is ok with me. The fried rice is excellent and is very similar to... my mom's who is Thai. The hibachi chicken and steak are not overcooked and tough like at some places, and the meat is full offlavor. My husband thinks the miso soup has the best flavor out of all restaurants of this type. I agree it is very good andhas a rich meaty tasting broth. The lo mein noodles could use some extra flavor, but overall it is very good and dining area isalways clean. Read more
