Takato never disappoints. Food and staff were amazing. We had lamb chops,sea bass, kimchi fried rice, shrimp fried rice, California roll, spicy tuna roll, yellowtail sashimi, machine, chocolate lava cake, specialty martini, cosmo, and a spicy margarita. Everything was amazing. The only bad part is this place seems to attract screaming kids with entitled parents with no regard and don't do anything. Not that the restaurant can help that but it is frustrating and definitely has an effect on the ambiance. Regardless, this is definitely one of the top restaurants in Ft. Lauderdale with amazing sushi and so much more.

Amazing birthday dinner with my husband! Service 10/10 and food was delish. DJ created awesome vibes, love the decor and ambiance. Only thing I would recommend is to have a cashless option to purchase hookah.
