Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Tako is a vibrant fusion hotspot in San Diego's Old Town, praised for its "hip and vibey" atmosphere. Guests love the "fantastic" cocktails and standout dishes like the XXX Roll and Crispy Tuna Plantains. While the ambiance is lively with a DJ, it can be "too loud" for conversation.

    We were traveling from Seattle and Chicago. As vegan, we highly appreciated this restaurant had options for us that were not just salad. Food tasted good, portion size was good. Nice views. Overall, a great experience!

    The pre-set menu was not advertised on their site or through them before we arrived, and it was extremely pricey for the quality of food and size portions served. The drinks were all overtly sweet with more time spent on how it looks instead of the taste, the courses were hit or miss, and the desert was a “matcha cheesecake” that was a bland plain cheesecake seemingly from a grocery store with matcha powder on-top that arrived still frozen. Save your money!

    atmosphere, drinks and music were great but was a little disappointed with the menu. i made reservations online 2 weeks prior and no where online or on the reservation did they mention there was going to be a select menu. once we were seated we were just handed the menu without any information. no big deal we decided to try something new. the first 3 courses were amazing, came out quickly and we enjoyed. once we got to the 4th course it went down hill a bit. the courses were taking a very long time to come out so by the time we got to the 6th course we were full. there was an 1.5 hour time limit but yet it took them 2.5 hours just to serve us. other tables around us were also disappointed not being able to order off the regular menu. would go back for some drinks and a roll or two but never again for a special occasion or holiday. Definitely not worth 125$ per person

    The roles all were just imitation crab meat and we're honestly not the best quality tasting roles. I thought like this was more of over the top club or sushi place. The food is not the best tasting. It was pretty dang loud in there with club music as well and not really what I was wanting for dinner and the price was pretty outrageous for what you got especially when it came to quality. The only good thing about the place was our waiter he did a fantastic job.

    Cute ambiance, the appetizers were good, but the sushi was mediocre. The rice was cold/hard. I would go back for drinks and appetizers.

    Non-traditional sushi experience without sacrificing quality. Inventive fusion menu and they still nailed the basics. The food was amazing. Specifically, the chirashi bowl was incredible - a generous portion of fresh fish. I will be back.
