TAKATO

We tried a little bit of everything. To drink, we had the Shikoku Margarita and the Golden Bee, and we started with the Duck Bao Buns. For our entrees, I ordered the Spicy Hotate Maki Roll and the Spicy Yellowtail Roll, and my boyfriend had the Chilean Seabass. The Spicy Hotate Maki was unreal! I had never tried scallop sushi before, and it was such a pleasant surprise. We finished with the Ube Cheesecake for dessert, do it! The service was fast, the drinks were great, and the restaurant itself is lovely with gorgeous beach views and a fantastic atmosphere. We went on a Wednesday night with a reservation, which felt necessary since the place was packed. Everything we ordered was fantastic, and our server, Yujeong, was delightful. We will definitely be back!

Takato was a great dining experience overall. We were able to snag an outdoor table. This restaurant has a great energy, good music, and a fun atmosphere. I also appreciated the mocktail menu! We ordered a plethora of menu items, starting with the wagyu crispy rice and hot hamachi, both were great. From there we moved into the truffle tofu, lobster roll, and kimchi tuna roll, they were all balanced and flavorful. We also ordered sake, maguro, and hamachi sashimi. The sashimi was good, not great, the texture of the fish was slightly off, leaning a bit chewy rather than the melt in your mouth quality you’d expect. We finished with the sushi ice cream Overall, Takato delivers on vibe, menu variety, and creativity. It has definitely evolved into a more tourist-heavy destination, and some of

Our server told me that almost all of the sushi rolls could be adapted to be gluten free, as well as the nigiri and sashimi, which was amazing to hear. We also ordered the shrimp fried rice gluten free. I’m not completely sure about cross-contamination protocols, but everything I tried was absolutely delicious. And I can’t forget about dessert — it was the best I’ve ever had in my life. It was a sushi-style roll with crispy rice on the outside, vanilla ice cream on the inside, and chocolate sauce on top!!!!!!!! Absolutely incredible!

We were very excited to try this restaurant. Since we get to this area very rarely, we really enjoy looking at reviews and deciding where to go for the few nights. Expensive by local standards, but everyone we spoke with assured us that it would be worth the price. Unfortunately our experience wasn't what we'd hoped for. The front staff were wonderful. They held exactly the table we had requested. The view of the ocean was wonderful too. There's something so soothing about looking at that big inexpans of water, we were delighted and excited. Our waiter, unfortunately, was in a bit of a rush. Not sure why, because he only had three tables from what we could see, but he was impatient and abrupt. We watched with envy as a waitress served several other tables calmly, smiling and speaking with

Our meal here was the best meal that we had in The Miami-Fort Lauderdale area in over a month's stay. The restaurant has a long raised patio overlooking the beach as well as a large dining room. It is located at the ground floor of the Conrad hotel. Service is attentive, prompt and friendly. The meal that we had consisted of Miso soup that was puping hot and very flavourful. A seaweed salad that was larger than expected and tasted great; rock shrimp tempura with aisle sauce that was very tasty and well done; tofu with (japanese) eggplant in truffle ginger soy sauce that was amazing and (2) bao buns with roasted duck. Each and every dish was exceptional and we will certainly be back on a future visit.
