Takuma has become one of my favorite spots for a reason. Every dish has lovely balance—blending umami, sweetness, and saltiness in a way that never feels overpowering. The service is professional, courteous, and attentive without being intrusive. You get the sense that the staff genuinely care about your experience. Cleanliness is clearly a top priority here.

We are regulars and here are the reasons why:
1. For when we want Japanese food but not necessarily sushi. Japanese fare is more than sushi, broaden your palate. The ginger pork, hand rolls, soba noodles, yakisoba, and sukiyaki are our go-tos. If you like okonomiyaki, one of the few places in Santa Monica that makes it.
2. Good variety of small and medium size plates to share.
3. Casual. Jeans and a shirt is our regular dinner attire.

We will definitely be coming back to try more from the menu. My son was so happy we found this little gem as Japanese food is his favourite.
