No mercy. We showed up with a reservation. We didn’t even need a reservation as the place was about 3/4 empty. We sat down and proceeded to look over the menu. As the place has a policy related to younger kids being allowed we thought there would be some sort of kids menu…I mean it is Disney after all. Since there was no kids menu and my 5 year old was already complaining about hungry and nothing on the menu for them. We told the waiter that since there was nothing for the kids we needed to leave. They then proceeded to charge us $100/person for canceling our reservation. In addition to this my step mother had nothing available on the menu for her. That was 4/7 people that had nothing to eat. I called Disney dining and billing and they said there is nothing they can do as it is a 3rd party establishment. This was the first day of our vacation and it has officially been ruined!

Me and my boyfriend went to Takumi Tei for his birthday and it was such a treat for both of us! Our server, Sakura was so sweet and so knowledgeable. She was always smiling and made us feel so welcome! We left with full bellies and hearts! Highly recommend Takumi Tei for any special occasion.

PLEASE do not eat here - this may be the worst meal I’ve ever had. Out of respect for the staff, we tried our best to enjoy the food and find positives in the experience, but I was gagging at times, finding it difficult to swallow the food. We are adventurous eaters, will happily pay for an expensive meal, and adore Japanese cuisine, but this was difficult to stomach - literally. We learned that it is a third party company, not owned or managed by Disney, which explains the shocking experience…
THE a5 wagyu WAS TO DIEE FOR. I am still thinking about it...came for a friends bday. It was such a special dinner and something I won't forget, Takumi-Tei isn’t just dinner—it’s an experience. And if you’re ready to splurge at Disney… this is the way to do it.

Had a delicious dinner here with excellent above and beyond service. Food was fresh, intricately prepared, definitely showing time, finesses, care and skill. Would highly recommend it as a special occasion dinner. We have been to several high end Japanese restaurants and the fare here is absolutely top notch.

A first time Omakase experience for me. The restaurant was incredibly cozy and quiet. Beautiful interior and incredible service. Our server was very attentive and knowledgeable with the food being served. It's a multicourse course dining experience and by the end spent roughly 2 hours dining. Some items might have been a little too experimental for us, but otherwise we were very impressed by the food. The A5 Wagyu is simply out of this world. A little on the pricey side to note (we spent $250/person not including cocktails and tip), but definitely worth the experience. You will not be disappointed.

This is more than a meal, it is a dining experience and an immersion in to Japanese hospitality. The staff from the moment you check in are ambassadors for their culture. They are well versed in their cuisine and the history of their country.
One of the best meals ever- 7 courses, excellent service!
What an amazing personal experience!!! Bring your better half here to enjoy an intimate dinner or celebrate your birthday or anniversary.
I encourage you to immerse yourself in Japanese cuisine and dine like the Bushido did hundreds of years ago!

Superb omakase meal. We had the new menu that just launched (12/24). The staff were very careful to explain the omakase concept and price structure. (We have been to Japan and also eat at NYC Japanese restaurants frequently, so no problem.) It appears some guests have confused this place with the sushi or the teppanyaki restaurants there.
The sashimi course (second course) was delicious. I loved the fried red snapper served with maitake in broth (course 4). We had the A5 wagyu steak with an onion ponzu sauce ($35 upcharge) that was tender and a perfect medium rare. Two piece nigiri and red miso was just right for course 6 because by that point I was so full I could barely eat another bite.
We had the sake pairings which went with the courses beautifully. Our server was fantastic and all the staff were extremely pleasant and helpful. (Thanks, Keiko!) Decor was very attractive as well. Expensive and worth it. With tax and tip was about $500 pp.
Moat authentic and fresh food at Disney. True hidden gem!
We loved this place so much great for mixed Omni/vegan crowd. Wish I could give it a 5.
$250 per person….a joke
Some of the kindest people putting their best service forward. Unfortunately all of the kindness in the world could not make up for the absolutely awful food. The waygu beef was tasteless and served in a cold gelatinous broth. For a family of 5 we spent $2100! This was the most expensive meal we have ever had and we are accustomed to amazing and expensive food. We felt totally taken advantage of by this disastrous experience knowing that this “restaurant “ wouldn’t survive out of a Disney theme park for 2 months with food and prices like this. Most disappointing meal our family has ever had.
