I really love the food here but disappointed when I came In today And immediately the bartender said, these seats are reservation only…. At the bar. Also, there were TWO people at the bar and all the other seats were empty. I planned to order food to go and grab a drink while waiting for my food to go, after a long stressful day…. I have done this many times there, never a problem but reservations at any bar ….. especially an empty one at 6pm 😂 that is how you lose money. I am
Next door at lockheart where it is welcoming and friendly and you can Never go wrong, having a cocktail while I wait for my food I ordered to go. Sadly, will not return to Takara Wellesley.

We would give Takara 6 stars if we could! This is the best sushi restaurant in the area we come here as a family many times and love the food and service every time! The quality of the fish is great and they are always super fresh! The sushi boat is such great deal (we got too excited and ate a few pieces before taking this picture)! The people here are also so friendly and kind, always making sure we have the best experience =)

I really enjoyed the lunch and the service. The bathroom was a bit dark and difficult to use

Wheelchair accessibility: The wheelchair access is in The front of the restaurant around the corner from the parking lot, so if you're not familiar with it, it can be difficult to find

Definitely the worst crab rangoons I’ve ever had. They tasted stale, they were so hard to chew… such a bummer!

It was a lot of low grade rolls, such as spicy "something", tempura or crab.

I was hesitant to try this place. I very rarely give sushi restaurants a chance if they are below 4 stars just due to wanting to avoid food poisoning but something about this place had me feeling things would be better than 3.9 stars. Looking through the window there was a big lunch crowd, the decor and atmosphere looked lovely and the menu was exciting to me.I’m happy to give this place 5 stars. They are way better than a 3.9 .I was given a complimentary appetizer while I waited for my main course. The staff was kind, the decor was modern and welcoming. They had no problems with my request to add something to my meal and made it look easy. I would certainly come back here.If I could give my thoughts on how this place could go above and beyond I would urge them to remain humble. I get the sense the staff feels the 3.9 rating is not justified which unfortunately will mean there’s potential they will miss opportunities to become the best of the best.Service wasn’t as buttoned up as you’d hope for the price point. I’d recommend they ensure there is always someone front of the house checking in. I was left without service for large gaps of time with the whole staff back in the kitchen. This should be a priority to address.I’ve seen others comment on cleanliness. I don’t think this is a concern in a good safety way at all but if they want to keep the 5 stars coming I’d recommend their sushi station be less cluttered. Removing the toaster ovens from the customers view and aHere’s to hoping more 5 stars follow from here and that they continue to seek improvement. I’d urge customers not to be quite so harsh on small businesses like this. Provide feedback that is realistic and allows them to grow. Bombing them with a 1 star should be reserved for truly extreme situations
