Takara offers a wonderful variety of rolls and sides delivered via conveyor belt. The fish was all incredibly fresh and flavorful with unique combinations coming around every 10 minutes or so. We paid about $30/person and it's all you can eat, so bring an appetite to make it worth your while.

Another great order of sushi! One day I'll dine in the restaurant but take out is super easy and equally delicious.

All you can eat sushi was not worth the price. Sushi was generally low quality and often there would be mostly fruit and desserts on the conveyor belt.

We'd never been to an all-you-can eat, conveyor belt, sushi restaurant before. So, the novelty was fun. The food was good and the saltwater aquariums were gorgeous. However, if you're not big eaters, it may be less expensive to order from the menu. There are also things on the menu that aren't offered on the conveyor belt (such as tempora, which we love). And before you go, know that if you don't finish what's on the plates you take from the conveyor belt, you'll be charged $1 per unfinished plate.

Takara Whitney Way has always been my family’s go to Japanese restaurant, and it’s a pretty popular lunch carry out spot in my office now. The food is not only good, but the prices are extremely fair and the food always comes out really consistent. With the hibachi lunches/dinners, bento boxes, and most importantly sushi, I’ve never had a bad order in the 50-100 times ordering. They’ve also massively improved their carry out wait times, which was the one complaint I had maybe 4-5 years ago.

The sushi belt was great, all you can eat special on Sunday afternoon was brilliant, othertimes they offer the belt but check the times they offer this if your interested.
The other offerings on the menu include a variety of sushi rolls, hibachi and appetizers. Their beverage selection is good but their service is a bit lacking when it comes to getting a refill.
The flavors and quality of food are amazing, we left very full and very happy each visit so far.

Love the food and the staff! We've been coming here for 17+ years. Highly recommend!!!
Went in a Thursday night dinner, staff were great, it was slow only 3 other group eating. We got veggie sushi’s and they were good. Our entrees however were very mid, it was pretty bland and only had a soy sauce taste. I got the udon veggie and tofu teriyaki, they tasted the same like one soy sauce bottle was used to make both dishes. My friend got the tonkastu and she said it was a good basic tonkastu. I had high expectations but was a little disappointed. I left with the food in a to go box because I had to stop eating and felt bad leaving all the food there.

$75 (including tip) for two people at dinnertime, all you can eat CONVEYER BELT SUSHI. They'll also come to the table (eventually) and ask you if you want specific things).
It took them a while to come talk to us, and I'm too scurred to be walking around looking for people in a restaurant 😭
Photo is how much we ate; 1.5 hour time limit, but we got full after like 30 minutes—it don't stop folks, the food keeps coming: more food than you could ever eat.

Food was delicious, server was courteous and came over a few times checking in. You have the option of ordering the conveyor belt sushi buffet, ordering a specialty roll, or something off the grill like Salmon Hibachi. All the food was delicious. I would say the conveyor belt sushi doesn't seem to have as exciting rolls as you can order but still a cool experience!

The order was placed as to go so I can not comment on service or ambiance.
However, all rolls for two people were delicious and fresh. The Maki Combo is best value for your money. Miso soup is tasty. Shrimp dumplings are wonderful as well.
An update from visit on 05/27/23. By looking at all negative review fee have substance. Most people who leave those never had or will ha be their own business. So easily to spit on someone else work and livelihood. If restaurant is empty I’d be delighted. No long wait times or loudness. The food was served fresh and incredibly tasty. The interior is absolutely beautiful in comparison to most other sushi places in Madison. Highly recommend. These people work hard to service us delicious food they specialize on.
An update from all you can eat experience: Despite many negative reviews we greatly enjoy all you can eat. Be aware that $34.95 will include service charge of $6.50. We were told that is a tip so you’ll pay upwards $43. All items were fresh, the rolls were diverse and constantly coming. Despite this being after 7pm on Saturday. Well worth as you can pay more like $60-70 at a different sushi place if ordered off menu. The rolls were from vegetarian to fresh salmon and tuna with plenty of fish in the rolls. Not rolls were basic. Highly recommend. We were pleasantly surprised.
All you can eat - Friday through Sunday 4pm-8pm.
