| - When my significant other suggested a late afternoon lunch at Takara today, I was a little skeptical. I'm very picky about where I will eat sushi, and I certainly wouldn't have immediately listed Monroe as a hot spot for said fare. However, I was reassured, cajoled, and eventually relented.
I'm glad I did. The inside of Takara is much classier than one would expect from its strip-mall location, and the food and service were excellent. The sushi lunch runs about $7 and includes a salad or miso soup. I chose the soup and it was excellent. The plate (as pictured above) was perfectly composed and included a California roll, an barbecued eel roll, and a shrimp roll, amongst other things. The barbecued eel was especially delicious, but everything on the plate was quite tasty.
I'll reserve my judgment of the dinner experience until later (given that they do the whole prepare-entree-at-table thing then), but Takara is a lunchtime winner.
