Takesushi was a great find - glad to have finally found a good, non-trendy sushi place in the financial district.
I went here for lunch during the week and the place was mostly reserved - good sign. They had a "daily special" plate out at the front which you could see before you buy - it consisted of sushi, sashimi, a roll and handroll.
The fish was fantastically fresh and was served quickly (good thing when you need to get back to the office). Presentation was great and the sushi bar was buzzing with action - the chefs looked happy and were friendly.
I had the daily special meal and it was more than enough to fill me for the day, but not over-stuff me like I sometimes tend to do when eating sushi.
I'm glad I found this place (it is not new, but I had never gone). The typical lunch sushi places downtown are not really my cup of tea. Takesushi feels more authentic and is less about the splash and more about a sushi meal should be.
Very good! I will be back!
