Takara is decently priced, has decent portions, and decent service, but my overall impression was not that memorable.
I visited last night for a friend's birthday party. The host was gracious enough, but the waiter was rigid and slightly curt when taking our orders. I ordered Hibachi Chicken. This entree was $14, which is typical. The cook did not arrive until about 30 minutes after we ordered and did not dazzle us silly Americans with range of tricks that the other tables received from their chefs.
I was dismayed by the portions; smaller than what you find at Kabuto's and less veggies. I'll chalk up the deficiencies in service to being brand new, but the Hibachi entrees could afford to be bigger. This is an unpardonable sin in my book.
