I ordered the lunch special - chicken teriyaki bento box. The lunch special came with miso soup, dumplings, orange slices, meat of choice, rice, and a california roll. The California roll's avocado was browning, but it didn't make the roll taste any different. It was okay. The dumplings were served at a cool/room temperature. They were definitely not warm. I didn't even touch the rice or chicken teriyaki, because the rice smelled and tasted like it sat overnight in the rice cooker. It had a musty, watery smell and taste to it. The chicken teriyaki was served with raw veggies drizzled with room temperature sauce. The veggies were not even freshly cut. It looked like the 1 carrot and the 1 broccoli was pulled from a snack veggie bag. The sauce looked disgusting because it had 2 very different, distinct colors. After one bite of the rice and chicken teriyaki I was done with the meal. The most delicious thing in my lunch were the fresh orange slices and miso soup. I took a picture of how displeasing the food looked and tasted. Sadly, Takara 88 has been consistently disappointing (previously visited and ordered unflavored sushi). I would not recommend the lunch specials or this restaurant.
