Takara 88 - Middleton

We ordered the $50 omakase sushi and two pieces of sushi a la carte. The miso soup that came with it was good. A little more tofu would have been nice. I was surprised how long it took for the sushi to come on a not very busy Friday night for dine-in. I suppose they had a lot of take out orders or something. The sushi platter was also fine. Nothing too exciting here. The fish was fresh enough but left juice on the plate which wasn't the most appetizing. The mixture ofsashimi and sushi was good. I would have liked a roll without cream cheese, though. Cream cheese doesn't really scream omakase in my mind so I wouldn't have thought to say I didn't want it. Regardless, it was still good. Some smallnegative things we experienced. The dish for soy sauce was dirty when it was served. It looked like cream cheese or something. And then a fruit fly landed in our soy sauce. Speaking of bugs, the windowsill was full of dead ones. Our wobblytable was supported by napkins. We were told 30 minutes after ordering that they didn't have sea urchin. It would have been nice to know sooner. In all, this meal was fine. We liked it enough but feels like the attention to detail is kindof lacking for the dine-in experience. We would probably just get take out next time.

Really amazing place! Very friendly staff. Also fast service, and delicious sushi. I recommend the gyoza dumplings and miso soup.

Really good! Great price for how much we got. Wouldn't do the beef wrap thing again. There was more I forgot pics before I eat lol.. Yummy!

This place is a solid 4.5, and the only reason I'm not giving it a 5 star is because we have Red in Madison.

Nice convenient location in MiddletonWe were greeted by a very friendly man and our server was sweet.
