I have been going to Takara since 2006. I no longer live in NY as I did when I discovered them, but I always make it a point to go back when I visit as does the rest of my family. Their sushi is the best I have ever had in the US. I really enjoyed the presentation - whether... More

We gave Takara a try a few years ago when we found Huntington too far to travel to. We have not been disappointed. We went last night. I had a toro appetizer which was fantastically seared toro with spiicy mayo. My wife got an order of shumai which is always a hit. Both of us got 2 each of their... More

Dee-licious, delicately-fresh sushi, and a sake-list as reminds us of Little Korea in Manhattan's East 32nd Street! The "house salad" actually transcended the norm -- *new* flavors -- but, of all things, the 'standard' miso soup was quite eh. Fugghedaboudit: I ordered a version of curry udon soup not on the menu, and the broth of the chef's improvisation was... More

Have definitely had better on Long Island. Ordered some regular tuna and salmon rolls which were not wrapped well but tasted fine. Had a bento box too which the tray you could tell was real worn. The chicken teriyaki didn't taste anything like teriyaki sauce and the fried rice on the side, tasted of way too much ginger. No lunch... More

I had read some strong reviews of Takara, so I decided it would be a Sushi night. They are in the shopping center next to the buffet place. It came recommended by the hotel clerk at the nearby Hampton. I was looking forward to some of the interesting rolls I had read about on Trip Advisor. However....... I walked in... More

Wow, we just had a blast at Takara. Well hidden in a mini-mall, next to an allyoucaneat, sits this little gem of Islandia. A true Japanese menu, except for the Coors Light and the soda's, and boy, can they make sushi. The waitress is pure gold, fun and helpful, the sushi excellent. And the price very, very reasonable. Make this... More

This is the place on the island for sushi. I have been going here for years and have yet to eat a bad meal here. The sushi is reasonably priced and excellent. FIVE STAR! More

If you can't get a table at the Hauppauge Kotobuki, this is a reliable stand by. Good, fresh sushi and a veriety of cooked Japanese dishes as well. Much lighter tabs than others and much easier to get a table. More
