When my
significant other suggested a late afternoon lunch at Takara
today, I was a little skeptical. I'm very picky about where
I will eat sushi, and I certainly wouldn't have immediately
listed Monroe as a hot spot for said fare. However, I was
reassured, cajoled, and eventually relented.
I'm glad I did. The inside of Takara is much classier than
one would expect from its strip-mall location, and the food
and service were excellent. The sushi lunch runs about $7
and includes a salad or miso soup. I chose the soup and it
was excellent. The plate (as pictured above) was perfectly
composed and included a California roll, an barbecued eel
roll, and a shrimp roll, amongst other things. The barbecued
eel was especially delicious, but everything on the plate
was quite tasty.
I'll reserve my judgment of the dinner experience until
later (given that they do the whole prepare-entree-at-table
thing then), but Takara is a lunchtime winner.

I went to this
restaurant tonight after a hard week of work hoping to get a
great dinner and a drink. My husband and I were very
impressed with the atmosphere, food, and waitstaff. I
ordered the Hibachi Filet Mignon and Shrimp and my husband
ordered the Hibachi Filet and Lobster. It was excellent and
very reasonably priced. We frequently drive to Charlotte to
eat out because I'm not particularly fond of the restaurant
selection in Monroe but this one is a winner. The prices
were very reasonable and I thought the portion sizes were
perfect. I was stuffed but not too stuffed for desert...I
had the fried cheesecake...which was delicious. I'm
definitely going back!
