    Papa San has once again managed to create a go-toplace for sushi lovers. I have always been a big fan of his sushi and his legendary attitude to service. Order once and make it snappy is the way things work - well, everybody wants some so I guess thats how they have to roll. Brilliant service, awesome decor, surroundings, amazing tempura and out of this world sushi combinations. Go. And it's not overly expensive either. You'll definitely get your money's worth at Takumi.

    I have never felt more special on my birthday than on Saturday night at Takumi. The sushi was amazing, the service was perfect and I even got special gifts from Tokyo from Papa San himself! Thank you all so so much for making the night the best I've had! Lots of love xxx

    One of our favorites! Their spinach cone starters are great as 'ice breakers' to get a fun vibe at the table...
