Editorial Review for Takamatsu – by Jonathan Beck and Karen Bosnos
The Scene
Not content with one cuisine, Takamatsu serves two. On one side of the restaurant, diners in the know feast on authentic Korean cuisine. On the Japanese side, university students and other groups cluster around flaming teppan yaki tables for casual conversation and a culinary show.
The Food
Japanese specialties are pricey by Tucson standards. The premier special is the nontraditional Takamatsu dinner with filet mignon, shrimp and lobster tail, but at $30 for one person, it's not cheap. On a budget? Try one of 35 more reasonably priced Korean dishes or order sushi a la carte. The sushi is fresh and well prepared, and the chefs will even deep-fry shrimp heads on request. The marinated scallops are cooked on your tabletop barbecue and served with eight side dishes.

Bad place for sushi. I only tried the sushi here, so I cannot comment on the other items they serve at this restaurant. The place was packed full of people with an hour wait on a Saturday so I was expecting this place to be good, but boy was I wrong. I don’t know if it was just that day that the sushi was bad or what, but the sushi here was pretty bad. Everyone at my table order sushi and all of them commented that the sushi was awful. I had way better sushi for a lot less money at other places. The sushi rolls I ordered were not good at all. The sushi rice was mushy and too sour for my taste. The fish wasn’t fresh; I almost threw up eating a piece of sushi with fish on the outside and got a stomach ache afterwards from eating at this place.

Went with a group of 30 for Korean BBQ on a Sunday night. We were seated promptly, but the food came out at odd times and some of it was cold. We were quoted a certain price per person over the phone, but upon paying the bill, we paid $5 more per person than quoted. Also have been with just 2 people. All in all, the food is good, but it is really pricey and the staff is not all on the same page.
Pros: food
Cons: price, group accomidations, service
