At Tako Sushi & Ramen, you'll find an unassuming exterior in a Clayton Park parking lot that gives way to a welcoming and friendly interior decorated with Japanese lanterns and screens. This is a ramen lover's destination; the menu offers nine different ramen variations. The seafood ramen with squid is not to be missed but, then again, neither is the Hokkaido, where pork slices float in an exquisitely spicy broth.
In addition to their sushi and sashimi creations, Tako Sushi & Ramen also mixes a mean broth. Their menu includes miso and seafood soups, as well as a superb variety of ramen. The Torikatsu ramen, which features tonkotsu soup, chashu, egg and chicken cutlet, satisfies cravings for hot, rich soup. You can enjoy the hints of classic Japanese décor, such as paper lanterns and wooden boats.
Tako Sushi is tucked away in a little strip mall in Clayton Park but has secured a loyal customer base and a citywide reputation for its sushi and ramen. The dining room is clean and casual. The sushi is fresh and well executed. The menu features hard-to-find items such as tako yaki and Japanese curry, and the specials board often has some interesting things to try.
