A lively Japanese spot with cocktails and a bigger, hangout-friendly dining room—ideal for date nights that lean social rather than hushed. The sushi and sashimi combos are the move, especially if you want variety without committing to a single roll lane.

Sushi & sashimi combo, Takowasabi, Lychee martini
Scores:
Value: 7.7
Service: 8.2
Consistency: 8.3
Food Quality: 8.3
Atmosphere: 8.1
Cultural Relevance: 8.1
What makes it special: Sushi-forward Japanese with a strong cocktail program and a fun room.
Who should go: Couples who want dinner plus drinks
When to visit: Weekend nights for energy
What to order: Sushi-sashimi combo, takowasabi, a lychee martini
Insider tip: If you’re picky about a combo roll, ask to swap—often possible.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking is limited around Court Square; nearby paid garages are the safest bet in the evening. Expect street parking to be tough after 6pm.
Dress code: Smart casual to dressy-casual. Jeans are fine, but this skews more ‘night out’ than ultra-casual.
Noise level: Moderate to lively — you can talk comfortably, but expect background buzz, especially later at night.
Weekend wait: 30–60 minutes without a reservation during peak hours
Weekday lunch: Typically no wait, but lunch hours may be limited or quieter than dinner
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — vegetable rolls, appetizers, and a few non-fish plates are available.
Vegan options: Limited — a handful of veggie-forward rolls and sides; best to confirm sauces.
Gluten-free options: Possible with guidance — sashimi and select rolls work, but soy sauce substitutions should be requested.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes, especially if you want energy instead of silence. The lively room and cocktails keep things from feeling stiff.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Sometimes, but weekend nights are competitive. Going early or sitting at the bar improves your odds.
Is it kid-friendly? Better for adults and older kids earlier in the evening. Later hours skew social and bar-forward.
Best For
Better for: Social date nights, group-friendly sushi, and pairing rolls with cocktails in a fun atmosphere.
Skip if: You’re looking for a quiet, omakase-style experience or ultra-traditional sushi focus.
