Sushi House of Taka on Van Nuys Blvd Review/Photos

Some friends & I just returned from a dinner at Sushi House of Taka.

I forgot how good this spot was, haven't been in a while since I've been going to Chiba or Katsu Ya

This is a hidden gem, a no thrills looking spot just the sushi and prices are to your advantage.

I pigged out and my bill was only $44 + 10 tip, had to bring some home too.

Started with:

-Yellow Tail Belly (the 2 cuts are so big they cut your 2 pieces into 4)

-Tuna Sushi (was next yum!) was tempted to order the Toro Tuna

-Blue Crab Hand Roll (the thing was the size of a snow cone, 100% real crab no filler)

-the guy next to me had the same but in a Spicy Tuna Roll

Then I had their Santa Barbara Live Sweet Shrimp that he brought out kickin and all, as fresh as you can get.

When ordering this they give you a portion raw and he carved its eggs on top, mouthwatering.

Then the head gets fried and you dip in a good sauce.

From there I had a Relative Roll which is spicy tuna inside and albacore on the outside, by this time I was stuffed.

Took a bite and brought the rest home.

I didn't even get to try other suggestions like the Stuffed Squid, Yellowtail Collar, Uni, and other rolls.

Give it a try,
