Takesushi is a specialized sushi restaurant in Sunnyside, Queens, with a rich history of serving authentic Japanese cuisine since 1974. Owner Robin Kawada, with nearly 50 years of experience, meticulously selects high-quality fish from the Fulton fish market in the Bronx and even hand carries fish from Japan for dinner service. Drawing from his background in seafood import and export, Kawada-san ensures the menu features seasonal variety and freshness.

Known for its traditional Japanese sushi, Takesushi offers a clean and minimalist dining experience, focusing on top-notch fish quality and attentive service. Despite facing challenges like employee reductions and an influx of customers, the restaurant maintains a strong commitment to providing the best possible dining experience for patrons. The owner, appreciative of the support, strives to offer a genuine and memorable sushi experience before the upcoming closure.

After relocating to 41-31 Queens Blvd, Takesushi continues to delight customers with delicious lunch and dinner offerings. The restaurant's reopening at a new location brings renewed energy and dedication to serving exquisite sushi in a warm and inviting atmosphere. Patrons can expect a heartfelt welcome from the owner, showcasing a true passion for sharing the art of sushi with the Sunnyside community.
