Takara Sushi Japanese - Pacific Grove

A hidden gem in the Monterey area! It's definitely one of my favorites.

The restaurant's hours on Google indicated that it closed at 10 PM. We arrived for dinner at 9 PM, and upon our arrival, we were rudely informed by the staff that they were closed and asked to leave. However, the restaurant had empty tables and other guests were still dining, with food being brought out from the kitchen. People like that should not be in customer-facing roles.

Is this the last of authentic Japanese cuisine? How many grains of rice are used in the sushi? If you don’t have rice, you shouldn't take the order. Even the udon noodles seem lacking in authenticity. Besides the salad, which is a rare offering, this doesn’t feel like a genuine Japanese restaurant.

I remember not only the taste but also the friendly service of the server. best!!

Very good food recommend this place a 100% even if u don’t like Japanese food it’s really
