Really nice ambience with pretty fire place. Definitely date night material. However, a lot of the items were way overpriced for the amount and quality. My s. o got asian short ribs, very small portion, and I ordered a selection of sashimi and sushi rolls. The bill was about 75 for the two of us. I probably would not go again, but it was good to try it.

The bento boxes are so good! Had the beef and broccoli. Comes with miso soup, chef’s choice sushi, salad, rice, and egg rolls. The sushi is also delicious. Worth the price for an upscale night out.

Best sushi spot in IC. Get the kobe and volcano roll. Love their Crab cakes as well. They are not filled with bread. Looks like it could use a change in décor; don’t think anything has changed since they opened. Could maybe use a real deep clean, but over all good experience

Not the best sushi in town but it is certainly very good considering it’s Iowa. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff.

While the food is generally pretty good the atmosphere leaves much to be desired. The whole place needs a serious cleaning as every surface feels sticky. I won’t venture back until I’ve heard it’s been cleaned.

A bit pricey, but certainly delicious! We got a couple of sushi rolls and a bowl of phở, and enjoyed both.

I brought a well traveled coworker and self proclaimed sushi buff and he thought this was one of the best places he has had. I thought this place was great but it’s nice to hear a few others who have eaten at other premier places to give such praise to a local joint.
For me, the sushi is very fresh and the nice touches they add to them are nice for that extra flavor that makes the special. Their signature rolls are very good and worth a try if you want something different. Whatever your preference is for sushi they will surely impress you.
Oh and although not a highlight for most, but there miso soup is amazing here! I gotta order two since it is so good. The phở on the menu is just aright, I would stick to their strong suit here if you decide to come.
They have a very nice atmosphere as well high quality entrees in addition to their awesome sushi. Overall solid place to grab dinner or lunch.

We ordered take-​out on a Saturday night. Our order was ready for pickup on time but I was surprised to see that the place was not busy at all. The indoor atmosphere is great and sidewalk seating is in a perfect spot of downtown Iowa City.
Lots of sushi restaurants in Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota are worlds better than anything I’ve found in the Iowa City area so far, so it’s hard to use the region as an excuse for average sushi. That being said Takanami is my favorite sushi option in the Iowa City area, but it could still definitely be better.

Great hibachi and very fresh fish. The Las Vegas roll is amazing. Bar tender made a great old fashioned. Definitely coming back!

Had some nigiri, had some specialty rolls, had some gyoza.
All of it was good but not GREAT. Nothing to make it a must stop whenever I am in Iowa City. Had Bell’s Two Hearted on tap though, so that was pretty sweet.
Service was great. Prices reasonable. But the rolls are just as good as in the QC where I am from.

The first sushi spot that I visited in Iowa City. We went during happy hour and found their deals to be great! The cocktails were inventive (even had group drinks which were my fav thing back in NY) and delicious as I am a sucker for a well-​made martini. The sushi itself was really good and it was refreshing to see that cream cheese was not an ingredient in every roll (I personally don’t know when cream cheese became a staple in sushi…). We chose from their special roll deals and were not disappointed. The service was attentive and friendly and we will definitely visit again!

We have been regulars for a few years. We had lunch at Takanami a couple of days ago– turns out they put a new menu together, and now it’s *much* more expensive. The food is still good, but there is no real value for money anymore, particularly with their soups. I mean, $ 14 for udon noodle soup with 5 tempura shrimps? $ 14 for Vietnamese phở soup with beef? Forget it. The service is good and the food is good, but prepare to pay the highest prices for Japanese fusion in the area for no discernible reason.

This used to be my go to place for sushi in Iowa City but in recent years it has gone way down in quality and in cleanliness. The food and service is just okay and the ambiance is sub par.
It has an overwhelming grease smell when you walk in, that sticks on your clothes all day. Things are starting to look a little shabby and there is dirt accumulating in corners and in the bathroom.
The last time I was in I ordered the kobe roll, dynamite roll and a few of the standard rolls. The food took awhile to get to us and was nothing remarkable. I have had better sushi and paired with the overall experience of dining here, I wouldn’t recommend it or come back.

This place deserves the 5 stars! It was too bad there weren’t any open tables outside because it was a gorgeous day. However, getting to eat inside was also nice because there was just one other couple so it was nice to sit back and relax in peace.
Pretty decent sized restaurant with plenty of seating. We got a spicy tuna roll, eel and avocado and 2 pieces of octopus sashimi. Everything was delicious! The eel was amazing. All was washed down with a Lucky Buddha. The service was great! Incredibly friendly and even kind of funny.

The quality of food here is what you would expect for a sushi place in Iowa. It’s average compared to other sushi places around the country – which means it’s okay sushi for Iowa. I have been here quite a few times for sushi and lunch bento boxes.
While I love my sushi, I would rather get a bento box if I’m here for lunch. The sushi is decent, but the lunch bento box is a better value overall. However, there are frequent happy hours for sushi, which makes sushi cheaper by a few bucks.
The service here is also fairly average, and wait time is average as well. Overall, I would usually go to Formosa over Takanami since Formosa offers more variety as far as sushi goes.

So I’m not sure why Takanami didn’t get better write ups… I had a great experience. Visited this weekend with an old friend and got right in. Slight mixup between our servers as to who was going to handle our table but otherwise I have nothing negative to say.
We started with a spicy tuna and a yellowtail roll, which were really fresh, well rolled and creatively presented. Interesting beer selection included a surprising Matilda that paired well with the sushi. We both had the seared tuna for our entrée and again it was fresh, cooked perfectly and served with a creative presentation. Sauces didn’t thrill me but they weren’t served on the tuna so it didn’t take away from the main dish.
Our waitress was really friendly and attentive but didn’t rush us which was great because we had a lot of catching up to do.
A little pricey but a bit of gem if you are looking for something a little different from the traditional college fare in IC.
A side note… it’s not all sushi and fish. They actually had some other interesting items in the menu that were worth checking out and I would go back for.

Loved the Miso soup, decent sushi (not as good as the sushi where I live in Florida but it is Iowa lol). Fast and friendly service… Pretty chill place. Would definitely come back when I’m in town.

It has been a few years since I have eaten and so was looking forward to some good sushi. We ordered the Fire Dragon and the Volcano rolls and started off with the dumpling appetizers.
The dumplings came out very quickly and I was surprised to see they were deep fat fried. Four came to an order and they were all well over cooked on the verge of being burned. The description had the dumplings on a red wine cranberries with candied walnuts and meat jus (per the menu). It sounded good but really had zero flavor. It was very hard to eat and get any additional flavor from the cranberry/​walnut sauce. I would not order that again.
When the rolls came out they looked essentially the same. That may have been my fault as my eating partner said they sounded very similar on the menu. The rolls were decent size and overall tasted ok. My issue was the amount of sauce that was used to prepare the rolls. It was a spicy mayo blend and was just caked over the rolls. That flavor overrode all other ingredients in the roll.
Finally it was rather pricey. Two rolls, an appetizer and two beers for $ 55. Definitely better sushi places around.

Oh, Iowa. I love you, but you are a sushi desert.
Fresh, fresh, fresh fish is what makes great sushi. When it’s great, it doesn’t need a lot of gunk on it, or to be wrapped in a roll with a bunch of other things, or even need soy and wasabi. It just melts in your mouth like butter and doesn’t even taste like fish.
In Chicago, sushi-​grade fish is flown into the Waukegan airport almost daily and all the best sushi restaurants restock their supplies that frequently. Poor Iowa, where the demand for sushi doesn’t bring in the fresh fish that makes eating sushi worthwhile.
I wonder how often Takanami receives fresh fish, and on what day. I want to go there that day. And then maybe I’ll revise my rating.

I came here for lunch… heres my story. The parking was rather ok, but it seemed like there could be trouble for people. I ordered the KOBE BURGER lunch package. It included a house salad (very very decent size), the kobe burger (2 patties!), another side cucumber salad, miso soup, and 2 pieces of house special sushi… and I believe that one order was $ 14. WOW… what a deal right? Im a big eater, and after all of that, food coma had hit, so the portion to dollar was VERY VERY GOOD.
The food was also very good, the dressing was good, the miso soup was very light but tasty, and the kobe burger was excellent. One can definitely taste the Japanese Infusioned food. I also hear that this place is a very popular spots for students to come. Very clean area, very nice waiters and servers. Very great overall.
UNTIL THEN! ^-^
