Considered one of the best Japanese restaurants in suburban Maryland, Tako Grill serves up sushi and traditional Japanese dishes all at bargain prices. Artfully prepared sushi and sashimi are highlights. The house specialty is grilled pieces of fish and vegetables called robatayaki . Dishes such as asparagus in ginger sauce, potatoes in butter or grilled squid make a wonderful appetizer or a light lunch. Customary Japanese entrees are also quite good here. Teriyaki chicken, beef and salmon are all offered on the regular menu, but be sure to look at the daily specials for other fresh fish served teriyaki style.
Tako my word for it: good stuff! I came here once with my brother and they had some good sushi. What's more...they had a DJ and some dancing. It was fun.
Excellent food and service. If you want the freshest and the best quality sushi, i highly recommend Tako Grill. I've been coming to this place for ten years now, and each time is never a disappointment. They also have a wide selection of Sakes. They even hold Sake tastings and pairings in which they teach you about sakes, and which food they're best paired with. The service is always excellent because they have the friendliest and the most efficient staff, especially the managers. They run the whole place flawlessly! It's like that line from that sitcom in the 80's Cheers "Sometimes i wanna go where everybody knows your name, and you're always glad you came". The only thing about this place though is that sometimes, it gets annoying when they constantly check up on you and ask you how things are or how the food is. I mean, once or twice during the meal, i can appreciate. But to do that constantly, making me feel like each bite i take, someone suddenly pops out of nowhere and asks me how it is, is just overdoing it! Don't you just hate it when you're in a middle of chewing a mouthful coz you're enjoying your food, and suddenly someone asks you "how's the food?" or "how's everything?", and then you feel obliged to respond, and you almost choked? Checking once or twice is highly appreciated, but do that more than 3 times, is just plain ANNOYING! But overall, i still am a big fan of Tako...just let me eat in PEACE.
I have far too many "miles" on my Tako Grill "frequent eater" card - But I will happily add more, as often as I can. The place is hard to beat in quality, price, ambiance, friendliness, service - and an unmatched selection of sakes. Go to their Sake Bar for the happy hour - good beers and drinks, with several delicious appetizers at a very good price. I often do that while I am waiting for my take-out orders. You can get better sushi and sashimi for over a hundred dollars at several local elite places, but if you want good quality at an affordable price, go to Tako Grill.
