I agree with one reviewer that Chef Jay Yu is offering us the best sushi in this Virginia area. I am so happy to have some unique menu offerings, such as Salmon Carpaccio w/olive oil,basil, and avocado, among the more typical offerings. Even his simpler Hawaiian roll, salmon w/basil and pineapple was a unique treat. The flavors of the combined ingredients is very well balanced. The standard sushi items seem to stand out differently in their freshness, presentation, and yes the delicious sushi rice, all of which makes me want to keep eating more sushi than usual without getting full!. There are still some tiny surprising additions to the standard rolls. So grateful too that the Takumi sushi is not heavy on the sauces. I stay away from gooey sauces offered so often elsewhere.
The place is tiny and cozy making Chef Yu accessible to answer your curious questions about his dishes. He is very gracious about that.
