The first specialized sushi restaurant in New York City since 1974.

Takesushi has been serving authentic Japanese cuisine for over 40 years. 

​

The restaurant opened in 1974 in its original midtown Manhattan location. Additional locations later included Woodmere, Great Neck, Toronto, and Washington D.C. 

​

Now, Takesushi is serving its home community of Sunnyside, Queens. Nearly each day, owner Robin Kawada visits the Fulton fish market in the Bronx and hand selects high quality fish based on seasonal variety and freshness, taking into consideration their regional waters, seasonal habits and other aspects.

Kawada is able to draw from his former experience running a seafood import and export company when selecting fish, and now prepares sushi himself at Sunnyside.
