Takushi is a new sushi restaurant that replaced what used to be another older sushi restaurant in Little Tokyo. The interior has been spruced up and looks a little nicer. I tried their top-end nigiri sushi plate (shown above). Although, it’s only $18, you don’t really get much as you can see. Freshness is okay but the portions are tiny. Click on the picture above to see a close-up of the ikura and you’ll see what I mean.
The presentation is not great either. I’m not impressed by this simple white plate, nor the layout of the sushi.
It was so hot on this day that I had to order iced green tea, which was $2 so I don’t know if they give you free hot green tea or not because I forgot to ask. It really doesn’t matter because although the service was good, the sushi was marginal. I’d rather pay more and get better sushi than save a few bucks. I might try this place one more time to give them another chance.

Please review Buffet City on Wilshire & Granville in Brentwood. Their watermelon is delish. They have working toilets as well.
