If you’re bored with traditional Japanese and Sushi, Takuma Japanese Grill in Spring is a must try. This creative Japanese fusion restaurant guarantees a meal with flavors that will wow you. Regulars recommend ordering a few appetizers and specialty rolls. The lobster and crab egg rolls, shrimp tempura tacos with mango pico de gallo, and red snapper ceviche are popular starters. Come prepared for specialty rolls you won’t find anywhere else paired with more than twenty homemade sauces. Try The Berry Good, a snow crab and shrimp tempura roll topped with strawberries and jalapenos – an odd combination but it works. For those that don’t have adventurous tastebuds, Takuma offers traditional teriyaki and Teppanyaki dishes. Don’t miss out on the Saketinis, over a dozen unique cocktails like the Blue Hawaiian with passion fruit flavor. Takuma has a very small dining room with a “do-it-all” small staff — dine in on a weeknight or make reservations for the weekend.
