"News of Takesushi’s closing went viral last fall, but it has reopened inside Bon Cafe et Restaurant just around the corner from its previous location. “So many people call me and asked me to open,” says owner Robin Kawada, who’s been distributing fresh seafood from Japan since 1975, and making twice monthly visits to Japan to source his sushi in Sunnyside. He says he’s training every morning to get back to that travel frequency once he throws his grand opening party in September. In the meantime, expect local seafood as well as special deliveries from any of his friends who visit Japan. Kawada still has a guy at Japan’s Toyosu Market who packages up his unique merch. The lunch sets are delightful and can include soft shell crab and chuturo, a buttery, fatty tuna." - Caroline Shin, Eater Staff
