"This is a good restaurant. Complimentary Parking is available in the back of the strip mall. In eateries near dc, this is a really big deal. Although the decor is modest, the food is very good. Had several unique appetizers. Try their pate soft poached goose liver delicately sliced over agedashi tofu yumm! Their sushi was very fresh and in some cases outstanding. The chef saves and prepares the fatty parts of different fish (other than just tuna) and uses these toro sections as part of their sushi/sashimi offerings. They were very tasty and not something you get every day. I only wish I asked for less rice in my nigiri. That 's not a disparagement of their sushi, just my personal preference. Next time I will remember! Our server was extremely helpful in helping us pick our selections. He made special requests based on our tastes and never failed us in his recommendations. One negative note: there were fruit flies buzzing around in the corner that we were seated. The people apologized profusely and put out a citronella candie to keep them away. We were not bothered by the flies again for the rest of the evening. Maybe they should keep citronella candles lit for the duration of the nighttime dining. Having worked in food processing, it is virtually impossible to get rid of fruit flies once you have an infestation. One way is to “bomb” the place overnight and then do a very thorough scrubbing to make sure that the insecticide chemicals are gone. Don’t know which option is worse citronella or bombing. But you do need to take care of the fruit flies. Would eat there again, so long as they keep the citronella going."

"I recently visited Izakaya Takasei and had a mixed experience.My boyfriend and I ordered the takoyaki, chicken cutlet and egg rice bowl, several yakitori, takowasabi (raw octopus with wasabi), and the Kobe beef roll. While the takoyaki and yakitori were delicious, the chicken cutlet and egg rice bowl was really bland. The Kobe beef roll was a bit odd with the combination of garlic butter and tataki sauce. Unfortunately, there were also a few items on the menu that were no longer available, which was a bit disappointing. It would be good for the restaurant to update their menu to avoid any confusion or disappointments.While the food at Izakaya Takasei comes out quickly, this can also be a double-edged sword. During my visit, my boyfriend and I received several dishes at once, which meant that a lot of our food was sitting out and getting cold while we were eating the others. It would be great if the kitchen could pace the dishes better to ensure that everything is served at the optimal temperature.The service was a bit lackluster as well. The only time we were able to ask for condiments, utensils, and more water was when the employees brought our food out. No one checked on us throughout our meal, and it would have been nice to have a more attentive staff.On the plus side, the restaurant has nice Japanese decor and is quite spacious. However, there was no background music, which made the ambiance a bit dull.Overall, while there were some drawbacks, Izakaya Takasei may be worth checking out if you're in the area and in the mood for some Japanese cuisine. Just be sure to join the wait-list on Yelp beforehand and check in with the host when you arrive."
