Tako Grill - Japanese restaurant in Bethesda - 4914 Hampden Ln, USA

I only have good things to say about this store. The Japanese lady who owns this place is so sweet. The place has a good selection of authentic Japanese snacks. Most of all, the food here is very authentic. The fish is fresh, Udon and ramens are so tasty and the tempura shrimp and vegetables are so light and tasty without being greasy of any kind. In short, this place is authentic and the atmosphere is relatively pleasant.

High quality food, service, and setting. Highly recommend the toro, maguro, and chicken teriyaki don bowl. I also really appreciate that the water cup is a full sized 24oz cup. To top it all off, some miso soup to conclude lunch rounded out an excellent experience. Grateful I stopped by and will come back several more times!

This place is great! I was in the area for a few days and picked this place to eat on a whim because it looked interesting. It was a really pleasant surprise. The food was very tasty and very authentic. This isn't a "fusion" place, you get real Japanese food here. I got the karaage chicken bento box and everything was delicious. The fried chicken was very juicy and crispy on the outside. Service was great as well, everyone was really nice. They have a small selection of snacks and home goods so you can pick up some goodies after you're done eating. Would definitely come back if I am ever in the area again and definitely recommend it.

My friend and I enjoyed lunch here. She had the Pork Donburi bowl, which she said was a bit above average. I had the small miso soup, which included 6 pieces of tofu and was quite mild, and the bento box which included 6 pieces of fire cracker roll, 4 pieces of sushi and an excellent seaweed salad. The fire cracker roll was only slightly spicy, the wasabi paste was spicier. The eat-in tables are just large wood tables with old fashioned chairs, but the place includes a small but complete Japanese market.

Amazing!!! Just happened to find this Japanese sushi bar and restaurant in Bethesda while looking for a place to have dinner and have something warm...I was not disappointed! I haven’t had beef tongue in years and their sliced grilled beef tongue appetizer was simply delicious! The braised pork belly tasted like Filipino “paksiw na pata” which was another great appetizer! The ramen was also great! The place was clean with friendly servers! I can’t wait to bring my foodie friends over!!!

Excellent hidden gem in Bethesda with Japanese owners and chef. Wide variety of great Japanese food for any kind of mood.

Tako Grill has numerous authentic dishes to statisfy any Japanese food craving. We just stopped by for a quick bite and the meal was incredibly delicious. I highly recommend the wagyu and agedashi tofu.

Had lunch here with my son and it was great! Rolls were perfect texture, nicely presented, and very tasty - my son really liked the salmon California roll. The Bento box was delicious and just the right amount of food. Service was quick and polite. Highly recommend!
