We came here for dinner. I've only gone during their lunch special, but their dinner is equally good. Their cali roll is probably one of the best I've ever eaten. It was so fresh and their teriyaki chicken was grilled with a nice sauce, but into small thing pieces. We really enjoyed all the dishes we ordered and next time we'll just go for sushi. A small restaurant, but they fit a lot of people in there.

Takara is located in Capitola shopping mall on the south side, decent size restaurant and usually a small wait for dinner. They have a large Sushi selection, which is what we went for an ordered, so not able to comment on the regular dinner menu. We tried several different Sushi selections, and they all were very good, and majority were reasonably priced. The service was pretty good and attentive, as well as friendly, overall were were very satisfied and will go back again, when in the area.

We tend to visit at least one sushi restaurant wherever we travel since my wife is a sushi fanatic. Nice large pieces of fresh fish and BIG rolls. They don't press the rolls tight, like most sushi places, which may be part of the reason they look so large and tend to fall apart, but they are very good. This is a real "mom and pop" restaurant with no fancy décor, just good food. Prices are reasonable by sushi standards. Definitely worth visiting.

I visited this restaurant with friends on a Saturday for lunch. Great food, and the portions are huge. For those with smaller appetites, itâs big enough for two. I really liked my yellow curry with shrimp! All the appetizers were excellent too. Definitely a great place to go, especially for large groups to share.

I spent a weekend in Capitola, and my dinner at My Thai Beach was the best of my stay. After experiencing other restaurants on the Esplanade, which were very crowded and loud on the weekend nights, and had what seemed to be similar menus, it was refreshing to walk into the quiet atmosphere of this restaurant and have some variety on the menu. There were not near as many patrons here, and I have no idea why, because the food was delicious. I particularly liked the chicken satay with peanut sauce. They also make fun bubble teas, I had the banana flavored tea and it was sweet enough to serve as dessert. Friendly service, and a lovely oceanside location.

Thai Basil offers a casual atmosphere and delicious food. I have a Thai friend who ordered take-out for us from this restaurant and every dish was delicious and complex. In person I've had the salmon panang a couple times and its richness outshines the other Thai food places I've been to. Don't put on your sport coat but do patronize this wonderful family run operation.

This is our favorite sushi restaurant. We always enjoy their specialty rolls, they're a little pricey but well worth it. My favorite is their organic mixed greens salad. I love to support this restaurant because of the fact that they support the fish that is on Monterey's Fish Watch list.

Went with a friend to check it out for a group that gathers frequently for lunch. We were not disappointed. This is a charming restaurant in an excellent location close to Capitola Village. It also has decent parking - challenge in the Village. Both of us had the Bento Box lunches. Good choices and reasonably priced. The gyoza was tasty and the sashimi was delectably fresh. I was a little disappointed they charged me extra for brown rice. The service was pleasant and attentive. I will return again and feel this is a good bargain.

I've eaten at this restaurant for years and I really enjoy knowing that I have the option of eating somewhere where the food is clean, healthy and organic. In a world where most restaurants add so much unhealthy ingredients to their food, It feels good knowing that I'm putting something healthy in my body. Their food is very tasty and lots of options to choose from, including some really delicious pastas, soups, vegetables and salads. Yes, its a little on the pricy side, but well worth it knowing your putting something good in your body. Enjoy!
