As someone who has dined in Michelin Star restaurants around the country, Takumi- Tei was absolutely incredible and the best meal I’ve ever been served. The atmosphere especially within the water room was so immersive that the focus became the food. Each dish was excellent prepared and absolutlet scrumptious, the fish and A5 melted in my mouth like butter while the miso soup absolutely stunned the palate. The service was equally as exquisite with Riko and Kyoko attentively serving our needs while explaining the history and preparation of each dish. The full course was absolutely perfect in terms of portions and variability and we walked away completely satisfied and awe-struck. Such an incredible experience and I don’t think words can recommend how strongly I recommend this restaraunt
This was such a great experience! It was fun to do omakase that hinged on cooked dishes. The half set was plenty filling, and the tea pairing was an excellent addition. It’s unique bottled teas that rival a wine service in excitement and flavor.
If you’re new to omakase or starting to venture out into Japanese food, this menu is an exciting way to explore the nuance of this cuisine. For me, the food was familiar but elegant and expertly crafted. Service was phenomenal.
As others have said, this is a pricy spot. But once you step inside, you honestly forget you’re in Epcot. It’s such a tranquil restaurant with intentional food.
Really enjoyed my visit! The origami memento from our server was such a sweet touch.
A wonderful experience to end our trip with!
My husband and I went to Takumi-Tei on our last night at Disney. It was expensive, but the experience was wonderful and made it all worth it.
The restaurant is nice, calm, and quiet compared to the noise that is Disney. It makes you completely forget that you are at Disney! We went on the first day that they were rolling out their new Spring menu. Our server Azura-san was friendly, delightful, and made us cherish our experience with a handwritten note given to us after dinner.
My husband and I both got the full omakase experience with the Sake tasting. Our favorite courses were the "Hassun" (the several seasonal ingredients), the "Shii-Zakana" where we both chose the Crisp Tempura of Japanese Black Wagyu, and the "Matcha and Kanami" where we enjoyed watching our server make fresh matcha and our sweet treats.
Keep in mind that it is a tasting course and you have to be open to unique and different food experiences. My husband and I didn't like every dish, but we knew going in that there were going to be some questionable dishes to our palates but that didn't stop us. I state this because there was another group of guests who were as open as wanted to end their experience early.
Overall a wonderful experience! It makes us fond of our past Japanese travels. I would recommend booking a dinner here as a special occasion or as a nice treat during your stay!
I have never been so disappointed in an experience. The food got worse with every course and my two sisters and I were excited to try everything. By the time the last course came I was literally crying at the thought of having to choke it down. I was ready for Ashton Kutcher to come out and tell us we had been punked.
To make matters worse, the water we were served smelled like fish. A small 1/3 glass of nasty smelling water with no ice. And they CHARGED US $36 for that gross smelling water!!!
They said it was a once in a lifetime experience and they were right. I cannot imagine anyone going back there. Save yourself. Read reviews before you go!
Also. Every restaurant in Disney can be cancelled 2 hours in advance. This one has to be cancelled 3 days in advance or a $100 per person charge. Beware. If you have a reservation, pay the $100 to save yourself.
I got food poisoning from here, I just had the meal today around 5:00pm, and now had to go to urgent care and they determined it was the cause of this meal. I do not recommend this place, until health department comes visits, especially since they serve raw fish. Very good service.
