What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Ta-Kumi is celebrated for its exceptionally fresh and high-quality Japanese cuisine, particularly its sushi and sashimi, which some diners compare to the best in Japan. The ambiance, service, and creative cocktails also receive high praise. However, a few diners have noted inconsistencies, with some dishes, especially on set menus, not meeting the expected standard, particularly concerning the freshness of certain sashimi pieces.
"We were excited to visit this restaurant, and it did not disappoint—one of our favorite meals of our entire Andalusia trip! Joao provided excellent service and spot-on recommendations for food and drinks.
Seated at the sushi bar, we enjoyed watching the chefs at work. The food was incredibly fresh and well-executed—we had rockfish usuzukuri (thin-cut sashimi), a mixed hirazukuri sashimi platter, and a variety of cold and hot nigiri (spicy tuna, salmon aburi, toro aburi, scallop, wagyu, quail egg with wagyu), plus hosomaki (spicy tuna) and uramaki (soft-shell crab).
The cocktails were creative, including a wasabi mule and one that tasted like Asian melon ice cream. Joao also recommended a fantastic sake and wine pairing. An unforgettable experience—highly recommend!"

"Had the set menu. Next time would order off the menu and select. Honestly a bit hit and miss: a few of the sashimi pieces were just past thawed in the centre, way too cold and clearly frozen and still near frozen. The red prawn sashimi, in particular the heads were amazing. The torched sushi selection was superb. But I ordered two additional rolls off the menu and was not impressed. The wagu was good but it came last and I already had disappointment from 75% of the dishes before it so I just wanted to finish up and pay my bill. For a Michelin star restaurant serving sashimi still frozen in the middle is absolutely unacceptable. For the price of the set menu of €135 I felt like I did not receive the quality or money worth. Service and atmosphere was perfect. I sat outside which looked at the armoury walls. Would not return except for the red prawn sashimi and the torched sushi selection."

"Incredible Japanese food, you rarely find a restaurant serving this level of cooking. Don't miss the waygu and quail egg nigiri, the tuna tartare, the hot sushi with tempura prawn, the amazing mochi. We won't be able to come back to Malaga without visiting here again. Lovely staff, very welcoming to children, and beautiful views of the Alcazaba from the terrace."
