TakoSushi, 1332 Main Street Suites 100 & 101: 9 July 2026 no comments
I meant to get back and take a better picture than this drive-by, but apparently that's not going to happen.
TakoSushi closed their original downtown location in 2019, and their Forest Acres location in 2025. They returned to downtown in 2022, occuping two suites in the Arcade Mall. Apparently there is still a location in Lexington, though I can't recall ever seeing it.
You can read about it on WIS, in The State or at The Post & Courier.

TakoSushi, 4711 Forest Drive Suite 27: 22 October 2025 1 comment
I was never particularly interested in going to TakoSushi, as the menu didn't sound up my alley, but there are a number of them about, so apparently it works for them. Although in the event, not in Forest Acres, I guess. The State has the closing story here, and say that the place was open for a little more than a year, after replacing Baskin Robbins, which closed in 2022.
The storefront is already in train to be a Jimador Real, which I assume is a smaller version of an El Jimador, though I don't really know.

TakoSushi, 1115 Assembly Street: November 2019 1 comment
I've been in this building at least once, back when it was Doc's Gumbo Grille, but as I view Sushi as Superman views Kryptonite, it never even occurred to me to visit TakoSushi. I see from the various writeups on the closing that they had a Southwest component, which I might have guessed from the Tako, except that sounds very like a Japanese word when spelled that way. While I have not been inside, I have admired the very visible and shiny ventilator for years. I also notice that the Yin/Yang mural is a Blue Sky creation.
According to the Takosushi website and statements to the press, the restaurant considered the building to be unsafe. The State says the owner disputes that, and says that any interior damage would be the tenant's responsibility to fix. Here are two more takes from ColaDaily and WLTX
In a sign of the times, I could not get close enough to the front door to get a good picture of the posted notice (though you can probably read it on the click-through) because there is already someone sleeping in the doorway.
