Takara is a pleasant surprise amidst the ubiquitous pub grub fare that makes up much of the dining experiences in Marathon. The menu is fairly complete on both the Thai side and on the Sushi Side. The portions are large enough to share and the ingredients used are first rate. The spicing has been adjusted to meet the local palate,... more

We stayed in the keys for a week, eating out at least 3x times a day. We're from Vancouver, and were craving sushi on our last night (sashimi- we ate fish quite a bit, but we wanted it uncooked!). Boy, am I glad we found this place. My partner, who is incredibly hard to please food wise, complained we didn't... more

Takara is a tiny place with island-typical pseudo-wood table & vinyl chairs. The atmosphere is definitely relaxed and they offer a range of sushi and Thai standards. We were impressed that the chef was able and willing to prepare a Thai dish not on the menu and it was delicious! The Thai food is authentic and very good. Prices were... more

Marathon (in the Heart of the beautiful Florida Keys) has recently been blessed with a truly wonderful Thai restaurant, Takara Thai. Located Gulfside in the former digs of our departed Japanese restaurant, Sue & Lou are serving up a nice array of dishes ranging from soups, salads, curries, and fried rice to noodle dishes and sauteed dinner entrees.
