I had a great experience at Taku. The food was fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. Each dish in the omakase felt special and carefully prepared. My favorite was the toro and uni—it was so rich and delicious.

Great new restaurant. Terrific food and very polite service. For a place that’s only been open a few days it’s become popular, which is well deserved. We recommend it and will return.

The food was excellent - now favourite restaurant. The service was very friendly - done with smiles - loved it. As for any restaurant with concrete floors gets loud - for us oldies.

One of the most exciting / contemporary Japaneese resturants we have tried (even in Japan)! Great choices, delicious tacos sake and plumb wine tasters are a must!
