   Really enjoyed dining hibachi style at Taku. Fabulous food (shrimp , scallops with fried rice veggies), cooking entertainment, and service! Can be a bit loud as chef’s are cooking, but it’s all in good fun! Would be really fun for kids and celebrating birthdays.

   Hibachi show was great! The portions sizes were larger than we expected. Our server recommended the fire island roll that is sent to you in foil surrounded by fire, giving it a smoky taste. I have never tasted anything like it and I’m so glad I got it! Taku also had a great ambience

   The Lychee martini was excellent! A bigger martini glass would have been nice. The lunchtime bento box I ordered was good quantity and quality. The basic sushi rolls were ok. I would like to try their special rolls before passing a final judgement. Hope to revisit for this reason... and to have another martini

   The food was deliciously flavored with perfect seasoning. The restaurant is a new build and I didn’t notice at first, but they didn’t have the big air vents (that collect dust) above the hibachi table that I was used to, but instead as part of the table so it sucked it right in there. The chef was fun and the wait staff were efficient, anticipating our needs before we had to ask. Highly recommend.

    It was altogether a good experience and the food was great. Two small complaints were that we had to flag someone down to get water refills. After the cooking was over, it was like we didn’t see a server at our table again. The other complaint (really small) is that I indicated on open table that we were there to celebrate a kid’s birthday, and it seemed acknowledged at check in. However nothing else was done to acknowledge it. Unfortunately, there were kid birthdays at other tables that were loudly acknowledged. The birthday boy said it was ok, but it was a little disappointing.

    Food was good - Large menu, lots to choose from. Our server did not seem to know much about the food menu, or the Sake choices. Lots of Sake choices, but she could not help me understand the differences. We sat at a regular table. The hibachi tables looked like they were a lot of fun. I would go back for the fun and the atmosphere around the hibachi tables (maybe a big family event). I would not go back just for the food.

    We were the only two at our table - the chef was talented and personable and the food was delicious. There was a birthday party at the next table - still all was quiet and it was a great place to go for really good food and a great experience as well.

    Our party of 4 who haven't seen each other in over a year had a good time at dinner. Our reservation was honored immediately and once seated at one of the hibachi tables the service was attentive, but unfortunately slow as far as a la carte items. We each ordered one of the hibachi combo's, but in addition we ordered sashami apps - but they didn't show up until we were almost done our dinner! The portion sizes were good and the food delicious - I just think they need a bit more time to work all of the kinks out of their system. Will definitely be back, but maybe later in the evening as the "earlier" crowd was packed with birthday celebrations and more, so the noise level was pretty high.

    This is not a quality steakhouse. It’s basically Chinese food from the local mall. Their investment into their infrastructure should’ve gone to the food instead. Not coming back unless someone pays for it.

    We had a great time dining here the service was great and so was the food/drinks I can't complain. The ambience was extremely loud bc there are tables in every direction and the chefs lite fires and the servers beat on drums. It's definitely a lot going on in here lol. Not to mention it's a small space with about 13 grills so you definitely wanna make reservations and make it on time. There were so many groups waiting for a table by the door. But overall I had a great experience.

    Other customers loud and using vulgar language in front of my kids. Quality of food was not as good as prior visits. Flavor was poor. Hibachi chef was grumpy and uninterested. Was our favorite place. Will not return.

    Fantastic choices! Our server, was Sophie, and she did a great job and everything she brought was fabulous, hot and delicious. We enjoyed the slightly lemony, pomegranate No-jito, mocktail, The warm wild mushroom salad, the shrimp shumai, two sweet potato tempura rolls, the shrimp tempura roll, California roll, and the mango Hawaii roll with no salmon substitute the eel sauce and mango instead of salmon, and the eel sauce instead of spicy mayo. Two miso soup‘s, and mochi green tea ice cream dish. Wonderful first experience before A movie at the regal movie theater, next-door! Wonderful review, and wonderful movie too, and, our meal was nice and quick, so we were able to be on time for the movie.

    Taku is a great addition to the KOP neighborhood. Walking in the door, we were greeted immediately by happy staff which was a pleasant beginning. We were taken to our table within 1-2 minutes. The place is beautiful. The staff was friendly. The ambience was perfect. It’s kid friendly, but nice enough to go on a date without kids too. We chose hibachi seating, but both options were available, so if you want more of an intimate style of seating with just the people you came to dine with that an option too. The Asian Pear Martini was delicious and so was the Shrimp and Salmon. Five stars!

    Was very pleased with the dinner/hibachi experience itself; however the bartender who served us while we waited to be sat was absolutely MISERABLE and dismissive. Quite possibly the worst hospitality employee I’ve ever seen.

    First impressions were good as we had a reservation and were seated right away. All the people we encountered were VERY nice, hard working and seemed to care. We ordered two margaritas and they were delivered off color and the glasses were not filled. One of those situations where the bartender didn’t mix enough ingredient and so just added ice vs fixing their error. Taste was odd. New drinks were delivered and were great and looked better. We ordered edamame, (it was okay), gyoza (okay but could have been crispier), crab Rangoons (very good) and a tuna roll (not sure of the name but it was the one pictured on the menu). It was horrible!!! The main person delivering food had no idea which table ordered it so she went from table to table asking. Will NEVER return given all the options that exist in the area. We were bummed as that location has been vacant for years and it would have been nice to have another dining option in the area
