Fabulous restaruant！All the staff are kind and the restaurant vibe is super nice. I really like the wagyu beef sandwich, so juicy and milky, really tasty. The egg blends with rice and beef is my second favourite dish. Everything is great! Highly recommend it.

We had a fantastic dining experience at TAKA Marylebone, a Japanese and innovative restaurant on the bustling high street in London. I had heard about their popular Wagyu Sukiyaki Rice, and I decided to try their TAKA Signature set menu, which included it.
To start, they served a plate of Edamame seasoned with wild fennel salt and spicy kombu sauce, which was a delightful and savory appetiser.
The Scottish Salmon Tataki was a highlight, with its seasoning of salt, seaweed/kombu, and green chilli sauce, enhancing the freshness of the salmon, giving it the feeling of a sunny morning at the fish market.
The Miso-glazed Nasu Dengaku, featuring fermented banana miso and truffle, offered a perfect balance of sweet and savory, making me eat more.
The Sesame Spinach Salad, with tender spinach, sesame, and crispy fried scallions, had a gentle and pleasing texture.
The Popcorn Shrimp Tempura was a crispy delight, served with a combination sauce of Spicy Mayo and Butter Ponzu.
My favourite was the Wagyu Sukiyaki Rice, which featured Kagoshima Wagyu beef with an onsen egg, all topped with sukiyaki sauce. It had a rich and creamy texture with the delightful aroma of Wagyu beef, and the addition of scallions was a perfect finishing touch.
I highly recommend trying the Wagyu Sando (Wagyu Sandwich) as well, which was a delightful surprise.
The Crispy Cod Crunch Roll was a tasty combination of avocado and cod, and the portion size was generous.
For dessert, the Mochi Ice Cream had a plum flavour , and it was beautifully presented with a yuzu-scented pastry and buttery biscuits. The little flowers on the ice cream were a lovely touch.
Please note that the menu can change, so it's a good idea to check with the restaurant. The two-person set menu costs £75 per person.
Don't miss the Kasatu Michelada cocktail, especially if you enjoy fruity flavors. It's made with Mezcal, Pineapple, Citrus, Cucumber, and Kirin Beer, and it's a delightful choice for cocktail enthusiasts.
Overall, TAKA Marylebone offers a wonderful culinary experience with a variety of delicious dishes and a great atmosphere.
The food was great. We especially loved the fried chicken as well as the nasu dengaku. The tall gentleman at the bar was awesome, as somehow our dishes went from good to amazing, in that order. Highly recommended.
All of the seafood were fresh and tantalizing. Creativity underscores the presentation of each dish. The standout dishes were the wagyu sando, wagyu rice, and the most tender chicken we have ever tried. Veggie dishes are also available just in case you don't eat meat or fish.
The service was top-notch.
I had a fantastic experience at Taka Japanese Restaurant. The ambiance was cozy and stylish, setting the perfect mood for a special evening with my girlfriend. We savored a variety of delicious dishes, including Salmon Tataki, Popcorn Shrimp Tempura, Chutoro Rice Bowl, Mochi Flatbread with Sesame Sauce, Sake Roll, and Toro Roll. Each dish was a culinary delight.
What truly made our night exceptional was the general manager, Lilly. She provided impeccable service, guiding us through the menu and even surprising us with samples of Mio Sparkling Sake, a delightful new experience for me.
In just 160 words, I can confidently say that Taka Japanese Restaurant offers a memorable dining experience with delectable cuisine, a cozy atmosphere, and exceptional service from Lilly. We can't wait to return for more exquisite Japanese flavors and warm hospitality.
The best Japanese restaurant in London. Great for vegetarians - the mochi flatbread, aubergine with plantain sauce, and shrimp tempura are all 10/10. Great service and lovely food. Wish the grilled avocado was still on the menu!!
Underrated Japanese spot in central london.
Food was delicious. The tuna tartar was incredible. The aubergine was so gorgeous but very sweet! The sushi I thought was mildly average, I didn’t get the huge panko crumbs on top.
The wagyu sandwich is exceptional. Very pricy though.. and the popcorn shrimp is the best I’ve had!!
Service was good but nothing special. I would recommend here!
From the moment I arrived at this restaurant, I was blown away by the impressive selection of signature cocktails at the bar. The knowledgeable bartender was a standout, providing expert recommendations on which umami dishes to try. I was not disappointed - the food was absolutely delicious and exceeded my expectations. The bar's lively atmosphere and stylish decor created the perfect ambiance for a night out. Overall, I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a fantastic dining and cocktail experience.
Best Japanese - different enough to be interesting but every single thing we ordered was perfection. We try an come here as often as possible!
Best service, best food… best in class! Cocktails also great!
Taka is an elite level Japanese experience, from the service to the attention and detail of the food, the raw materials quality is excellent and the complex simplicity in which the chefs portray the dishes really reflects it. Would and will go again.
