" If you have not been to Tanuki, you’re missing out! The atmosphere is vibrant and cozy, making it a perfect place to enjoy a meal.

Can't wait to go back for brunch! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food at Tanuki had a pleasant taste but was not as authentic as I would have hoped. The portion sizes were reasonable, however, and the staff was polite. I think they have some good dishes but nothing stood out dramatically. I’d suggest going during less busy hours. " (*Curated Review*)
