" Taku truly has an inviting atmosphere! I stopped by alone and felt welcomed immediately by the staff. The cheese potato mochi is a must-try! However, the karaage did not meet my expectations as it was a bit bland despite the high anticipation. Overall, it was a positive experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" On my visit to Taku, I had the chicken sandwich, which was superb! The seasoning was just right, and the bun was incredibly soft. The seating was a bit cramped, but the ambience made it feel lively. It’s definitely a place I will want to visit again soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited for the fourth time with friends lately. The edamame with its charred flavor was a standout! You need to try their dipping sauces too, as they add a nice touch to the crispy chicken. However, I found the seating to be a little uncomfortable, which detracted from the experience slightly. " (*Curated Review*)
