" Takenaka offers a unique dining experience that stands out in Vancouver. Everything we ordered felt authentically Japanese, and the quality of ingredients was evident. The only downside was a bit of a wait to get a table, but it was definitely worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Takenaka for a quick lunch. The service was fast, but the food didn’t quite hit the mark for me. I wished the onigiri was more flavorful. The ambiance was nice, but I expected more from the meal itself. It felt a bit overpriced for what I received. " (*Curated Review*)

" After several visits to Takenaka, I've become a huge fan! Everything from the service to the atmosphere has been consistently amazing. Highly recommend the bento box – it's an experience on its own! Just remember to make a reservation during peak hours. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, I think I found my new favorite restaurant in Vancouver! Took my family to Takenaka, and everyone left happy. We tried various onigiri and loved them all, especially the unagi flavor! The staff was friendly, and I appreciated how they explained the menu. Highly recommend the lunch set which was very filling! " (*Curated Review*)

" While I enjoyed the onigiri at Takenaka, I felt that the rice was too overwhelming compared to the filling. The service was good but slightly rushed as the place was quite busy. The atmosphere is charming, but I wish the food balance was better. " (*Curated Review*)
