" Just had a lovely dining experience. The ba-ra and katsu were highly recommended for a reason! It's well worth mentioning that the portion sizes were generous without being overwhelming. I also appreciated the happy hour specials that allow trying new dishes at a reasonable price. The atmosphere exudes relaxed vibes complemented by friendly staff. I’ll look forward to returning for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful place! I went for dinner and started with the brussel sprouts, which were a surprisingly tasty dish. For my main, I couldn't resist the crab ramen, and it did not disappoint. The broth was rich, and I could taste the love they put into it. The service was genuine, and our server was knowledgeable about the menu. My only suggestion would be to increase the indoor seating to accommodate more guests, as it gets quite busy! " (*Curated Review*)

" I came in on a recommendation and wasn't disappointed. The yakitori was delicious, and the ramen had such a comforting flavor profile. It took a while to get my order taken, but the server was super friendly and apologetic about it. Once I got my food, though, I understood why it was so highly rated. The quality is on a level that many places miss, making it well worth the wait. Overall, a great experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Taniku is a versatile restaurant that perfectly captures the essence of a true izakaya experience. We enjoyed a delightful mix of grilled skewers and ramen, creating a satisfying meal that double as comfort food. I'm especially fond of their attention to detail, from presentation to taste. Service was proactive, and the cordial atmosphere made it a vibrant dining experience. I very much enjoyed the dishes I had and eagerly look forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Taniku is a gem! The ramen is perhaps the best I've had outside of Japan. I ordered the hotate miso ramen, and it was rich and flavorful without being overwhelming. The service was a bit slow, but the staff was friendly and did their best to keep everyone comfortable. The place is small but has a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for genuine Japanese flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely amazed by this place! Despite the bustling atmosphere, we were promptly served. The yakitori was delightful, and their ramen hit the spot. Each dish felt genuine with bursts of flavor and quality ingredients. The decor brings a lovely feel of Japan into the dining experience. Definitely a place to recommend to friends for a casual outing or special evening. " (*Curated Review*)
