Takaya Yakitori Izakaya offers an exceptional dining experience with kind and inviting staff. This hidden gem, run by a husband-and-wife team, serves delicious and perfectly prepared dishes reminiscent of a great restaurant in Japan. The menu features a variety of options, including sashimi, avocado salad, and an assortment of izakaya skewers, as well as comforting dishes like beef stew. The cozy and intimate atmosphere feels like dining in someone's home, making it a unique and exclusive experience. The space is small and cozy, and the restaurant operates by reservation only, emphasizing its neighborhood feel. The yakitori is lightly seasoned to highlight the ingredients’ original taste, and the sashimi special is notably fresh. Guests often recommend the Black Cod and Spicy Nabeyaki udon. Service is friendly, and the overall experience is reasonably priced. Visitors are encouraged to plan ahead and enjoy this charming, reservation-only spot that brings a taste of Japan to OC.
