I can’t reccomend this place enough. I’m a vegetarian which can be challenging for Japanese restaurants. Takuma has several options. The potato salad, the potato croquettes, and the chilled tofu are fantastic. The portions are really well sized and the food is delicious. 1000/10 would reccomend it. Management is extremely nice and considerate. My favorite place on the west side.
Went here for lunch and it was not as busy as I thought it would be. The service was great, the staff very friendly. The food… the food was really good. Try their buckwheat noodles. The kara-age was full of wonderful flavors!
