Their pricing is very strange. I ordered a bowl that came with one protein and wanted to add a second. Not only did the cashier charge me for the price of the second protein (additional cost), she tried to charge me $3 extra for the option to add a second protein which made no sense to me. The total went from $13 to $20 for just an added protein (additional protein cost alone cost ~$3-4)

I wanted to hate it but I did enjoy it. Although it's not without its issue. I got the nachos with Japanese curry beef. The nachos didn't remind me of Japanese food at all. They were also overpriced, $15. For that much money, there's better options nearby. The nachos didn't stay hot for very long and the toppings were sparse. I had more nachos than anything. I had to sandwich my toppings to get the most out of it. My food came fast at least. All in all, while it was good, I'm not sure if I'll be back. It's hard to recommend it because of its price point. I did walk away satisfied but I know I'll be hungry later.

The braised beef and japanese curry taco were flavorful and delicious. They add tortilla chips to scoop up the meat that falls out of your taco. It’s just a little pricey bc it’s like 5 bucks for one.

Great quick meal. Super healthy lunch and had me feeling great and energized the rest of the day.

Staff was rather rude even though they made a mistake by missing an item in my app order. I would have felt better if they actually apologized and be nice about it. Food was very meh, not going back anytime in the future

I've only had delivery but the food was consistently good. Sometimes you have to be careful with fusion restaurants but Takumi got it right. I ordered the chipotle shrimp taco, Japanese lentil taco and the chicken adobo taco. My favorite was the lentil taco--never in my wildest dreams would I have thought to use lentils for a taco. It was curried lentils with cotija cheese and gyoza taco shell. I love the shell. The chipotle shrimp comes in second--it comes with chilled shrimp, edamame and chipotle aioli. I wasn't a fan of the chicken adobo. Another time, I ordered lentil and spicy tuna. The tuna was also in the gyoza shell and it had sashimi grade tuna, jicama and spicy mayo. This place can easily accommodate meat eaters, pescatarians and vegetarians. I definitely recommend.

They're vegetarian-friendly, but not vegan friendly. You CAN order a veggie burrito with one of a few different vegan protein options, but you have to get it without cheese or the "creama" sauce. So it's Super Dry!!!Literally no salsa, guacamole, or sauce of any kind!! Not even hot sauce! Not to even mention the possibility of vegan cheese or vegan sour cream. It was Super Bland and only the Texture resembled a burrito, since there was no flavor to speak of. The service was terrible. Before I could order, I literally waited at the register for 10 minutes while the cashier restocked their cups and silverware. (The poor woman's coworkers were just standing in the back talking to each other!)That said, I'm giving them two stars instead of one for having beer.
Tacos here aren't very good. Both the pork belly and beef curry tacos were extremely dry and bland. I would not be surprised if the meat had been sitting around for a long time under a heating station. Had it not been for the sauce on the tacos, they were borderline inedible. It's interesting that this place markets itself as a Mexican-Japanese fusion place, but the curry used is more of an Indian curry paste - very odd.I ordered the bento which included a side of my choice, and the grilled corn I selected was pretty mediocre as well. You get exactly 5 tortilla chips with the corn so ration them out carefully. Given all the other things I could've eaten at Chelsea Market, I was extremely disappointed in my choice to come here.

I may try them again but I specially asked for hard tacos because I really don't like soft corn tacos. Disappointing to find that they did not listen, so I didn't really enjoy.

Amazing mashup of Japanese and Mexican food, this is the place to hit at the food hall out of all others. While everything was delicious, my absolute favorite was the curry beef taco. Order one of those and then try anything else that strikes your fancy. I'm definitely a repeat customer, this is my new go to lunch spot.

Food wasnt good but eatable. A clump of meat in a small tortilla doesn't make a taco. I had 3 tacos and none of them were anything to recommend. The chips they threw in the plate were stale also. Go to Tacobell, it's not good but at least you know what your going to get and it costs less.
