Absolutely delicious, prestige and exquisite Japanese food, high-end collection of offerings at a very affordable price, elegant and pleasant environment, nice owner and staff, a hidden jewel in the CBD. Will visit again!
The food was ๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป so good! Customer service is excellent! Definitely have to try the beef hot pot(? If thatโs what it called) the chicken schnitzel was perfect! Love the wasabi mayo sauce ๐ป the boss or the manager was so generous, gave us an 3000% fabulous matcha thousand crepes ice cream dessert! Would definitely reckon this place to all of my friends. And this place will be our forever first dining option!
What a gem of a place, really happy with my sashimi set for lunch. Lovely fresh sashimi and a delightful assortment of side-dish satellites including rice, miso soup, seaweed salad, rockmelon, agedashi tofu and tempura fish. Also some of the tastiest pork gyoza in town. Many thumbs up.
Highly recommend Taketori for its delicious lobster sushi, Wagyu uni sushi, sukiyaki and the cheesy scallop(forgot the name). I have been there twice within a week, worth tasting ๐

We had visited Taketori a couple of weeks back and ordered several dishes - hereโs what we had!
Tori karaage - lightly marinated crispy chicken with mint sauce. This was a good starter however the chicken was a bit damp making it less crispy.
Salmon aburi sushi - salmon nigiri torched with mayo and teriyaki sauce. The salmon was torched well and tasted fresh and juicy!
Taketori lobster sushi roll - inside out sushi roll with lobster meat, egg, covered with torched salmon! This was my fave for the day as the lobster meat was soft and juicy and you could actually taste it!
Tuna tataki - this was an enjoyable dish as the tuna was fresh and smooth!
Wagyu steak - Japanese wagyu steak with teriyaki sauce! The steak was cooked to perfection and the teriyaki sauce was a clever idea to sweeten up the meat! The steak was soft and succulent making it my other fave!
Shabu shabu salad - wagyu sliced beef with sesame and ponzu dressing. This was actually a pretty yummy salad as the ponzu dressing made the difference and the wagyu beef was cooked well!
Overall, we had a pleasant experience at Taketori however the price we had to pay was on the higher end. We would probably visit again during a special occasion.
The food here is quite good. The place filled up very quickly after we arrived. All the other diners appeared to be Japanese, which I took as an indication of authenticity. Not as extensive a menu as in some restaurants, but what is offered is good.
Highly recommend Taketori for its delicious unagi don (eel rice set), amazing wagyu sushi and crispy sardines! The scallops and calamari were tasty too but nothing beats the beautifully cooked eel, perfectly paired with a selection of toppings that drastically changes the flavour profile and textural qualities of the dish. The interior is elegant and comfortable, would be perfect for a date or special occasion.
(Sorry for the terrible photos, just couldn't wait to dig in!)
Well, the rating doesnโt seem that great with the restaurant. However do no underestimate the food they bring you. They do make amazing food, however the white version of it. These food are not traditional Japanese style, yet well combined with western countries ideas and tastes. I have to say, itโs not the best Japanese food I had, yet the best white version Japanese food I had.
Get the place late before close up and only ordered the unagi.
Taste really good at this price level.
Pretty good place to go and grab the quick dinner
It is a nice to place to celebrate my birthday. Staff is very friendly and good service. My favorite dishes are wagyu beef which is tender, sashimi which is fresh and Grilled Eel which is delicious. Highly recommend to go with friends.
Atmosphere- very relaxing with nice music. I like
the interior of Taketori.
Service- we were warmly welcomed into the
restaurant. Staffs seems highly
experienced on handling pressure. Food
were coming on the table in good pace,
perfect temperature and nice taste.
Overall, My best food we had on the night is 3 way Unagi bowl which come with 2 sides. It is very tasty and filling also I like the idea of getting to enjoy the Unagi bowl in 3 different way. Must Try.
Secondly, Tuna Tataki and Sardines. Good amount of salmon roe over the tuna and the sauce goes well together. Sardines were bit salty for me but if eaten with sauce and lemon it balances out.
We had amazing night there. Highly recommend for quite and peaceful night.
Would definitely visit again.
Surprise discovery of this nice fusion Japanese restaurant in the city during the Midweek Melbourne Money. Very nice food range. Something different. Good recommendation.
Beautifully prepared and delicious, nice setting and friendly attentive staff. Tried many fancy Japanese restaurants in Melbourne, Sake, Koko ect and like this place more.

๐: Been wanting to try out this Japanese Restaurant for a while now. I knew we made the right decision the moment we stepped in. The place smelled amazing with the aroma of Japanese sauces and seasonings.
โค๏ธ: I got the Miso Glazed Cod Fish Teishoku set which came with multiple sides like salmon sashimi, fish katsu, takoyaki, tuna nigiri, seaweed salad, miso soup, rice, and fruits. The ramen was also delicious if youโre looking for something to warm you up!
Amazing restaurant. One of my favourite Japanese restaurants in Australia. As a foodie I eat outside at least twice a week and appreciate quality and generousity. This place also has a very tranquil and cosy atmosphere.
Been coming here for a little over a year now. Always great, consistent food and service. Great for a date, with friends and even with children. Affordable wine and spirits. Every dish Iโve tried has been tasty. Do try them out.
Had lunch here with the family today. Really great experience all around. Welcoming hosts, excellent food and value for money. The serving sizes were more than adequate from their lunch menu - a welcome surprise. Recommended and I'll be back!
Ordered two kinds of Sashimi. One is the king fish with Yuzu sauce, a new taste, very refreshing, I really enjoyed it ๐ the other is Scallop sashimi, it tastes great as well.
We also ordered the Unagi set, the whole combination is really amazing. I enjoy eating the Unagi with rice and sauce in one scoop.
They also offered soup for you to add in, as one of ways to enjoy Unagi. This set also comes with a big portion, I shared more than half with my boyfriend.
The entire vibe is delicate and elegant. Taketori can be a really good option to consider in a dating occasion.
I would definitely come again and looking forward to taste more different dishes.
