Came with a group of 5 so got to sample many different items on the menu. From a value for experience, felt that Takja definitely delivered on what we expected coming in. I loved the Hangar Steak, but some of the best bites we had were the Iberico Pork, as well as the super crispy seafood pancakes. Highly recommend! Will be back again for sure.
Best KBBQ place, hands down. Food is of great quality. They do the cooking for you so you still get to see the spectacle but don't have to do the work. Freed up to enjoy your company and the atmosphere and to concentrate on the food. It is pricey, very pricey. But once in a while, to treat yourself or a special occasion, this is the spot.
What a wonderful experience at Takja. I would rate the experience on par with Cote NYC. Overall the meat was of good quality and the service was phenomenal. During our seating the owner came out from the kitchen to help cook food for everyone. The uni seafood pancake was delicious. The beef was perfect and no seasoning was required. Overall a wonderful experience.
Finally got to try Takja for my birthday dinner a few months ago. It’s on the pricier side, but honestly worth the money for the quality and overall experience. The meat was great, service was super attentive, and the best part is that you don’t have to cook anything yourself, which made it feel more like a relaxing night out. The restaurant was well ventilated, we left the red not smelling like BBQ, which is a major plus. Would highly recommend going if you’re looking for a more upscale kbbq!
I was told this was one of the top 25 restaurants in Canada and from my experience there I completely believe that. From the moment we walked in we were greeted and seated efficiently and without fuss. Drink orders were taken promptly, and delivered with equal efficiency. We were a party of 8, so split across two tables, which worked perfectly. The food was fantastic, prepared in front of us, and interestingly described. Everything about our evening was perfect. Will definitely come here again when I'm in Toronto. I wish I had taken more photos!
Probably the nicest KBBQ place i’ve been to. Got the set menu with the apps, select meats, and dessert and thought it was very excellent value and experience. Seafood tower was delicious with an interesting gochujang sauce. Normally don’t like seafood pancake but this one was delicious and there was a touch of yuzu on the uni. All the meats were very tender and juicy. The server cooked and cut and served for us which was great. Mushroom rice was very nice too but not a truffle flavour. Was particularly surprised by the bingsu dessert. The coffee one tasted like Haagen-daz coffee ice cream and the blueberry was refreshing with blueberry jam and mascarpone inside. Overall everything was very delicious and I’ll come again soon.
Phenomenal experience, ordered the hansang & every single item was thoughtfully presented. Even things I didn’t think I would like, were delicious. My favorite was the aged hanger, surprisingly tender & very flavorful . All the staff were welcoming & attentive. Well worth the splurge/can’t wait to go back
By far the best Korean bbq in Toronto. It’s a splurge but worth it. They deserve a Michelin star. Everything was delicious and service is amazing as well
