Takashi - Menu

Expect to spend a lot of $$$ for high quality of meat! Its been so long that I want to try out this place! Finally me and my bf had a chance to go and we

Heaven. A foodie and beef-lover's dream come true! <br/ One of the most unique food experiences in NYC.<br/ <br/ The staff is extremely knowledgeable.<br/ Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious and of the highest quality.<br/ <br/ Takashi is in the running for for my last meal on Earth. Period.

Nothing else like this. Dining here was a most enjoyable experience. Nikki-uni, tartare, and testicargot (calf fries to any texans reading this) were great starters. Our collective favorite was probably the kalbi (short rib), though the cheeks, sweetbreads, heart, and liver were all way up there. I'd probably pass on the stomachs-a bit too chewy for my taste. The restroom contained it's own novel experience as well. View menu

Takashi, located in the West Village, is a Yakiniku restaurant, essentially meaning they serve “grilled meats.” The experience and environment is both intimate and fun. Everything from the appetizers to the main grilling course is DIY, requiring you to compose or cook it yourself and/or it’s served with piping hot oils and sauces that cook the dish in front of your eyes. Though the food served up is both excellent and fun, the price tag on your meal for the amount you get is just a little too pricey. I found myself satisfied with taste, but hungry and wanting more.

Fantastic, Unique NYC Experience. Usually I want to visit a place a few times before I tell someone about it let alone continue my job as an unpaid restaurant reviewer......<br/ <br/ Takashi is a lot of fun. You can probably expect a bit of a wait the place is pretty tiny. If you have gotten this far then you know what the place is about: you get high quality cuts of raw meat and you cook it on a grill in front of you. or eat it raw which I was inclined to do.<br/ <br/ Warning: Some of the meat is offal. (And Awfully good! <br/ <br/ Grill some beef cheeks, sweetbreads and liver. Add in some raw short ribs served nigri style with uni on top. Mix in some pickled vegetables and some FANTASTIC k...

Tucked away in a little corner of the West Village is Takashi, an intimate dining establishment that specializes in the Japanese version of Korean barbecue known as yakiniku.  Beef or rather all manner of cow is the focus here as the restaurant engages in the practice of horumon which lets no part get wasted. This means a selection of various offal meats are offered on the menu alongside more traditional cuts like kalbi short ribs or kobe steak. The appetizers are also imaginatively meaty with one that features sea urchin atop a piece of raw chuck flap steak meant to be enveloped in seaweed and a single shiso leaf, dipped in soy sauce wasabi and consumed in a single bite. Rice and veggie acc... View menu

Incredible. Visited on a Thursday night. Stopped in around 7:45 and there was an hour wait, so we went across the street to the cash only bar and had some drinks before we came back. We had the option of sitting at the bar or at a table (if we chose the table we only had an hour to eat) due to another party coming in. We chose the table anyways-we cooked ourselves. Everything we ordered was delicious! We had the tartare with a a quail egg to start. This was a huge portion about a little more than the size of my fist which they server mixes together at the table. We also ordered the testicargot, chef's selection of meats (1st, 2nd, and 3rd stomach along with heart and sweetbreads) and also ou...

Awesome, awesome, awesome.. After a lot of very carefully chosen dining, this was the star of my trip to NYC. Came late on a Monday and seated immediately, though the waitress (Mimi, who I highly recommend if she's there-attentive, friendly, and all around awesome) said there'd been a two hour wait the day before. The menu is a combination of creative stuff from the kitchen and meats and offal for the table grill. Is it cheap? Not how we did it, but the service was impeccable. The food was fresh, delicious, and we kept it coming. When we asked what was sweet in the neighborhood for a dessert (as we hadn't seen a dessert menu and had already paid), we had ice creams with salted caramel toppin...

Great service, great food, great experience!. This cozy restaurant is a fantastic place to experience great food and excellent service! We were visiting NYC for our anniversary and we wanted to go there because we saw it on an Anthony Bourdain episode of Layovers. And now I know why it was featured. <br/ <br/ Last night we walked into a wall of glorious smells that made our mouth water. We were greeted very kindly by the hostess (I am sorry I didn 't ask her name , and she seated us as soon as she could. <br/ <br/ Our server Lisa was so welcoming that she made us feel like old friends that she was entertaining in her home. <br/ <br/ The food was amazing! We started with bean sprouts, cabbage... View menu
