Taiki

Not a great experience went for a late lunch on a weekday. Cold gyoza, mediocre gimbap, katsu kare that tasted like maggi noodles masala and the katsu itself old chicken and cold, prawn jajangmyeon was good and the glass noodles was the only dish with any flavour. The restaurant itself smelled bad and the restroom for dirty! ₹500 for service charge, damn shame. Don't think will be going again.

The location is easy to find and street parking is available. The ambience was a turn down because of the place being too narrow and loud music. Food was well prepared and tasted good. Portions are good too. We had an issue with one of the dish and the staff replaced it with a prompt apology.

We liked the Shoyu Ramen and kkanpunggi. Even though we ordered chicken ramen, chicken made no difference. The ramen itself was great with good flavours. In the end we left the chicken, since it was large chunks of boiled chicken. Kkannpunggi was having a little bit of extra batter, and could feel it in every bite. Since we took this as an appetizer, we got full even before the main course. Overall food is good.

Taiki was spur of the moment hangout with friends, which turned out to be the best decision. Ambience was insanely great especially seatings and the interiors were well thought through for such small space. Buldak was a great choice for starters, wanted to order more of that but refrained to avoid filling our tummy with just Bukdak . Prawn tempura was exceptional but it was a bit oily though. Gyoza was so exquisite in terms of both taste and presentation. Finally the Pad Thai was my favourite main dish (Noodles), although my friend had a contradictory opinion on Jjajangmyeon. Overall one of best and sublime pan asian restaurants in Bangalore.

This restaurant was a random selection for lunch on the basis of the reviews. The ambience was good even the people seemed good. Now why am I giving 1 rating? It's for the act they did. I ordered bibimbap which seemed very delicious, untill I found out hair strands wrapped around the chicken pieces after taking 1 spoon. Kept my calm and thought - Okay it can be a mistake and raised this to waiter . He so confidently said mam "I will replace for u". By that time I m so hungry, that hesitantly shared the food from my friend. Later after 20 mins " replacement" came. It was the same dish they returned without even removing the hair strands again. Got so pissed off, but I didn't wanted to make a scene. So I just paid for the food we had and left. But I felt really disrespected and felt so angry with what they have done. No apologies nothing. I wouldn't go back. Nor recommended. Now I m wondering what level of hygiene would they be keeping. Bad experience.

Food was really good especially the sushi. A very cozy cute place with lovely music. Would definitely do some solo visits here.

The service is slow, the ambience is decent. For my first try at sushi, this was a pretty good experience! I recommend going for "cleaner" tasting dishes like it, since the classic japchae and General Tso's chicken, which had a sauce, seemed too concentrated for my palate.
