Japanese Adventures @ Taketori

Walking along King st, we decided to dine at Taketori because of our cravings for Japanese food. From the moment we entered we were greeted with an enthusiastic waitress and shown to our table.

I forgot to take pictures, but the interior of the restaurant was really nice, it could've came off as a fine-dining atmosphere. Difficult to explain, if you ever do come here, you can see for yourself.

Agedashi Tofu ($9)
Deep fried bean curd with dashi sauce

The Agedashi Tofu was disappointing, it was lacking the crispiness it should have and the overall flavour was bland. 
(2/5)

Ika Fry ($10)
Deep fried squid ring served with spicy mayo

The Ika Fry was average, nothing that great but nothing that would make it bad. The spicy mayo was actually a wasabi mayo which i didn't like as much.
(2.5/5)

Takoyaki ($8)
Teriyaki octopus balls served with shaved bonito

The Takoyaki was a crowd pleaser, topped with what i will assume is wasabi mayo and teriyaki sauce it was a pleasing combination. 
(3.5/5)

Tori KaraAge ($9)
Lightly marinated crispy chicken served with fresh mint leaf

In regards to entrees that were ordered, the Tori Karage was my favourite our of the 4. Served hot and crispy it was a delicious treat, though 'fresh mint leaf' was nowhere to be found and i will that it was the dipping sauce. The dipping sauce, was confusing, it didn't work well at all with the chicken and was just conflicting flavours.
(3.5/5)

Tempura Udon ($17)
hot udon in soup served with battered fried prawn


Quite average, the soup base was mediocre and was lacking in flavour. For $17, you can find better udon elsewhere. The udon itself was nice and smooth.
(2.5/5)
Food - 5/10
Ambiance - 7/10
Service - 6/10
Total FoOodie Points- 18/30
