TAKI TAKI BO BAKI


Dinner at Taki's was very good. I know from the outside this place looks like a crappy Japanese version of a Burger King. It's actually quite delicious. Two words: Real Plates. No plastic here, it's real plates, real silverware, real bowls, and real spoons for the miso soup. I had the tofu and udon bowl which was terrific. you get a bowl of soup as big as your head with big chunks of tofu, a good amount of udon noodles, vegetables, and tempura vegetables. It's about 6 bucks, which isn't bad. I had a side order of veggie gyoza as well, which are also terrific.

Alana had the tofu steak which we've found is served differently every time. Tonight the sauce was drizzled on the side, which is fine, but I think that when it's actually drizzled on the tofu it looks much better. Anyway, the moral of the story is eat at Taki's, especially if the sassy Japanese (I believe that's her ethnicity) in the beatnik hat is running the register. She's worth the price of admission.
