"Takashi was a Japanese yakiniku restaurant known for its tabletop grilling, communal eating, and interactive dining experience. Opened in April 2010 by Saheem Ali and chef Takashi Inoue, it became popular for its unique dishes involving various parts of the cow, including multiple stomachs and aorta. Despite its success and being a favorite of the late Anthony Bourdain, the restaurant permanently closed due to the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and the death of chef Inoue in 2017." - Serena Dai
