Takja BBQ House

Got the set menu with apps and drinks. The entire experience was very good but overpriced for what we got. All of the servers were terrific and cooked everything to perfection. The sides were great, especially the pickled jalapeno. Can't complain about the meal except that, for the price point, I expected more of a wow factor. All of the dishes were great but nothing really stood out as amazing.

Probably the nicest KBBQ place i’ve been to. Got the set menu with the apps, select meats, and dessert and thought it was very excellent value and experience. Seafood tower was delicious with an interesting gochujang sauce. Normally don’t like seafood pancake but this one was delicious and there was a touch of yuzu on the uni. All the meats were very tender and juicy. The server cooked and cut and served for us which was great. Mushroom rice was very nice too but not a truffle flavour. Was particularly surprised by the bingsu dessert. The coffee one tasted like Haagen-daz coffee ice cream and the blueberry was refreshing with blueberry jam and mascarpone inside. Overall everything was very delicious and I’ll come again soon.

What a wonderful experience at Takja. I would rate the experience on par with Cote NYC. Overall the meat was of good quality and the service was phenomenal. During our seating the owner came out from the kitchen to help cook food for everyone. The uni seafood pancake was delicious. The beef was perfect and no seasoning was required. Overall a wonderful experience.

My wife and I live nearby and came for our Anniversary. First off, Toronto has some negatives, but being able to dress up and walk to some of the best food in Canada is something very unique to TO. Service was amazing -- attentive, but not intrusive. No rushing, if you wanted to talk about your experience, they were welcoming and informative. If you were in conversation at your table, they silently went about hosting and bbqing. Shout out to Tom and the staff -- amazing job and thanks for making our night a success. The design of the room is nothing short of extraordinary -- the ability for the room to have no hint of smoke or grilled food smells is an amazing feat of HVAC design and thoughtful choices of seating and equipment. Washrooms are upstairs which is a big plus. All the meat -- seafood, pork, beef, was amazing. The brains behind Oroshi's seafood have transferred their mastery of dry-aging to meat. Some of the best pork I've ever had. Tender, full of flavor and excellently balanced with the banchan. We definitely will be back. If we can get a table -- this place was booked solid on a TUESDAY!

Went here to celebrate some big milestones and was happily thrilled with the service, quality and food 😊 The staff was super attentive and the ambiance of the restaurant was intimate but also lively. We opted for the $135 set menu offering amazing cuts of meats, an array of house made banchans, bingsoo to finish. They also gifted us rice wine 💖. The staff will cook for you as you enjoy the experience entirely. Their cocktails were also very tasty a excellent pairing with your meal. Highly recommend if you want to try a different type of kbbq !!

Finally got to try Takja for my birthday dinner a few months ago. It’s on the pricier side, but honestly worth the money for the quality and overall experience. The meat was great, service was super attentive, and the best part is that you don’t have to cook anything yourself, which made it feel more like a relaxing night out. The restaurant was well ventilated, we left the red not smelling like BBQ, which is a major plus. Would highly recommend going if you’re looking for a more upscale kbbq!

Celebrated our 50th birthdays here. The food and service was impeccable. I was so impressed! And that's after just touring some amazing places in Korea recently. Must try!

Upscale Korean BBQ near Little Italy. The service here is excellent - attentive waiters grill the meats for you table-side to the desired level of doneness. Highly recommend the dry-aged ribeye (so tender and perfect amount of fat), coppa, and the iberico press and plums cuts. Also the vegetable option!!! The zucchini and mushrooms tasted so good when grilled using the beef tallow. Also - they will refill the banchan and lettuce for you to wrap your meats in. Their lettuce is also very fresh! Great for groups of 3-5 people

We ordered the Hangsang set menu and it was an incredible dinner. The seafood pancake was a standout, one of the best I've had, and the uni topping paired well with it. The seafood tower was on the smaller side but made up for it with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The chef selected beef selection was top-tier, featuring high-quality pork, wagyu beef, and a strip loin exclusive to the set menu. All were excellent, the wagyu was our favourite and melted in our mouths. The variety of sides, including different greens (cabbage, perilla leaf, lettuce) and the mushroom bibimbap, that our server recommended we add the squid sauce with took the experience to another level. We ended the night with bingsoo, which had a surprisingly strong flavour but was enjoyable. The service was excellent, our server cooked everything for us, was attentive, and provided great recommendations. Definitely a spot worth trying at least once!

Definitely the fanciest Korean bbq I've ever had. Apparently it's the same owner as Mott 32. Seafood pancake was thick and delicious, sujebi clam soup was so umami. The meats were grilled to perfection by our Server. While I thought the grapefruit Binsoo was quite pricey at $24++ it was refreshing especially with the meringue. Service was top notch, he knew when to chime in and when to give us space. The food was delicious as well. Cool space with dry aged meat in the windows. It was the attention to details with the service that really wowed me.

My boyfriend and I stopped by for dinner on a Friday night after snagging a last-minute reservation. We'd heard great things about this place and were excited to finally try it. Since we weren't too hungry, we ordered two meat dishes, seasonal vegetables, and seafood pancakes. For the meat, we chose the dry-aged ribeye and prime hanger steak--both were incredibly delicious. The seafood pancake was flavorful but a bit on the heavier side. Our server was super helpful and even cooked the food for us. Overall, the food was fantastic, and we had a wonderful dining experience. Takja BBQ has a more upscale vibe and is perfect for a date night or an intimate gathering with friends.

Takja BBQ is a new Korean BBQ spot in Toronto. From the minds behind Oroshi Fish Co. comes this elevated Korean BBQ. They have top notch dry aged meat from A5 Wagyu Ribeye to Iberico Pluma. We got the Hansang which means "A table full of food". They will fill the table for you and you get to try a little bit of everything. It comes with a Seafood tower, seafood pancake, pork and beef, mushroom stone pot rice, and Bingsoo. We ordered Beef tartare which was not part of the Hansang. It was different from any beef tartare I have had before. It was definitely Korean style beef tartare with the gochujang. The ambiance was really modern and clean. Overall, I had a great experience.

High end KBBQ place located on College West. This is the first place like this in Toronto as it's like a fancy and pricier KNBQ spot. It's a great restaurant for a date night. The servers cook your meats for you so you don't have to worry about doneness. A lot of their meats are dry aged and nice quality. I definitely recommend getting the seafood pancake as an appetizer. I also loved the different kinds of veggies they gave for ssam wrap. I didn't get a chance to try their shaved ice for dessert which looked super good. I ordered a yuzu spritzer for a.non-alcoholic beverage and really liked it. The servers were very nice, knowledgeable and attentive. I was pleasantly surprised to not smell like kbbq smoke afterwards!

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal, we had the HANGSANG which was a selection that included the seafood tower, the pancake, a cut of pork, three choices of beef including the A5 Wagyu. The meal was terrific, from the flavours to the high quality cut of meat, and the service was excellent. This will be my favourite BBQ place.
