Taku Japanese Steakhouse

Great Japanese steakhouse with an extensive menu—everything from sushi to Japanese entrées and shareable appetizers. Everything we tried was excellent, but the duck rolls were an absolute standout and easily my favorite. We didn’t order sushi this time, but the dishes coming out to nearby tables looked incredibly fresh and beautifully presented. The ambiance is perfect for an interactive night out with friends—lively, welcoming, and fun without being overwhelming. Definitely a spot worth checking out, and one I’d happily return to.

This hibachi was giving diet hibachi. Our flame barely scraped 12–15 inches high, while other tables were out here with infernos three times taller. If you’re gonna do hibachi, give us the show — not a candlelight dinner. The kids looked semi bored, and honestly, so was I. I ordered shrimp and scallops. The scallops? Sad. No sear, no crust, just pale little marshmallows looking blobs. Flavor was fine, but where were the sauces? No yum yum, no garlic teriyaki, not even a sad soy sauce packet. At my local spot, they practically drown you in options. Here, we were raw‑dogging hibachi with zero sauce support. Service was like a disappearing act. Our waiter ghosted us after the initial order, and we had to chase him down for refills. When most of the table ordered water, he chuckled like we were auditioning for a comedy set. Bro, just bring the drinks. And don’t get me started on the birthday “celebration.” Other tables got tambourines and a full “Happy Birthday” chorus. My daughter? A half‑hearted “Happy Birthday” tossed in during the onion volcano fire. That’s it. No hype or birthday vibes. Between the weak fire show, sauce famine, and birthday flop, this place is a one‑and‑done. If you want hibachi with actual energy, look elsewhere unless you luck up and get the better chef.

Visited this location in May & had a good experience. Hibachi & service were both good. There were a lot of young baseball players also visiting & celebrating during our visit who seemed to have thoroughly enjoyed their experience. We had a slight wait at the table as if they had forgotten about us but I assumed due to the business.

We came here for a birthday party and we had a great time here. The chef was super friendly and fun. (We noticed there might be some chef that can be inattentive). The food was on the saltier side, but it wasn’t too bad. I believe they serve sushi, and a bar area as well.

This place was nice and clean. I like the sashimi, was super fresh and delicious! Rice and noodles were a good portion too. Service was really slow though, we had to keep asking for things. It was loud, but that’s expected at a hibachi spot. Fun to watch the food being cooked in front of us, but our chef didn’t do any tricks, which was a little disappointing since other tables looked like they were having so much fun. Overall, good food, fun vibe, but could definitely improve on service and consistency in the chef experience. Still a decent night out!

I recently dined at this Japanese hibachi restaurant and was pleasantly surprised by the experience. The atmosphere was warm, modern, and sophisticated—perfect for a night out with friends or a cozy date night. The food overall was good, with fresh ingredients and solid flavor. The standout for me was definitely the yum yum sauce—it added the perfect touch to every bite and had me going back for more! Service was friendly and attentive, contributing to an enjoyable dining experience. However, I did notice that our chef wasn’t very mindful when it came to distributing the food among the guests at our table. It wasn’t a major issue, but a little more balance would have made the meal feel more complete. All in all, it’s a great spot with good food and a welcoming vibe. I’d go back, especially for another helping of that yum yum sauce!

Great spot for Japanese hibachi and great hot sake. Just took the point off for the server experience was not as great as we observed on other tables and issue with order mix up could have been handled well.

A+ Hibachi, A+ service. Good sushi too, Angry Dragon Roll is very impressive. They're also one of the only restaurants in all of PA with Dassai in stock. Highly recommend.

So good! Newer restaurant in king of Prussia that does an amazing food. The food portions are huge and the service/entertainment is impressive. I love the modern feel/look of the restaurant that just creates a fun vibe. Can't go wrong with Taku!

Restaurant is absolutely beautiful inside and out. Best hibachi experience I've ever had amazing food the portion size is very good for the price the cook was hilarious I got chicken and shrimp with fried rice. Amazing. Will be taking girlfriend here again for anniversary

I had a lot of fun here, i went alone and the bartenders kept me entertained with their banter and antics. they were all super sweet and fun. its nice and new inside, sleek but comfortable. the fish was super fresh and tasty, super thick cuts too. I got the lychee martini, asian pear martini, and an old fashioned. The asian pear was my favorite. One of the bartenders also let me try his philadelphia cocktail. great experience all around thank you guys! really "made" my solo date :-)

Food (hibachi) was phenomenal! The service was quick as well. 4 of us and we were in and out in about an hour with a reservation. It's a fun atmosphere and the dining room is all open and bright which was fun!

Tried out this hibachi steakhouse and surprisingly not bad! The filet and lobster were nice and tender, vegetables and fried rice were a delicious pairing (if I'm being picky...carrots were a bit undercooked and hard to chew). Another thing that bothered me was the server had accidentally touched the soup with his thumb in it as he served it to us, I didn't end up drinking it due to that reason. Service was attentive and quick with the food. The atmosphere was very lively. You can choose to sit at a booth or by the tables where they cook in front of you. Great place for a crowd and to take the family for some fun! Overall the value of the dishes was worth its price - I would give my experience a 3.5 star review!

Food is way way high price . Duck roll is $15 horrible. Seafood Deluxe $45 has no mussels in that doesn't have any more seafood. Only Lobster, Shrimp and Scallops. Horrible. Wine $10 is too much. Just Chicken Udon Soup $18 r u serious? Service is not perfect but is good.

My partner and I participated in the King of Prussia restaurant week that's currently taking place at the time of this review and have truly enjoyed the food and experience. I like Hibachi because of rhetorical theatrics. The "comedy" of the cook, the food tossing, the sake, the flavors, and the portion sizes. We enjoyed the service from the time we walked in until the time we left. This location is a good size with a dining room and separate hibachi section. The hibachi section has about 12 stations that can accommodate roughly 8 people at each station. The clear soup with mushrooms was good. The creamy crab Rangoon with dipping sauce was delicious. The fried rice was perfect. The shrimp, yum, and the vegetables to top it off. I also enjoyed my flaming espresso martini (again I like the theatrics so I like that my drink was set a blaze) and the dessert of tempura ice cream was scrumptious. I would return to this restaurant and try something from the general menu.

Came here for lunch on a weekday. Food: 3 Decor: 3 Service: 3 Sushi & Sashimi Platter $30.00 5 pcs sushi, 6 pcs sashimi with 1 spicy tuna roll ~3/5. Good portions, although overall I thought the quality was just okay.

Nice place with very good wait staff and excellent service. We had sushi rolls, all were very good. We also ordered hibachi which was cooked very well and decent portions. The cocktails were flavorful but could use more alcohol. All in all it was a very nice experience. They provided fried ice cream dessert for my daughter since it was her birthday for free. Would recommend.

Tried a few different varieties of dim sum. The food was very good and I will be back to try more with the family. It was a little bit, annoying how many times they came up to take my order without letting me read the menu from my tiny phone screen. Also had to ask for a new plate as it was chipped. And also a new soy sauce container as it was very crusty. When I went to go to the bathroom before the food arrived, somebody took all my place settings and wiped down the table as though I had left. So the service was a little haphazard with inexperienced staffing. But again the food was exceptional and I will try it again. Although inexperienced the staff was very courteous.

A fantastic extra delight with a great meal experience! We took advantage of their lunch special for my birthday and it was nearly empty- just 3 other small parties including another birthday for hibachi and a few people around the restaurant/sushi bar. We had fantastic service, regular check ins for refills and anticipated boxes and all the normal restaurant meal things. The hibachi was fun, some slinging and flinging and fire, not too crazy but that's expected for just a few people and a small order, the chef was very nice and asked us lots of questions and kept conversation going. And the food was really awesome- great portions, good seasoning, they accommodated a mushroom allergy without missing a beat. And their cocktail was genuinely memorable and delicious. Extra points for putting the ABV next to each item, not something you usually see but is great info on selection. Their location near the KoP Regal means easy plentiful parking and I bet they get pretty crowded for the weekend celebration crowd. I had the perfect birthday lunch and would go back in a heartbeat.

Whatever you do, don't order to go food from here. We spent $13 on the spicy dancing shrimp for it to come super soggy and literally just be tempera shrimp with sauce on the side. We also spent $32 on the Ny strip steak and chicken combo to get, literally I counted, 5 super thick, tough pieces of steak and 7 burnt and super dry thin pieces of chicken and a unnecessarily large about of vegetables underneath it to make it seem like it was worth $32. The noodles and rice tasted exactly the same with no flavor difference and it was salty. Super disappointing and would absolutely never recommend nor eat here again. We ended up throwing it away after forcing ourselves to eat some of it. Avoid spending an unnecessary amount of your money and choose another place.

The food was delicious and the staff was very accommodating of our party. They even went out of their way to provide a birthday dessert and sing along! We had a great time, definitely will be back.

One of the best hibachi restaurants I've been to. Most have declined in quality over the years, Food and chefs are excellent. Service could be better but I think We had a bus boy they were using as a waiter the last time I was there. Will return as food is great and so are drinks. Should be a 3 1/2 star.

I came with a group of 8 for a birthday and I was the only one who didn't get hibachi but I was still included in the hibachi fun! The crab ragoon were really good, perfect filling to wrapper ratio. I got the dynamite roll, I think it is overpriced but it was tasty. I did try the hibachi and I'm glad I opted for sushi. It is just overpriced fried rice but I guess you're paying more for the experience. Seeing other hibachi experiences I felt like this one was short, he didn't do the volcano trick but service was decent nevertheless. They do automatically charge 20% for gratuity but it's labeled as a service charge, this was confusing because we thought it was for hibachi and had to tip additional. That should be made more clear on the initial receipt. I would skip out on this location, definitely better places in the area!

I was really looking forward to trying this place out after seeing this place on instagram. The place looked amazing. I'm starting to think this experience is just for the hibachi part of the restaurant. The standard experience was just okay to me. The crab Rangoon appetizer was crispy but the filling was a little sweet. I got the pina colada drink and it was just mostly ice. My friend got the blueberry pie martini and said it was really good. For my entree, I got the shrimp and salmon hibachi. I ordered the fried rice as my choice of side. I also got a side of clear soup. The soup was delicious and hot. The shrimp and salmon were good and served with some sort of Mayo. The restaurant was pretty empty when we arrived, but the hibachi side started to fill up very quickly. It was nice to check out. I am not sure if I would go back.

Enjoyed Taku's for lunch yesterday, and it was the perfect afternoon break I needed. I was there with 3 friends and we had just missed the lunch specials by a few minutes but that was okay. Since it was late afternoon, the restaurant wasn't too crowded which was really nice. We were seated right away and place our orders fairly quickly. Everything came out pretty fast! The service was great and by the time we were leaving, the dining room was starting to fill up with the early dinner crowd!

I was really excited to try this place! Me and my friend saw this place posted on Instagram so we had to check it out since we love hibachi. We decided to sit at the hibachi table where they would cook in front of us. Our chef was hilarious and cracked a bunch of jokes as he cooked. The inside was beautifully decorated and the place was spacious. First off I thought the hibachi combos were priced like other hibachi places so I didn't think anything of it. My friend and I both got the salmon and shrimp combo. We got a ton of noodles that were delicious. A decent amount of veggies. And then.. the disappointing part was the amount of meat you actually get. I got the smallest piece of salmon and maybe 4-5 jumbo shrimp. Other hibachi places you get so much of everything! I also got this flaming sushi roll where I thought they would light it on fire (which was why I was willing to pay $20 for the roll) and they just wrapped it in foil and lit the foil up. Very anticlimactic. The roll was good but super tiny and I didn't think it was worth the $20. My leftovers were good but I was wishing more meat! Not sure the food was worth the amount of money I paid compared to other hibachi places #overpriced.

Have been here twice and neither have disappointed. Excellent service by the wait staff and the chefs are fun and entertaining. Try the duck roll or pork bun apps. Both are flavorful and tender. On the hibachi I've tried the filet, strip, scallops, and chicken. All are tender and juicy and cooked just right.

Sushi was good,drinks awesome. The waitress was really helpful. I have to try a happy hour there

Absolutely loved the hibachi. The food was perfect. The rice was amazing, my absolute favorite. It was moist and tasted great. Service was very fast. The seats in the hibachi area are very tight, you sit very close to other people. You only get soup as an appetizer and only rice. Have to pay extra for salad and noodles if you want them. Very pricey compared to other hibachis in the area.

My friend and I went to Taku for a hibachi dinner and were so happy with the food, service, and overall experience! At Taku, you have the option to dine at a regular table or be seated at a hibachi table. The menu has a variety of hibachi entrees and combinations, regular entrees, hot and cold appetizers, signature sushi rolls, and other yummy Asian fusion dishes! The interior is massive, clean, and well-designed. Taku also has a spacious bar area that serves delicious, creative cocktails!

We've been here a few times and enjoyed it each time. The place is clean and reservations are managed on time. The food is great and the cooks are entertaining! The ambiance is fun.

The food, cocktails, and service are consistently good. The food portions are generous given the price.

I have very mixed feelings about writing this review because I'm all for new businesses. I'm thinking maybe this place just needs some time and the food will get better. So went here for a birthday dinner because we've tried a lot of places around here already and wanted something new. You can make reservations on opentable if you have a big party and are worry about wait time. I found that on a weekday it's not very busy so reservations are unnecessary. There's plenty of parking so no worries there either. The decor is quite modern and makes you feel the need to dress up however the atmosphere is quite casual so the choice is yours. The staff are quite friendly and very attentive. You can either sit at the dining section or the hibachi section if you want some excitement. We went with the dining side as our group all wanted to order different things. Out of all the dishes, only two was good: the miso soup and the udon soup. I got a sushi dinner, someone got hibachi entree, shrimp with fried rice, another person got shumai, and I forget the other orders because it wasn't very memorable. The most memorable part was them complaining about it but still trying to eat it to support the business. All and all the place is okay just not worth the price to me. At the price we paid, I felt like we all should've liked more than two dishes. Will I come back? Maybe in a year just to see if they're a little more settled and got a hang of things.

This place has run down. The fried tempura tasted very frozen and some vegetables were undercooked. The sushi does not have fresh ingredient. The stir fry was bland.

It was nice to try a new place. Food and service was excellent! Can't wait to go back, the kids loved it!

Delicious cocktails to match the delicious meal. Great entertainment and great service.

Decor is 5 stars, but food (at least the hibachi dishes) are just bad--it's like eating at a mall food court, maybe even worse. I had hibachi combo (chicken and salmon, plus shrimp sampler). Not only my fried rice was lukewarm, it just tasted bland yet greasy. My husband's noodle in his hibachi steak dish was slightly better, but lukewarm and greasy as well. The inside decoration makes this restaurant looks very fancy and quite high end, but the food doesn't match the decoration. Service was incredibly inattentive during our lunch. Our server constantly disappeared. We ended up having to go to the bar asking for her to pay. I won't come back soon. There are plenty of decent sushi and hibachi places that charge way less--they may not have the same nice fancy inside decoration, but the food is better. As my writing this review, the worst part is unfolding. On the menu, the New York Strip Steak Hibachi is $29, but they are billing it $30. We had to ask the server to bring back the menu to show her the price discrepancy. They just opened, so how is it possible that price is already changed?

Great food, and server was amazing! Love the booths, super fun for birthday. Plenty of parking

Wow! Now this is the way all Japanese restaurants should be in the USA . Their sushi and sashimi are air delivered directly from the Tsukiji Fish Market in Tokyo, Japan. They have the best hibachi tables here too for birthdays and holidays and any day really. Who says it needs to be a special occasion for Japanese hibachi? Right? Tonight I decided to get something different and ordered the Chilean Sea Bass which was absolutely delicious and stupendous! The last time I was here I went traditional Japanese, sushi entree + miso soup and Chinese crab Rangoons to support the local Philadelphia children's hospitals for their charity promotion at the time. This is by far my favorite Japanese restaurant ever now. It just doesn't get any better than Tsukiji Fish Market imported sushi and sashimi ingredients and grand hibachi tables. You must try this retain if you're in the King of Prussia area. It's something really special and unique.

We've only ordered sushi takeout from here 3x. We enjoyed each meal. We're incredibly delighted to find a sushi spot nearby with high quality and varieties of fish not usually offered elsewhere in their typical platters. One tiny critique is that their regular salmon was a bit on the soft end.

Food was amazing!! Loved everything. They dont serve "lunch" on Sundays so beware it will be full price.

Check your bill if you have a party of 6 or more. It really is egregious the way they handle billing. They add a 20% service fee (aka forced tip) to the main bill. Then they calculate the suggested tip on the credit card receipt based on the total of your meal + the already added mandatory 20% tip(aka service fee). If you are not paying attention, you'll give them two full tips with the second one actually tipping your tip. Definitely a questionable business practice when not pointed out neither in the reservation process nor at delivery of the bill. I noticed the term "extra tips" on the credit card receipt otherwise I would have unknowingly double tipped. There needs to be some more transparency around this billing process. Food was good, chef was great, and restaurant was clean with good energy and ambience.

In July 2024 I experienced Hibachi for the very first time. Sitting at a table with people we didn't know was enjoyable as there was someone celebrating their birthday. We had a great time as everyone talked to each other from different cultural backgrounds. Watching the way the food is cooked was exciting and funny and let me tell you...the food tastes VERY Good! I will return and bring more people for sure!!!!!

I went for lunch today with a friend at around 1pm. It was very quiet. Ambiance: Walking in, the bar is right to your right and the hibachi table area is up a couple steps to your left. There is an area/plenty of dining tables located near the bar.The set up is very modern and has an upscale feel. Food: The food was AMAZING. The lunch specials available were GREAT! As an appetizer, I got the shrimp tempura rolls. They were DELICIOUS! As my lunch special meal, I ordered the meat combo (NY strip steak and shrimp) hibachi with veggies and noodles. The lunch specials also came with a soup and salad. They were both yummy as well. The hibachi was cooked in front of us. It was entertaining to watch...nothing out of the ordinary from any hibachi restaurant. The steak was cooked perfectly. It could have used SOME seasoning in my opinion. The sauce it was cooked in helped add some flavor. I probably should have asked for more of that specific sauce in the side. The fried rice was truly amazing. They were soft yet not mushy. My friend and I cleared our plates. Service: The beginning of my visit here was musical chairs. Initially we sat at the table but asked to be moved to the hibachi area. The hostess sits my friend and I to an hibachi table that is already occupied by a family. Personally, my friend and I had no problem with it. A member of the party whispered something to one of the waiters and we were asked to move. We apologized to the other party if we made the family feel uncomfortable and moved to an empty hibachi area. We pick our own seats directly in front of the stove and are asked to move to the side of the stove. The reasoning? They wanted us to sit at the side of the stove for 15 mins to see if another party was going to arrive. If no one showed, then we could move back in front. We waited our 15 mins and moved back to the front of the stove.....but wait there's more......Due to how they put our hibachi orders in, my friend and I HAD to switch seats....I don't know why the chef couldn't simply switch the noodles to my side of the stove and my friend's to his side. Extra difficultly about seating for no reason....there was no one there. They did apologize throughout this process but it was completely unnecessary and uncomfortable. Besides playing musical chairs the staff was extremely nice and attentive. Our waiter came around to refill my water and my wine without the need to ask. The chef that prepared our meal did a great job. Everything was prepared quickly. We were only there for about an hour. The bill without tip came up to about 96. We ended up ordering 2 apps, 2 lunch specials and 2 glasses of wine. The price was pretty fair for me. Great experience. I would go back again...hopefully without difficulty seating.

Great Food and Service. We had a blast! The vibes and ambience were incredible. Definitely coming back

Tried this place for the first time today for lunch! It was so good, my only opinion would be a little more chicken lol but the veggies were so good and tasty, the chicken was nicely seasoned and the fried rice was just what I needed! The host was so friendly and the inside of this restaurant is so beautiful! I will def be back for drinks and more food, I looked over the menu while waiting for my order(which was super fast btw) and I can't wait to come back!!! I wanted to try a drink while I was there but I had to go back to the office lol

The food, service and ambience is great! I definitely recommend this restaurant for lunch or dinner with your family.

This place is located behind the king of Prussia mall. There is plenty of parking. The ambiance is clean and newer with kind of an electric feel. The tables they cook hibachi on are smaller than I'm used to at a hibachi place. The servers are friendly and attentive. The cook we had was less skilled but still had a positive attitude. I ordered the combo b with medium rare filet, shrimp and scallops. The clear soup was tasty. The rice was overcooked as was the egg in it. There wasn't much of a show but the food was decent.

The hibachi chefs here were hilarious and entertaining! The service was great. The food was delicious. I will be back.

Absolutely love this place Family friendly and everyone was great, everything from the food to the drinks was outstanding. My child who is a picky eater ate her Hibachi. We will definitely visit again soon.

We met friends at Taku for dinner on a Monday night. I like that Taku allows reservations through OpenTable. We were seated immediately (all four of us opted for hibachi). They did have a Happy Hour during the time we went, so my friend and I ordered Blueberry Pie martinis, and they were delicious - nice mix of sweet and sour. My husband and I also ordered the Creamy Crab Rangoon, which came with a sweet chili sauce. This was excellent too! For entrees, we all opted for filet and shrimp or shrimp and New York strip. The hibachi entrees came with clear soup, vegetables, and rice or noodles. The food was amazing, and I thought they gave generous portions of the vegetables and rice/noodles (I was enjoying it so much I forgot to take a picture). I was happy to have leftovers. My favorite was the shrimp - I think next time I do hibachi I'd get all shrimp. The fried rice was delicious. I love having yum yum sauce with the rice. I forget our cooks name, but he was very personable and funny. I like that he shot us some sake in our mouths too! Our server was nice, but I don't like that he didn't offer us any dessert when he dropped our check. The ambiance of the restaurant was cool and kind of reminds me of a museum. I'd love to try Taku's sushi next time. I'm looking forward to going back!

Loved it here. Nice ambience perfect for photos. Spacious interior so we weren't on top of each other or on top of other guests. Quick service with fun chefs and plenty of food. The servings were more than enough and enough for left overs. Reallly a great place for people of all ages including families and babies. Would definitely visit again. Had a great time.

Nahn is the best bartender in the area. This place has truly become our "go-to"...She always has a smile, remembers everything, and offers fun new suggestions each time we visit! The sushi is excellent and cocktails are unique and delicious. I'd list my faves but there are just too many!!

Beautiful place! Went yesterday with 5 friends. We didn't do the hibachi experience just regular dining but we could still order hibachi. We got 5 appetizers for the table and martinis all around. Drinks very reasonably priced and good. Service was fantastic. Our server was extremely attentive and on top of things. We ordered a mix of sushi and seafood hibachi. Seems as though everyone enjoyed their meal. I would say price wise it is a bit on the higher end. Rolls are about 9-12 (I would usually pay around 7) for a tuna or eel roll and 20+ for a specialty roll (I'm used to like 14-16). They gave free dessert for my friend's birthday which I thought was sweet. Definitely worth a try. Unfortunately found out this morning a bunch of our party got sick overnight so had to amend to 3 stars instead. This is concerning. Thankfully I didn't have sushi but seems it might have been the raw tuna.

Looking for a good hibachi? Well Taku hits all of the right notes. My family tried this place and we are really impressed with the food. The meat was juicy, the fried rice and the noodles were cooked just right. The sauce was just enough but not too much to overwhelm the meat taste. The seasoning was just done right. They vegetables were cooked lightly to keep them from over cooking. Yes. I recommend this place if you are near king of prussia. Well done chef Jim!

Tried out Taku Japanese Steak House in King of Prussia with my partner before going to see Into the Spiderverse 2 at the movie theater next door. We had a really enjoyable dinner before the movie! The food is very tasty and the staff work very hard to make the experience fun and engaging. I had a hibachi combo with fried rice, scallops and shrimp. The fried rice was super yummy. My partner had the hibachi combo with noodles, salmon and steak. The steak was nice and juicy! We tried the cheesecake and the fried ice cream for dessert. I'm not usually into classic cheesecake but their slice was quite good! I definitely recommend this restaurant for a night out in King of Prussia.

A nice Japanese Restaurant in King of Prussia across from the mall. I'm from Hawaii though I live in California now in Silicon Valley. I am part Japanese and I know Japanese comfort food well. The Dragon Roll was delicious but the Tempura could have been thinner crusted. I'm accustomed to a thinner Ponzu sauce. Taku means home in Japanese and this place though fancy is reminiscent of a good home cooked Japanese meal. I would come here again.
