    Food is excellent. The onigiri is delicious & miso soup is insanely good. For those of us that LOVE Japan, Takenaka gives you a little taste of the flavours we miss from our travels abroad.

    Their ordering system needs work to speed things along. Although the staff are super friendly and helpful, there seems to be confusion with the orders and what they have in stock.
