It's been 4 years since I was last at TAKATO. Not much has changed, except the prices. The food is great, but for what you get now, hardly worth it. I had the Wagyu Skirt. Same as I had 4years ago. It was delicious but it wasn't a $38.00 cut to my mind. The service was so-so but the interior decor, gorgeous, and the place spotlessly clean.

Food was amazing, service was very good considering how busy the restaurant was. We had drinks, salads entrees, and dessert. Nothing was left to be desired. The price points were pretty high but was to be expected in this swanky establishment located on the second floor of the Conrad hotel. With validation for the valet parking which brought the price to $16. All in all it was a very enjoyable evening with my honey. With pictures to share!!!!

Spicy Hotate maki

I've been to Takato before, and returned to celebrate my anniversary with my boyfriend. After returning and reconsidering, I must say I did find the food and portions quite pricey for what you get. You do have to consider that it is ocean-front dining and you do get a spectacular view no doubt! However, if you are there for the food rather than the view, it is definitely a higher priced spot. Price aside, the flavors were very good. My boyfriend and I both loved the flavor of the spicy edamame and I'd highly recommend that dish! We also had the crispy tuna, and I do have to warn that if you are sensitive to spice, this dish is probably one you should pass on. We also had the baked scallops, but I was a bit shocked by how small they were. Along with the spicy edamame, our other favorite for the night was the blue crab and scallop maki. Loved that one both times that I had it! The service was nice, although I do wish that for a pricier spot they had asked if we were celebrating any special occasion. Nonetheless, we had a wonderful dinner with a beautiful view!

Food amazing! Service amazing! Ambiance amazing! Oysters 9/10-so refreshing! It had chopped apples! Delicious! Crispy Rice w/Tuna 10/10 nothing original- however crispy rice was super hot and crispy! Flavor and tuna texture so good! Yellowtail sushi roll 10/10- doesn't seem like much in the photo- but one of the best yellow tail rolls I've eaten. Lightweight portion of fresh yellowtail- with light greens- Ribs 100/10 yes I rated it 100/10!!! Literally falls off bone and so fluffy and flavorful! Slaw is a nice refreshing texture! Wagyu gyoza 8.9- super flavorful and cooked to perfection- however needed salt to bring out flavors. Chef needs to taste- Lobster udon 8/10- huge fresh chunks of lobster with udon noodles- lobster quality was good but noodles could've been more al dente - kimchi beef rice- 9.2 perfect dish for carbs and protein. Devine. - sushi for dessert! They legit took rice crispy treat-rolled it out- spread vanilla ice cream on top and rolled it like a sushi roll! Served with chocolate sauce for dipping and berries. Tell this isn't genius! Danny the waiter!!! By far the best waiter I've had in the longest! Customer service isn't dead! Paced our small dishes accordingly- referred to my champagne as bubbles- yes that's why we love it! - said here's something to hold your purse and brought out a hook to hang my purse!

Nothing beats a nice dinner with an ocean view. Food was fantastic. Can't go wrong with Hokkaido scallops, wagyu, salmon belly, uni, and truffle. Our server was great with his recommendations.

Dessert
Ryan P.

Great place, great location, very nice servers, and amazing food. We sat outside and had a chefs choice twelve piece dish and the bulgogi which I wasn't expecting them to have on the menu but it was so fantastic. Our servers were YuYu and Federico and they really made our night and visit there so special. They were great. Save room for dessert and try the ice cream / krispy rice "sushi" roll that you can dip in chocolate. Prepare yourself for how good it will taste and expect you're going to still be blown away by it.

Chilean seabass

Excellent food, great ambiance, and meh service. We came in here for dinner on a Saturday evening and sat at the bar. My dad asked for a wine recommendation and the bartender was extremely annoyed. We ended up just ordering anything off the menu as not to bother our bartender. All of the food was incredible! Spicy edamame- excellent flavor, just the right amount of spice, with a large portion. Negi Hama - fine, fresh, plain. Amberjack Nigiri- firm and fresh! Aburi Sake- torched Salmon belly, truffle- delightful, melted in your mouth. Chilean Seabass- this was the highlight. Buttery, flakey, perfection. The puree went so nicely with the dish. We also had a strawberry cheesecake for dessert- what a fun dessert with the ice shavings. We'll definitely be back next time we're in South Florida.

We loved that the restaurant is a beach location with an ocean view and coastal breeze. Great reservation and walk in availability, short check-in at the host stand, and quick and attentive service at the table. Our server made great appetizer and entree recommendations - the food was fresh and delicate. We will be back to reserve an omakase experience! Be sure to get your parking ticket validated before you leave for a discounted rate!

Crispy Brussels sprouts
Phylicia H.

Came here for dinner with friends, and we truly enjoyed everything we ordered! The cocktails were delicious, beautifully presented, and definitely photo-worthy. The manager was such a sweetheart, but our waiter was questionable. We couldn't tell if he was sober. For a group of three, we ordered the crispy Brussels sprouts, Wagyu gyoza, kimchi fried rice, and the Wagyu skirt steak. The winners were the kimchi fried rice and skirt steak--both were juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The only dish we probably wouldn't order again was the Wagyu gyoza. It was very meaty but lacked the flavor we were expecting. The restaurant itself is adorable, with both indoor and outdoor seating options and a great atmosphere for a night out with friends. Overall, a wonderful experience, and I'd definitely come back again!

My friends brought me here to celebrate my birthday, and we had an amazing time! The service was impeccable, from the team bringing us a free sweet treat in honor of the birthday celebration. The food was delicious and shareable so we each had the opportunity to have a little bit of everything. The ambience was stunning, as we had the view of Las Olas beach and enjoyed the sun setting as we ate dinner. Street parking can be a bit difficult, however they do offer valet for $15. This is a bit more upscale, so i do recommend dressing for the occasion.

Amanda M.

Excellent experience and quality food! I enjoyed my birthday celebration here and I felt incredibly special despite it being on a busy Mother's Day weekend. They handed out roses, gave me a sparkling dessert and the food was fantastic. This is so far my 10/10 spot. I had the braised short rib with veggie fried rice and it was DELICIOUS! I was afraid the short rib would be chewy because it already came sliced but WOW was I surprised. It just melted off my fork. I definitely will be back again

Bulgogee
Joseph S.

The spicy tuna roll and oysters were amazing. We followed that with the crab fried rice, intending to save some for our entrée, but it was so good we ended up eating almost all of it before the main courses arrived -- like potato chips, impossible to stop. The bulgogi was fantastic -- a little messy to eat, but absolutely worth it. The lettuce leaves provided were on the small side, making it difficult to load them with both rice and meat, but the flavor more than made up for it. My wife ordered the fish and enjoyed it very much. Keep room for the ice cream rolls, an extra special treat to finish the dinner. Our server was friendly, attentive, and provided good service throughout the meal. If you choose to dine outside, the beach view is beautiful, but be prepared for some wind -- at one point it literally blew my lettuce leaves off the table. One note on parking: valet is $60 if you want your car kept up front, which is the highest valet charge we've experienced. Restaurant validation reduces parking to $17, which is a much better option. Overall, a very enjoyable dining experience with excellent food, beautiful scenery, and service that would bring us back again.

Chaffles- croissants pressed into a waffle
Jennifer S.

Takato is directly next to the Conrad in Ft. Lauderdale and provides a scrumptious brunch menu. It is not the hotel restaurant per se but you can use your room number to charge your meals. The service is friendly and patient! Our waiter checked in on how we were liking our meal and even turned a hot latte into iced without any problem. The outdoor patio is beautiful as it overlooks the beach right across the street. We went for breakfast which has a small but amazing menu. As a vegan myself I had to order off the "sides" portion of the menu and I ordered an English muffin and a sliced avocado - very affordable ($5 total). I also ordered the fruit platter ($10) which came with an array of yummy fruits including pear, melons, pineapple, oranges, grapes and strawberries. There was more than enough for our table of three! My daughter had the pancakes which came with a warmed jam, syrup, and whipped cream. She said they were very fluffy. My husband had the chaffles which are croissants pressed in a waffle maker. They came with the same sides as the pancakes. And again he said they were so light and fluffy. We rounded off our meal with iced lattes - mine made with oat milk - and they were outstanding. I usually do not like iced drinks but the weather called for it and I was not disappointed! Overall Takato's breakfast is A+ and the view takes it over the edge of greatness! I hope you get a chance to enjoy it as much as we did! We returned to Takato for dinner and what an amazing meal we had. My one warning is to ask about portion size as many dishes are worthy of sharing size. We ordered an array of food. My son loved the kimchi short rib tacos (2 to an order). My daughter had the duck bao and California roll - both received two thumbs up! My husband had the wagyu sliders which he thought were an appetizer but ended up being a good sized meal served with french fries. He said the burger roll was a bit dry and could have used a sauce. The fries received rave reviews. We also had the mushroom gyoza (5 to an order) and these were delicious. I had the Takato salad without cheese and it did not disappoint. It came in a big bowl with crispy tofu. And I also enjoyed the vegetable sushi which provided a light fragrant taste with a crunchy texture. Takato hits the mark on all fronts and will definitely be a place to which we return whenever we come to Ft. Lauderdale!

What time is happy hour?

According to their Instagram page, "Come and join us for Happy Hour! Monday- Thursday 4PM-6PM!"

Does this restaurant take Covid guidelines seriously by spacing out the tables & not seating people close together?

They certainly do! I was very impressed. Everyone wore masks, they even had available if you forgot yours. Tables were far apart. Lovely experience. Wonderful food!!!

It is located inside the hotel so as you walk in, you'll see a glowing blue neon sign that leads you to the hostess stand then through a corridor to the dining room, passing a beautiful jellyfish tank! Our server, Kevin, was fantastic. He was incredibly patient with our party of 8 and took the time to explain the different sake options, menu items, and desserts, making recommendations throughout the evening. I highly recommend starting with the Pan Seared Scallops. They were packed with flavor and served with pickled vegetables, crunchy nuts, and a sweet onion layed over a creamy white sauce that tied the entire dish together perfectly. The Lobster Bisque wasn't my favorite, as it leaned more toward a tomato-based flavor than I expected, but it did include generous chunks of lobster. For my entrée, I had the Chilean Sea Bass paired with the Shrimp Mac & Cheese and Green Beans, and everything was a 10/10. The sea bass was perfectly cooked and melted in your mouth, while the sides were large enough to share, making them perfect for bigger groups.

Its happy hour was the most inviting from all the restaurants within walking distance from where i was staying, so I stopped in alone early evening on a Friday night. It was a great experience. It's a really large indoor dining area, so even though it was fairly busy inside, was able to be seated immediately. They do have outdoor dining as well, but not sure how usable it is during this time when the mosquitos are so bad. All the folks I interacted with were elegantly friendly, with my server being attentive (keeping my tap water constantly full), even though I was only a party of one and chose not to drink. I was here only to sample (since I still needed to bring back food for the rest of my party), so chose two things off of the small Happy Hour menu: 6 HH Oysters (3 Eastern and 3 Pacific for $18) and Karaage Chicken ($14). The food came out fast, and both were excellent (though I wish the chicken had some more interesting sauces than just the bbq sauce and mayo). I was in/out in less than 20 minutes. One interesting thing was that the on-site manager interacted with me twice: once to make sure I was being helped while waiting to be taken to my table, and once I was leaving to make sure everything turned out well. For me, these sort of interactions really does make the difference between a good restaurant experience and a great one. The payment processor is Toast and the transaction happened tableside.

These water front areas have been quick to turnover on Las Olas, but hopefully Ukiah can stay! They are doing an all day HH on Mondays but the happy hour menu had very limited bites. There were only four items for the happy hour food, which as a pescatarian meant I could only get the edamame and shishito peppers (both small portions but delicious). The salmon crispy rice was absolutely to die for- I would recommend it 100 times over! For my meal I had the red snapper skewers which were great, but the portion was a bit small for the price (especially considering it does not come with any sides). Our server was a bit strange. Wish the portions were larger but would absolutely return!

I ordered the rainbow wrap substitute asparagus for avocado. I wish I was told by the server that it was an upcharge of 3$, I would have kept the asparagus as well. I also ordered the triole sexy, both rolls were so good. Some of the best sushi I have had in a while. I was extremely happy with the quality and the sushi rolls I chose.

He barely spoke to us at all, barely said hi and seemed kind of annoyed to be there/ serve us. The food overtook me, so that is why I'm giving it 5 stars, but the service could have been friendlier, but he was still good.

We immediately ordered a second one. The ONLY reason we didn't order a third was because they ran out! Then came the gyozas. Premium pork, homemade dough, homemade sauce, and easily some of the best gyozas we've ever had. And yes... we ordered a second round of those too! I had the Bakka Roll, which did not disappoint, and my husband had the salmon teriyaki. It came with two generous pieces, which I naturally interpreted as "one for you, one for me." Apparently he did NOT agree. I also loved seeing several families with children enjoying dinner. We'd absolutely feel comfortable bringing our kids next time. Unfortunately, Ichimora is pretty far from home for us, but it is 100% worth the drive. We'll definitely be back, and next time we're bringing the rest of the family. Juan, thank you for making our anniversary dinner so memorable! If you're visiting, ask for Juan and trust his recommendations. He knows what he's doing!
