Located right across from Slow Koi at the Strand Arcade, Taikin brings a fresh twist to Japanese street food, offering an exciting blend of Teppanyaki and Takoyaki in a setting that’s both casual and interactive. Whether you're drawn in by the sizzling sounds of the grill or the golden, crispy takoyaki balls, Taikin promises a dining experience that’s as entertaining as it is delicious.

The atmosphere is laid-back and welcoming, perfect for a quick bite or a relaxed evening with friends. You can enjoy the theatrical flair of Teppanyaki cooked right before their eyes, while sipping on a cold beer and soaking in the energy of the space.
