Excellent Korean food, really good service and overall a great experience. This place is clearly family owned and the people who run the restaurant and work in it are very caring and kind!
okay, so when I arrived to the place, I'll admit, I was a bit concerned. The outside did not do the inside of this place any justice. The staff was warm and welcoming and kept checking on my table. The food was outstanding and it was fun cooking. Go for the experience if nothing else.
Best service! Bester atmosphere! Amazing team full of the sweetest workers! Most definitely the place to be for Japanese and Korean food!! 10/10 recommend
If you're looking for a "homey" korean restaurant, this is definitely the place! Everything I had was delicious. I wanted some comfort food, so I got soup (Soon du boo with pork). Came out hot, which I love. The service was excellent as well. They were very welcoming and checked on me frequently to see if i needed anything. The waitress I had was very humorous and very sweet.
Edit: I'd also like to add that I finished all the side dishes. I especially never finish kimchi when I typically go out for Korean, but this place's kimchi was very good. Everything was gone by the end of the night. Really good.
Best authentic Korean food we've found in Phoenix. Kimchee is delicious. Kalbi is tender and flavorful and a bit pricey but worth it. Soon du bu (tofu stew) was the best way to end the dinner. Bulgogi is a generous portion of marinated meat. We added lettuce and it came with fresh garlic, peppers and soy bean paste. This is the real way to eat kalbi. Put the piece of meat on the lettuce and add the garlic, jalapeno and soy bean paste and enjoy. The banchan -Korean side dishes- were plentiful and delicious as well. Restaurant staff were friendly. You can ask for Korean bbq tables where you cook your own meat or sit at a regular table. They also have Japanese entrees, but we were craving authentic Korean food.

It sure has been a long time since I last dined here. I couldn't remember what they served and how the food tasted. It was one of those days where I was flowing with whatever and went with my instincts.
My friend was feeling spontaneous with me so we went for it. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious 😋. No disappointment here or even a single complaint.
We were greeted and seated immediately. The menu was extensive, and there were a lot of options. We love Korean food. I'm still learning about the names and the ingredients associated with each dish. So it took us a few minutes to look up each dish to see if it was what we think it was.
I live for the grilling part of Korean food, but my friend wasn't really hungry. They required at least 2 orders of raw meat. I didn't want to pay for two orders because it was a little too expensive.
So I decided on bimbap with grilled meat in a hotstone bowl and japchae to share. Side orders were out of this world for me. It tasted so good that we asked for seconds. No regrets. We will be returning in the near future.
By observation, I felt like this restaurant was authentic and closer to how Korean food is prepared in Korea. It was an experience and friendly service.
Happy eating 😋
The main dishes were packed and hearty. Side dishes were fresh and prepared well. Drinks were crisp and refilled quickly. Seasoning was on point. Service was kind and attentive. Chef was feeling it tonight.
I had an absolutely fantastic dinner at Takamatsu! The flavors were spot-on, and the staff provided incredibly attentive and speedy service. The bibimbap was a standout—fresh ingredients and the ideal balance of spicy and savory. The cozy atmosphere made it the perfect spot for a relaxed and enjoyable dinner.
I'm already looking forward to my next visit to try more dishes! I also tried their spicy octopus and glass noodles (apologies, can't recall the exact name), and both were exceptional.
Takamatsu comes highly recommended for a delightful Korean dining experience!
Just ate here for the first time with my hubby. Wonderfully kind and attentive staff. This is not an all you can eat bbq but it’s not needed. Meat portions are plentiful and reasonably priced. Side dishes were also very good. The grill cooks well. We will be back!
5/2/23: excellent service and food. I had the salmon udon which was perfect. Udon was delicious with the flavorful soup. Our waitresses were so fun and zesty. Almost like family. Great atmosphere.
