Taka Japanese Cuisine - Fremantle

Some of the best tempura in Perth - this place is an institution. Always busy but always quick - I've never been disappointed eating here. Great value.

This place is good if your looking for cheap Japanese food. Owned and run by Japanese people, although their menu is tweaked to cater for the western tastebuds, it is still quite authentic Japanese cuisine. Their sushis are made fresh to order, their rice are cooked in proper Japanese manner, their teriyaki chicken is delicious! It is a food hall and their turn around is so quick that the trays are normally not 100% dry from being washed.

For cheap fairly tasty Japanese Taka is consistently decent. I've only ever stuck to the staples it was good considering how cheap it was. Teriyaki and sushis are fresh tasting enough.

I REALLY enjoy eating Taka at city (both Shafto Lane and CBD) so I was excited to find Taka inside Old Shanghai foodcourt as the price is the same as the one in city : which is cheap. But soon I was dissapointed by the size of the meal. The same $8 chicken karaage has so little rice (much lesser in comparison) and the chicken was also smaller and slightly fewer in portion - don't you think we won't compare? To make it worse, they don't have the mayonnaise salad dressing on the counter (like the one they have in city store and I can just add as much as I want). Nonetheless it is still decent for an $8 meal.
