Took my Daughter here for dinner on the weekend
Wow what can I say everything was awesome!!!
We ordered a few dishes and they were all delicious
Super happy with the experience we had here from the staff and food
We will definitely be back next time we are visiting Tauranga
Thanks š
Must be the best Japanese restraunt!
Went there for lunch and back to dinner again!
Almost everywhere closed during rainy Xmas. They comfort our heartšš
Our dinner had some delay, they gave us free tea and fried chicken wings for apology. Very nice hospitality!
The food tastes very well, not mention the beautiful display.
People celebrated birthday there, very great atmosphere~
Amazing food and wonderful service. Staff were so pleasant and we felt welcome the moment came in their restaurant. Will definitely come back! š
Came to Takara with my wife and three kids. The kids meals were simple but good value for money, and better than the usual nuggets and chips. Kids had chicken katsu on rice. I had the eel bento set and tokoyaki. Both were delicious and I'd gladly have it again. The service was good, although the waitress initially seemed a little inexperienced. Probably her first day, but still polite and tried to be helpful.
Came here for a family dinner with the kids. The entrees of takoyaki, sashimi and gyoza were all nice and I'd recommend any of them. For a main I had the tempura prawns and they were excellent. 8 large prawns so a generous serving size. The kids both had chicken katsu, which was huge for kids portions, very impressed. Which is why we were a little surprised that my wife's dish was disappointingly small. I can't remember the specific name of the dish but it was self-cook style over a little hot plate. It was $32 or $38 I think and much smaller portion size than mine.
Overall, it was a nice atmosphere and friendly staff. The quality of the food was solid but short of special.
Great place for families. It's across the wharf and the playground and a block away from the shops. The chicken karaage was yum. Also if you're wanting something new, try their plum tea!
Great location on Tauranga's waterfront. Only shame is that the view is currently blocked by shipping containers.
Seating is inside & outside but still sheltered from the road.
Menu has big & small dishes - ordered the surf & turf which was delicious. Steak was perfectly cooked, and prawns weren't over cooked despite being on a sizzling platter. Veges were mushrooms, onions & kumara? Not broccoli like the picture. Still well cooked & very tasty.
Drinks menu is good & they have a happy hour offer on drinks for early diners.
Service was good - friendly & efficient. Only thing was that it got a bit annoying being asked for the 3rd time (before my meal arrived) if I needed a knife & fork. I'm very confident with chopsticks so asking once (or not at all) is enough thanks! Will remain PC, so will only say not to judge a book by its cover.
Despite this annoyance will visit again as the food is worth it.
Nice place in Tauranga. They offer customer great service and fresh food.
I came here wiz my boyfriend on Thursday afternoon after viewing Zomato app. We ordered sashimi set, Takara lunch bento and dumplings~ we recommend you to try sashimi set as they taste delightful and fresh. Other dishes are normal. However, they offer u great customer service, it should be a great place for chilled out wiz friends
We arrived at night in Tauranga during the holidays and we were looking for a place to have a dinner. We were quite hungry this time and we definitely didn't want to waste our time.
We had a look on Zomato the best places on the surround and we end up on this JapaneseĀ restaurant located on the CDB. We were welcome with the famous Japanese welcome and after few minutes, we were placing our orders.
We had tofu with salad and rice, teriyaki chicken, takoyaki, tiger prawns, squid and plum wine. To finish we had a home-made waffle with vanilla ice cream and donnuts. yeah...we were quite hungry this time...
The meal was really delicious, tasteful and flavoured. The servicesĀ didn't disappoint and the dessert was to die for.
We string recommend this place if you are into Japanese food and is passing around or live in Tauranga
Delicious tenpan yaki chicken, well worth every penny. Couldn't even eat it all it was so big! Got rice, chicken, sushi, cabbage and sliced orange. Was a great lunch!
Takara is one of the places that me and my wife appreciate greatly. we live 150km away from this restaurant but we would visit this place without any hesitation. we were surprised that they changed their menu recently as compared to their old menu that we were fond and always loved the most. truth be told, their menu got above our expwctations greatly. everything has more love in it and we can taste the effort the that they put in on each dish. when you are in Tauranga looking for an awesome professional, and high class experience, drop by their place and you will not be disappointed. love the new vibe and menu! keep it up guys!
Food was tasty but was not exceptional. Had the chicken katsu. Wish the katsu sauce wouldāve been on the chicken instead of on the side. It was a little
bit pricey as well. Overall it was a good experience, but I probably wouldnāt go out of my way to come back again. Everyone at our table seemed to enjoy their food, so I think itās a pretty safe place for Japanese food.
Exquisite &fresh meal , beautifully cooked well presented
and great atmosphere with excellent service, very caring !!

Really nice and fresh food.The owner lady is really friendly.Probably the service a little bit rush.But i enjoy the food.Thank you
Fresh fish fresh air fresh service right price too. Been 5 times in 12 months lov new menu. Enjoyed every time
The food was terrific, the presentation of the gyoza was a real surprise, the staff were kind and thoughtful and made the evening a wonderful experience. If you don't try the pistachio icecream at the end of your meal you will miss something special.
Just had the rib eye steak ā¦ and it was amazing. Perfect mix of quality and volume. Perfect winter comfort food and at $34 really good value. I forgot to take a photo but hereās my empty plate š
Returning customer for many times during last 7 years and I have to say the atmosphere is still warm and welcoming...welldone š
Great place to eat. Nice atmosphere, staff very friendly and food was great.
