TAKA TAKA brings a new light to Japanese casual dining: sporting a conveyor belt sushi with a 56-seating capacity and 25 choices to choose from, while also offering a menu a la carte with an exciting mix of classical Japanese recipes with a Mexican twist. This hip well designed restaurant on the corner of Grand and West Broadway will come to make company to long established spots. Taka Taka will add the Mexican edge to Japanese fresh. The chile to the sushi, the tortilla to the teppanyaki, the chipotle to the teriyaki. Don’t miss the Tempura Shrimp Tacos, try at least one of the ten Sushi Caliente options, and never leave without at least one litchi margarita. Mezcal meets sake and sahimi meets raspado, Mexican kitsch meets Japanese sleek, design is also a reason to come, eat, drink and party at Taka Taka.

Opening on Mexican Independence Day, September 15th.




Designed in a witty Japanese style, our restaurants bear their proud juxtaposed identity by way of reinterpreted origami-inspired elements and Mexican materials and contemporary motifs.





PRODUCT DESIGN We believe in the full integration of diverse disciplines that come together to create a well-rounded experience for our guests. With this interest in mind, we set out to design a complete set of products that is used in our restaurants every day; from our color-coded dishes and menus to an architectural line of ornamental ceramics, every single detail matters


TEXTURE & FURNITURE | With every new restaurant we open our brand becomes stronger; food, architecture

and branding are equally important to us. The architecture of our spaces and the design of furniture pieces, while specific to different contexts, share similar elements that link our restaurants to one another and leave a consistent impression on our costumers. The walls at Taka Taka are inspired on a Mexican design from the 70’s. At this time architects in Mexico were based on the modernist movement in 50’s europe, but also had very clear influences from their own traditions and culture. Combining that and the traditional japanese practice of origami, the wall panels materialized in raw wood material, to give the restaurant an elegant, refined, yet vintage ambiance. These mexican and japanese elements combined with traditional new york tiled ceiling, raw wood custom-made furniture and striking japanese globe lights give the restaurant a coherent, international New York feel.
