The Taste of Japan in Lane Cove

We are now featured in:

"2009 Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide"
"2010 Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide"

Lane Cove is a beautiful leafy village in the lower North Shore just 10 kilometers from downtown Sydney, yet surrounded by trees, rivers, and the National Park. TAIKI was opened in the autumn of the Sydney Olympic year 2000, in a lively street of this lovely suburb. TAIKI means "Big Tree" in Japanese.

It came from the thought of people gathering under one big tree with family and friends to enjoy our authentic Japanese food. Yoshiki, the owner and chef, began his journey of traditional and modern Japanese food at the famous SERYNA in Shinjuku, Tokyo.

From the year of 1980, Yoshiki has wide-ranging experience of all different styled Japanese cuisines from Nabe (Hot Pots), Tempura, Teppanyaki to Sushi and Sashimi. He combined his knowledge of assorted kinds of food, his unique skills and good taste buds to create his own recipes and menus of the dishes that he would like everyone to try and enjoy.

Since our opening, many Japanese clients and local Japanese food fans supported us to grow this bountiful tree, where they enjoy themselves by exchanging conversation with chef across the sushi counter, as well as indulge themselves in the perfect match of the finest seafood, meats, sakes and wines.

We are looking forward to welcoming you here in TAIKI. Accepted payment methods: Cash, Visa, MasterCard, JCB Card & Amex (No EFTPOS) Minimum Charge $20 for credit cards
