What an amazing meal we had here last night. They had a choice of 3 set menus for £15, one with fish, one with meat and one vegan, as well as a standard menu. We had the Vegan option and everything on the tray was included. The flavours were exquisite and the service was friendly, we’ll definitely be back.
Really good value, tasty food, wonderful service! The only reason I scored the food down is that I had a slightly upset tummy after... perhaps some of the tempura was a little more oily for me than I'd like. But overall I loved it. Set meal was unusual and had small little portions that were sustaining and also prevent food waste. The jar of kimchee was homemade and so delicious it was the gift that kept giving. It was different to the kind of Japanese food you get in sushi restaurants, and from what I tasted of the macha green icecream the pudding was utterly divine!
After few days of eating fancy food, this was exactly what we needed. A heartwarming meal. They squeezed us in even though they were busy. Tofu katsu curry and tofu set meal were amazing. Panna cotta was okay, I’m not a big fan, but it was my husband who ordered it and he absolutely loved it. 😅
Eating at Taguchi-ya was a great experience. The two Japanese ladies are very friendly and attentive and made us feel right at home. The food was fresh and tasty, absolutely fabulous. For anyone who likes Japanese food this is a must. Do make a reservation as the place is not huge and they are always busy as they are so good!
Visited here with my wife and… wow! Really authentic Japanese cooking - so hard to find outside of London but a hidden gem here in Devon. Can’t recommend highly enough. We had the set menu (chicken teriyaki and fish), gyoza on the side, the matcha sundae and milk ice cream with sesame and toasted rice. Sakura black tea is also recommended. Fabulous!
Visited here one evening with my girlfriend. A very quaint small restaurant with an atmosphere that took me back to my holiday in Japan. Wonderful food, we had the breaded Hake and glazed Mackerel. Both were absolutely delicious cooked fish with an English twist of potato salad. I highly recommend a meal here for some delicious Japanese food in the beautiful Devon town of Totnes.
Best food in Totnes probably. As someone who has lived in Japan and is constantly sad about the lack of Japanese and East Asian food, in general, in Devon - I feel very lucky to have this here. However my toddler wasn't too keen on half a wet banana ("fruit salad") in the box with his kareage one time lol but in the grand scheme of things, this can be forgiven :)
Such a little gem of Totnes! The food was amazing, especially the Set menu and the matcha ice cream. The staff and atmosphere were lovely, I would reccomend it to anyone who enjoys asain food. Definitely book online because it was quite busy, 100% worth it though. Will hopefully be visiting again soon!
Delicious and authentic food. Pricey, but it's worth it once in a while, great selection of meat-free options and delicious teas.
1st time we've ordered from here - it didn't disappoint & was great value. They currently offer eat in or take-away pizzas on Monday nights only. No blonde pizzas, all of them have a tomato & mozzarella base. Set pizzas & daily specials offered. We had 2 of the latter Gammon & Peppers (with extra artichoke) & my husband had Fig & Blue Cheese with extra Nduja. We'll be going back. Great.
