taka's kitchen - Fremantle

Try to order a teriyaki chicken udon soup !!! I get told they don’t have it !!! It’s called teriyaki udon chicken!!!

I was looking for somewhere to eat on a budget and as this place was really busy I thought the food must be good. I ordered a small Chicken Karaage which is marinated bite sized chicken pieces, deep fried and served with salad and rice. $6.50) After paying I was given a buzzer and found a table outside in Shafto Lane. A very) short while later my buzzer sounded and I picked up my food. It was very tasty and was just what I needed. The larger size meal is $8.50 but also includes soup. It does get very busy at lunch times so if there is more than 1 of you find a table before ordering, table sharing is also encouraged. This is not fine dining but cheap and very tasty food.

I usually go to Takas Kitchen in the city (both barrack st and shafts lane are great). I was in freo and wanted some teriyaki tofu so went to taka, it was nothing like the tofu in the city, I was thoroughly disappointed and will not be going back to the Fremantle Taka.

Ordered hosomaki platters for a party. Have had these from Taka's before on several occasions but the quality was completely different this time. The rolls weren't put together properly and many were falling apart when I picked up the platters. I would say over half were too loosely rolled; instead of the tight hosomaki rolls you'd normally expect, they were split and spilling their contents onto the platter. Others were oddly shaped, like the person who made them had piled extra stuffing onto the top after rolling. It's a shame standards seem to have slipped (dived? . There are too many places doing nori/hosomaki these days to get away with serving up poor quality like this. I'll be looking elsewhere in future.

Taka's kitchen is always worth a visit, quick service, flavoursome food, usually busy. If you have a large group, don't expect to turn up and have a table immediately available....plan ahead!
