    Held my wife’s 40th birthday party in a private room for karaoke and it was a blast! The drinks were great and food was tasty! Staff was helpful and responsive. Great experience!

    Food was very good and we had a lot of fun. Our only issue is they trick you with the gratuity. They automatically add it to your bill but then ask for 20%-40% more!! They don’t make it obvious so we didn’t even notice until we got the receipt and had to ask for a credit card refund.

    We booked the karaoke room, and they don't list the price. Had reached out beforehand and they assign you a karaoke room, you don't get to choose. Different rooms, different prices. We didn't find out till we showed up. Limited songs on karaoke machine.

    Amazing!!! They had a great selection of food and it came out quick and fresh! The servers were friendly and quick to help with any questions; my group absolutely loved singing and enjoyed the private room. Would 1000/10 recommend for friend groups or people wanting to branch out on entertainment! Loved it!

    Tak Bistro is a fantastic spot for authentic Korean food and a great night out. The menu is packed with flavorful dishes, and everything we tried—from the army stew to the galbijjim—was outstanding. The drinks selection, especially the premium soju options, pairs perfectly with the food. My favorite was the lotus rice wine and plum one-mae. The service was warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home. And if you're looking for some extra fun, the karaoke rooms are a huge plus! Whether you're here for dinner, drinks, or singing the night away, Tak delivers an unforgettable experience.

    I say the food is the most authentic, flavorful, and perfectly captures the essence of Korean cuisine. The bossam and ttukbokki were some of the best I’ve had, and the selection of soju and Korean beers is top-notch. The atmosphere is lively yet cozy, making it a great spot for both casual dinners and group gatherings. The service was friendly and attentive, ensuring an amazing experience from start to finish. Big shout out to Fay!

    Our whole experience from start to finish was amazing-but the highlight was the service. Alex was an AMAZING waiter! He gave stellar recommendations on drink and food and was so personable. Probably the best restaurant service experience I have had in years. Alex should get a raise!

    Honestly, the karaoke and vibe created in the private room itself outdid the food, but the customer service remained priority.
