Taguchi-Ya Restaurant in Totnes

Reviews

   We drove here because of the review but man I wouldn’t recommend it at all, even if you’re desperate for japanese food. The karaage was crunchy and soft but bland, need to dip in soup sauce. The katsudon is sooooooo chewy it will hurt your jaw, rice is soggy and drowned in soy sauce. I guess as this is the only asian restaurant open in this town why they have high stars.

   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 :)

   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.

   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!

   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.
