Taiki, Indiranagar: A Converted Garage Serving Some of the City's Best Sushi

“This place was a small garage converted into a restaurant featuring modernist Japanese architecture. Though the place is small, the interior work is done to give a blend of modernistic and minimalistic experience.”

• A diner on the room, which is the first thing everybody mentions

Taiki is an Asian fusion restaurant at 656, 100 Feet Road, Stage 1, Indiranagar, opposite Narayana Nethralaya, serving street style Japanese, Korean and Thai food including ramen, sushi, katsu, bao and gyoza, rated around 4.1 to 4.2 from over 3,000 reviews, at roughly 1,800 rupees for two.

The room is a converted garage, and that fact explains both the charm and the complaints. Diners praise how well the small space has been designed, with lighting, wall paintings and tables arranged for a minimalist effect, and then several of them note that it is genuinely congested.

The food justifies the squeeze. Most ingredients are sourced from outside India to keep dishes as authentic as possible, and the restaurant specialises in its ramen and buddha bowls, which is where the strongest praise lands.

There is also a real vegetarian menu here, which is rarer in a Japanese restaurant than it should be. Here is the full guide.

What Is Taiki in Indiranagar?

Taiki is an Asian fusion restaurant on 100 Feet Road with modern decor, serving street style Japanese, Korean and Thai food, with ramen, katsu, sushi, bao and gyoza as the core of the menu.

What sets it apart from the pan Asian restaurants on either side of it is sourcing. Most ingredients are brought in from outside India specifically to keep the dishes as close to authentic as possible, and that shows up most clearly in the sushi and the ramen broth.

It is a small operation with a large ambition. Reviewers describe it as one of the most unique spots in Indiranagar, famous for its Asian cooking and for the interesting space itself, and the restaurant also runs outlets in JP Nagar and HSR Layout.

What Should I Order at Taiki?

Order a ramen bowl. Taiki is specifically known for its ramen and buddha bowls, with one diner calling the chicken ramen bowl mandatory and another naming the seafood ramen as the dish that steals the show.

• Ramen bowl. The house speciality. Chicken, seafood or Korean chicken. Perfectly cooked soupy noodles with egg, and the reason to come.
• Nigiri duo and spicy tuna futomaki. Named as the best sushi to order here. If you want to test the kitchen, start with the nigiri.
• Rainbow roll and mango avocado sushi. Called perfectly done and among the best sushi in town by more than one diner.
• Golden Panko Shiitake Roll. Mushroom coated in sesame, described as sushi made to perfection. The best vegetarian sushi on the menu.
• Prawn tempura. Light, crisp batter, a must try for prawn eaters, and better still with the sweet chilli sauce.
• Gyoza platter. Including the mushroom version, which vegetarian diners rate at full marks. Order a platter rather than one type.
• Thai soft shell crab. Juicy crab with vegetables and dressing, and the strongest of the Thai dishes on the menu.
• Lion's Head Dumpling. Described by a diner as a dumpling variety unlike any they had eaten. Order it for curiosity, keep it for the taste.
• Tebasaki with honey and sesame. Japanese chicken wings. The most straightforwardly enjoyable thing on the starter list.
• Bingsu or crispy chocolate noodles with ice cream. The dessert order. Bingsu is Korean shaved ice and it is genuinely hard to find nearby.

“My favourite there is the ramen seafood. It just steals the show. Perfectly cooked soupy noodles with lots of seafood and egg. No words for it.”

Is Taiki Good for Vegetarians?

Yes, unusually so for a Japanese restaurant. Diners describe it as a veg friendly Japanese and Korean restaurant that serves those cuisines without disappointing vegetarians, with one reviewer noting they picked several vegetarian starters for the first time and found them equally good.

• Asparagus tofu roll. Rated at full marks by a vegetarian diner working through the menu systematically.
• Mushroom gyoza. Also full marks in the same review. Between this and the tofu roll you have a full meal.
• Yaki asparagus. A simple Japanese dish, served well here, and a reminder that restraint is a skill.
• Golden Panko Shiitake Roll. The best vegetarian sushi on the menu, and better than most non vegetarian rolls elsewhere on this road.
• Miso shiru. The miso soup, rated highly. Order it first, particularly on a wet Bengaluru evening.
• The teas. Mogo Mogo made from melon, mango, banana and guava, plus jasmine classic and a chilli flavoured tea. The non alcoholic list here is better than most bars.

What Are the Problems With Taiki?

The room is small and the service is slow. Diners describe the restaurant as very small, congested and potentially claustrophobic with loud music, and note that any dish takes a while to arrive, advising you to plan accordingly.

Price is the second complaint. Some reviewers found it overpriced for the quality and quantity served, with one describing a meal for two heavy eaters costing between 2,500 and 3,500 rupees, above the roughly 1,800 rupee listing estimate.

Service quality also appears in the negative column, with several reviews citing long wait times and unprofessional behaviour, and a strand of diners feeling the food was not authentic or flavourful enough compared with other Korean or Japanese restaurants. That sits against a great deal of praise for friendly staff and good service, so it reads as inconsistency rather than a fixed problem.

• Book ahead. The restaurant takes reservations by phone. In a room this small that is the difference between dinner and a wait on the pavement.
• Go at lunch on a weekday. Diners describe weekday lunch as the comfortable window for a quick, selective meal.
• Do not drive. Parking is repeatedly called a challenge, and the metro station is about 170 metres away.
• Order in one go. Food takes time. Put the whole order in at once rather than ordering in waves.
• Order the specialities. Ramen and sushi carry the praise. The authenticity complaints cluster on the wider fusion menu.

Is Taiki the Best Japanese Restaurant in Indiranagar?

On sushi and ramen, it has a strong claim. One diner titled their review the best Japanese food in Bangalore, others call the rolls one of the best sushis in town, and a top 502 city rank on Tripadvisor from a small but consistent review base supports it.

What it is not is a comfortable restaurant. If you want space, quiet and a leisurely pace, this neighbourhood has better options and I have written about them. Taiki is a tight room with a serious kitchen, and you take those two things together.

My position: book a weekday table, order a ramen bowl, the nigiri duo and the prawn tempura, drink the Mogo Mogo tea, and accept that the food will take its time. That meal is one of the better hours you can spend on 100 Feet Road.

Book the table, order the ramen, take the metro. Same city, new flavours, always.
