Review


Taka was my first restaurant experience eating gluten free. Although this review is being given in May, I went to the restaurant in March. I asked the server about the tempora rolls and if they were made with rice or wheat flour. The waiter said rice flour so I ordered a shrimp tempura roll. It was so good, we ordered another one. When we walked out, I said to my boyfriend, "I know I had gluten." I felt bloated and stuffed and hadn't felt like that after eating gluten-free for 3 weeks. The next day I called the restaurant and spoke to a manager. She informed me that yes, they do indeed use wheat flour on their tempura. She apologized and assured me that the wait staff are trained on modifications for the rolls. She sent me a $25 gift certificate to come back to Taka again. I surely will.
