Takashi is an incredible new Japanese BBQ restaurant in the West Village on Hudson Street. An exciting selections of beef variation set this as clearly divergent from traditional Korean BBQ, particularly the attention to superior beef (American Waygu) as well as many sourced from Dickson’s Farmstand Meats in the Chelsea Market and Pat LaFrieda’s in the meatpacking district. Dishes include those marinated in pepper or simple garlic, salt and sesame oils, while complemented also with individual tasting side sauces.

Excellent menu items are the beef sushi tri (above top: right: flash-boiled mino with grated diakon ponzu, middle: seared skirt steak with marinated Korean pepper, left: ribeye topped with yuzu pepper).

Pictured top-right is the Niku-uni (chuck flap topped with sea urchin and fresh wasabi)

Middle left is Yooke (thinly-sliced chuck eye tartare in special sauce)

Middle right is Akasen – fourth beef stomach  

Not pictured, but excellent – a collection of Kalbi (short rib), Harami (outside skirt) and Shibire (sweetbreads). Complementing this dinner was the Tongue Experience (Tan-Saki, Tan-Suji & Tan-Moto)

Hakkaisan sake was also part of the overall experience, finished with home made Madagascar Vanilla Soft Serve Ice Cream (lower left picture).

Reservations only taken for groups of 4, so if a party of 2, recommend to get there before 7pm. Truly unique Japanese culinary experience.
