Reviews for Izakaya Takasei in Fullerton, CA
After a long Disneyland day, my friends and I wanted some Japanese food. Izakaya Takasei gave us that fix! The restaurant itself... was clean and offered a tatami style dining experience but our legs were too sore to do that. Would love to come back and do it!The staff were attentive and made sure to greet every customer that came in. For food, I ordered a tonkatsu and scrambled eggrice bowl and a variety of yakitori. My tonkatsu bowl was very flavorful! I was able to taste a little dashi in the egg and thepickled ginger added a lot of contrast to the saltiness of the dish. The katsu was still a little crispy and tender on theinside. I was very impressed with their large selection of yakitori. From the ones I ordered, the kobe beef with ponzu and thegarlic pork belly really stood out! The kobe was so tender and exploded with juice with every bite! The garlic pork belly had somuch garlic flavor and had crispy garlic bits on top for good measure. To cap off a great meal, I tried the orange sorbet. Itwas visually pleasing to look at and tasted so clean and refreshing! I highly recommend giving Izakaya Takasei a chance ifyou're in the area! Read more

Great service, great food. Use yelp waitlist to get in line. My favorite izakaya in the area.
Nice place for family meal for ????????????. Came at 5pm and there was no waiting. The six of us sat in the tatami room. They... left one table empty between tables. Waitress was super friendly and the service was quick. Family had everything from udonnoodles, sashimi, fried oysters, combo meals, etc. Everything was super fresh and spot on. ????? was plentiful. If you come hereduring rush hour, make sure you add yourself to the Yelp waiting list. Happy hour is the first hour when they open too and thenat 8pm? Would come back again. Good place for a ????date too. Read more
Great food! Great service. Very close to eating in Japan. Best thing is they serve Orion beer from Okinawa on tap ICE COLD!
Food menu is varied and seems authentic. The atmosphere is wonderful and definitely seems authentic. The staff is friendly and... charming (based on a sample of 1 waitress). Food itself was good too, though I picked something basic so I guess I don'tactually know if everything is good. Free hot roasted green tea though is amazing, never seen that before. And sitting on matswith short tables like in real Japan is neat too, though we sat at the regular booths. TL;DR give it a try, you stranger you. Read more
First Time I ever had Yakitori - Delish - Each meat was cooked to perfection and super tasty and juicy - Udon shown was in a... small bowl - The original bowl was much larger - I was sharing - We had a glass of Shichida Tunmai Sake - not too sweet and nottoo dry and a hint of a fruit flavor - Staff was amazing- Ended the full experience with some green tea ice cream - total billwas around $115 for all you see - We had so much fun!
