Our Story

A must-visit on the corner of Hudson & Marine Parade

Authentic Japanese flavors in a cozy room that blends a trendy feel with a casual, family-friendly welcome.

If you find yourself around the corner of Hudson St. and 1 Marine Parade Blvd in Belize City, a visit to Taka Kitchen is a must for anyone craving authentic Japanese flavors. The room has a vibrant atmosphere that effortlessly blends trendy vibes with a casual, family-friendly environment.

From the kitchen

Chef Takayuki Yanai has been cooking in Belize City since 2015, and the menu is a thoughtfully crafted one that highlights some of the best Japanese dishes in the city. The pork dumplings are a crowd favorite — juicy, flavorful fillings wrapped in perfectly crispy skins. If you prefer something more comforting, the rich and savory soy sauce ramen offers a satisfying warmth with every spoonful. Alongside it, the traditional miso soup makes a delicate but essential addition to any meal. See the full printed menu for appetizers, drinks and desserts →

Fresh tuna and salmon nigiri showcase our commitment to quality seafood and authentic preparation. Whether you’re new to Japanese food or a seasoned fan, there’s a dish that will hit the spot.

The two things I will never forget about my visit to Taka Kitchen are the amazingly fresh and delicious food and the warmth of the Yanai family and staff. I’ve visited many high quality Japanese restaurants in New York City and they paled in comparison to the quality, flavors, and overall atmosphere that I experienced. I enjoyed every bit of my meal and felt a part of the family, enjoying each bite made with care and love.
