Sun Taka

Sun Taka: A Polished Japanese Room, Still Finding Its Center of Gravity

Sun Taka feels like a place you have to work a little to reach—physically and conceptually. The space is attractive, but the approach can be oddly circuitous, and the internal logic of the layout struck us as slightly confusing, as if the restaurant were still deciding what kind of evening it wants to host. That same ambiguity shows up on the menu: it reads more “fusion” than you might expect going in, with ideas that nod beyond Japan in a way that sometimes clarifies a dish and sometimes muddies it.

The good news is that the cooking is solid. The product is good—without the kind of jaw-dropping quality that turns a meal into a pilgrimage—but handled with care. Presentation is consistently sharp, the kind of plating that looks considered rather than fussy, and the overall experience lands on the right side of pleasure.

Wine is where the value equation tightens. The list is short, and it feels expensive for what it offers, though there are a few references worth grabbing if you know what to look for. Service is fine—pleasant, competent—but a step below the ticket price.

A good Japanese spot, with plenty of room to level up.
