    Ordered katsu kare (my favourite) last night and an extra yakisoba for next day lunch. Super easy to reheat in a pan (don’t need to add anything) and good as new!

    Takedon is the definition of a hidden gem. Tucked in a commercial building by the Arboretum, their food is not only hearty and delicious but in dire short supply in Ottawa. We have many sushi restaurants in town, but what Takedon brings is the food you’ll find in the cafeterias, back alleys and homes of Japan. If you haven’t checked them out yet, please do!

    I ordered this on ubereats and was not disappointed. Food is very fresh. They even packaged the fried food separately from the curry so it does not get sogggy. I lived in East Asia for a long time and this is pretty spot on. It's a shame I discovered this as soon as I was moving back to Korea.

    Hidden gem in Ottawa! Happy that I found this place. Food are freshly cooked and delicious. Gyudon beef bowl brings me back to Japan. The ginger pork tastes like my Japanese grandma cooked. Parking is a bit tricky. I parked along the building on green valley. Too bad this place doesn’t have dine in.

    The best new authentic Japanese takeout in Ottawa! I’m from Barrhaven and it was a 15 minute distance for an authentic food. Loved the Tonkatsu pork and it makes me willing for more! I highly recommend you try this new Japanese takeout and you will come again!

    Heard about this place from BBC and finally got a try. The gyudon beef is so tender and tasted just like Yoshinoya’s in the Japan. The teriyaki chicken is so flavorful too. The place is in an office building and unfortunately has no dine in.

    We ordered a bunch of things, maybe because the review, I had higher expectations. The food is mediocre, just like most Japanese places in Ottawa. The beef was quite fatty. Service is fast and well packaged for takeouts. Good to support local business, but I wouldn’t call it exceptional.

    The owner of this restaurant is very nice, and the service is attentive. It has an open kitchen where you can watch the chefs cooking right in front of you, and the hygiene standards are excellent. I’ve eaten here many times, and the flavors are authentic—just the way I like my Japanese food. The menu is diverse, with a great selection of snacks and drinks as well.
