Taiko Canteen is the home of Zilford's Fried Chicken, Taiko Taco, & Lucky Putt. We offer a casual family-style dining and drinking experience, alongside 9 holes of mini-golf!

What started as a food truck in 2014 with the goal of serving an innovative menu of tasty, bold flavoured foods in a fun and lively setting, has now grown into TAIKO CANTEEN to offer both Taiko Taco and Zilford's Fried Chicken all day erry'day. We also feature a rotating list of craft beers, fun cocktails and the greatest mini-golf course you can enjoy with a drink in hand.

We offer a variety of seating choices, including lounge seating, bar seats, standard table seating, the clubhouse for private events, and 3 seats close enough to the kitchen line that you might be asked to help.

TAIKO accepts reservations but always welcomes walk-ins, nomads, adventurers, and those of you who don’t like to plan.

    I celebrated my birthday with 14 people. We all ate dinner and enjoyed the evening immensely five stars in my books. Food is excellent.

    Fun idea, and the mini putting was cute but definitely not worth it. The food was overpriced for the portion size and there was only 1 server and 20+ customers. There was also a large group of teenagers there being disruptive and destructive to the mini golf set up. Would not recommend as a date night idea.

    My partner and I had a great time! We will be back for sure. We are excited to try the Lucky Bao! Server was great - I caught her name and forgot instantly.

    Service was extremely slow, food was ok, nothing special overpriced for the portion sizing, had to send back one of our dishes, a new one was brought out and was better. Yes we were a larger party but we sat with empty drinks the entire meal. We were the only table in the restaurant and still took a serve 30 min to come to us.

    Very disappointed, overall food & experience was terrible! I booked a few weeks in advance for a friends birthday & were not told that they were hosting a private EDM function & that we could only stay for 1 hour. Our server was completely incompetent, she consistently came to our table without her iPad & was not able to take our orders without it. The tacos were cold & when informed our server she actually touched my friends food instead of just taking it back to the kitchen. When we asked about the mini putt, we were told half of it had already been removed & that they would “comp us” for the remaining 4 holes left that maybe took us 10 minutes to complete. We were directed upstairs & our server left us to take everything upstairs on our own, when our food arrived, she brought no water or condiments. Our server never came back once to check on us & after 45 minutes of waiting we were fed up & decided to leave. I had wanted to order a birthday dessert or special drink for my friend but honestly could not be bothered. As we were paying (full price for everything, nothing was discounted) the bartender gave us a shot. Overall terrible experience, the staff were incompetent & the food was mediocre at best. Definitely do NOT recommend!

    Wonderful time! Golf was engaging and fun! Great value and the food was quite tasty. Top tier old fashioned cocktail. The birthday girl had a great experience. Having parking was such a benefit.
