About the restaurant

A fusion of Japanese, Thai, and Caribbean dishes lends a unique twist to many signature plates.

With a world-class chef cooking prime cuisine, Taikin boasts the sous-vide method, a cooking process that retains juices, aromas, and texture for an unparalleled dining experience.
The restaurant is well-located and easy to find. In fact, if you are an area professional needing a new lunch hour spot (or a spot to wine, dine and impress clients over lunch), look no further. Taikin has the elegance and simplicity you need to make a good impression. After all, the name “Taikin” represents fortune and wealth.
