About this place
Add fried prawns to your hamburg steak, or pair it with a beef cutlet. Taketei’s combination dishes let you choose two Western-style favourites on one plate. The hamburg steak and fried prawns combination is listed at ¥1,900, as is the omurice and fried prawns at ¥1,900. If you’re after a more substantial meal, consider the hamburg steak with beef cutlet. One diner who ordered the hamburg steak and fried prawns said the demi-glace sauce made the rice especially enjoyable, while the prawns were good with tartare sauce. Another lunch guest recalled starting with soup and salad and being surprised by the generous main course. Even the accompanying spaghetti salad came in a hearty portion, making this a dish to note when you’re hungry.
Corn soup is another dish that diners mention repeatedly. One lunch guest said a piping-hot bowl arrived first, making a welcome starter while they waited for the main course. Another described it as rich and creamy without being too heavy, with a noticeable sweetness from the corn. It is available as part of a set or on its own. Omurice fans can choose it with fried prawns or pair it with hamburg steak. A diner who tried the omurice and fried prawns enjoyed the combination of ketchup rice wrapped in egg with demi-glace sauce, as well as the way the tartare sauce on the prawns complemented the dish. Another guest ordered old-fashioned omurice, also wrapped in egg. Choose according to whether you want a plate of classic Western-style combinations or prefer to make omurice the centrepiece.
For a selection that includes fried food, try the special combination of hamburg steak 150g, beef cutlet 40g and a prawn served with its head on. There is also a mixed fried platter with chicken cutlet, white fish fry and fried prawns. A diner who chose the special combination praised the large head-on prawn, tender beef cutlet and hamburg steak, and said the corn soup also left an impression. It’s an option for anyone who would rather sample a little of several meat and fried dishes than settle on just one. Reports mention solo diners at the counter as well as friends enjoying lunch at a table towards the back. Lunch is served from 11:00 to 14:00, and both dine-in and takeaway are available. One takeaway option pairs 2 pieces of fried chicken with salad. Whether you’re settling in for a filling Western-style meal or picking up a few favourites to take away, there is plenty to choose from.
