About TAKE Authentic Japanese Cuisine

TAKE delivers Bali’s benchmark Japanese table—from pristine cuts of sashimi to live seafood pulled straight from the tanks. Run by a veteran Japanese founder who still works the floor, the two-story Legian institution channels the rhythm of an authentic izakaya. Regulars pass up standard rolls for the rich garlic-spiked Niniku Tonkotsu ramen, small plates of tender iidako, and grilled oysters sizzling in rich butter sauce. Diners can settle into sunken tatami seating upstairs or take a counter seat right in front of the teppanyaki grill to watch the sear up close.

  • Live seafood and grilled butter oysters: Live seafood tanks yield local catches, tender baby octopus (iidako), and oysters sizzling in rich butter sauce.
  • Teppanyaki and tatami settings: Two floors offer choices between interactive teppanyaki counter cooking and sunken tatami mat seating for small groups.
  • Founder-led Japanese kitchen: A veteran Japanese founder actively oversees daily operations and mingles with guests across both dining floors.

  • Atmospheric tatami mats and chef counters

    Multi-level dining provides classic counter seating, traditional floor arrangements, and spaces suited for both quiet meals and lively cooking shows.

    The atmosphere was very pleasant, with space to eat on tatami mats or watch the show cooking.

  • Welcoming presence of the Japanese founder

    Native Japanese chef-founder Okamoto-san personally greets guests and maintains a warm, hospitable floor presence across decades in Bali.

    caught the owner, Okamoto-san just casually chilling with his ice cream like it’s his day off 😄 We ended up asking for a photo together, had a fun little chat in Japanese, and yeah… instant good vibes.
