I love birthdays..especially when they are at Takaoka


So, my niece turned 11 last week and the family celebrated at Takaoka. The great Japanese style steakhouse here in Fort Wayne. Every time you sit in front of a fire hot table and watch an Asian or Hispanic (lunch chef at Benihana last time we went) slice and dice his way through dinner, it's gonna be a good time. Our chef was really good last night and pretty funny, he even make a rap song joke by singing Fat Joe's "Lean Back" when he lit the onion on fire and chuckling. I nearly lost it because I was the only one that got the reference.

Last night was also Birthday Night. In the hour and half we were there, there were probably 10 birthdays celebrated by a grainy recording of Happy Birthday in Japanese and sprinkler lit rainbow sherbert.

So, if you find yourself in need of a fun evening with your date of choice, consider a little Japanese at Takaoka.
