    If you're looking for a Filipino dining experience in Sydney that will make you feel at home, look no further than Takam! From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with warm smiles and exceptional service that instantly sets the tone for an unforgettable meal. The food is nothing short of spectacular. Their Lumpia de Shanghai is a delightful starter-fresh, vibrant, and packed with flavours. The King Prawn Palabok is a masterpiece, with perfectly grilled prawns resting on a bed of rich, flavourful noodles topped with vibrant garnishes that elevate the dish to new heights. And for dessert, the Leche Flan is simply divine, with a silky texture and just the right amount of sweetness to end your meal on a perfect note. The ambiance is cozy yet stylish, creating the perfect setting for enjoying a feast that truly celebrates Filipino cuisine. Whether you're Filipino or new to the cuisine, you'll feel an immense sense of pride in every bite. Takam has truly brought the flavours of the Philippines to Sydney with heart and soul. Highly recommended— don't miss out on these dishes!

    Tried your brand in Japan , Korea and Sydney. Appreciated the menu is flexible to change option without extra cost, this is unavailable in Japan and Korea. The pancake still incredibly delicious. Your Japanese female staff conducted great customer service during the meal. Great experience with your brand.
