Takoi got its start in 2014 as a simple food truck named KATOI. KATOI became a restaurant in March 2016 but was, unfortunately, the victim of arson in February 2017. That August, the rebuild brought KATOI back into the world as Takoi, and it’s been serving delicious pan-Asian cuisine ever since. From lamb skewers to BBQ ribs and noodle dishes, Takoi is a great place for anyone to eat, and it offers outdoor covered seating where you’re free to eat with your dog.
