One of the best Japanese restaurants in Casablanca
TAIKŌ Asian Kitchen has quickly established itself as a benchmark for Japanese and Asian cuisine in Casablanca. Located on Rue Jounaïd, the restaurant has won a loyal following thanks to an ambitious menu and execution that delivers on its promises. With an exceptional rating of 4.9/5 on Google, it’s one of the highest-rated addresses in the city.
The Japanese and Asian menu
TAIKŌ’s menu spans a wide spectrum of Asian cuisine with a strong Japanese accent. The sushi is fresh, well-rolled, with vinegared rice at the right temperature. The ramen arrives steaming with rich broth and generous toppings — chashu pork, soft-boiled egg, nori. The wok dishes are masterful, with stir-fried noodles and plates that retain their crunch. Starters — gyoza, edamame, salmon tartare — set the tone from the very beginning.
Setting and atmosphere
The decor is modern and refined — clean lines, ambient lighting and subtle Japanese touches. The space isn’t huge, which creates an intimate, focused atmosphere. Service is pleasant and efficient, a detail that contributes to the overall experience. The location on Rue Jounaïd is convenient, right in the heart of Casablanca.
