DESIRED BY MANY,
DISCOVERED BY FEW.

Inspired by its name, which means 'bamboo garden', TAKEEN is an enclave of Japanese fine dining hidden within bustling Old Klang Road, Kuala Lumpur. The creation of award-winning Chef Thomas Chan, TAKEEN offers one of the Klang Valley's rare authentic Kappo omakase experiences: where cutting meets cooking, and each course is prepared before your eyes to draw deeper flavour, texture and aroma from seasonal Japanese ingredients.

Beyond the plate, the experience unfolds within a bamboo-infused setting rich in earthy tones: a serene retreat minutes from Mid Valley, yet a world away.
