Taiko Cuisine
A contemporary take on Asian-inspired cuisine, Taiko is an Amsterdam icon.

Seamlessly blending Asian dishes with the finest local ingredients, Taiko Cuisine turns every notion one might have around Asian-inspired eating on its head, interpreting favourites like Wagyu beef, sushi and more with considered twists. Experience flavours, aromas, and presentation like never before in one of Amsterdam’s favourite spots for dining.
