Takis, located at 341 East Colfax is just on the edge of the downtown but still within easy walking distance.  This Japanese restaurant has always been one of my favorite places to go to get Japanese food.

The atmosphere is a bit grungy but the food is almost always good, fast and fresh.  In the last couple of years they have started to serve sushi but the bulk of their food is cooked.  One of my favorites is the Chicken Curry.  They also have daily specials that include fresh fish.

One of the best parts of this place has always been the pricing.  You can get a lot of food for a reasonable price.  They do a lot of business for lunch and dinner so you know the food is fresh and doesn;t sit around like some other places.
