Breakfast at Tak's

Breakfast at Tak's is a small project I did on one of my favorite places to eat in LA. As a Japanese American growing up on the westside, one of my favorite childhood memories is ordering fried rice at the Holiday Bowl and wondering how they get the rice in a perfect mound. While the Holiday Bowl has been long gone it's legacy still lives on at Tak's Coffee Shop!
Find out for yourself how good this place is:

Great work, it's nice to see these guys get some recognition for what they do. Still my favorite place to grab breakfast in the city.

Great documentary! Sad I never got the chance to eat there . . . sounds like my kind of place!
I grew up in that area . . . I remember Holiday Bowl and Crenshaw Square with great fondness. Remember the Crenshaw Carnivals? Thank you for bringing back great memories and also, some great tunes :)

Memories of getting my hair cut at Ben K's or waiting for my mom to get her hair done and getting a big plate of bacon fried rice or char siu fried rice. Amazing. Mary is the sweetest nicest lady around.

Tadashi-
Your film is not only a tribute to Tak's, but a tribute to the community which blended Black American and Japanese American
cultures.
This brings great memories of growing up including the bowling alley, Dorsey High, Crenshaw Y, and the Nisei Festival.
Thanks for sharing such a positive reflection of the Crenshaw District.
