Meet the Business Owner

Takashi Y.

Business Owner

Over his 25-​year career, Chef Takashi Yagihashi has been lauded by consumers and critics alike for his exquisite ways of melding contemporary French, Asian and American cuisine. A native of Mito, Japan, the self-​taught Yagihashi was working in a local restaurant when the owner asked him to relocate to the States and work for him there; over the next several years, the young chef worked his way up the culinary ladder throughout Chicago.

Chef Takashi opened Noodles by Takashi Yagihashi inside Macy’s on State Street in 2006, his Michelin-​starred, namesake in Bucktown in 2007, and brought Japanese comfort food to River North in 2011 with the Michelin Bib Gourmand award-​winning Slurping Turtle.

Chef Takashi has competed on Top Chef Masters (where he was awarded «fan favorite»), Iron Chef, appeared on the Martha Stewart Show and Top Chef as a judge. Later this year Takashi will compete against former Top Chef and Top Chef Masters personalities in a new Bravo series Top Chef Duels.
