Tanuki offers a contemporary Pan-Asian dining experience that blends traditional flavors with modern culinary techniques.
While the restaurant may not be spacious (it's a small establishment with limited tables), its cozy atmosphere and Japanese-inspired decor create an intimate setting. The attentive staff ensures a warm welcome, and the background music adds to the perfect ambience. The menu boasts a delightful array of options, and the food unquestionably lives up to expectations in terms of both quality and value. Each dish displays artistic presentation with remarkable flavours. Together, the inviting atmosphere and attentive service immediately establish a sense of genuine hospitality.
The sushi and sashimi platter, despite its modest size, was a heavenly delight bursting with delicious flavors. They also have unique rolls like the Avocado and Teriyaki Sushi. I tried their Crispy Chicken Bao Bun, and its taste lived up to my expectations. The Thai Kaeng Kari with fragrant Jasmine Rice proved to be an awesome choice. To complement the meal, the Yin Yang cocktail was an exquisite and memorable highlight. All thanks to the bartender, who guided us to the perfect drink choice! Finally, I highly recommend trying the Pistachio Blonde dessert, to conclude your dining experience here.
Good food ! I’d specially recommend the charcoal cream cheese dimsums they are mouth watering and delicious

What we found most interesting, is Tanuki taking a call to open the kind of upmarket restaurant that they're aiming to be, in a city like Margao, whose main foray into oriental food has been 'chindian' in nature.
Does Tanuki meet the brief, for us, is an interesting proposition. There are certain aspects of what they are trying to do, which we found appealing, from the plating, the presentation, the space, the ambition to not do the same old same old. They plan chef's special menus and run set menu dining options, they have cocktails inspired by the use of oriental ingredients and so on.
The things that caught our collective eye included the special mango menu that they are currently running for the seasonal fruit. It has dishes on it that include the likes of Mango Salmon Carpaccio, Mango Nigiri, Mango Sushi Roll and Mango Sticky Rice on it.
These are all big positives. But outside of that, we still feel that some of the dishes need a little bit of tweaking, in order to be a complete success. This is, of course, all down to personal preference.
There is definite potential to be exploited here, and I can't wait to see how the restaurant takes things forward.
The place is very cozy and food is wonderful. A nice place to dine when you're craving for Japanese food. Everything is served fresh. Bar menu is good as well but didn't had the chance to try cocktails coz I'm more on my food cravings. Overall experience is excellent 👍🙂
The staff was extremely courteous, specially Glen who took care of our food. Sushi was one of the best and even the main course. Desert was amazing. We ordered panacotta and it was a little hard but the staff immediately changed without any extra charges. We are definitely coming back for more sushi
Parth, served us well with a broad smile on his face. The food was absolutely delicious. The ambience was chill although it's a small cozy place. Overall, it was a very good fine dinning experience.
Found this place randomly, and it was super awesome. Loved the cozy ambience and super yummy food.
Oodon noodles was a great hit.
Amazing food & Parth service was good. The bar man recommended a good cocktail too. Wonderful ambience small but cozy
Great Asian Cuisine! Everything on the menu is made to perfection. Great place for Sushi, Sashimi cravings. Innovative dim sums and amazing Thai and Chinese food. The Deserts are mouth watering. A must visit place in South Goa!

TANUKI, also known as raccoon dogs, are a type of mammal native to East Asia.
In Japanese folklore, tanuki are often depicted as mischievous and magical creatures. You may come across statues of tanuki, known as "tanuki statues," in Japan, particularly outside restaurants or shops, as they are believed to bring good luck and success in business.
That was just a brief about the restaurant's name.
"Visiting TANUKI was a delightful experience. The cozy ambiance and attentive staff immediately made me feel welcome. The menu offered a diverse range of delicious options, and the food lived up to expectations. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. While the service was generally good, there were a few minor hiccups that prevented it from being perfect. For example, the Bokchoy/Pakchoy was cut into bits of pieces in my stir-fry (Should be bigger bite pieces to enjoy the texture), and was a bit disappointed not to find a Japanese Beer.🥹 The salmon carpaccio was twisted for indian palate.
The place is small for a family eat-out. Perfect for couples.
Nonetheless, the overall dining experience was enjoyable and pleasant.
