Takikomi gohan is when there's ingredients cooked together with the raw rice in one pot/rice cooker (like fish or meat or mushrooms and vegeetables). Usually it's also flavoured with dashi or soy sauce. It should still be called that in restaurants, or just in case try "gomoku gohan".That takikomi gohan looks so good. It's not fried rice, right? If I order it outside of Japan but in a Japanese restaurant, is the name also takikomi gohan, just like how oyakodon is still using the same name?

There is no specific standard for what ingredients should be included, so people can easily make this at home. One of the simplest recipes I saw online just needs soy sauce, mirin, chicken, and some vegetables or mushrooms to go in the rice. Mirin, soy sauce, and dashi should be purchaseable in Asian markets, and you can even forego the dashi. Just use teriyaki sauce diluted in the water to make the rice.
