I love Kansai street food but this place tends to be inconsistent and really slow sometimes (30 minutes for one okonomiyaki and 6 takoyaki?!?!?) at times they look annoyed when you order food. Its a toss-up if its worth the wait or not. more

It's pretty damn good near the top in terms of takoyaki in the city. Dang good value when you purchase combos and the draw here is it's street food sold in a small hole in the wall. I don't want to go into a full service restaurant, pay for the food and tip just for TAKOYAKI! Recommended for everyone. more
