This restaurant is unsanitary. They do not throw out the dirty trash bags from the kitchen containers of which there were 5 at the end of the evening, instead they dump the contents and reuse the filthy trash bags. We thought because the containers were out and the trash bags with discarded liquid waste stuck to the bag we could throw out a paper cup, instead we were told by this woman who worked there to take it out of the filthy bag and take it with us. I didn't mind that as much as the reuse of filthy trash bags and the low sanitary standards which makes me wonder just how sanitary their kitchen is.

Takoyaki with Gindako's unique crispy fried skin. The contents are substantial and delicious.Although it doesn't have the juicy and soft feel of Kansai-style takoyaki, I'm grateful that specialty takoyaki shops are open and I always enjoy it.I pray every day that the number of stores will increase.

These are the best takoyaki in the LA! As fresh as they come with a healthy chunk of octopus in each ball. Crispy and pillowy soft at the same time. It’s also very satisfying to watch them being made right in front of your eyes. I wish they had a location closer to me, I would eat there regularly. Nom nom nom!

The Original Takoyaki they sell is loaded with a large squid comes with sauce and mayonnaise. You can order flavors as well from their menu. Service is fast with offerings of a stamp card when completed gives you another order of Takoyaki.

Ordered the original takoyaki and they were great. I don't want to be that person, but it didn't taste like the ones from Osaka but still very worth it. The inside was creamy without being undercooked (the worst). Very curious about the green onion & ponzu.

Located inside of Tokyo Central in Gardena. Freshly made. It's fun to watch the takoyaki masters prepare and flip the balls. Each takoyaki has a good amount of octopus. Be careful while eating this as it piping hot. My favorite is the original.Tip: ask for a stamp card

Ordered their pork rice bowl. Where's the pork? They were stingy on the pork slices, just a lot of onions. Not recommended.

Food was ok, just the ginger in takoyaki makes the taste different from what I experienced in Tokyo, plus the sauce was a bit too salty.

I ate Gindaco in Japan and was absolutely blown away by it, and was excited to see one here on the US. I stopped by here and tried it and don’t regret it. Although it tasted amazing, the sauce was a bit overpowering and sweet, but still very good. The left picture is Gardena and the right one is from Japan.
