As expected, it took too long to arrive after ordering.
It's crazy to wait an hour when you're told it will take 30 minutes.

We had to wait for over 35 minutes for our ordered curry chicken katsu. Curry is salty and we could still taste the powder in side.

As other reviews say, expect a long wait. It took over 30 minutes to get 5 takoyaki balls, which was not made clear upfront. At least it was fresh, though the takoyaki was quite soggy.

My wife waited for 45 minutes for eight takoyaki balls. Clearly Takoyaki is not their top priority any more, since I can see them on stove through the window but somehow they have no one packing them. It’s close to their closing time and we had our final protest for a refund, and finally the cashier entered the kitchen and came out with the long overdue takoyaki balls. The only deed to compensate is that they gave us a free donut.

Guys, if you have your significant other who just came back from work and need some tasty food asap, please think twice before coming!

This place is just not it for takoyakis.

I don't mind waiting long for the takoyaki (it was 25 min for me), but the filling inside the takoyaki was subpar. It was extremely mushy and almost looked undercooked. It had the consistency of a watery mashed potato. Anyone who had decent takoyaki will know that something is not right. When I took a bite out of the takoyaki, it was mostly the mushy filling and a tiny bit of the octopus.

There are better places out there for takoyaki. Even Udon Mugizo sells better takoyaki than here.

Too much salt in the food :-( They should remeasure the salt contents (serve less salt) on each items like the meat, noodle, rice, and soup base, before combining to serve it. The price for the Takoyaki was reasonable and the service person was helpful.

Went for their takoyaki but got the yakisoba combo.

Very good takoyaki, like top 3 best I've ever had good. The yakisoba was above average too. Costs a little more then an average fast food meal but for the taste it's more then worth it.

Tried yakisoba. Decent flavors but uninspiring. Serving size on the small side for $12. Counter person let the food sit at the pass for a solid 5 minutes, tending to customers ordering donuts instead. Overall not bad nor great.

It seems like a Japanese restaurant found in every Mitsuwa Marketplace.

I ordered Original Takoyaki, but the taste was so sour. After that, I had diarrhea.

The service and atmosphere were nice but the kimchi Takoyaki was burnt and dry. After finishing I felt nauseous and almost puked

Great yakisoba, would recommend to anyone!

I’m pretty sure they changed their menu here. Because they have more than takoyaki now.

They have stone pot maze yakisoba. And it’s good! Three of us tried the original, the garlic, and the spicy. All three were yummy. A nice little change of pace from ramen. Perhaps a tad on the salty side. But I love the egg you crack in the bowl and mix it all together. Excellent.

And by the way, they still have mochi donuts. Also yum.
