Ordered takeout here. 20 minutes later, I went to pick up my order and they told me to wait 2 more minutes, I came back later and they told me to wait 15 mins more. Clearly they just forgot about my order and didn’t show any sign of apology

When I ordered takoyaki, the Japanese woman made the takoyaki while chatting away on her cell phone, touching and sprinkling bonito flakes on it with her hands. The taste of the takoyaki was delicious, but I was concerned about hygiene and the service was poor.

05/09/2024 Along the corridor leading to the entrance of Don Quijote, there's a row of food courts, and this place is among them. You can see the demonstration of takoyaki, and the enticing smell invites you in. We had a set of takoyaki and okonomiyaki. Although the takoyaki wasn't freshly made, so even after reheating, the inside felt dry. Japanese takoyaki typically includes grated yam, making it soft and delicious. I wished they had used similar techniques. 05/10/2024 Today, we tried the Hiroshimayaki we had been curious about. It was pretty good.?

This is Takoyaki in front of Don Quijote. Since it was a food court style, I togo and ate on the bench. It looked good so I had high expectations, but it wasn't very tasty... Takoyaki had a very strong instant taste. But that doesn't mean it's cheap. -Hiroshima+Takoyaki $13.4

Best takoyaki and hiroshima okonomiyaki on island. Prices are good and the food is amazing every time, have never been disappointed. The best thing is getting the combo so you get the best of both!

The takoyaki ball's, were ok, but we feel like they had way too much batter on them and not enough filling. We have been spoiled. There's a food truck out by the north shore. The lady is authentic. She makes them order their hot and has a small coat of batter and lots of filling. We have been looking all around the island for them. But I have been disappointed every time. She has the best ball hand's down. There's another place in Kapolei that's decent to get these from. But the food truck has the best so far. I hope this helps you out and have a great day

Tried to order 12 piece of takoyaki, the Japanese lady on her 50s told me it will take 15 min. Asked how long for 10piece and the lady said will have it ready soon. After receiving my ordered noticed that there was only 9 pieces. Returned to the cashier to report 1 piece was missing as she responded as “ok 15 min”Without apologies she told me to wait for 15 min for 1 piece. Asked for replacement because the other 9 piece will get cold. The lady said no and wait 15 min.What a joke. It was pretty obvious that She was trying to fraud us by giving 9pieces. I have asked for refund which was processed. Now you have 9 takoyaki wasted. Also Thank you for wasting our time. I knew takoyaki Yamachan since shirokiya alamoana. so sad this place has fallen down this low. They usually give or throw out foods that’s left over at the end. Can’t even take an order and fix the problem. Asked for the refund because i wanted my tip back too. Never recommend this place anymore
I don’t recommend this at all.Food is ok.Service is horrible.I was there order asking for twelve piece takoyaki. The lady said no twelve piece only ten. I was fine with that. So I ordered that as the ten pieces combo( should be $14.00).I was patiently waiting. Then , I noticed the customer after me was order twelve pieces takoyaki. I asked “how come the customer behind me can order twelve pieces but I can’t.” At that point, I was not mad. I just want to understand why but She was getting annoying and giving attitude. She said because “you will have to wait for it!” Ok!? But I still waited for 20 minutes! I let it go.Then I noticed she charged me 5 pieces (regular price two times, $1.80 more!)I was fine with that. I was still claim and not even rose my voice at all. But I can’t stand for her attitude. She even lip saying “Bxtch” to me. She said she never heard I said that. At the end, she never said sorry. She thought I was the one to make trouble. Then she asked me “Now WHAT DO YOU WANT. I am the only one working!!!!” I respected you working alone but I didn’t respect your attitude. “ I want a return.”“Fine. You want twelve pieces!? I give you one more, happy!?”At that point, I gave up arguing with her. It was pointless. I will never purchase will them again and I don’t recommend anyone there too

I don't know how many times I've been going here but it's the only fresh takoyaki on the island. Use to be in Shirokiya when that was open, now it's located in the Don Quixote food area.Not much to see about good takoyaki. Freshly hot so beware when eating, you will burn your mouth ?. Worth the money. I wish they had em in San Diego.On vacation so I come everytime I'm here. Go beach, get tanned, get drinks and come here to grab a bite. I like to know how it compares to the ones in Japan by all the Japanese tourist that are here in Hawaii.Hawaii is already Japanese inspired with the history and of course all the food around the island. Broke the mouth. Mahalo.
