The Takoyaki are more like Beignet. The outsides are crisp, almost like they are fried and have a strong oil flavor in the skin light a fried donut. That’s not Takoyaki. And not enough sauce. The staff (who are very nice) should travel to Japan and try real Takoyaki.

No Takko yaki on Tuesday. When it was available later, it was not completely cooked -- what a waste of $10.

They had yakitori, which I tried. I ordered the chicken thigh, pork belly, and sausage. Everything is cooked to perfection and smells good from the charcoal fire. The pork belly is my favorite because of the fat, the meat was crispy and tender. I ordered the karaage don (mayo & poached egg) as my main course. I believe the teriyaki sauce was overdone. As a result, the chicken lost its crunch.

Don't order from here unless they are fresh. Otherwise they tastes cold and rubbery. Chicken skin and Takoyaki was so-

The food is delicious, It's small seating area but they're are more around a corner, but you aren't there for a view you're their for the Amazing Food and when I say amazing I mean I'm a "picky eater" (I have texture issues okay ?) but this place has a lot of choices and my family and I always find new things to try! If you're at Mitsuwa, try this place frfr

The food is delicious, especially the quail eggs, but I was charged $20.86 on Sunday for what we got and then when the payment cleared today it went up to $23.99??? There's no notice of an additional fee for using card (and a $3.13 one would be ridiculous) so I'm just gonna assume they added a tip I didn't leave for them. Losers. It was expensive enough as it was. Thanks!

Passed by there and was astonished by the way the skewers looked. Decided to go first off such a friendly staff with such a great service. Sausage was soo good!! Then tried the chicken thighs too were just the cherry on top!!! Would love to go back and try more food from there.

root is left on the skin. Needs a better job if this is sold as food.

This has been a favorite shop for quite a while but today I need to praise them for politely and quickly address a very small problem. They were kind and gracious and will have my business going forward.

Cashier was nice . The flavorful , hot and juicy beef skewers was freshly off the grill! Chicken tight and chicken breast skewers were kinda cold, still juicy with decent flavors. Crunchy/crisp on the outside and soft in side octopus balls were good. Hot dog was okay. This place is located inside of Mitsuwa food court.

Mitsuwa Marketplace used to be really nice and well organized. They've changed it around since I was here over a year ago. Quality of fresh items and sushi has gone down quite a bit. Good place to get all your sushi, udon, soy sauces, Japanese food supplies and tools. Plenty of checkouts open and easy in out service.
