What customers say?

“ This guy knows what’s up! Unbelievably tasty takoyaki. The service was A+. He kept serving us iced water as we escaped the heat for a while in his small space. Very generous guy! ”

“ Profoundly cozy! I traveled solo so I was extremely shy to walk-in but the owner was very welcoming. Highly recommended spot for Takoyaki and good vibes. As I stated before, I was a solo traveler but the owner gave me a extremely needed compliment as I was leaving, one of the moments that made my trip. My only regret was not visiting the place for another round of delicious Takoyaki and beer. Can’t wait to visit again! Thank you! ”

“ This is the real Shibuya Izakaya culture. The bar man is a legend and immediately recognized that I look like Sting from Sting and The Police. We chatted to the coolest Japanese locals who bought us food and drinks. They served Sake that was as strong as whiskey and gave Takoyaki that was the best I had in Japan. What more can I say about this bar. It was my favorite night out in Japan! ”

- Josh Donnelly -

“ Tiny little place that I almost missed it ! Takoyaki is delicious and the place is very atmospheric ! It can look a little intimidating at first for the tourist but young boss is super friendly and welcoming ! Thank you for the hospitality ! I will come by again when I get the chance to try the ramen ! Look for the orange signage and get google translate ready ! ! Boss says it closes at 3pm but I forgot to ask when it opens again in the evening ! Do update timing on google map pls ! Thanks ! ”

“ Standing Tako bar with room for approximately 8 people or so. The takos were great when freshly made, crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside. Would have loved a more generous portion of octopus though. 500 to 700¥ for a set of 8 takos ”

- Pearlyn Chew -

“ Satisfying freshly cooked takoyaki in Shibuya area with a friendly staff which emits a cheerful atmosphere. A must visit whenever in Tokyo ”

- Honey Cuaresma -

“ Tiny little gem with seating for like 4 people. Fresh amazing takoyaki, open late at night. If you're in the area, drop by for a quick snack or even a full meal. ”

- Ankit Guglani -

“ A very nice guy serving tasty takoyaky in a tiny restaurant which is not very far away from the overcrowded Shibuya station but in a calm street located at approximately 15min by foot! It definitely worth the walk to come here! ”
