We ordered original t...

The batter appeared overly watery during cooking, which explained the issues with the final product.

★★★★ "The takoyaki was amazing. They had so much flavor! Truly one of the best takoyaki I’ve had.

We came during the Cherry Blossom Festival (4/20/25). The line was ridiculously long but I really wanted some takoyaki and needed that fix.
