I can't stop talking about this place to my friends visiting japan ! I totally love Takoyaki and I tried many little spot like this one but this one was the best so far. The price is low, right in front of Tofukuji Metro, I only tried Takoyaki here but I came back twice just for that. The guys are really cool, some can speak in english which is not common in Japan ! Be sure, I'll came back to Japan just to eat thoses Takoyaki again.
Great little spot outside Tofukuji metro station! Cosy little tavern to have some sake and a couple of quick bites. The takoyaki (octopus balls) weren't great but we were happy to be inside with something warm to eat.
The guy who took my order (I assume he’s the owner because another staff was taking instructions from him) wasn’t the most friendly towards me seeing I’m a foreigner. He barely looked at me and didn’t even say thanks when I made payment or when I thanked him, in Japanese, for the change. He was just silent. lol. Honestly that’s a first for me in Japan. And he was totally different and polite towards a Japanese speaking lady right after me. The gyoza itself tasted good though small. Couldn’t sit inside as I didn’t order a drink. Wouldn’t be back no matter how good the gyoza was.
The owner is not that nice to foreigner. 2 dishes of takoyaki, gyuza and drinks took us 30 mins; whereas 10 mins for locals. It seems that they only like to serve local visitors.
