- looking for Japanese drunk food? this is it. and this is the best. get the combo B: okonominyaki with pork (you want that crispy bacon!) and takoyaki with extra bonito flakes (aka fish bacon)
- Chefs FeedAgosto 3, 2016"Slather up the takoyaki with kewpie mayo, okonomiyaki sauce, and bonito, and you have pure umami. If only they sold alcohol; then you could wash it down with a beer or sake!" - Chef Tien Ho Leer más
- Brodie OlmsteadNoviembre 27, 2016Love this grab and go spot! The takoyaki was yummy and made to order. Make sure to ask for extra bonito flakes. Grab a combo for the full experience!
- Leo SumulongSeptiembre 26, 2018Probably my favorite place to go for Japanese street food when I want something other than ramen or izakaya. Get your takoyaki (fried octopus croquettes) with lots of sauce and bonito flakes.
- Ghassan AlkharboushJunio 4, 2016The okonomiyaki is fried vegetables with either shrimp or bacon plus bonito flakes and their sauces. The vegetables were light and crunchy, the shrimp added a bit of chewiness. Sauces are amazing
- Takoyaki balls!!!! Octopus are the best as that's how they're traditionally made, but they also come with squid, beef, pork, cheese and plain. Cash only and no sit down - but still AMAZING!!!
- Amazing takoyaki (octopus balls with bonito [fish] flakes, homemade mayo, seaweed powder and Japanese BBQ sauce!!) - food is takeout and it's a capacity of 3 customers at a time inside!
- Brooklyn UnitedJunio 19, 2013Osaka style street food. Takoyaki, grilled bits of octopus cooked into a ball of batter. Okonomiyaki, Japanese for "What you love, grilled" is a savory Japanese pancake. Unique and delicious!
- New York HabitatNoviembre 2, 2011A Japanese hole in the wall in the East Village good for a quick snack. Order the Takoyaki. You'll wonder what on earth you're eating and why it's so delicious. (Hint: it's fried octopus dumplings)
- BuzzFeedAbril 11, 2014Takoyaki are Japanese fried balls of savory pancake-like patter, with octopus in the middle. They’re served piping hot with gooey insides, and covered in a bunch of sauces and bonito flakes
- Nastya MJulio 14, 2019I’d never been to the “old spot” referred here by some, so can’t compare. But as for now, it is a good street food spot with decent cheap food and no bathroom, but a sanitizer on the counter.
- Kevin O'NeillMayo 24, 2015The noodles (yakisoba) or the pancake (okonomiyaki) are both too good to miss. Lucky for us you can get a combo! With a side medetai for dessert of course...
- TomOctubre 10, 2016New location does not have the same vibe as the original. Pass on their taiyaki, shells are thin and they are not molded together well. Go for takoyaki (if fresh), the okomomiyaki and yakisoba.
- Ghassan AlkharboushJunio 4, 2016The takoyaki here is ridiculously good. The dumplings texture is softer than marshmallows and then u get the chewiness of the octopus. The dumplings really brings out the flavor of the octopus.
- The Corcoran GroupMarzo 23, 2012If you haven’t tried Takoyaki yet, drop everything and go now to enjoy the savory octopus balls served up here. Still hungry, order Okonomiyaki with pork or squid.
- AmateurConciergeNoviembre 15, 2015Cheap Japanese street food (not exactly FAST food) that's super authentic and unique. Didn't love the yakisoba (like Lo mein) but dug the okonomiyaki
- Meir SadanJulio 30, 2013Takoyaki + Okonomiyaki or Yakisoba = 😻 Get it to go and eat it at Cooper Square (There's a nice seating area to the west of the Cooper Union foundation building)
- Ghassan AlkharboushJunio 5, 2016The red bean medetai are made of a thin layer of bread and a ridiculous amount of filling. The filling wasnt too sweet nor to savoury but perfectly balanced in between. Definitely give it a go.
- TEV NYCOctubre 9, 2012Enjoy delicious and authentic Japanese street food, made fresh and ready to go. Make sure to try the popular takoyaki octopus balls (six balls for $5) made from boiled and diced octopus.
- COOLHAUSJulio 15, 2012Bringing the street foods of Japan to NYC, Otafuku is our favorite place to grab a quick bite to eat before AND after grabbing drinks with friends in the East Village!
- Ina LiMarzo 12, 2015It's not the best but it's good enough for some authentic Japanese snacks! The new matcha cake is so so. Enjoying sitting outside with friends and eat
- Katherine ChiuJunio 3, 2015The biggest takoyaki I've ever had. Worth the price. Favorite hole in the wall joint when I need more food after a meal
- Alice faultcoreOctubre 6, 2015Amazing takoyaki, same as in Osaka, it was a pleasant experience to find takoyaki&soba in NYC
- Chris LAbril 17, 2014Takoyaki are Japanese fried balls of savory pancake-like patter, with octopus in the middle (they look a little like Dunkin’ Donuts Munchkins).
- Real Cheap EatsNoviembre 5, 2012Takoyaki ($5) may not sound appetizing, but they're worth trying. Pieces of octopus are enrobed in wheat flour, and covered in mayo, a smoky “barbecue” sauce, dried seaweed and bonito flakes. Leer más
- Sophie OmnomJunio 30, 2016Everything is great! My favorite takoyaki (octopus balls) but the whole menu is solid
- Matt SzenicsAbril 2, 2012It can be a mouthful if you're not into trying new things out. Flavor explosion! (The Octopus balls and that pancake thing are delicious)
- Jin MoonMayo 14, 2015Their takoyaki is real delicious along with their okomomyaki but it is a long wait sometimes to get the okomomyaki....
- Teddy LuFebrero 17, 2015hot, crispy outside, chewy inside, cheap, tasty. a must cheap eat in the east village!
- Zeynep ZOctubre 28, 2011If youre in a hurry get takoyaki to go, if you have some time to spare wait for an okonomiyaki w squid and everything on top !!! Also try ラムネ(ramune) the bubbly
- Lori LuoAgosto 10, 2014Get the takoyaki while it's still piping hot. You can order okonomiyaki and udon as well.
- Joe MulliganJunio 2, 2011You haven't gone balls-out until you've had their octopus Takoyaki. B combo with the pancake. You're not listening if you read the same tip from 30 other peeple here and haven't tried it.
- LorettaSeptiembre 12, 2013Cute little Takoyaki stand. Sign says fits only 3 people so wait outside! Reminds me of Japan :)
- Paul BrennerJunio 28, 2014Enjoy the stylized logo of a rabbit with a lead going up its butt. Nature is beautiful.
- David HuMayo 31, 2015Takoyaki is weird in between: a bit too much for a snack, a bit too little for its own meal. Combos way too filling for one though. Delicious any way.
- Okonomiyaki with corn + sriracha, literally one of the best things I've eaten in the city.
- Michael TAbril 5, 2013The guys who work here said to get the pork (and never the squid). The yakisoba isn't as filling as the okonomiyaki
- Lauren LeeMayo 13, 2014The food here isn't as good as it was when it first opened at it's original location. Sad because it used to be the best!
- LöplöpçülerFebrero 10, 2014Takoyaki ve okonomiyaki combimasyonunu alın ikisinin de tadıha bakmış olun
- New place lacks the charm of the old but the takoyaki is still delicious
- One of the few places where you can get fresh hot taiyaki (red bean pastry in fish shape)
