Es la segunda vez que vuelvo, y me encanta el sitio, pequeño y acogedor, y los Takoyakis están tremendos. Volveré muchas más veces.

Delicious Takoyaki comparable with Japanese standards. Space is abit like izakaya concepts where the cooking and seating areas are combined so oil and smells of kitchen permeates. The original flavous is the best in my opinion and get calpis + beer and mix them together (1/3 calpis to 2/3 beer) - you will thank me for this japanese secret trick(:

Tried all flavor! The original is the best, with fresh squid. 😋

We absolutely loved this place. The venue looks great, decorated like a cozy family restaurant straight out of Tokio. The person who served us was very polite, efficient and welcoming, even though she was the only one there and was both serving and cooking. I was impressed! The food was great, we tried a lot of different stuff and I was surprised when the bill came at how affordable it turned out to be. I would come back in a heartbeat!

To be honest it was the first time that I tried Takoyaki in a real Japanese restaurant, for us they were awesome, the passion of the owner and the atmosphere made everything perfect.

11/10 TAKOYAKI FOR LIFE Asahi on tap (who has that?!) You'll end up wanting more It's pretty small but if you arrive and it's full please order to go it's worth

Small (very small) place with really good takoyakis and gyozas! I spent 18 euros for 2. I recommend!

A delightful spot with authentic Japanese takoyaki. The chef is from Japan and is very kind. It is a small space, so there isn’t much seating. Different servers have different language proficiencies; we ended up ordering in Japanese to the chef directly because our Japanese was (marginally) better than the chef’s English, and our Spanish skills are almost nonexistent. We ordered the original takoyaki, yakitori (grilled chicken), gomawakame (seaweed salad), and Calpis. The owner was very accommodating, correcting an order mix-up (which was our fault) without charging us extra. The takoyaki was incredible and tasted just like it does in Japan. The yakitori was great, and the seaweed salad was the perfect refreshment between the deep, heavy flavors of takoyaki and yakitori. Washing it all down with Calpis made this an incredible meal. Would give more stars if we could!

This is as close as it can get as the original Osaka's experience. The takoyaki is amazing and is quite cheap for the quality. Totally worth it. The onigiri is too expensive for the small portion that it is though 🥲

Delicious!! The owner is also a gem and so helpful and nice. He is a pro at managing so many things at once - you can tell he’s passionate about what he does. I got too excited and started eating the food before getting pics but the takoyaki with Japanese sauce and black pepper are amazing. Everything is actually.

I got a double order of 6 takoyakis plus two skewers and a medium draft beer for 14 euros. Great food and very nice staff. Both the original and sesamo flavor tastes good but the original is the way to go

A must for #takoyaki and sake lovers! Cosy place and super popular but worth the slight wait for the yummiest takoyakis. Bonus: different sauces go choose from 🐙🇯🇵🤤

Wow this place is amazing. Incredible, riquísima, whatever adjective you want to say. It is truly Japanese street food with style and price. Amazing Chu-Hi, get the Calpis. I 1000% recommend this place and it will probably become a weekly place for myself.

The best takoyaki I've ever tried in Madrid. It really tasted like the one I used to eat in Japan, and the owner is really nice. The place is kinda small, but it only makes it more appealing for me. お進めです!!!

This tiny tapas bar is a precious little gem offering mouthwatering takoyakii ball bites. Takos don't have the either crunchy or robust texture that you would expect from finger food like spring roll…

A must-visit for any lover of Japan! The place is very very small, so I wouldn't recommend going here if you are with a big group of friends. They don't serve sushi or ramen or any of the world-fam…

Local pequeño y acogedor donde puedes probar comida típica japonesa y a buen precio. Nos encantaron los Takoyaki y el Karague, estaban muy ricos, las gyozas eran normalitas y los Yakisoba... bueno más bien eran unos spaghetti con bacon, un poco decepcionante la verdad. Por lo demás genial y la chica que nos atendió muy amable. Ojo que sales oliendo muchísimo a fritanga... Tuve que echar toda la ropa a lavar...

Me ha gustado mucho. Los takoyakis son los mejores que he probado en mi vida! ☝️La carta es pequeña pero suficiente, te lo hacen al momento y todo está muy bueno! Y los precios son top. ☝️El local es muy pequeñito también ☝️está bastante limpio Lo recomiendo mucho

Pequeño local japones donde podrás probar de los mejores tokayakis. Tienen diferentes salsas para eligir, nosotros elegimos la original y estaban increibles. El local tiene pocas mesas dentro, nosotros comimos en la barra y ver como hacen los takoyakis es un espectaculo. Trato genial del personal.

Hangel

This a small place which you can visit to enjoy some takoyakis, but only that. It's a pretty nice izakaya.

Great takoyaki, quite similar to the ones in Japan. Also Japanese atmosphere. The bad news is the kitchen extraction is not powerful enough to absorb all odors from cooking, so you get out kinda smelly. Nonetheless, I quite recommend it.

Local para comer takoyaki. La carta no ofrece mucha más variedad: gyozas, edamame, ensalada de alga y algún postre.. así que es una apuesta total al plato principal: takoyaki. Está bien para variar, como picoteo o cena muy "informal" pero no esperes nada del otro mundo, es takoyaki, tiene que gustarte. Tienen 4 salsas diferentes, la de sésamo me gustó. El local me recordó a las típicas tabernas japonesas, es pequeñito, combina mesas con barra y silla alta. El personal amable.

Sitio pequeño pero acogedor y las chicas del local muy amables . Pedimos : - Gyoza de pollo y verdura es lo que más recomiendo de la carta . - 20 takoyakis por 19€ ( llevaban buena cantidad de pulpo aunque a la masa le faltaba algo de cocción ) . - Pollo teriyaki buena cantidad de salsa aunque nos lo sirvieron frío . Además quisimos probar el melón pan por ser domingo pero estaba algo reseco

Local que hace unos años era de referencia, y que ha pasado de un 9 a un 6. Takoyakis pequeños, informes y un poco sosos. Añadieron hace tiempo onigiris, pero ahora sólo tienen un tipo de onigiri que es una especie de arroz frito caliente en formato bola de arroz con un alga blanda. No recomendable. Los yakitoris - ok. Los postres, mejor no pedirlos. No sé si ha cambiado de dueño (había dos chicas, en lugar del hombre que normalmente nos atendía), pero un sitio para olvidar. Una pena, porque lo recomendábamos mucho.

Increíble ese 4,6 todo mal, yo no entraría y evidentemente no volveré

Comida bastante unica y original de Japon. Muy sabrosa las bolitas de pulpo con salsas! tambien probamos los triangulos de arroz rellenos y estaban ok. Les faltaba como una salsita. La razon de 2 estrellas es que tuvimos la oportunidad de ver como hacian las bolitas, y la persona cocinando despues de limpiar la cocina y ordenar todo el relleno de las bolitas agarro la comida (pulpo + otros ingredientes) con las manos directamente sin usar guantes. Y luego siguio limpiando con las manos llenas de comida. No parece bastante higienico particularmente si los clientes van a ver como se hacen. Algo que definitivamente tienen que mejorar. Si no hubiese sido por esto, les daba todas las estrellas. Espero que tomen este review como una critica muy constructiva para que no tengan problemas a futuro.

Llevaba tiempo sin ir. Fui hace un par de semanas y dudo que vuelva. Nos atendio una chica joven bastante apática. Con el local vacio no hacía más que preguntar de formas muy agresivas (ni un hola por delante) que cuantos eramos y ordenarnos donde sentarnos de muy malas maneras. Nos sirvió el edamame cuando ya habíamos terminado una bandeja de 10 bolitas. Unas formas muy hoscas y una mirada hostil en todo momento con todos los clientes. A las 22:30 abrio la puerta de par en par y cortó la música. Quedaba aún una hora para cerrar. Pagamos, ni un gracias y nos fuimos. Sinceramente no encuentro un solo motivo por el que volver. Teniendo en cuenta qur ahora existen más establecimientos dedicados al takoyaki, donde el servicio es brutalmente superior.

Plus: it’s cheap. Minus: the food is horrrrrrible. It has nothing to do with Japanese food. The chicken karaege is tiny bits of chicken lost in fried gunk. The girls working are in a bad mood. The music is horrible I-rock. And the place smells bad. So yeah, wouldn’t recommend it. It’s fallen a lot since the Japanese owner chef left.

Takoyaki was very dry... there was no customer when we entered the store, the takoyaki was in the tray already before we ordered. We think it was there many hours ago. The staff just heated it up and gave it to us. It was so bad...

Fred H.

Disappointing. The portions are extremely small, I mean hobbit size. Three takoyaki here is like one of normal size. The chicken brochette was very bad (precooked and warmed-up) and also hobbit size. The place is extremely small. I am telling you this is a hobbit place. The waitresses were nice but as japanese as a pizza can be. There are plenty good japanese restaurants in Madrid, skip this place.

I don't know how the food is, but the service doesn't have to be Japanese or even European. Perhaps the Korean customer wrote well in the review, there is a giant problem of discrimination against foreign tourists. Not the Japanese owner from Tokyo, but the people works at this Japanese restaurant who discriminated against foreign tourists. I might just politely think that maybe she doesn't speak so much English that she doesn't even have the basic education to say “hello”. As you might notice from my reviews, I don't comment much, but if I write a review it always does five stars. Tonight my partner and I had to wait 30 minutes for another Japanese restaurant from Michelin's list, so we decided to go to this one close by for a quick drink. Honestly, there are so many Japanese restaurants(even run by chefs from Tokyo) in Europe and Spain right now, personally I don't think any Japanese restaurant could announce in public that their taste more authentic than others. But for me, eating in an Asian restaurant is always a pleasure, and tonight I was absolutely wrong. When I arrived(my European paterner was waiting outside), I saw that both staff of the bar were busy. I was totally understand that this was a friday night, so I waited at least 5 minutes near the door until I noticed that still no one was even looking/noticed at me. Like the normal European way, I immediately tried to approach near the bar, I tried to find the way for understanding the service. In this moment, two staffs immediately noticed me and directly thought/communicated that I was try to sit directly in the reserved seat at the bar(without ask)?! I understood maybe it was not the moment, I went back near the door and I continue to wait for the right moment. Then a local gentleman behind me passed me straight and ordered takeaway suddenly! And even after for a while, other two local customers spoke directly with the staff and paid for the dinner. So, the two staffs pretend to be busy and were unwilling/unfriendly/unprofessional to ask a foreign client(who have been waiting for almost 10 to 15 minutes) in English for 10 seconds for communicate/understanding:"If you would a table you have to wait outside about XX minutes./If you need a take away you could order right now o after 5 minutes." In this moment I realized that I am totale the air/nothing for them, thanks.
