Hanadako - Osaka

Great tasting Takoyaki, went on a non busy time and ordered the negi-mayo takoyaki. It was delicious, the preparations were non rushed compared to some other takoyaki chains at Dotonburi which seemed more like a cash grab/tourist trap. These tasted amazing!!! Highly recommend!

I came at around 9pm and already spotted a long queue! I queued for around 30-45 mins. Thankfully the food didn’t disappoint! Highly recommend getting the one topped with many many spring onions. It was delicious and definitely worth the waiting time!!

Good taste! I ordered once Takosenbei for 200yen. 2 takoyaki balls are put inside the half-cut senbei, with mayonaise sauce adding on the top. Although the shop is not crowded, you can not stand and enjoy your food unless you order takoyaki.

We discovered this standing-dining takoyaki bar by accident. The batter mixture is in perfect ratio, and very delicious. The negi-Tako is very tasty, better than the traditional takoyaki.

Best takoyaki ever tasted! Freshly cooked, great textures on the outside, soft and juicy inside. Value the queue and it moves quickly. We went twice when we were in Osaka on a separate holiday. Great experience to watch the crew boiled the Takoyaki and not all day you get to see this in any other country apart from Japan.
