It’s yaki, not yucky

Beat the end-of-summer blues by treating yourself to Waikk’s best kept secret: homemade style takoyaki. Located across from the Waikk Trade Center, Takoyaki Samurai serves up what its owners agree is their most popular and delicious treat: takoyaki balls (six for $4.50, 10 for $6), which are made out of diced octopus, minced pickled ginger and green onions. The concoction is then balled up in a flour and egg batter and topped with an original secret sauce. Other appetizing alternatives include udon yaki or negiyaki, an eastern-style pancake brightened up with an over easy egg and topped with soy sauce and pickled ginger. No reservations necessary for this jeans friendly, authentic Japanese hideaway. Look for the bright red lanterns and order a six-piece takoyaki with cheese drizzled on top while flipping through photobooks featuring restaurant visits from returning local fans and your favorite J-pop stars.
