Wtff so good

Cute little restaurant main focus on fried Japanese food and Takoyaki. Food is really good and seller is super friendly.

Love the place

Best Takoyaki in Toronto! Super fresh octopus legs with flavored batter

Awesome food! Really friendly!

the owner is really nice

Randomly stumbled upon this place and didnt have too much of an expectation, but I was blown away. The Chicken Bao was phenomenal, perfect portion, perfect taste, perfect sauce. Absolute 10/10.

Best tonkatsu ever and they got Totoro decor

Ordered Takoyaki and brisket bao s. Had to order a second Bao because my picky toddler ate my first one!!! 10/10 recommend. Lovely staff and delicious food.

Hands down best Curry Chicken Katsu, and Chicken Katsu Bao in the area, Staff are the best. Food : 5/5

Best Takoyaki freshly made

Such a nice cozy spot to eat! Staff are super nice. First time trying Takoyaki and it was so good!! The chicken karage with rice was also delicious! Definitely coming back here again!

Great little spot to pick up some fresh Takoyaki and other items. The Takoyaki was great and pretty reasonably priced.

Really delicious, fresh takoyaki is hard to beat. It s a little costly but the portion was good and they load them up with sauce and bonito shavings. Its a small little store, but there is at least a few seats available inside and outside.

Ive always liked takoyaki, but after trying them here, I absolutely love them! Especially when you eat them right away!

Legit one of the most authentic takoyaki spots I ve had since coming back from Japan. Will definitely be coming back for more!

its hot so watch yo mouf

I love this takoyaki

Mind blown!

Came here on a Saturday. Devoured before I even took a picture. The chicken katsu bao and chicken curry are worth it. And the service is very nice. Will come here again!

A pure delight! We went back twice in the same day because we had such a great time! Very good value for money! Plus the manager is adorable. I recommend 100%

I visited this place awhile ago for a snack after getting a haircut across the street. It was a windy day and I ordered takoyaki balls. As I was about to eat my last one, the wind blew it over and it fell on the floor. I went to clean it up and as I was about to throw it out in the store trash bin, one of the ladies in the store saw what happened and was about to walk out with a fresh takoyaki made. I was very touched by this. Not only is your takoyaki delicious, but your gesture warmed my heart! You are too sweet!

Food

Best takoyaki in town! Always fresh and delicious (in store or delivered!)

Simple snack area where you can get Takoyaki and other small items. The space is small and a little dirty. There is usually one person working there so it can difficult for them to clean when it s busy. The takoyaki is delicious and hot. There is no seating inside but you can eat and stand while checking out Kensington Market.

Unbelievably good takoyaki, staff is very friendly

We enjoyed the food very much, a little pricy for the portions but very delicious. Ask for spicy mayo, it s very good, not too spicy. There s limited seating outside.

This restaurant serves delicious food and welcoming guests politely...

Great spot to grab some takoyaki while in Kensington. The food is great and the service is very polite. Minus 1* because one person is running everything (wait can be 30+ mins) and the prices are high.

went in on a whim with a friend bc we were craving takoyaki. takoyaki was great and the owner was so sweet, gave us an extra piece so that we could share equally.

Best takoyaki in town!

Go to a place for takoyaki! shrimp or octopus! You could get it regualr or spicy. They also got Baos too. Service is quick! The owner is super nice. Its a small shop but there are a few seats outside!

I recommend, very tasty takoyaki here!!

I was over at Toronto for the holidays and stumbled upon this place with my Mom while we were walking by the area, the owner is super chill and made us feel like we were at home, Takoyaki is amazing (we tried both Shrimp and Octopus) and Id stop by again if i have the chance!

Tried original takoyaki today, definitely want more!

this place is amazingggg, the owner was so nice she offered to cut the bao in half for us to share and the music taste from the speaker was on point. she served the halved bao in their own containers which we didn t ask for but it was really nice. reminds me of why i love eating in. only wish they had a big enough space for indoor seating in the winter both the takoyaki and chicken katsu bao were made fresh and we savoured every single bite.

We split a 10-piece takoyaki amongst friends before getting dinner and it was delicious, and reasonably priced.

Hot, fresh takoyaki that is well dressed and delicious! Amazing place for some grab and go food at a reasonable price

Best authentic Takoyaki in the Toronto! If youre craving takoyaki, come here. 10 pieces of freshly made takoyaki for $15. The Asian BBQ brisket bao$8, which is sandwiched with slow-cooked meat brisket, also looks quite delicious.

Got everything on the menu and everything was up to my expectations. Takoyaki > garlic shrimp balls, and chicken katsu bao > bbq bao. Would I come here again? ABSOL-FREAKIN-LUTELY!!!! The lady was so nice she told me that they are busy but will be able to prepare our order within 15 minutes. And she did just that. The takoyaki and the baos are the perfect things to eat during this winter season. Highly recommended!!

Cute hole in the wall, small batches. Their takoyaki is good but I wouldnt say amazing. A bit on the soggier side, ours was also reheated rather than made fresh, so some were not heated all the way through. The octopus was a bit overcooked, and quite a small piece inside. The sauce and katsuobushi were standard, loved the seaweed flake seasoning.

The takoyaki is always freshly made and tastes incredible! The owner is very nice and polite.

had the garlic shrimp and octopus takoyaki and they were both 10/10 :)

Are you looking for freshly made takoyaki in toronto? THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU The classic takoyaki is made fresh daily by a kind lady. Super nice and friendly oh and be patient, the store is super small, so the line up may get a little crazy. Since it is freshly made, its so much for softer than the ones i eat at restaurants (which are usually frozen takoyaki deep fried). Check out my tiktok for some video action @spiritedlaway or my IG @eatwithclaw for more food content

Takoyaki and garlic shrimpballs

I know this is a takoyaki place but the MUST HAVE is the Wafu Chicken Katsu Bao. These are made to order and more than worth the wait time of about ~5 minutes. The chicken is fried to perfection and comes out crispy and juicy. That is stuffed into a fluffy bao and topped with a cool and creamy coleslaw. The balance of flavours is and overall just tastes amazing!

SO GOOD please go here

Just had the takoyaki and they were tasty.

10 takoyaki for $15 or 5 for $8. Very friendly staff. :) Takoyaki wasnt bad. They were made to order.

Best takoyaki I ve had in Toronto! Filled with incredible flavour and topped with savoury sauces and bonito flakes. Everything is prepared right in front of you.

Good Authentic Japanese takoyaki. Lady who served us was very friendly

Affordable and freshly-made takoyaki. It makes for a great snack while wandering Kensington market. The owner is so sweet as well, she makes this eatery a must visit!

Taste okay but it was not authentic tacoyaki. It suppose to cooked in a special molded pan all the way, but they fried half way in the fryer first and finish cooking in the molded pan. That is why it was so greasy.

The chicken bao is DELICIOUS! The service is great and the food is so fresh and tasty. One of the best food spots in Kensington

Just tried the Chicken Katsu Bao. It was really good. The Katsu was fried to perfection. The Bao itself was so soft. Very creamy coleslaw. Decent portion size too.

Probably the best Takoyaki in Toronto. The owner is very friendly, love her energy!

I love this little gem! The owner is so sweet and I enjoy supporting small local businesses. Food is always fresh and delicious as well. A great place to check out in Kensington!

so yum!!! would recommend!!

Very nice takoyaki, fresh, hot, and a lot of tako

Honestly the best Takoyaki I ve ever had! Affordable, freshly made and delicious. The music being played from the shop is also 10/10 and the owner is very friendly and great vibes - a must visit if you re in the area!

This place is called veggie Delight it is one of the gems inside of Kensington Market truly amazing service the best vegan food in Toronto hands down if you have knowledge about vegan food or if you dont have any knowledgeable vegan food this is the place where you enjoy vegan food vegetal light is right and please if you pass through there please ask for the lentil soup or start with the lentil soup that is a good entry into the world of Veggie Delight veggie Delight is 100 out of 100 when it comes to Vibe and Beyond food energy it is the real deal it is the goat veggie spot in Kensington Market Vegetarian options: EVery thing. Vegan

Honestly the best takoyaki Ive had in the city. Staff is quick, polite, super friendly, and the takoyaki itself is delicious. My partner and I bought 5 takoyaki - came to $9.05 after tax but shouldve bought 10 after we devoured it. The takoyaki was piping hot, fresh, a good mix between savoury and sweet. Something going on about the bonito flakes because we cleaned the entire tray after we finished off the octopus balls.

Food was good.

Delicious and affordable snack in Kensington. Super friendly and generous service. Takoyaki was fresh and flavourful.

Ordered all 3 items, only got 2. The garlic shrimp was missing!

Loved it!

This place hit the spot for my Tokoyaki craving, I will definitely be back again!

Holy Molly. That chicken bao was transcendental. I had it 4 hours ago, but my mouth is still watering by thinking about it. Takoyaki has always had a very special place in my heart since I was a kid. I still remember that there was a food stand near my elementary school, and I always went there to get precisely 6ix (heh) takoyaki balls in the afternoon as a treat. Seeing the dancing bonito flakes, the smell of the crispy/soft batter of the balls cooked to perfection, mixing with kewpie mayo and the takoyaki dressing and the burning sensation when I ate them defined a significant portion of my childhood. As a result, I have a ~very high standard~ for takoyak; most of the takoyaki Ive tried in North America (e.g. ramen restaurants, and Korean fusion restaurants) are disappointments to me, which I would rarely order. I came to Takoyaki6ix once last year, and I gave it a four-star rating. Overall, I think the takoyaki made here is exquisite and definitely a lot better than many other places. I think it lost one star for me because the price was a bit more on the expensive end (15 dollars for 10 if I remember correctly). I got this insatiable craving for takoyaki ball today so I returned. Upon returning, I saw their new menu items (Curry katsu rice bowl & wafu Chicken bao). I felt pretty adventurous so I gave the wafu chicken bao a try. Let me tell ya, that was probably the best decision I made this whole week for my life . Freshly made bao bun, Golden fried chicken katsu, with Japanese egg salad (ah its so good. I freaking love Japanese egg salad), fresh cabbage and the tangy katsu dressing - this thing tastes like absolute heaven. I had some exchanges with the owner, Kaori and the staff, Mari, and they were super lovely too. The price to portion for the chicken bao is great too! Although it may be considered a snack to most, the katsu is pretty big by itself. With that heavenly taste at the cost of 8 dollars? Take my money. In addition, I really appreciate how organized and clean the restaurant is when it comes to properly storing the ingredients, including the raw chicken, and the seafood (octopus, shrimp balls etc.) Its always a massive green flag for me. All and all, just come and try the chicken bao already.

Good simple takoyaki!

It was alright, the takoyaki couldve been cooked longer to have a crispier outside.

This is more like a food stall than a restaurant, in that theres no indoor space to sit down and its run by a single person (the chef). Nonetheless, I had a good experience and decided to write about it. There were a couple of tables on the sidewalk which was fine on this nice sunny day. Other than takoyaki, they also had a garlic shrimp ball, and bao was served with bbq brisket or fried chicken. I would say that gives this stall something for everyone. The garlic shrimp ball is cooked like takoyaki except theres no octopus. The sauce was quite mild, not super garlic-y, so in my mind its not superior to takoyaki except it is a great choice for someone nervous about eating octopus. The bao is not often seen at japanese snack places and so its like a fusion food item. We tried both flavours, and they were juicy, delicious, and definitely not an afterthought to the takoyaki.

The best takoyakis I have ever tasted, I will always return and the customer service is very welcoming.

The service is welcoming, and the food freshly made, the best takoyakis I have had the opportunity to eat

Heard quite a bit about this place, so had to try. Their Takoyaki was very good with good chunks inside. The sauce the put on top really enhanced the taste. Also tried the Wafu Chicken Katsu Bao. This was also super nice. Well seasoned and crispy chicken toped with a very flavourful sauce, creamy slaw, and egg, all in a super soft bread. Highly recommended. We were greeted very nicely and they handed us the food while we waited outside. Theres only seating for like 4 people outside, so its best for grab and go. P.S. Ate so fast didnt get pictures.

The NICEST Bao Bun I ve ever had. Great local spot.

i got the katsu curry and it was so good especially on the cold day i bought it. it was warm and savory and id love to come back and get it again. i havent been able to try their takoyaki yet but i will definitely come back. although the size of the katsu curry was a small (i wish it was bigger), it was filling enough. the place itself is a hole in the wall but the vibe was very sweet and the person who served me was also very nice. i spent about $14 on the curry after tax which i understand for small businesses but i will come back when i can afford to. Kid-friendliness: i think these are very easy and good meals for kids to enjoy. the curry is just rice, chicken, and a non-spicy curry and octopus balls are very fun itself if theyre willing to try octopus.

Such a cute little spot! Super nice people and the best takoyaki Ive had! So perfect for a cold day.

A nice light snack at lunch during a work day. Got to try both shrimp and octopus takoyaki. It s served hot off the grill so be careful when you bite in. The outside was not as crispy as I d like it to be but a spot I would visit when I m around the Kensington area.

Their Asian BBQ Brisket Bao blew me off my feet! Staff were friendly and prices are reasonable for the area and for the flavor you are getting.

The takoyaki here is fantastic, tastes just like the ones I ve had in Osaka! The chicken bao was very good too, large portion size and delicious flavours in a nice bun. Will be combing back for sure!!

I tries the Brisket BBQ Bao and it was perfect. Fresh ingredients, well seasoned and perfect texture for the bao, meat and vegetables.

Authentic Japanese street food! Small and cozy shop! Have to try, if youre downtown!

Good place for takoyaki!! This place brought me back to my trip to Japan!! Also must check out the bao s!

I really loved takoyaki, will come back again.

Best takoyaki in Toronto, good prices! Very nice service

Heard about this place on TikTok and it was absolutely fantastic! Best Takoyaki Ive had. So fresh and flavourful. I also order the brisket and katsu baos. The chicken was pretty good but the brisket bao was incredible. Both were packed with ingredients that all tasted fresh and amazing. Super friendly staff who greeted us with a smile! Definitely taking another downtown trip JUST to go here again!

Very tasty but the outside wasnt crispy enough. Falls apart when you poke into it.

Delicious! I found this spot from TikTok and had to try it because I love Takoyaki so much. I feel very homey coming into the hidden gem, tasty and fresh! The katsu bao is also to die for! Highly recommend and I ll be coming back :)

If youre in Toronto and you want real takoyaki, go here. Its delicious!

The takoyaki was absolutely amazing! 100% recommend and Ill definitely be coming back for more. Well seasoned and each takoyaki ball had a surprisingly generous piece of octopus. Staff were very friendly and polite :)

Great takoyaki. Service was also fast

Delicious food and super friendly staff, we got the takoyaki and it was amazing.

great takoyaki shop

The only problem with this place is that I wish I could give it 10 stars. The food is amazing, fresh, delicious and well seasoned. I recommend the brisket Bao, its very flavourful, and light yet filling. The lady who was there was very sweet and friendly. 10/5 stars!!

It would have been great, as all the ingredients are fresh and good quality. The lady was also very nice. I think she just wanted to be fast and gave me my order too soon, as the tako balls where not at all done. The batter was uncooked. I am sure it is a great place, I was just unlucky. Ill return eventually as I think it was just a bad timing. I was disappointed though, as I couldnt eat them

Traditional takoyaki skillfully prepared right before your eyes. Watch out, its gooey interior filled with octopus has the potential to burn a hole through your mouth, but its so worth the risk.

Delicious Takoyakis!

Very good Takoyaki! Reminds me of the ones Ive had in Osaka. Would definitely be back!

Freshly made and absolutely delicious. Nice little place with great service and well worth the trip.

One of the best takoyaki in town ! Taste matches my memories from Osaka Just let it cool down for a few mins before jumping in :)

great service + great fresh food + big smile from staff . we will come again .

We tried everything on the menu and were not disappointed. We went in the afternoon, so there wasn t a line. Food was freshly made upon order and was all hot and delicious. Upon recommendation from the owner, we ordered the takoyaki with regular mayo and the shrimp balls with the spicy mayo. Both were super flavourful, with lots of bonito flakes on top! Both baos had a generous amount of meat in them. The katsu was thick and crispy and the brisket was deliciously cooked. Can t wait to come back!

The best takoyaki I ve had in Toronto!

Absolutely fantastic!! Highly recommend, authentic and freshly made

Fresh takoyaki hits different and kaori was so nice

The best chicken sandwich isnt one, ITS THIS chicken Katsu Bao. Sorry, not sorry, sandwich lovers ;p Eat this - asap - and if youre not convinced afterwards, then maybe you dont even like food, LoL. JK but SRSLY... This Bao is a like a queen of street foods; crispy juicy chicken, enrobed in a tangy sauce, adorned with corn & cabbage gems, majestically resting in a pillow soft bao throne. Im eating it and its taking my breath away. I needed to take a moment and let this did experience sink in.

Best TAKOYAKI house in town. They put bonito flakes generously and so yummy !

Tried the shrimp & regular takoyaki as well as the bao ~ we loved the baos and although they are a little overpriced I would recommend trying them at least once.

THE best place to have takoyaki in Toronto and have a taste of japan! Be careful not to burn your tongue though ! :)

SOOOOOOOOOO GOOD!

Tasty

Never tried this before but its amazing

Ever since its opened, Ive wanted to visit Takoyaki6ix! Im really happy I chose a nice breezy summer day to try it. The owner and staff are extremely kind and excited about the food. We had ten pieces, five of them takoyaki and five of them the garlic shrimp ball. Also did half mayo and spicy mayo. It was a perfect streetside lunch between two people. The takoyaki is packed with flavour, and so fluffy. The garlic shrimp ball complimented its sauces well. If you like takoyaki, you gotta go here. Its been my favorite takoyaki place thus far in Toronto! Ill be back. :)

If you are ever in Kensington market this small takoyaki place is 100% a must visit. Their takoyaki is freshly made, incredibly soft and filled with big chunks of octopus cooked to perfection. Will need to come back and try out everything else on the menu, easily best takoyaki Ive had hands down.

Wow, dare I say that its better than the takoyakis Ive had in Japan.

This was an amazing experience, when you see a authentic takoyaki grill you must try out the place its always going to be good. Their baos were also really fluffy and juicy as well, I had the beef brisket Bao and it was out of the world. Amazing takoyaki and Baos, I was worth every penny.

Absolutely tasty ppl friendly love this place! I really recommend BAO beef and Chicken both super yummy and good portion

Amazing takoyaki! Limited menu but delicious and made with care.

Authentic flavour! Finally a place that doesn t sell frozen Takoyaki to trick you! The owner makes takoyaki right in front of you! Although slightly expensive. But still recommended. They have a table on street side, no dine-in table.

Best Takoyaki in Toronto! The tiny little space believe it or not has the best tasting Takoyaki and they have also recently added beef brisket Bao - which is to die for! Very great flavours. Glad they got a spot in Kensington after seeing them grind it out in front of Rasta Pasta!

Very good takoyaki! Great location for more activities

Authentic takoyaki. Excellent service.

Some of the best takoyaki Ive ever had, even better than some I had in Japan. The favour is really good. A little pricey, but for a treat for in a while very worth it.

You must try the takoyaki! Taste so good! Become my favorite one for takoyaki Will back again for sure

Authentic takoyaki, must try when you re in Toronto!

A must try while in Kensington area. We tried the original takoyaki and the garlic shrimp takoyaki 10/10! Already want to go back tomorrow!

Nice octopus balls

Nice, friendly & welcoming lady. The egg salad with the Katsu Bao paired surprisingly well together! Does not skimp on octopus pieces in the takoyaki balls which is a definite plus. Will definitely come back to try the garlic shrimp takoyaki since this is the first place Ive heard of that offers this!

Lovely little hole in the wall serving up delicious takoyaki and freshly made baos. The takoyaki is great with a nice mayo type sauce and very generous amount of bonito flakes. We really enjoyed the chicken Katsu bao. Very crispy piece of chicken on a perfectly steamed bun with fresh coleslaw and Japanese tartar sauce. Takes a few minutes but well worth the wait and not overly long by any means. Very friendly lady working and would definitely recommend a visit.

Amazing takoyaki, fresh and made on the spot!!

This tiny takoyaki shop opened up two weeks ago in Kensington market. This shop literally has no seating so takeout orders only. They have a limited menu that includes traditional takoyaki, shrimp takoyaki (which is something I have not had elsewhere), and 2 types of bao (Asian BBQ brisket ($8) and wafu chicken katsu ($7)). I ordered 5 takoyaki ($8), and asked for a mix of shrimp and traditional takoyaki. Their authentic tasting takoyaki transported me back to Osaka in terms of the flavour and texture experience. Wonderful morsels of umami-filled goodness in every bite. I enjoyed the light crispness on the outside of the takoyaki balls and noticeable chunks of octopus. I like that the interiors were creamy and soft without tasting like undercooked batter. I love the perfect balance of flavours in the spicy sauce mixed with the takoyaki sauce, and the generous sprinkle of bonito flakes. Staff serving us was super friendly. Definitely recommend checking them out!

Amazing, tastes just like the takoyaki I had in Tokyo they also have amazing baos!

I have had their takoyaki, which is delicious. Their bao sandwiches are also super delicious. Both the Asian BBQ brisket and the recently added Wafu chicken katsu baos are super good. I will definitely keep coming back.

It s good but nothing astounding as the pieces of shrimp or octopus was really tiny for $8 for 5 pieces. It takes roughly 10 minutes for an order and if the person behind the counter is already making a batch you cannot request for any adjustments until the batch being made is done.

This shop serves very good Takoyaki.
