Takoyaki Zozz earns praise for its namesake dish, delivering perfectly crisp, molten-centered octopus balls. The overall vibe is a warm, no-frills celebration of Osaka street food done right.
“This is a chain, not McDonald's. Years ago takoyaki were crispy on the outside, but now the trend is softer and more tender. Only the center is really hot. My first taste of takoyaki — very good. I didn't expect much from this little food court place that sells everything from candy to takoyaki, but it was surprisingly good.”
