Wow possibly the best Takoyaki you will find in California. Make sure to eat it fresh and off the skillet, dont let it sit! 💯/💯

Ordered takeout from here and was super impressed with how well the food / flavors were kept. I enjoyed the classic gyudon with poached egg, which featured a light dashi broth, cuts of beef, green onions, caramelized onions, light seaweed, and of course a juicy poached egg. Pricing is fairly reasonable considering it's SF, and quality of rice was notably good. My friend REALLY enjoyed the unajyu / unagyu don!
