Famed chain known for its savory, freshly made takoyaki (octopus balls) served hot with a variety of toppings and sauces.

Tips from the community

The chain for authentic and delicious Takoyaki, Japanese fried Octopus. This famous dish, originating from Osaka, is very popular in Japan- and for good reason. Along with delicious toppings that you can choose from- from cheese and mayo to fish flakes and green onion, Takoyaki is the epitome of street food and comfort food, and Gindaco is the place to go for a fair price with great taste.
