"This tiny storefront, with a wood counter and no seating, serves what is possibly the most unique take-out food in town---takoyaki, or octopus balls, a popular Japanese street food. A rice-based batter with chunks of octopus is poured into indentations in..."

"It's the smallest restaurant/take out place in the east village, ran by only two cute Japanese girls. There are no place to sit except for the bench outside and they have only three Japanese street food dishes including okonomiyaki, takoyaki and a fried n..."

"We have been listening to the buzz around this restaurant for longer than we’ve lived in New York– the chatter has been all about the quirkiness, the creativity, and the superb quality of the food. But one aspect has, until recently, overshado..."

"More like a shack than a restaurant, Otafuku has been a mainstay of this small block of Japanese stores. They have Japanese pancakes, okonomiyaki, but going to Otafuku means ordering the 6-piece takoyaki, octopus meat rolled into balls and mixed with ging..."

"At Otafuku, a low-key Japanese-comfort-food spot in the East Village, it doesn't get much simpler than this: two or three dishes with minor variations, all served fresh and fast in a space not much bigger than a Yu-Gi-Oh card. You'll find..."
