Takoyaki6ix

What is Takoyaki6ix? Takoyaki6ix is a dedicated Japanese street food stand located at 160 Baldwin Street, Unit 5, in the vibrant pedestrian market district of Kensington Market. Specializing in authentic Kansai-style street snacks, it draws crowds for its made-from-scratch takoyaki balls prepared fresh in cast-iron dimpled griddles right before your eyes.

Takoyaki6ix Menu & What to Order The signature Takoyaki features tender chunks of real octopus encased in a crisp, golden batter shell, brushed with tangy takoyaki sauce, drizzled with Japanese kewpie mayo, and blanketed in dancing bonito flakes and aonori seaweed. Alongside octopus balls, the kitchen turns out steamed bao buns stuffed with crispy Wafu chicken katsu or melt-in-your-mouth miso-glazed smoked pork belly. Other street favorites include pan-fried pork belly yakisoba, crispy garlic shrimp balls, and Japanese chicken karaage snack boxes.
