| | | | | | From Serious Eats: New York Ever since I tried okonomiyaki in San Francisco's Japantown two years ago, I've been looking for something in New York that tasted as good. If you've never had okonomiyaki, it's often described as a Japanese pizza—a thick pancake filled with lots of precious go... Read More | | | | | | Usually I don't go for the clingy type. I make an exception for takoyaki, grilled dough shells that imprison a hunk of octopus. At this tiny Japanese takeout joint (which also offers ...

But when people talk about Takoyaki in the city, this place in the East Village always comes to mind. In m...

There are only three items on the menu: okonomiyaki (Japanese style savory pancake), takoyaki (octopus balls) and yakisoba (stir-fried noodles). Customers can mix and match any com...

Mitsuwa + Santoka Sunday afternoon, pre-Abraço (see "II"), I suggested a meal of ramen to Don. He inquired as to where. I proposed Minca, just a few stre... Read More | | | | | | Let’s talk about some Japanese soul food now, and forget about all health concerns for a lil’ while. TAKOYAKI (aka ‘octopus balls’)! No, they are not octopus testicles of any sort, but savory bite-size spheres made with egg/flour batter, with an octopus piece inserted inside each one, and then top... Read More | | | | | | I've come to terms with the fact that I never really want to eat sweet, gooey, chewy deep-fried octopus balls, even though I want to want to.
