"The takoyaki appears to be made fresh, so it's served hot, but it does take a little while. I tried the Red Mayo Takoyaki. Most of the flavor comes from the sauces, so if you like mayo, you'll probably enjoy this. If not, it's just okay."

I'm very angry! There was very, very little katsuobushi (ๆด้ฑผ็). And I waited so long; they were working slowly and enjoying their own sweet time ๐.

"I recommend social distancing from this shop. The takoyaki was heated up, not freshly made, and had a funky-tasting tako filling and egg salad."

"I love the takoyaki here, but I hate the queue. Please hire more employees to speed up the service because there's only one worker around 4 pm, and it kept us waiting 20 minutes just to order."

"Very bad service. They said the visa machine was broken, so I couldn't use my card. They have many types of drinks listed, but only one was actually available. Disappointed and won't come again."

"Recently reopened on the 3rd floor of Tebrau City, this Gindaco outlet is located inside the Japan Village. There's a wide range of toppings to choose from, ranging from the Classic to Cheese Mentaiko. Expect a waiting time of around 10 minutes, as the takoyaki is made fresh to order!"

Still my favorite takoyaki at Aeon Tebrau. It's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Last time, they were also selling croissants (filled with red bean, chocolate, etc.). I don't know why they aren't selling them anymore; those were tasty. Overall, it's great.

"Love the takoyaki here! Everything is freshly made, which is great ๐. However, the service could be a little faster..."

"Do you intend to branch out with an outlet in Singapore? I would happily coordinate with you. Big fan of takoyaki!"

The takoyaki is to die for; it's like heaven on a plate. Will come again for the takoyaki!
