Kushikatsu Tanaka Takadanobaba — Restaurant in Tokyo

PLEASE. DO NOT GO HERE. I was looking for a place to just enjoy some authentic Japanese takoyaki, however, I was bombarded with loud music, obnoxious bells, yelling, and drunk workers. Firstly, we were sat down on a dirty table, with food stains from the previous customers. Secondly, the worker handed a WAIVER CONTRACT. What kind of restaurant hands you a contract? We were extremely sussed out. However, they kept rushing us so we could not even read what we were getting ourselves into. Then, a very young looking, drunk behaving man forced each person to order alcohol. This is very unprofessional and he did not even check for ID. Then, he forced us to play a dice game for some alcohol. We told him no, however he did not respect our consent. Then, we ordered a 20-set takoyaki, expecting to at least get some nicely made, fresh takoyaki. As we wait, and try to speak over the obnoxious amount of yelling and bells ringing, another young man brought over a takoyaki grill, a bowl of raw batter, raw octopus, and an instruction sheet on how to make it yourself. Are we serious? In the menu, this was not even advertised as DIY. We were extremely confused and this was a health hazard. The takoyaki did not even taste good at all. Or the drinks too. So we decide to leave. When we check the bill, which was supposed to be around 1,500yen, it was 4,500yen which was hugely inaccurate. When we asked the waiter to double check our receipt, he told us that according to the contract, which he barely gave us time to read, there is a mandatory “service fee” which we need to pay per person. What? We were so fed up we could not even argue with him. And for the cherry on top, we couldn’t even split the bill. Please avoid the trouble and do not even go close...

We had a great time at this place! The food was really nice, specially the fried skewers, but the best was the service of our waiter Yu! He was super helpful and attentive explaining everything to us in English and making us...
