actually i've never had the food here, only in japan....the time i tried it was okay...the venue was more amusing...it was in a restaurant in Shibuya called the Lock Up...it's designed like an underground dungeon and each table is japanese style on the floor behind a prison door...and they got frieky characters running around trying to scare you....it was funny as hell.

it's a theme-based venue...it's quirky in a very japanese way.

this girl placed a few photos of her trip there, i found this randomly....the clip is long...if you just want to see the actual restaurant start watching at the 6 minute 30 second mark.

My favorite J-food is Yakisoba...
I don't know, why... Maybe because I'm a fan of noodles XD
But i love rice, too.

Wow, that restaurant looks crazy! Theme restaurants are always the best, tho. Was the food as good as the atmosphere?

the food was okay nothing spectacular...the experience rests on the novelty of the venue...the food wasn't bad , don't get me wrong....when you have screaming ghouls running around every so often...it ain't all about the food.

you're right by definition takoyaki is made from octopus...this dish was merely an upscale play on the traditional street vendor food that takoyaki is...

Does Octopus have a real taste, or is it the type of seafood that has no real/strong taste and is flavoured according to additions?
