🔥 takoyaki! Whenever I see the yellow tent with during a street fair, I make my way over to get some. Love the flavor and texture! Don't get fooled by the other places that sell you frozen takoyaki. Nothing beats freshly made! Warning: they are hot inside! Poke a hole and let it cool down a little 🥵

I am fan of Karls Ball Takoyaki. It genuinely impressed and the real Takoyaki! The takoyaki were freshly cooked, not reheated or frozen like you often find elsewhere. You can really taste the difference — the outside was perfectly crisp while the inside stayed soft and gooey, just how real takoyaki should be. Each bite was packed with flavor, and the generous toppings made it even better. If you're looking for an authentic takoyaki experience, Karls Ball is definitely worth it!

We had Karl and Karlballs at one of our events at the @northeast_rhd meet; the quality and products were the best. Don't hesitate to try authentic Japanese food!

Some of the best authentic Takoyaki in the USA! The octopus is very fresh octopus with big size along with a flavorful juicy and creamy well prepared batter to make the takoyaki fresh off the grill.if I could give 10 stars I would!!!👍👍👍The staffs and the owners are friendly kind and goofy! It was amazing hospitality! めっちゃ美味かったです。

★★★★★ 5.0 Gina Lipere · Jun 2023

Karlsballs is the BEST takoyaki I've ever had. I've tried a lot of takoyaki in multiple Japanese restaurants, grocery stores, etc. and my friends and I always say "It's good, but not as good as Karsballs." You can't beat it. I've only been to the Karlsballs locations at conventions, such as NY Comic Con and AnimeNYC, and it's worth the wait every time. It is THE convention meal for me. Super flavorful. Octopus melts in your mouth. You can tell its made with fresh ingredients. Highly recommend.
