Takoyaki6ix, located along Baldwin St. in Kensington Market close to Spadina, services up delicious Japanese street food snacks - think takoyaki, baos, onigiri, and kaarage chicken (they also have a kaarage chicken bento!). The small eatery is primarily take out only although they do have a few seats indoors and 2 tables outside. The seating indoors can be a bit cramped. I haven't had takoyaki since I went to Osaka and I was in Kensington Market recently to grab lunch. I actually had gotten takeout elsewhere but then saw the crowds of people eating takoyaki on the sidewalk which prompted me to make my way inside to order 5 pieces of takoyaki. Once inside I ordered my takoyaki. Staff were really friendly and the takoyaki does take a few minutes to make. I opted to have my takoyaki there where I sat outside to enjoy. The octopus balls were freshly made and super hot! I had to be careful eating them. Each of the balls had octopus pieces inside while the centre was gooey (just like in Japan!). I enjoyed my takoyaki snack while it brought me back to my trip to Japan. The takoyaki was delicious and it was quite filling as I finished them all up. Overall, a great place for takoyaki in Kensington Market. If you're looking to try this Japanese street food snack this is the place to come for some authentic tasting octopus balls! I definitely want to try the kaarage bento next time as it looked delicious as well.
A tiny stall located in Kensington, Takoyaki6ix offers freshly-made melt-in-your-mouth takoyaki, juicy fried karaage, chicken katsu sandwiches, various baos, and onigiri. Their short but simple menu is effective as it allows them to deliver quality through each item. The takoyaki are priced at $8/5 pcs or $15/10 pcs, a little steep but very worth it. You can also choose to mix and match with the crispy garlic shrimp balls, and they are topped with kewpie (spicy or non), as well as a generous helping of bonito flakes. The pieces of octopus inside are a decent size. The karaage (4 pcs for $8.50) are juicy, and for $12.50 you can get a karaage bento on rice - a generous portion that will definitely leave you feeling full. For $15, you can opt to get the curry chicken katsu bento. As for the baos, they offer a choice of beef brisket, pork belly, or chicken katsu. The onigiri are quite large and come with either tuna mayo, beef, or mustard greens for $3.75 a pop. Don't skip out on this spot for your next Kensington food tour!
Takoyaki6ix is the spot every time I'm in Kensington market. From the takoyaki itself, to the friendly service, to those little tables outside where I can people-watch while my takoyaki cools down (or awkwardly sit in the one empty chair next to a big group ). They are all part of why I love this place. Oh, and their karaage? Pretty damn good too.
Came here to try a tuna mayo onigiri $3.75 and takoyaki $8 for 5. The onigiri had warm rice with crispy seaweed. It was enjoyable but missing a bit of green onion or something for some extra punch. The takoyaki on the other hand was delicious and perfect. Hot and flavourful, I like that we can also mix and match with shrimp vs octopus filling. Service was prompt. There's a tiny little area for a few seats as well. We will be back for the takoyaki.
Holy Molly. That chicken bao was transcendental. I had it 4 hours ago, but my mouth is still watering by thinking about it. Takoyaki has always had a very special place in my heart since I was a kid. I still remember that there was a food stand near my elementary school, and I always went there to get precisely 6ix (heh) takoyaki balls in the afternoon as a treat. Seeing the dancing bonito flakes, the smell of the crispy/soft batter of the balls cooked to perfection, mixing with kewpie mayo and the takoyaki dressing and the burning sensation when I ate them defined a significant portion of my childhood. As a result, I have a ~very high standard~ for takoyak; most of the takoyaki I've tried in North America (e.g. ramen restaurants, and Korean fusion restaurants) are disappointments to me, which I would rarely order. I came to Takoyaki6ix once last year, and I gave it a four-star rating. Overall, I think the takoyaki made here is exquisite and definitely a lot better than many other places. I think it lost one star for me because the price was a bit more on the expensive end (15 dollars for 10 if I remember correctly). I got this insatiable craving for takoyaki ball today so I returned. Upon returning, I saw their new menu items (Curry katsu rice bowl & wafu Chicken bao). I felt pretty adventurous so I gave the wafu chicken bao a try. Let me tell ya, that was probably the best decision I made this whole week for my life . Freshly made bao bun, Golden fried chicken katsu, with Japanese egg salad (ah it's so good. I freaking love Japanese egg salad), fresh cabbage and the tangy katsu dressing - this thing tastes like absolute heaven. I had some exchanges with the owner, Kaori and the staff, Mari, and they were super lovely too. The price to portion for the chicken bao is great too! Although it may be considered a "snack" to most, the katsu is pretty big by itself. With that heavenly taste at the cost of 8 dollars? Take my money. In addition, I really appreciate how organized and clean the restaurant is when it comes to properly storing the ingredients, including the raw chicken, and the seafood (octopus, shrimp balls etc.) It's always a massive green flag for me. All and all, just come and try the chicken bao already.
Are you looking for freshly made takoyaki in toronto? THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU The classic takoyaki is made fresh daily by a kind lady. Super nice and friendly oh and be patient, the store is super small, so the line up may get a little crazy. Since it is freshly made, its so much for softer than the ones i eat at restaurants (which are usually frozen takoyaki deep fried). Check out my tiktok for some video action @spiritedlaway or my IG @eatwithclaw for more food content
In visiting Toronto for a couple of days as part of a group and we ended up at Kensington Market area for lunch. Wandering through I checked out Takoyaki6ix and it definitely seemed to be my type of place. I ended up coming back for a late lunch. This is just a little hole in the wall place, small with just enough room for a couple of people to order and the small kitchen area with the takoyaki cooking taking place in the window. The lady running the place was very nice and let me split my order of 10 pieces between the spicy shrimp balls and the takoyaki. Part of the fun was watching the prep of the food; shrimp balls being deep fried, the octopus balls being moved through the hotter sections of the special grill. Then everything is topped with sauces and bonito flakes. I ate my food at the small table out front. The shrimp balls were hot and tasty, succulent, rich and crisp. The Takoyaki were exceptional with the octopus just a little chewy, the flavors popped. Overall excellent, incredibly flavorful and delicious. If you are looking for some really great Japanese style street food you should check out Takoyaki6ix, incredible food and good prices.
Came here on a Sunday afternoon after wanting to try Takoyaki6ix for several months! The workers were super kind. We got 5 takoyaki alls for 8 dollars before tax. It took around 8 to 10 mins and they were piping hot! I definitely wish they had more seating or a larger interior space, so we ate standing outside their store. The takoyaki were creamy, warm and comforting. Not sure if it was from not waiting for them to cool down but we did have trouble picking up the balls and they easily broke apart. Delicious nonetheless however! I'm a big fan of takoyaki and am so happy to see a place that specializes in them. Looking forward to coming back to try their other menu items like the baos.
This is a tiny food spot offering authentic Japanese street foods like takoyaki, karaage, onigiri, etc. There's a couple of tables indoor/outdoor for people who want to dine in. I'm so particular with my takoyaki. I want it to be super crispy on the outside and pillowy soft on the inside. And this is exactly the kind of takoyaki you will find here. Super savoury and full of umami flavour. And while other places often contains small or sparsely distributed octopus, here they give you large and generous pieces of octopus in your takoyaki. This is pure comfort food and one quintessential street food that you have to try. The owner and staff are incredibly friendly. This alone will make me want to come back and try other food from their menu. read more

If you happen to be wandering through Kensington Market, Takoyaki6ix is an absolute necessity. This is one of the few places in all of Toronto that serves up homemade teriyaki made fresh for you. Everything about this place just screams Japanese street foods, including their tasty katsu curry, baos, and, of course, their takoyaki. You definitely have to try their pork belly yakisoba because it comes packed with delicious smoky flavours that are always on point. read more
I ordered the 5-piece takoyaki, and it tasted amazing! I think I might've burned the roof of my mouth, but it was totally worth it. The outside was perfectly crispy, while the inside was soft and creamy. It's a great place to stop for a quick bite if you're craving authentic takoyaki! read more

Takoyaki is one of my fav Japanese snacks! I tried the octopus balls from @Takoyaki6ix at Kensington market once before and fell in love with how fresh and tasty it was! Each one of them was made with care and love!! This time we returned to try their "garlic shrimp balls" (5 for $8, 10 for $15 ) that was marinated with sake and garlic and equally loved it! They were made fresh in front of our eyes by chef Kaori . Watching how she made them was magical. From when she poured the batter to how she continuously turning half cooked batter into finally ready to serve garlic shrimp balls!! My other fav there is their "Asian BBQ brisket bao" ($8). The brisket was so tender, juicy and flavorful !! Highly recommend!! Would love to return for more soon and also to try out their "Wafu chicken katsu bao" next time!! Would you try octopus or garlic shrimp balls or both? 160 Baldwin Street, Toronto For more food adventures, follow me on IG @eatntravelrepeat! read more

The smell of the food drew me into this small shop. I got the takoyaki and the chicken katsu curry. The chicken katsu kept its crispiness even though I left it to steam for close to 20 min when I walked back to my hotel. The curry was flavorful and seasoned perfectly. The takoyaki is the best I've ever had. I was impressed by the fast service given that there is only a single woman keeping the ship running. I would definitely come back the next time I'm in the city and cannot recommend it enough. read more
This tiny takoyaki shop opened up two weeks ago in Kensington market. This shop literally has no seating so takeout orders only. They have a limited menu that includes traditional takoyaki, shrimp takoyaki (which is something I have not had elsewhere), and 2 types of bao (Asian BBQ brisket ($8) and wafu chicken katsu ($7)). I ordered 5 takoyaki ($8), and asked for a mix of shrimp and traditional takoyaki. Their authentic tasting takoyaki transported me back to Osaka in terms of the flavour and texture experience. Wonderful morsels of umami-filled goodness in every bite. I enjoyed the light crispness on the outside of the takoyaki balls and noticeable chunks of octopus. I like that the interiors were creamy and soft without tasting like undercooked batter. I love the perfect balance of flavours in the spicy sauce mixed with the takoyaki sauce, and the generous sprinkle of bonito flakes. I was somewhat disappointed to find that there weren't noticeable chunks of shrimp in the garlic shrimp takoyaki as there are octopus pieces in the traditional takoyaki balls. Staff serving us was super friendly. Definitely recommend checking them out! read more

Wow, this place is amazing. We stopped in after walking past it to Little Pebbles. The smell and sight of fresh takoyaki drew us in. It was so delicious we ended up ordering more after scarfing down our food so quickly. We ended up having an order of takoyaki and 2 bao buns. I highly recommend checking out this authentic eatery. It's absolutely delicious and reasonably priced too! read more

Freshly made to order takoyaki and Bao! They make their own batter and the takoyaki has little bits of octopus in it . Very yummy and flavorful. One of my favourite places in Toronto to get takoyaki balls and I would say is on par with the ones I had in Osaka japan. Prices are fair at $8 for 5 pieces or $15 for 10 balls when I went in the summer. Takeout only but they do have a few chairs outside of the store to sit and eat. read more
