Tako Yaki

I'm looking for a place on the lower east side to get Tako Yaki. I've never had them before so help me find some great ones.

    otafuku in EV http://nymag.com/listings/restaurant/... is the best i've found in nyc (although they have switched to some automated maker thingie, which in my last experience resulted in more dry texture
    )Also pretty much all izakaya type places on st. marks have them as well, but those look just like the ones you buy in a frozen section.
    spelling it "takoyaki" might give you more search results too

      Agree with Otakfuku. Just make sure you get them while it's hot because if it's been sitting around for some time, it's not that good.
