Store Description
Japan's number one takoyaki chain, GINDACO, delivers a unique street food experience right on the Ground Level of The Block in SM City North EDSA. Renowned for its "crispy outside, creamy inside" texture, GINDACO elevates the classic octopus ball by deep-frying the exterior in a custom Nambu cast iron griddle, creating a perfectly golden shell that holds its tender, gooey center.
The brand’s unique selling point is its signature Tokyo-style takoyaki, which features a generous, real chunk of imported octopus tako in every ball. Unlike the softer, creamier Osaka style, GINDACO's crisp coating locks in the rich, savory flavor of the batter, sauce, and premium ingredients. Watching the staff expertly flip the balls adds to the authentic Japanese street food vibe.
The must-try signature dishes are the Original Takoyaki, drizzled with their savory-sweet signature sauce, Japanese mayo, and a shower of dancing bonito flakes and aonori. For an indulgent twist, go for the Mentai Cheese Takoyaki with spicy cod roe mayo and melted mozzarella, or the cheesy Manila-exclusive Triple Cheese Takoyaki.
