Takoyaki Teppachi in Düsseldorf

Besides an amazing lunch deal—an onigiri set with one alteration, karaage, miso soup and a soft drink for just €16—this place was quite a find! The onigiri was freshly made in front of us and absolutely delicious. An interesting touch was the self-cleaning concept, where guests are invited to clear their plates and bring their drink bottles to the checkout—a unique experience in the heart of Düsseldorf.

This is our favorite spot on Immermannstraße. The ramen places are always full and we don‘t like waiting in line. Besides, we can get ramen anywhere, but not good takoyaki from a place that also offers delish karaage and freshly handmade onigiri 😁

We had the onigiri set at Takoyaki Teppachi, and it was perfect—fluffy rice and a cozy miso soup on the side. But the real treat? The dessert was amazing, and the guy who makes it is super cute. Definitely coming back for more—food and eye candy!

Super delicious food, highly recommended.

Oishii! It was incredibly delicious, and importantly for me: there were great vegetarian options!

We had the onigiri set, and everything was absolutely perfect—fresh, flavorful, and authentic. The atmosphere was cozy, and the service was excellent. A flawless experience—10/10! Can’t wait to come back!

One of the best takoyaki restaurants I've ever had in my life. It's true that some of the ingredients are simpler, but I found the takoyaki to be perfect. We had to wait in line for a while, but it was worth it. We hope to return soon. Greetings from Spain!

Super delicious and fresh onigiri!

First of all, if you're going to eat Samgam Gimbap at the store, just order the set. It comes with a smile and 4 karaages, so it's a moat item. The takoyaki here is really delicious. And the salmon triangle kimbap didn't have a fishy smell like Japanese home-cooked food, and the seasoning was just right, so it really felt like a Japanese friend had made it. My former co-worker happened to be named Tetbei, and the name of this restaurant was Tetbei, so it was interesting, and I was surprised that the taste of the triangle gimbap was exactly the same as the one my friend used to give me one by one from time to time haha. You have to pay a separate fee for takeout, so it's a bit burdensome if you order a lot of menu items. However, if you bring courage, they will kindly serve it to you.

The food itself is far from authentic Japanese food. The skin of Taiyaki is weird, matcha latte is way too sweet. The atmosphere is good though so if you simply want to hangout with friends it is ok

In my opinion, the best onigiri I've tried in Germany so far. As a comparison, I only have the one from the Asian shop. The takoyaki and chicken karaage skewers were also delicious!

The best onigiri in the Japan Quarter. The onigiri are freshly prepared here and taste very tasty and the price is very fair. The Onigiri Spicy Karaage are particularly recommended

Great little spot. Good food, good atmosphere, good price.

Extremely delicious! Totally recommend, fair price - quality.

The staff is extremely friendly, polite and respectful. You feel really comfortable. I personally ate the square onigiri with chicken. The onigiris are out of this world! They are so incredibly delicious, fresh, edible and delicious. I can recommend this restaurant to everyone! We sat outside, so I don't know what the ambience was like inside

I have to say it was very tasty, everything was freshly prepared. The staff can be a bit friendlier, especially at the reception, you feel somehow unwelcome, unfortunately there is no sauce or spices at the table. Chairs are very uncomfortable… just a wooden board and everything is cramped…

The tuna mayo onigiri was made fresh for us and was warm and delicious. However, I think the price is a bit too high at €3.80. My daughter thinks the onigiri at Hanaru Market is even better.

The best Japanese restaurant that I have ever been to. And I was 3 weeks in Japan this summer. This place is as good as it gets in Japan. And the most charming and beautiful waitress as a cherry on the cake. You will love this place

Simply great, delicious food, and very well priced! 👍👍👍

incredibly good takoyaki, a bit expensive but justified for the taste. very nice service and nice atmosphere. The onigiri are very tasty and well filled, a rarity. best onigiri & takoyaki in town

The food there is really delicious. Every time I'm in Düsseldorf I get at least 1 onigiri, so if you like onigiris you definitely have to go there. What's also pretty good is the miso soup (for €2) and the karaage sticks (chicken skewers)

The staf was super helpful and nice. Such a cozy place to enjoy your meal.

As for the takoyaki, the rice balls are handmade and not hard and are very delicious!

The best place for takoyaki lovers. But they also serve great onigiri and other side dishes. Everything is freshly made and the staff was very friendly.

Karaage and onigiri very tasty. The Japanese fries were also very flavorful. Eaten both take away and on site. Very satisfied both times.

Very tasty food and good prices

Very tasty soup, the best I tried here, very tasty cuisine, very friendly employees, the best price-quality

Very tasty and atmospheric, and the staff is very nice!

I ordered the spicy karaage onigiri and the BBQ pork onigiri for takeaway. The shop was quite busy on a Friday, so I had to wait a bit, as there was even a long line of people waiting to be seated. I received a beeper that would notify me when my order was ready. Once it beeped, the staff handed us our onigiri in a box. However, when I got home and started eating, I realized there was a mix-up. I received the spicy karaage onigiri as ordered, but instead of the BBQ pork onigiri, I got a chicken teriyaki onigiri. I could tell it was chicken teriyaki because of the distinct flavor and the presence of chicken skin, which isn’t part of BBQ pork. I was a bit disappointed, as I was really looking forward to trying the BBQ pork onigiri. I understand the shop was very busy, but I hope this kind of mistake can be avoided in the future. Lesson learned: always double-check your order and confirm with the staff before leaving, especially when the shop is crowded. Mistakes can happen when it's busy, so a quick check can save any disappointment later.

We have had mixed experiences at Takoyaki Teppachi in Düsseldorf. We personally did not like the takoyaki very much, but that is probably a matter of taste. If you are a true lover of takoyaki, your experience may be different. The onigiris, on the other hand, were fantastic! They are freshly made and served hot, which is a really big plus. We especially recommend the unagi-onigiri; the taste is delicious and perfectly balanced. You do have to take a queue into account, but that is actually only logical for a popular place like this. The wait is definitely worth it. All in all a great experience, with the onigiri as an absolute highlight. For us a big 4 out of 5 stars!

There are very tasty takoyakis here! Although we were super full, we still had to try the takoyakis in Düsseldorf. It was worth it, they are really very good! Unfortunately, some dishes and drinks were no longer available when we ordered. And it took a little long to prepare. You can pay by card here.

The first takoyaki shop where vegetarians can also find what they are looking for! The onigiri are also great and a decent portion and the tayaki with croissant dough are incredibly tasty.

We went here for dinner because we love takoyaki. On the table it stated that the takoyaki they serve should be crunchy on the outside and a bit soft on the inside. Which we agree on, but sadly enough the takoyaki were also soft on the outside and looked a bit deflated. The taste was still good but the texture was a bit disappointing. The karaage and the ika geso ramen were very tasty and the miso was okay. We were too full to eat the onigiri but had them later on as a snack. They were tasty even after keeping them for a couple of hours and had used good quality nori to wrap the riceball in.

The Takoyaki is really good. My favorite is the original one. The place is a lil bit small, but the service is great. Glad I ever experienced that

Delicious Japanese snacks & ramen. Authentic flavors, friendly service 😍

Literally the worst service. Takoyaki is average,

We found it delicious, but we also have to say that we have had better takoyaki. Because the store specializes in this, we had high expectations.

It was a good place. I loved especially onigiris. I dont think the same think about Takoyaki.Sorry. But I definitely recomend itthere

We had to wait more than half an hour and had no message that the employee would take care of us. When we waited again for our food after 32 minutes it was very cold. Unfortunately, it is a food trap not recommended for tourists. Unfortunately, the woman at the counter was also very unfriendly, which is a shame.

awesome staff. came late every thursday and friday and got free stuff(that was actually yummy). everyone is very nice and there is some cheap stuff that tastes good.

Vacation to Düsseldorf and wanted to eat something with the boys, unfortunately we had to stand in line for an hour and wait half an hour for food. For a quick fast food meal that can be eaten in seconds...it's not worth the hype. The woman at the counter didn't let us know either.

We got the oniguiri which came very fresh and warm. Fast and efficient service

Good food, quite slow service but friendly and nice so it's not a big problem. Matcha is also really nice

Very cozy shop with great food and, above all, exceptionally attentive and friendly service. Had 2 ramen, one with takoyaki and one with fried octopus. There were also 3 onigiri with different fillings, the ones with grilled eel were particularly delicious. Fried chicken (karaage) also hit the spot. We particularly liked the atmosphere in the store. Prices are cheap to average depending on the dish, value for money is right. We have nothing to complain about. Big thanks again to the owner, who opened the shop for me an hour and a half after it closed to give me my cell phone, which I had forgotten there. And to the 3 nice Japanese women from the shop next to you who contacted you for me.

I didn't like the takoyakis. It's a simple mass of flour, like a doughnut, with a piece of octopus inside (in my case). The sauces they put on top have such a strong flavor that they interfere and don't let you appreciate the flavor of the takoyakis. I didn't like the karaage either. Overly battered greasy chicken. I liked the onigiri, on the other hand. The place is not entirely comfortable because instead of chairs there are wooden benches.

Very nice service and food. I recommend the onigiri!!!

We came for a day trip to little tokyo from the netherlands, almere. The stars given says enough, right? 😉

The food is worth the money, but no card payment is possible, which is a no-go for a business like this these days, but it's ok. The service is OK, but a bit sloppy

The clerk who helped me was very kind and the atmosphere of the store was very nice! Both the takoyaki and rice balls were great. I will come again ☺️

Takoyaki and Onigiri were the absolute highlight of our stay in Düsseldorf. Very friendly staff and the price is more than fair. Gladly again and again!

A nice place for authentic takoyaki. All the orders are made fresh so the wait can be long. The tastes is authentic but I would like it to be cooked a bit more to have a crispier outer shell. It is on a pricey side considering the portions.

I was finally able to eat takoyaki, something I've wanted to try for so long. Service, food and decor were really great.

Takoyaki are solid. Consistency didn't come close to those from Japan. If you don't come to Takoyaki/Tako Tuesday I think the prices are a bit too high. Otherwise great. (visited November 5th, 2024)

Exciting and unusual: the takoyaki, small dough balls with octopus filling, which I tried on the recommendation of a very friendly waitress. Served with a spicy sauce and fish roe, they were a real experience in terms of taste and texture. Warning: They are extremely hot inside! As side dishes I chose edamame and a wakame salad - both light and fresh accompaniments. To round things off, I tried an eel onigiri, a classic Japanese rice dish. Although octopus, fish roe and eel are not my usual favorites, I was pleasantly surprised: everything tasted excellent and sent the palate on a culinary journey. This restaurant is an absolute recommendation for anyone not from Düsseldorf who likes to try new things, even if the shop doesn't look like much.

Half an hour standing in line + half an hour waiting for food. For a meal that's gone in five minutes.

Takoyaki Teppachi is an absolute must for my family every time we visit Düsseldorf. My 9-year-old son loves the dishes and the prices are really unbeatable - apart from the drinks, which I personally find a bit too expensive. But the excellent food completely makes up for it. We always order the Tako-yaki, which is also great to take with you. The service is always courteous and the food is prepared quickly and freshly. We are particularly impressed by the cleanliness of the restaurant; Sauces and hand sanitizer are available on every table. A thoroughly recommended restaurant for all lovers of Japanese street food! We are already looking forward to our next visit.

Very tasty takoyaki. I love the Kirin beer on tap for only 5 euros. Onigiri are also delicious and the atmosphere is totally comfortable.

The takoyakis are awesome! Immediately bring back memories of the legendary takoyakis from Osaka. The service is top, authentically friendly.

Very nice place. You can even order food at the table using a QR code. I ate my first takoyaki here 😍 Once with octopus and mayo and once with edamame and corn. Super delicious!

Ordered takoyaki (10x regular and 6x mayo) yesterday and they were fine. Ordered again today (6x vegetarian and 6x negi) and they took 30 minutes despite saying it would be 10, served two groups before us even though they came and ordered the same things after us, and used the wrong/vegetarian takoyaki for the negi. Disappointing.

Very nice interior and very tasty

Loved the atmosphere and staff behaviour. We tried the original Takoyaki and it tasted heavenly. Only downside no halal meat available but plenty of veg and seafood options!

It was super tasty and not expensive. The atmosphere was nice and cozy. Definitely worth to visit❤️

Very tasty and fresh Takoyaki with a street food flair. The takoyaki are prepared in front of you and different types with toppings are offered. You can also order yakitori, karaage or onigiri here. Maybe not for really hungry people but definitely recommended as a snack! Here, too, you have to expect a waiting time on the weekend, but everything went well and the service was quick.

The food was super tasty. No matter whether tokoyaki, ramen or onigiri. The price is also completely reasonable. On Saturday afternoon, like everywhere in Düsseldorf, you have to wait a bit.

I was just there with a friend. We were standing right in front of the takeaway area. I'm sitting in a wheelchair. We were simply ignored. After 10 minutes we left. When we came back after a few minutes, we could see an Asian couple, probably Japanese, being served. One star is still too many for such “service”.

Very tasty takoyaki. However, part of the order arrived incorrectly and we had to wait a long time because it was "just" takoyaki

Super tasty authentic Japanese food. Ramen and takoyaki are great! Service was also great. I wasn't disappointed!

Delicious. Very friendly. Great quality. You save time by subsequently ordering via mobile phone. Everything is freshly prepared. Simply typically Japanese!

The food was far too salty and barely edible. Also, the waiter had difficulty understanding me. The drinks are overpriced and you are not allowed to bring your own drinks.

It's also a great place to stop by when you're feeling hungry. I was very satisfied with the delicious takoyaki and the kind staff! Plus, Tuesday was a service day where you could get 10 takoyaki for the price of 6, so I was lucky 😊

The food was very tasty, the service was super friendly and helpful. You feel comfortable here. Great atmosphere here, almost like in Japan. Aside from the food, the toilet was so clean. It's not even that clean in my house. Wow.

Good service and helpful staff. Great takoyaki and nice different ways of serving.

The Little Tokyo neighborhood is truly unforgettable, like this restaurant which offers the possibility of buying takeaway onighiri and handmade takoyaki. They have outside tables to quickly consume what you ordered. The packaging is also in Japanese style.

A crazy experience that you can have in Little Tokyo in Dusseldorf. The restaurant evokes Japanese style with service both on the street and at the table. The food is fabulous, handmade on the spot, served like in Japan, tasty and inviting like few others. The waitress was kind and friendly. They also speak English. An experience to try!

I ordered an onigiri for takeaway with teriyaki salmon. The onigiri was freshly prepared and was filled with delicious fillings. The salmon was fresh, well seasoned and the size of the onigiri was very generous. For 3.70 euros you can get a super fresh and healthy snack here. Fortunately, card payment is possible and overall the restaurant is a great asset when it comes to street food. I absolutely recommend it.

the food is amazing, authentic, tasty, especially the mentai mayo is so delicious! and the staff is super nice, i recommend!!

Takoyaki were absolutely raw and gave us stomach problems and a few trips to the toilet. We can't recommend it. I still think it’s positive that there are veggie options. Even though it was unfortunately a letdown for us that day.

Best I could say is that we planned to go the next day again! Karage is a must!

I had the kaarage with mayonaise and a homemade onigiri with Tina mayo. The food was very tasty and as expected, authentic Japanese street food. If you're looking for it, you'll definitely find it here. It took a while to prepare, but it wasn't too bad. Price-performance is great! Clear recommendation!

it tastes really good, can recommend the portions aren’t big, you need to order several dishes to feel full. However, the restaurant functions well as a takeaway. And pleasant staff:)

If you like takoyaki then you must eat here, it is absolutely amazing, the best I have ever had. The onigiri is also the nicest I have ever had. Delicious ramen too. The prices are a bargain, the staff are very friendly. A gem of a restaurant.

The service staff was exceptionally friendly, and the takoyaki was delicious with a reasonable price. The restaurant is cutely decorated, and you can even watch as the takoyaki is being made, which adds to the experience

Very tasty food and nice ambience as well as friendly staff

This was, SO GOOD! We got the Teppachi Ramen and it tasted great! They were also so helpful and kind, amazing service. I'm so glad we ate here.

Very innovative, and delicious. Also a great vegetarian selection.

Food was super delicious, also had veggie options, would go there every day if I could <3 And the onigiri were awesome

Very great restaurant, not as crowded as the shops next to it. The onigiri are particularly delicious; if you don't try them, you're really missing out. We were there with a baby and the staff was very friendly and took care of us.

Truly great, better than some of the takoyaki we had in Japan. Also very kind service!

Were in Düsseldorf for the first time today and discovered this restaurant. What can I say, it was absolutely great. The staff was very friendly and the food was absolutely amazing. I can only recommend

Best onigiri we've ever eaten in our lives The takoyakis are delicious too, special mention for the vegetarian version which has nothing to envy of the classic

Authentically decorated store. You can order via QR code. Food could be a little cheaper.

great food and very nice staff. The entire package is 10 out of 10

Where can you find better takoyaki than at Takoyaki Teppachi in Düsseldorf? Absolute 10/10!

Takoyaki in various variations. The nori fries were also delicious!

It was great! Nice, authentic employees who are happy to have a chat every now and then. And have recommendations for other good restaurants. And the eponymous takoyaki balls are to die for!

Authentic, delicious and, above all, freshly prepared with veggie alternatives - TOP

Super tasty takoyaki and karaage

Good shop for newbies who are just getting to know Japanese cuisine. Takoyaki are not for everyone because of the squid. There are also vegetarian options with edamame, which I think is really good! :) Most Japanese restaurants sell frozen takoyaki that are deep fried. These are fried in the typical takoyaki pan and therefore have a soft consistency. It's a matter of taste, what you prefer. In any case, I really enjoyed the takoyaki! The onigiri are freshly prepared so that the rice is still warm. You can't get your onigiri fresher anywhere in Düsseldorf. ☺️
