The short answer

YAMATAKO is a Japanese restaurant in Cairo with an anime‑themed vibe. It’s praised for authentic Japanese flavors, a real Japanese chef and especially its Takoyaki (rated 10/10). With a 4.9/5 rating from 500 Talabat reviews and dishes ranging from EGP 30 to EGP 480, it’s considered a good spot.

Try the Takoyaki (around the typical EGP 250 price point), the Ramen Chicken (EGP 320) or the Katsudo (EGP 400) for a fuller meal.

Great for friends, dates, anime fans or a casual dinner, and it delivers to New Cairo, Zamalek, Mohandessin, Dokki and Downtown Cairo.

Is it worth it?

A hidden Zamalek Japanese gem with real chef cred and anime vibes.
