" I was looking forward to visiting Okini Mid based on the reviews, but I left somewhat unsatisfied. The food was okay, but I've had much better takoyaki elsewhere. The atmosphere was charming but got a bit cramped when busy. The service staff was courteous but seemed overwhelmed with the volume of customers. It's a decent spot if you're craving Japanese street food, but just don't have lofty expectations. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations for Okini Mid based on the hype, but my experience varied. The takoyaki was good but didn't wow me. The flavors were decent, yet I have had better elsewhere. The service was cordial, but they seemed a bit hurried. The small atmosphere contributed to a cozy vibe but also felt too cramped at times. Perhaps I'll give it another shot in the future to see if it changes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Okini Mid has become my go-to place for delicious takoyaki. The authenticity of the flavors transports you right to the streets of Japan. It's a small joint, which adds to its charm, though I wish they had better climate control as it can get quite warm inside. Their staff is polite and swift, but during busy hours, expect some delays. Overall, a must-try spot for any food lover! " (*Curated Review*)

" Okini Mid has quickly become one of my favorites for street food in Merida! The decor truly reflects a Japanese vibe, and the takoyaki is a must-try. The ingredients felt fresh and well-prepared. Service was friendly and they managed to keep things efficient, even when busy. It’s definitely a small space, but it’s inviting and worth the wait. I’ll be back for sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" When I first visited Okini Mid, it was almost overwhelming due to the crowd, but once I got my food, it was all worth it! The takoyaki was truly delicious, with a nice crisp and rich filling. The servers were friendly but definitely on a tight schedule during rush hours. The atmosphere is intimate and warm - it's the perfect little niche to enjoy authentic Japanese cuisine. Highly recommend if you have the patience for a wait. " (*Curated Review*)

" Okini Mid offers a unique experience with its street food ambiance! I was really impressed by the quality of their takoyaki. They use a variety of fresh fillings and the flavors were delicious! The only downside is that the restaurant is pretty small, so be prepared to wait. Staff were friendly but seemed rushed. If you’re a fan of Japanese cuisine, this place is a must-visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have to say that Okini Mid amazed me with their approach to Japanese street food. I went there knowing I would be trying genuine takoyaki and I was not disappointed at all! It was so fresh and flavorful, and their dipping sauces complement everything perfectly. The staff were friendly too! Just be aware it's a tiny spot, so the wait could be long during peak hours. I will defintely visit again! " (*Curated Review*)
