Tomorrow, the very tasty Maru Global Takoyaki (255 S. 10th St.), which opened this past February, launches a new menu that you can check out in full after the jump. Owners Ryo Igarashi (above) and his wife, Nicole, are still doing all the varieties of takoyaki you've grown fond of (orders now consist of eight balls instead of six more balls!), but they've seriously expanded their entrée/non-takoyaki selection. You can now dig into plates like a roasted quarter chicken (leg and thigh) in Igarashi's housemade teriyaki sauce, chicken katsu and hand-cut curry fries, which you can order topped with anything from cotija cheese to pickled daikon. "They are seriously physically addictive," says Nicole.

Isn't Font envy something that Sigmond Fraud talked about?

I really love this place and I have dreams about their Japanese curry, it's so delish.  I'm excited to try the crabcake balls, too.  However, it kills me that they seemingly chose comic sans for the font for their new menu.  Comic sans?!?! nooooooooooooooooo!!!!!

One of the best places to eat near center city. Better than just another god damn slice of pizza. This guys is so real and he really cares about the food!  Eat Maru or die.
