Customer Reviews
Don’t waste your time. Huge queue/line, all tourists and no locals, and too expensive. You can get okonomiyaki almost anywhere and be happy with it. The wait is just not worth it here.
This Okonomiyaki shop is famous among tourists, and while the queue is long, it's worth the wait. The experience was great—the Okonomiyaki is delicious, and the service is excellent. The staff can communicate in English and provide very good service to foreigners.
Wonderful Osaka food in great environment. The head chef was very friendly and helped us with food choice (okonomiyaki). He seemed sincere in his welcome and wanting us to enjoy his food (we did). It was in a small restaurant and we had a slight wait, but, it was well worth it.
Was a bit hesitant at first but the food is incredible and the folks who work there friendly and helpful! Am a picky eater but the noodles and pancakes were excellent Small place get there early as queues grow Would go back as it’s easy to eat there after a trip to the Sky
