Customer Reviews
Arrived a little before peak dinner time, and the line was not too long. We ordered okinomiyaki and yakisoba, both were incredible. We had counter seats right in front of the cooktop where we watched the chef prepare our food. It seems like such simple comfort food, but it was a flavor bomb. We especially loved the super smokey bonito flakes. Would definitely return! By the time we left, the line was much longer and we had arrived when we did.
Established since 1965 and included in Michelin guide- it doesn't disappoint at all 😋😋😋 yummy and just hard to describe why it is so good maybe it is the eclectic mix of seasoning plus mustard! Gave a 4stars cos the meat could be a tad more, everything else(ambience, environment,service) are basic and clean.

The only downside is the wait to get in, we waited for 1.5 hours and I have never done that before. The meals were fantastic, service prompt and price was amazingly reasonable. Order the okonomiyaki dishes and you’ll be amazed how this restaurant is so different from other places that sells okonomiyaki.
