Ah man this place is so good. I love that there's a local place for really delicious okonomiyaki. I tried the Hiroshima style option with an egg on top and it was heaven ? . I highly recommend trying this place out. Portions are great and you can probably even share one dish with a friend.

We had Okonomiyaki , takoyaki original, tsukemen (level 1 spicy), karaage, iced green tea. Family indicated good quality ingredients, the tsukemen (cold noodle )was refreshing especially since it was a hot day. It had a nice kick with a well rounded dipping broth and assortment of fresh vegetables. The establishment was nice, but during warm days like this need to have doors closed to provide proper cooling environment. Uncomfortable. As always, post wherever your palate takes you. $$.

First time having Okonomiyaki. Absolutely loved it! The atmosphere of the restaurant was great. Would highly recommend!

Amazing food and service! The waitresses were very nice and the food came out faster than expected. The food was also nice and hot, all newly cooked! Just be careful to not burn your tongue while eating! Sadly the hot stove top experience isn't something they do anymore since covid hit, but the place is still thriving! Surely recommend & would definitely come back!

Amazing place! Excellent takoyaki and okonomiyaki, and they have a bunch of different variations on it too. Fun to watch them cook! It's basically a noodle pancake with bacon or fish, would recommend

This restaurant is next the red towers! Can’t miss it. If you’re here to try it like I did, then come try it. But if you’re here to get full off of one/two items, it’s not the place. Don’t come hungry like I did because their portions aren’t that big and their price aren’t that cheap. We sat outdoors and I’m assuming that they allow the customers to make it on the grill if it wasn’t for Covid. They have different options but the flavors seems to be very similar to one another. Only difference is the meat. They have several takoyaki options as well.

This place offers some of the best of the famous Osaka street foods, Takoyaki (Octopus Balls) Okonomiyaki! Delish!!

Super tasty!!! And the food comes out so quickly!!! I definitely recommend the original okonomiyaki, its super flavorful and about 15 bucks. 10/10 eat here, you won't regret it!

Okonomiyaki was delicious. Tokoyaki was average and the sauce was what made it good. The teppan at the tables were out of service due to Covid. Would def be a fun experience to come with friends if we could make it ourselves

Found this gem in Little Tokyo for a casual dinner and found the staff and food were great! Worth a visit for okonomiyaki and takoyaki :)Our experience was unfortunately ruined when we were sprayed with detergent by one of the waitresses cleaning the table next to us. Without question, our food was replaced… however when we reached home, our clothes were all discoloured. Bleach based detergent? Definitely glad we didn’t brush it off and keep eating!Please be careful when cleaning your tables, and spray away from patrons still eating on nearby tables.
