Best places: Okonomiyaki restaurants in Asuka, Japan

Compact restaurant with griddle tables for cook-your-own pancakes with savory fillings.

👍👍 I loved this place so much! We didn’t mind waiting for a seat because we could have a drink and the atmosphere was really good. It was completely different to everywhere else we have eaten in Japan. We loved the choices available (especially for vegetarians/vegans), the cheap drinks (self service,...

Bustling eatery known for its traditional okonomiyaki pancakes made with meat, noodles & cabbage.

👍👍 It’s hard to capture in a review how wonderful and magical of an experience we had at Teppan Tavern. Hands down the best meal we had in Japan, and probably the most incredible all-around dining experience I’ve ever had! We had a reservation at 5pm and were warmly welcomed by the owners (a married co...

👍👍 We've been in Japan for two weeks now, one in Tokyo and the other in Sendai. This was our first night in Kyoto and after a day of Monkeys and Manga we walked past this place and decided to give it a try. I'm so very glad we did. Not only was the food delicious, the cook was incredibly friendl...

😐 Reasonable quality place but nowhere near as good as many restaurants we’ve eaten in Japan, so we were disappointed, particularly in light of all the great reviews. Possibly all customers when we were there were tourists which we think may explain the strangely high rating (4.6 currently - there’s j...

👍👍 Cosy eatery with helpful and polite owners! Make your own okonomiyaki and have a picture! Came straight after my visit to Kinkaku-ji (Golden pavilion)!

👍👍 We didn’t make a reservation but luckily they had a free table for two. The ‘mixed’ okonomiyaki was DELICIOUS and the yakisoba too. The chef (and probably the owner) was very friendly and kind, the food came in a very short time, which we really appreciated since we were very hungry. There is a nice...

👍👍 Lovely owner. Super helpful. Food tastes great. Definitely worth going there. Really enjoyed it. The owner was closing when we arrived she opened up again and served us food.

👍👍 This is a small and homely restaurant with a super passionate owner. The restaurant is run by the chef and his wife so we had to wait a while for the the food to arrive. However, that did not disappoint us at all because we were blown away by the food. I highly recommend the beef rump stake as well...

👍👍 The restaurant was run by one humble husband and wife. Thou the place was small and don’t look fancy, but the foods were really good + cheap. Must order the oyster and beers! Definitely will go back

😐 Very tasty and nice ambience. We stood in the front row and could see the chef prepare the dishes. We some him once cleaning his nose with his hand and then touching the noodles with the same hand. Not very hygienic…

👍 Staff was very friendly and could speak good English too. They offer an English menu which is very helpful for non-Japanese speakers. The food was very delicious as well and priced reasonably too. I can recommend this restaurant to everyone looking for a nice local dinner near the Kano River without...

👍👍 牡蛎が沢山のっていて中にも牡蛎が入っている牡蛎三昧というお好み焼きもすごく美味しかったです。牡蛎を全く一度も食べたことがないので牡蛎自体の味はわかりませんがお好みのソースの旨味が浸みているのが良かったです。以前注文して美味しかった伊国焼きですが今回はもやし抜きにしました。チーズも入っていて美味しく、...

👍👍 Our last dinner on this trip and decided to go to Kiji to have okonomiyaki and yakisoba since we skipped it the last time due to the queue. This time, we went early and managed to get a table before the crowd came. The friendly owner-chef spoke English very well and offered to start us off with 2...

👍👍 Day 1 of our Osaka trip, we came to Dotonbori looking for dinner. Decided to come to this shop at the small street rather than popular chains. Happy that we did. The staff was friendly and the ambience feels more authentic. The crowd was also mainly locals. We came on a Friday night at 5 plus. There...

👍👍 Very friendly staff. They speak English. The food is approx. 10-12$ US per person. Great place to try teppan yaki, okonomiyaki and topei.

👍👍 Wow! What an exciting and unconventional dining experience. Our first time eating Okinomiyaki and it was wonderful. A beautiful stop on the end of the philosopher’s path

Relaxed eatery featuring traditional okonomiyaki, savory Japanese pancakes fried at the table.

👍👍 Parco, let’s do it! It’s a flavorful okonomiyaki, perfect lunch or dinner. There are lots of options, the pork kimchi is so so good. Need to come back for more types! Gyoza is flavorful and crispy skin. It’s the jewel of Nara. Little cosy nook with plenty of seating too! No waiting time. Cola and c...
