Best places: Okonomiyaki restaurants in Asuka, Japan

👍👍 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.

👍👍 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.

👍👍 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

👍👍 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...

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...

👍👍 A popular establishment but only ran by 2 service staffs. Kudos for ensuring that the Japanese hospitality was not compromised. The special okonomiyaki was highly recommended if you want to have an all-in-one experience of seafood, pork and double eggs. You could really taste the freshness of the in...

👍👍 Amazing little restaurant to have Okonomiyaki. The line could be a bit long but it's worth the wait. We were 3 and had all 5 proposed Oko. The quantity was right (a bit of excess). Price is very cheap.

Busy main outlet for small chain serving okonomiyaki pancakes made with market fresh meat & fish.

👍 a very local okonomiyaki shop in a rare lane. over 90% customers were local japanese there. but don't worry it's easy to order with the photos on the menu. we ordered the okonomiyaki with pork, then another one was the octopus and oyster which was the seasonal special. it came as raw and we gotta m...

Compact restaurant with counter seating specializing in made-to-order pancakes with savory fillings.

👍👍 This is the best okonomiyaki place I've been to so far. I don't know why this isn't very popular to the locals.

Negiyaki pancake specialty restaurant open since 1965 with an open kitchen & 46 seats.

Energetic eatery cooking up traditional okonomiyaki pancakes at the counter & on tabletop grills.

👍👍 The restaurant entrance is a little tucked away, but the inside is very spacious and comfortable. The food is mostly pre cooked before it is served, so there is little chance of mishap with the food. Service was amazing and the seating was spacious and comfortable.

Cosy diner tucked away in an alley serving traditional okonomiyaki pancakes over the bar.
