Best places: Okonomiyaki restaurants in Kyoto, Japan

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

👍👍 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)!

👍👍 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...

👍 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...

👍👍 Delicious okonomiyaki! Came here for the vegan options and it was so tasty. Separate vegan menu and English menu - just ask. We did have to wait about 30 minutes to get a seat but that didn’t bother us. The food was delicious but it’s maybe a little bit pricey compared to some other okonomiyaki rest...

👍👍 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

😐 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…

😠 There are still many seats in the restaurant, but waiter refuse to let us in. Many of the previous reviews claimed that the restaurant is very enthusiastic and willing to assist foreigners. But my personal experience today tells everyone that restaurants are unwilling to serve Taiwanese.

👍👍 Really good food! One of the best okonomiyaki. Great selection of food items.

😐 Food is good, but it's not a non-smoking place as written. People smoke in the corridor, which is right next to the tables. I had to run out of the place as soon as I finished my meal.

👍 Very tasty okonomiyaki! The beef was delicious and its massive.. The spinach one also tasted good but they should inform the customer that it has mayonnaise as not everyone likes mayo. That was the only downside otherwise its all very tasty. Our order took while to arrive. All in all good food.

👍👍 Great place to eat Okonomiyaki! It seems to be run by a family like business. I really enjoyed how they were kind and helped us to choose the right dishes. The Okonomiyaki were tasting great and the vibe was good. The dishes were not so big so i suggest to order more to be full. Overall really happy...

👍👍 Although I am vegetarian they were able to accomodate me. Very grateful and I enjoyed my meal.

👍 Very cool place! Delicious food for vegetarians. Be aware that this is a grill station. Your clothes will smell like it afterwards ;) Make a reservation, it's often fully booked.

👍👍 We was having a bit of a hard time finding the restaurant because it's quite a bit hidden on a crowded street, but you just need to look careful you will find it. The food is super delicious. We ordered what was highly recommended on the internet of this restaurant okonomiyaki and it was living up t...
