Best places: Okonomiyaki restaurants in Otsu, Japan

👍👍 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...

😐 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...

👍👍 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

😐 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...

👍👍 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...

👍👍 Small place with various types of modanyaki. English manu is available. The owner is really kind and friendly.

👍👍 Had an amazing time at Fresh Market for my birthday dinner. The main chef Yas was very welcoming, funny, and a pleasure to hang out with. The food was excellent and curated to our tastes and it felt like a personalized experience. Must visit if you are in Kyoto. Salad was great, omelette was great,...

👍 I'd recommend the private room if available. The food is ok and you can finish the plate directly on the table. The service is very kind.

👍👍 The restaurant was full on a Sunday night with only locals and regulars. Everyone seemed to know each other. But we were made to feel welcome by the staff and other patrons. No English menus but we were able to get by with Google Translate and everyone making an effort to understand us. Sports on th...

👍👍 Okonomiyaki and the service was very good. Menu and service in eglish, but my poor japanese delighted the waitress.

👍👍 I was allowed to stay chatting for 7 hours with a smile. BGM is the best ◎

🫤 To put it bluntly, there wasn't a single delicious menu item. The sauce for the cabbage snack was also not good. Hoso (meat) is also bad. The sauce on the okonomiyaki didn't suit my taste, and the seasoning on the yakisoba was lacking. However, I find it strange that there are always so many custome...

👍👍 It was very delicious We ate Hiroshima-yaki and okonomiyaki, as well as tonpei and clams stir-fried in butter (the clams in the photo are half-eaten). Since the portions are quite large, the restaurant was busy with families and groups of young people. There are many types of alcohol, so we recommen...
