    Fantastic Japanese food cooked on a giant skillet by the talented and friendly chef. It's known for excellent okonomiyaki but try the yaki soba which is superb. Wash it down with excellent umi sake.

    So delicious and not a million miles from Osaka or Okinomimura. The staff are just lovely & the prices extremely reasonable. Go for the tofu salad, aubergene, & mochi okinomiyaka. Yum!

    Very friendly chef and waiters and the food was amazing, the prawn and squid okonomiyaki was delicious and the beef teppanyaki was great too!

    Great little place - on a par with the stuff you can get in Osaka/Hiroshima, reasonably priced and really nice staff.

    Everything here is so delicious! Okonomyaki has too much egg for my taste. But all the food feels like Japan, nonetheless.

    Fantastic okonomiyaki. Sweet corn and the squid one are both very recommendable! Quite easy to have dinner or lunch paying less than 10£!

    Not exactly what I expected from a highly ranked food! Many irrelevant ingredients are mixed and also Ketchup on squid and prawn?! Really?!

    While good was okay, can't say the same about service which as lwas terrible. We had to ask for tap water 5(!!) times. Of course, they didn't forget to charge service fee
