    The okonomiyaki is a thing of wonder. A savory pancake whose name translates, roughly, to "what you want, fried" which already sounds pretty amazing. If you've never had it before, try their presets. Read more

    Gottsui balls were very crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Well done. Gottsui Okonomiyaki and kobe beef yakisoba were both delicious. Edamame is nicely garlicy. Will pass on gyoza next time

    As close to the Platonic ideal of the Osaka okonomiyaki as you could hope for -- a regional variation where garnishes are mixed into the batter and griddled crisp like an overstuffed latke. Read more

    Food takes a bit but its worth the wait. Get an appetizer to start. I recommend the cucumbers or edamame! And you cant go wrong with the spicy kobe and a sapporo to wash it down!

    Good food, really hits the spot. If you're into beer, try the wasabi ale, it's awesome (pretty overpriced for a bottle though)

    Mushroom noodles were amazing! They are spicy, beware! The man had the kobe beef okonomiyaki and LOVED it. We'll be back soon for more

    Try the beef & onion okonomiyaki with garlic chip. Service is usually slow so factor in some cooking time

    Of course wait for the Osaka style okonomiyaki! The edamame appetizer is hand toasted with black pepper.

    Takes at least 20 minutes for an okonomiyaki, and up to 40 when they are busy so get an appetizer
