5 out of 5
what a unique culinary experience! stumbled upon this place while searching endlessly for a lively, but local joint to walk into. seems to be run by a family (a few sisters?). fun to watch them make the food on the main griddle and then pass it over to stay warm on your personal griddle. and Asahi on draft, baseball game on the little tv. perfection!

Delicous food and good prices. It's a small restaurant so be prepared to wait. Once you are seated, they are pretty quick at taking your order and delivering your food. It's cash only.

Delicious food in a traditional cozy atmosphere! We loved this place so much, we went there twice during our stay. We tried seafood okonomiyaki, vegetable-only okonomiyaki, and soba noodles. All were very delicious. All are prepared fresh with fresh ingredients, and served to a hot plate integrated in the table so that the food stays warm all the time. Vegetarian options were for us a plus. The staff is very welcoming, attentive, and friendly. They were so happy to see us the second time we showed up and greeted us with huge smiles. Thank you for an unforgettable experience.
