Sensational okonomiyaki, yakisoba and grilled dishes! We were blown away by how delicious everything was and would love to come back again one day. The price was very reasonable for the great quality of food. You need to either arrive early or have a reservation as the chef and place gets busy quickly.

Thanks god for putting this place on our way. We had such an amazing and satisfying lunch after visiting the temples. We ordered the fried noodles with beef and vegetables and it was so juicy and flavorful. My friends travelers, this is sign that you are looking for. Stop looking for other options and enjoy your meal.

There’s a one man army making all dishes. I love the green onions. Great okonomiyaki that satisfies my crave for mayonnaise and sauce. Great yakisoba as well with crispy side on the grill.

Very delicious okonomiyaki restaurant. What a great restaurant for tourists to try the dish as you can just add sauce to your liking (the dish is already cooked when it arrives on your hot plate). Many vegetarian options which were very dilicious. Would also recommend the fried noodles.
