Very straightforward place. Wait in line outside, then wait in line inside, then place your order once you're at the front of the line, and sit down at one of 18 seats inside to have your meal. The set meal I had was the large roast katsu (950 yen), and it includes miso soup, a small salad, and a rather large serving of rice. Fresh katsu, regrettably a little gristly on the sides and could easily have been trimmed better. However overall taste was great. English menu is available upon request, most Japanese people inside just read the menu which is printed on the wall but only in Japanese.

Konaya Okonomiyaki has been cooking up the Shitamachi(old Tokyo)taste since 1993 We make everything by hand so it has homemade feel. Relax and please enjoy your meal.

Saw this place while exploring Yanaka Ginza, Nippori, Tokyo and decided to give their okonomiyaki a try, having already tried the dish in Kyoto and Hiroshima. Have to say it was one of the best we'd had.The staff were simply excellent - they had an English menu and were very tourist-friendly (unlike some other restaurants we'd been in who clearly didn't want to entertain foreign tourists...) - it's a great little restaurant that really makes you feel as if you're experiencing the real Japan. Try the sake - and, of course, the okonomiyaki: you won't regret it !

This place always has a line and youâll need to be prepared to wait but itâs worth it! Whilst the beef is served rare, you cook it over a stone grill to the level you desire. Even the small serve is reasonably big and you can moderate the amount of sauce etc that you want. If youâre in the area, definitely try this place but just expect to line up.

Stopped by after visiting the Pagoda of Senjosi around the corner. The lady who owns the restaurant is so friendly! She was telling us about her recent move back to Japan from New York. Great lunch proportions and drink menu. No waiting either!

We wanted an early dinner. Nothing too extensive. This was 300m from our hotel and had great reviews in TA. We turned up, queued for about 10 mins then sat at the bar with a beer each, a bowl of ramen each and chicken gyozas - the best weâve tasted yet. All done in about an hour for under 30â¬. Canât be beaten. Cash only. Fully recommend the great food and lovely chefs. Gracias por visitar nuestra tienda Gracias por su excelente evaluación y cumplidos. Esperamos verte de nuevo.

SometarÅ which is located in an unair-conditioned historic, vine-covered house and specializes in traditional Japanese dishes. There is only tatimi seating, and they only take cash. The menu is really quite varied, and offers a number of âsetsâ as well, though we were never able to quite figure out what the sets included. On the menu is Yakisoba, described as chow mein; Tepanyaki; and Okonomi-Yaki. In addition the menu had directions on how to cook Okonomi-Yaki, Shumai-ten, Anko-maki, Gomoku-Yaki and Osome-yaki. We ordered Okonomi-Yaki, the Gomokuten with steamed cuttlefish, steamed shrimp, egg, cabbage, minced meat (beef and pork, bits of fried batter left after cooking tempura (squid) Â¥870; and, Gyuuten with minced meat (beef & pork), cabbage, egg, sliced beef Â¥870. Our dishes were very good, and neither of us would have been able to eat more, but both of us would have liked to try some of the other dishes. The restaurant is relatively small, and there was a line at 11:45 AM (before the noon opening). Since each table cooks their own food, should one miss the first "seating," the wait for an available table could be an hour or so, but it is worth the wait.

The restaurant serves traditional kaiseki food. Although our menu was supposed to contain meat, we managed to get a fish-only option, which was absolutely amazing! I was also told they can prepare a fully vegetarian course if booked in advance.Beautiful location and very fine dining for a great experience.

Everything about the experience was excellent -- the food, the staff (who are also the performers) and the Japanese shamisen music! This is a short walk from Asakusa, where the Sensoki or Asakusa Kannon Temple is located. The restaurant is off the beaten track and so worth it!
