Hate to be the one who breaks from the group on this place, but we went based on Trip Advisor reviews and what I read in those reviews didn’t equal our experience. To be completely honest, this place seems very trendy, I’m not a fan of trendy. Seemed very popular w the under 30 crowd, and except for one group all local couples. I highly suggest you make a reservation. We arrived at 6:30 and were told to come back at 8:00. We walked the neighborhood, which is a bit outside the tourist area so not a lot of places to grab a drink. When we arrived back at 8, we did have two seats at their counter waiting for us. The place is small and was full this evening. In the first level, sits about 10 at the counter another 5 or so at another make-shift eating area next to counter. Never made it to the upstairs. Ordered two glasses of wine, two of their specials-one sashimi tuna, one raw oysters. Forty minutes later we still were waiting for the sashimi-I mean their raw, how long does it take? The oysters were fine as was the wine. While waiting, we ordered two more small plates but just got tired of waiting and decided to leave. We did get an English menu but no one really talked to us, no one really assisted us and everyone around us kept getting food while we waited-it was a very strange experience, not indicative of our time in Japan. The prior reviews mentioned such a “warm welcome” and “such helpfulness” but we didn’t experience anything resembling those reviews? Maybe on a slower night, they have more time available to assist the English-only tourists. To be fair, they did get us two seats but we felt like an inconvenience. With so many great reviews, maybe we just had a rare bad experience. However, it was bad enough for us not to try again. Went w three stars because anything lower I reserve for rude behavior or horrible food. We received neither.

We chose here because the okonomiyaki lovers among us could have one (or more) of the delicious varieties available, whilst the meat eaters could have a plate of meat teppanyaki - and we could all share a yakisoba, yakionigiri, edamame, salad....okay, we ate heaps. And the bill came to just over ¥10k for four of us! Really loved it. Small place so if you are a larger person may ask for a seat with space... am sure they’ll oblige!

We came because of the good reviews on TripAdvisor. I really don't understand how exactly they got such a high score. We ordered two different lunch sets. The food was not good, the main taste was of frying oil. kinda gives you a Mcnuggets vibe (but not as tasty). Came out really disappointed and with a bad reflux.

Tucked in a street corner with indoor cobblestones surrounding the booth, this little restaurant brings a homey feel to the food they create. I had a classic okonomiyaki and a grapefriut sour, and they were deliscious! They say they've been around for 42 years, and this little shop deserves the recognition. Hightly reccomend whe you're in the area. They're okonomiyaki was such a comfort food in this rainy June weather.

The area is littered with friendly homeless people - Japanese culture means that they are not the nasty types you might get in the west. The restaurant is intimate & our chef / owner is a pleasure to have a chat with. He grew up in the area & while university educated he has a strong association with the locals. Good food - probably not in Michelin class but very tasty. Enjoy the chat, have a beer or any of the spirits available & get a real understanding of the area. It's good to get an understanding of life away from fancy hotels & restaurants.Thank you very much!!!I will keep on doing what I always wanted to do!!Look forward to seeing you again!!!

We arrived here just before opening time at 5 pm and within 10 minutes every seat was full with a queue of people waiting outside. We ordered two okonomiyaki - one with beef and shrimps and the other with oysters. They were divine! We‘ll be back in two weeks time on our trip through Japan.

A nice cosy atmosphere to bring your partner on a date. The sukiyaki beef and pork set is reasonably priced with quality meats. They even gave us an English instruction manual on how to prepare the sukiyaki which I thought was quite thoughtful. Overall a great experience. 100% will return again when I’m in Osaka.
