Okonomiyaki

Hello, I'll be in Osaka for 3 days next week.
Can you tell me about, Your Favorite Okonomiyaki Ya!
I like the ones where I can cook it myself at the table.
Any suggestions? Names & or address would be great.

In this you cannot cook yourself, but I was in Osaka last week and entered "Okono domus" in the famous Dotonbori. It is almost hidden and in the basement (you enter from the street); and mine was delicious :D

Normally a waiter/waitress makes Okonomiyaki for you, but you might be able to make your own. Here is a link:

This places is one of the most famous and best in Osaka.

Thanks for the Info. Guys/Gals.
I guess I'm lucky. Most of the time I find a place that allows me to cook it myself. It's just fun to do.

Does anyone else have any okonomiyaki info. in Osaka?

Hi Yukari,

Can you tell me how to get to the place that you've mentioned in Osaka? Thank you

I'm sorry but the previous post should be addressed to IS instead of Yukari. Didn't realise earlier that Yukari is the restaurant name.

Why all the fuss? I've had a few tries at Okonomiyaki and all they seem to get right is that it's okonomi and yucki. This includes supposedly Hiroshima's finest too. Yes it's fun to paddle about with food on a hot counter, but I can't see much else to recommend it.

I've had my wifes homemade okonomiyaki, Osaka style in Osaka and in a restaurant in Hiroshima. It has all been good. However, by far, the okonomiyaki I had in Hiroshima was the best. It was simply fantastic.

would you like to go have lunch/dinner with me?

okonomiyaki & biiru oishii

I love Okonomiyaki made by Fugetsu. Shops are in Osaka.

My favorite Okonomiyakiya is Fugetu and Boteju.
They are delicious.

For anyone interested in a good Okonomiyaki restaurant in Osaka, my friend and I had a very good meal at a small place down by JR Fukushima station. If you get out from the station and walk down the multi-colored road past the Mister Donut's on your right, you'll eventually find the place on your right, just before the 7-11 at the end of the road. Run by a nice older couple, very friendly and very affordable.

I like Okonomiyaki with cheese and mochi.
If you go to USJ, I recommend you the shop in front of USJ.

The best Okonomiyaki that I have ever had was in Matsuyama. It was in one of the department store floors with quite a few eateries. Located above the main Iyotetsu railway station ( Matsuyamashi ) opposite the New Grand Hotel where one of the tram lines terminate. And it was far from "yukki". For Yucky my vote goes to an establishment in Hiroshima where the cook was sweating so profusely it was dripping in to the food.

The best okonomiyaki I had was in Kintetsu Department store (9th floor) opposite Tennoji Station. I think the restaurant's name is Okonomi Yukari or something like that.

The best is in Tenjimbashi Suji Shotengai near Ogimachi across from KFC.

we had an amazing time at one in the umeda area (our Japanese speaking cousin asked the concierge at the New hankyu hotel) if you go out the hotel door away from the station end and down the alley it is 2 floors up narrow stairs on your right : the entrance to the stairs is actually marked with an Italian flag: it was really inexpensive too
