“Good Food, Worth a Visit.”
三平の料理がすごく美味しいだから、2022年12月25日と26日、２日続けて来ました。 私たち5名で、ドアの近く座って、いろんな鉄板焼きものとお好み焼きを食べていました。 美味しい料理で、水のおかわりでありがとうございました！ The food was so good that we went for 2 days straight! The five of us ordered different teppanyaki dishes and several okonomiyaki’s. Definitely worth a try!

“When in Osaka, you gotta have okonomiyaki and you gotta have it here!”
When in Osaka, you gotta have okonomiyaki, right? We decided on Houzenji Sampei after researching a few okonomiyaki shops. Of course, you can always get some as street food in Kuromon Market but you can't beat the places that specialize in it. Like Houzenji Sampei. With different combinations (or a... design-your-own option), you can try many different flavours and tastes. The best part though is that they make the pancake for you and bring it to your tabletop grill to season and dress, unlike other places that give you the premade batter to cook yourself. For a newbie at flipping pancakes, this was godsend. We ordered 3 different pancakes and a yaki-soba for 4 people, which left us all bursting at the seams. The yakisoba was bland (perhaps, because they don't specialize in it...) but all 3 of the okonomiyaki(s) were amazing, with crisp edges and tender insides. My favourite was the Shimei mushroom + scallop + cheese option. If you're ever in Osaka, I implore you to try a specialized okonomiyaki restaraunt. I highly recommend Houzenji Sampei be that restaurant!

“Nice Pancakes!!”
yummy and we went back twice. you can select your own toppings if you dont want those already in the menu. go early to avoid the dinner crowd. shop is small so dont bring big bags along

“Greatest pancake!”
It was delicious! We were looking for a place to try japanese packet and we are sure it was the best choice! Worth trying if you are in the Dotombori area, its not on plain sight but its really easy to get there!

“questionable”
They charged me 300 yen for canned tuna, more than they charge for pork. When confronted about the tuna, they didn't own up to it. I don't like feeling cheated, and Hozenji Sanpei definitely left me feeling cheated. You can do better than this tourist, questionable place. I know this seems like a sm...all thing, but the fact they wouldn't own up to their faults makes this feel like a deliberate little grift. We shouldn't encourage shady practices like this, however small, by letting them get away with it.
