“The best okonomiyaki”
The best okonomiyaki restaurant in Namba. So great we queued for dinner and then went back for lunch. Food is fresh and delicious. So yum. Lovely service and great to sit around the Teppan hot plate. Highly recommend

“Highly recommended”
Visited Sanpei in Hozenji, and it was fantastic. The okonomiyaki was perfectly cooked- crispy on the outside, fluffy inside, and loaded with flavor. The stuff was friendly and cozy, traditional vibe made the experience even better ! A must visit spot in Osaka!

“Lush!”
Definitely worth the wait, excellent okonomiyaki and great atmosphere. Waited about 30 minutes to get in and managed to get a bar table. Would recommend.

“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!
