Asakusamonja Kanoya

We went with our Japanese friends while we were visiting Asakusa. The restaurant itself was really busy. We waited almost 40 minutes to get a bigger table. It’s a kind of bbq restaurant. We order a lot of different dishes for a try. All of them were very delicious. I certainly loved the seafood with... cabbages which the waiter would do the cooking performance in front of you. Kind of is very interesting. We really enjoyed the whole atmosphere and dishes. Highly recommend to anyone who would like to try authentic Japanese style bbq.

Family of 5 including 2 small children randomly went into this restaurant and had a fantastic experience. We ordered monjuyaki and okonomiyaki, plus some extra things on the side. Had them cooked for us and tasted amazing. Perhaps a bit on the small side, and not exactly cheap, the atmosphere and se...rvice made up for it. Terrific fun

Kind of randomly walked into this place while wandering Asakusa. We hadn't tried any okonomiyaki yet and saw it listed here and gave it a try ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Ended up being the best we had on the trip and one of our best meals overall. The turnaround for a table was a little slow the day we went but sti...ll highly recommeneded. The only negative for me was that everyone had to order one item, where the okonomiyaki was big enough to share so we ended up with way more food than necessary.

We were walking through the area and looking for local places to eat. Okonomiyaki was on our list of things to try in Japan and this place was packed with locals so we decided to stop off, despite seeing there would be a short wait. A little bit more of a language issue than other restaurants that... we ate at but they did have an English menu and were able to accommodate us well enough. We knew we may run into that venturing a little farther out from the tourist establishments. The Okonomiyaki was amazing and definitely one of the best meals of our trip. This place is worth hunting for. Expect huge portions.

This was very much a different eating experience for us and we loved it. The food was really tasty and cooked on the griddle in the middle of the table. The staff there have very limited English but were as helpful as they possibly could be. We gave one girl a really good laugh with our attempt at f...lipping the cabbage omelette. A narrowly averted disaster. They have a waiting list at the door so you need to put your name down. There is also a notice in Japanese and English that there is a minimum order of one main dish each or there will be a cover charge applied. The guy also brought the same notice to our table. It’s fair enough as they are so busy and don’t want to lose tables to people who are only there for a snack. You would have to be pretty stupid to miss this to be honest and the best advice is to go there hungry. You will get a good value meal cooked in front of your eyes. Not the cheapest meal you can get in Tokyo, but good value.
