CHIBODotombori

Our cruise ship was docked in Kobe Port, tour guide took a bus load of us first to Osaka Castle and then to the Dotombori main shopping street and left us there for 1 1/2 hrs to do our own thing. We met two young ladies from Canada who knew the whereabouts and showed us to a typical Dotombori local ...' street ' style kitchen but indoors. We had to go up to the first floor, the whole place was full of 'locals' sat along a ' kitchen bar ' where the chefs cook in front/opposite you. We pointed at the two pictures on the menu, one was a mixed seafood dish and the other a Kobe Beef/Wagyu, both super delicious and went down well with four glasses of Japanese beer! Service was friendly even though they didn't understand a word of English! Short wait time for the two dishes. Good value for the food/experience.

Perfect location for tasting a great Okonomiyaki in Osaka! I don't awaiting much time for sitting but the restaurant was full of people and it's recommended have a reservation. The price is good for the location in the middle of Dotonbori and the staff was friendly.

I found Dotonburi to be a bit of a tourist trap with the quality food varying a bit. Chibo is a bit more expensive than the other okonomiyaki places I visited but the one I had was way more filling. It was fun watching them make it in front of you with a little bit of theatre added with the mayo squ...irting. The service was really nice. All in all I'd recommend although there are probably less touristy restaurants out there which do better okonomiyakis.
