We asked our hotel receptionist to make a reservation for us at this popular and smallish okonomiyaki restaurant. The menu had English translations and we selected a couple okonomiyaki pancakes to share as well as grilled eggplant, yakitori with shrimp, cucumber with miso dip, steamed mushrooms, an...d steak cubes. It is a loud boisterous place with only a few tables crowded together. It was fun to watch the open kitchen as they prepared the various dishes that were served onto the hot grill in the middle of our table as they were prepared. The okonomiyaki had shrimp and other sea foods and was of a thinner style and delicious. In particular the yakitori, cucumber dip and steamed mushrooms were tasty and excellent. Friendly staff and patrons!

We got the special okonomiyaki and it was enough for us both. Food is really good, I recommend trying the cucumbers with miso appetizer.

Found this place 3 years ago staying at Hide, few blocks up. Maybe because it was our first Kyoto Okonomiyaki, we loved the place, the friendly (and English speaking) team and their pleasant way of making great food. Even after several other places, it remains our favorite - and maybe the spaciest f...rom all. It is also somewhat out of Gion, so more at ease and silent. So well recommended!

This is Japanese diner food, and it is delicious. The waitresses were friendly and had great English (along with excellent English menus). Our order: tofu/veggie okonomiyaki vegetable sobayaki wrapped in egg grilled eggplant mango ice cream bites Everything was delicious and we tried to find vege...tarian okonomiyaki twice after that with no success. Great value, and fun to have the flat top on the table as well to keep the food warm.
