福太郎 本店

We came here on the recommendation of our walking tour guide, he mentioned that the place was very popular among the locals and we could soon see why. There are usually line ups outside the restaurant, but we waited for about 5 minutes before they called us in. This was just great since we were tir...ed and hungry from our long walk. We had the omelet soba, shrimp and beef okonomiyaki with local wine and ice tea. Service was quick and food was delicious, and not very expensive. Great value for money!!

oh man I love this place. so much that I ate here twice during my short stay in Osaka! it's Okonomiyaki style, which is a savory pancake dish cooked on an open flat griddle. There are plenty of choices (e.g., pork, seafood, veggie, kimchi, etc.). A fantastic value too, with one pancake, which is ver...y filling, and a beer costing about USD15 (December 2023). The whole area is filled with lots of little food stalls and shops offering similar value. Can't wait to go back!

I advise you not to visit this store if you don't want to waste your money and time. The reason is as follows. Since this store is famous here in Osaka, my buddy and I tried their food for the first time on Sept. 10. We waited in line for about 15 min. While waiting in line, we found out tha...t we had to write down our name on the waiting list if we wanted to dine in. The waiting list was inside the store and there was no announcement outside of the store. One staff who was in charge of calling customers into the store was so unkind, so insolent and so arrogant that this made our feeling really bad. Anyway, we got inside and ordered 2 beer, 2 types of okonomiyaki and yakisoba. Yakisoba was alright but definitely an average quality yakisoba you can get anywhere in Japan. Because they have a pretty good reputation according to google and other websites, and being such a famous store in Osaka, we did have a bit of expectation. However, their okonomiyaki was the worst okonomiyaki I've ever had in my whole life. It was gluey and the most greasy okonomiyaki. Frankly speaking, I felt like I dumped my money in a gutter. I will never go to this store again but those of you who would like to give it a try, go ahead. I'm 100％ sure you'll regret it. As a local Osaka resident, it looked like they don't care if you will never come back since it was obvious that they just need tourists and a one shot customer not a regular. I hope my evaluation will be helpful to those of you who are wondering whether this store is worth visiting or not.

Amazing fresh food served. Staff are friendly and very helpful. The menu’s at the time unfortunately were only available in Japanese but the staff were kind enough to take me through in English. Would visit again!

Amazing food and such a gem of a restaurant. Waited outside for a while but it was worth it. Wagu was delicious and for £20 each we had an amazing meal 6/5
