Best places: Okonomiyaki restaurants in Osaka, Japan

👍👍 I loved this place so much! We didn’t mind waiting for a seat because we could have a drink and the atmosphere was really good. It was completely different to everywhere else we have eaten in Japan. We loved the choices available (especially for vegetarians/vegans), the cheap drinks (self service,...

Bustling eatery known for its traditional okonomiyaki pancakes made with meat, noodles & cabbage.

👍👍 The restaurant was run by one humble husband and wife. Thou the place was small and don’t look fancy, but the foods were really good + cheap. Must order the oyster and beers! Definitely will go back

👍👍 Our last dinner on this trip and decided to go to Kiji to have okonomiyaki and yakisoba since we skipped it the last time due to the queue. This time, we went early and managed to get a table before the crowd came. The friendly owner-chef spoke English very well and offered to start us off with 2...

👍👍 Day 1 of our Osaka trip, we came to Dotonbori looking for dinner. Decided to come to this shop at the small street rather than popular chains. Happy that we did. The staff was friendly and the ambience feels more authentic. The crowd was also mainly locals. We came on a Friday night at 5 plus. There...

Relaxed eatery featuring traditional okonomiyaki, savory Japanese pancakes fried at the table.

👍👍 Amazing little restaurant to have Okonomiyaki. The line could be a bit long but it's worth the wait. We were 3 and had all 5 proposed Oko. The quantity was right (a bit of excess). Price is very cheap.

Busy main outlet for small chain serving okonomiyaki pancakes made with market fresh meat & fish.

👍 a very local okonomiyaki shop in a rare lane. over 90% customers were local japanese there. but don't worry it's easy to order with the photos on the menu. we ordered the okonomiyaki with pork, then another one was the octopus and oyster which was the seasonal special. it came as raw and we gotta m...

Compact restaurant with counter seating specializing in made-to-order pancakes with savory fillings.

👍👍 This is the best okonomiyaki place I've been to so far. I don't know why this isn't very popular to the locals.

👍👍 Nice restaurant with a complete separate section for “Halal Food”. Non-Halal Section is at ground floor, but when we stepped in, they took us to the 7th floor Halal Section, less crowded and prayer room (not big prayer room, enough for 2 people at a time). Food is nice, not vary in selection, mainly...

👍👍 An amazing restaurant that I keep coming back to every time I visit Osaka. The food is delicious and very unique tasting, and the atmosphere of the vibe is great. A decent meal for two including dessert and two rounds of drinks cost around ¥7000.

👍 It’s hidden from the main street though, you can expect fine Okonomi-yaki here. If you wish to have table seats, better making a reservation in advance. Delivery is available.

👍👍 Claim your place on the street corner and watch the pigeons and pedestrians pass for a while. 140 yen grilled cabbage, all day long.
