The savoury okonomiyaki and takoyaki are really delicious, and the staff is really friendly and knowledgeable regarding the selections and pairings of the food. The price is also very reasonable so I would love to take my friends here again if I have the chance.

Other than the long wait, the food and service was awesome. We got an okonomiyaki which was delicious and a takoyaki which was a nice addition. A good amount of food for 2 that left us satisfied. The waiters and waitresses checked up constantly to make sure everything was good 👍. Overall, just a wonderful experience once you're seated.

Stopped by around 630pm on a Friday was able to grab a table for 2 straight away. Tried the crispy style Okonomiyaki, was a nice change of texture. Would recommend stopping by if you're in the area. The takoyaki were freshly made and so tasty. The bucket of beer was also a refreshing way to end the week.

Okonomiyaki were pretty good. The ones with regular noodles were fine but a bit closer to wok style, so maybe next time I’d try the crispy option. Both the ones with onion and mayo as well as the ones with octopus were good. The place had a waiting line though, and it did not work well for non-US phone numbers

Absolutely fantastic place to eat some okonomiyaki and spicy cold soba! I had the, I believe it was called, the Aki Aki okonomiyaki with no pork and my wife had the spicy cold soba (Level 3). The flavor was outstanding, and the sauce truly pulled it all together. I even nabbed some of my wife's food, and while it was spicy, the flavor was stunning and smokey. If I hadn't known better, it almost felt like I was back in Japan! Would recommend!
