Why Travelers Love Hassei
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Definitely eat here if you want outstanding local food in Hiroshima! This place is within walking distance of the Hilton Hiroshima and also has gluten free options which is quite rare for Japanese restaurants. Everything came out super fast and was quite tasty! The food was amazing! And the whole atmosphere is a great experience! Highly recommending - it was one of our highlights in Japan :) They also have very easily marked vegetarian and gluten free options that can be individualized. Outstanding okonomiyaki, so good I went back again. Tourists are made to feel welcome. With our smattering of Japanese combined with the staffs English, it was a great place to eat. Also has options for no meat.

I went for their gluten free okonomiyaki yesterday and it was DELICIOUS. They even had gluten free sauce and mayonnaise for me. My favorite part was the service: they fit us in before a reservation, made sure I knew which sauces I could have, and offered to take a photo of my boyfriend and I without asking. Cool vibe, excellent food, a must if you’re visiting Hiroshima.

We are vegetarian and were recommended to try Hiroshima okonomiyaki. We searched this up and walked in. We didn't have a reservation but they were so friendly and let us sit at the grill which was fun to see them making it. The place is full of banter, people chatting and having a great time! We had a wonderful time and the portion is big so if you don't have a big appetite then you might want to split it. They have clearly labelled vegetarian stuff. One important note is that if you're a strict vegetarian and don't like your food grilled on the same space as fish and meat then you might want to skip this place
