Why Travelers Love Namba Okonomiyaki

Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.

4.3 / 5.0(3,621 reviews)

I arrived about 10–15 minutes before opening and there were already a few groups waiting in line. The staff took our orders even before the restaurant opened, which was really efficient. Once inside, we were seated right away and the staff cooked the okonomiyaki directly at the table — no need to do it yourself. It was served piping hot straight from the grill, and the flavor was amazing! Eating it fresh and sizzling made it even better. Definitely worth the wait and a must-try if you’re in the area. This place is fantastic. The food is incredibly delicious, the service is fast, and the whole experience is just great. Even if there’s a line when you arrive (and there probably will be), they move people through quickly and efficiently. The quality you get for the price is downright criminal. Definitely worth a visit, you won’t be disappointed. We had our first okonomiyaki experience in Osaka here! The queue was pretty long, but we were lucky to get in quickly, just a heads-up, it can take a while. The food was really good and reasonably priced. One thing that bothered me a bit was that the person at the front didn’t speak much English and came off a bit rude. But the staff member who served our food was really friendly, which made up for it. Overall, it was a great experience and definitely worth trying if you’re in Osaka!

The okonomiyaki was delicious, especially the scallops — fresh and flavorful. The onion beef tendon dish was a standout, very special and absolutely delicious. Personally, I found the yakisoba a little too sweet for my taste, but overall, every dish was well-prepared and tasted great.

Unfortunately a well known tourist attraction, therefore you’ve to expect long waiting times. Anyway the service was well organized so that they took your orders before you even got a table inside. The food was nevertheless amazingly delicious, freshly prepared right on your table. Try to avoid typical meal times to prevent too much waiting time.
