Harajuku Okonomiyaki Yai-yai Review Summary

We were lucky that there was no wait when we arrived for lunch. We were seated at the grill counter and enjoyed watching our food being made with great care by the wonderful chef. It was also our first time having mustard on okonomiyaki!

The team spoke basic English which was really appreciated.

Sizable menu with a few different takes on okonomyaki and customizable routes to take. Really good flavors and quick service!

For foreigners, they have a full English menu and the staff speaks English as well which is very helpful. The menu is descriptive and easy to understand.

Amazing food located in an alley. Beautiful ambience and great service. Our server is able to communicate in basic English, so definitely a plus point. He is very attentive too! We ordered 2 dishes to try, portion is rather huge, great for sharing. I loved the tonpei and modanyaki here. There is the shin ramen modanyaki, so tasty and creative!! The food is as good as it looks 👍

On our final day in Tokyo, we chose to explore the Harajuku neighborhood. Taking our local guide’s advice, we savored Okonomiyaki, a time-honored Japanese omelet filled with Wagyu, seafood, or other meat, and can be prepared on top of your preferred noodle. Bonito flakes and green onion were added as garnishes, creating a delectable dish and an unforgettable experience. A must try meal in Tokyo!!

Stumbled across this restaurant in a small alley. The wait was at least 30 mins. You could walk around and come back while you’re in the queue. Cute little restaurant that is a bit crammed inside. They are popular for their Okonomiyaki. Tasty Japanese pancakes I’ve ever had. You won’t regret trying! They pan fry in front of you. The portion is pretty big so it’s a good amount to share. If you’re looking for something different to try, this place is recommended!
