I didn't make a reservation, but I was able to get in without waiting.
At first glance, the store only has a counter, but there was a tatami room at the back of the store, which was nice and spacious.
Teppanyaki dishes such as okonomiyaki take a long time to arrive, so we recommend ordering them early.

The owner and staff are friendly and it's a comfortable place.
The food is very delicious, starting with okonomiyaki and focusing on teppanyaki.
It has the advantage of not being a chain store, and I personally recommend it!
