Okonomimura
Best time to visit
Late lunch or early evening on weekdays avoids peak dinner queues and shortens waits. Winter evenings add a cozy atmosphere with steam and sizzling aromas.
Budget tips
No entry fee, expect 700-1,400 JPY per okonomiyaki; pay mostly in cash though some stalls accept cards, and sharing portions or choosing basic toppings saves money.

About
Rychlá fakta: A compact building hides more than 25 tiny stall-run kitchens stacked across a few floors, each serving its own take on a layered savory pancake. Hot iron griddles clatter with cabbage, noodles, batter, and pork, while the air fills with sweet-salty sauce and mayo as chefs flip orders one after another.
Hlavní zajímavosti: One counter routinely layers up to five pancakes in a single order, each flip spraying steam, sesame aroma, and a smoky char into the room. Regulars jot favorite combos on a communal chalkboard, listing double-sauce, mayo swirl, and extra noodles, and you can point to a scrawled name like 'Mom's Special' to get the chef's signature plate.
Insider tips
- Wear a layer or bring a light cover, hot splatter from the teppan can stain clothes.
- Ask staff before taking close-up photos of chefs grilling, generally allowed but polite to check.
- Head upstairs to quieter stalls during peak times, ground floor is usually the busiest.
- Order one okonomiyaki per 1-2 people and share, or pick half portions where offered to sample multiple stalls.
