  • This place was okay. I had been to Kiji the week before, so compared to that, it's only average okonomiyaki. However, it is a nice change from Tokyo okonomiyaki and gives you a feeling of what okonomiyaki is supposed to taste like--Kansai style. I got the cheese okonomiyaki (which was surprisingly quite good), and the beef and green onion okonomiyaki (which was okay, but had a weird texture). It's a nice enough place, but I doubt I'll go back again.

  • This is perhaps the best okonomiyaki place I've been to, strictly food wise. The selection wasn~t that large, but they had okonomiyaki, yakisoba, and salads. I was looking for monja, I didn~t see it on the menu but it is possible that~it was there and I wasnt able to read it. We had the beef and green onion okonomikyaki, which was very good and bursting with green onions. We also got the cheese and tofu okonomikyaki which was absolutely delicious and contained 5 different cheeses. As always, I would recommend eating okonomiyaki with the standard sauce, mayonnaise and fish flakes, however gross that might sound.

  • Yukari is a branch of a popular Osaka okonomiyaki restaurant, and would be a good spot to recharge batteries while walking around Akihabara for electronics or anime. It is located on the third floor of the UDX building, and you can get a slice of Kansai right next to the station.

    We ordered three different kinds of dishes to sample out the menu. We started with a suji-negi-yaki (beef and spring onion okonomiyaki; 1200 yen) that was cooked before us on the hot plate. The waiter will bring the batter, mix it and fry it in front of you. The okonomiyaki was tasty and totally soaked in sauce, which is the way I like it.

    The second dish was another classic of an okonomiyaki restaurant-yakisoba (stir fried buckwheat noodles; 800 yen). They were tasty too, and the pickled ginger added a great zing. Finally, we had Tonpei (1100 yen), which is pork coated in okonomiyaki batter served with sauce and mayonnaise. This is almost like a tonkatsu but in okonomiyaki version, and a tasty change of pace from the usual cabbage pancake you'd get here.

    Yukari delivers a tasty okonomiyaki experience, but, if you have the time, I'd much rather recommend to head to Tokyo station to Kiji's where you can try one of the best okonomiyakis in Japan for about the same price.
