Gaijin offers an exceptional dining experience with delicious okonomiyaki variations like the smoked fish Okasa and Osaka Style, with crunchy rice. The pickles are a must-try, and the yuzu black sesame kakigori is a favorite dessert choice. The staff, including bar manager Stella and Elayne, are knowledgeable and personable. Customers appreciate the quick service, with appetizers arriving promptly. The menu includes vegetarian and tofu options, and the staff is accommodating to dietary restrictions like gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan preferences. The extensive cocktail and sake menu, along with helpful servers like Eve, make for a delightful dining experience at Gaijin.
