About Okonomi House Restaurant

Okonomi House Restaurant is a downtown spot that offers okonomiyaki, a beloved Japanese dish. The restaurant was bustling on a Tuesday and Thursday night, with customers even waiting outside for a table. The staff, who all seemed to speak Japanese, were friendly and attentive.

The menu includes seafood yakisoba and okonomiyaki with various protein options. The yakisoba was decent but slightly salty, accompanied by a side of rice which was unexpected. The miso soup was typical of Japanese restaurants. However, the okonomiyaki was a highlight, with crispy edges, a flavorful pancake, and a delicious sauce. The bonito flakes and mayo added great flavor.

The portions are on the smaller side, and there can be a long wait for a table on weeknights. Reservations are not accepted, and customers must physically line up for a table. The food can be a bit salty, but overall, the okonomiyaki is worth returning for. The ambiance is that of a cute Asian restaurant. The squid okonomiyaki and yakisoba were enjoyable, but not particularly special.
