One of the highlights for us. After a disappointing Okonomiyaki experience in Hakuba, we gave this place a go and it was amazing.
Easy to find with the online map and the help of photos of the entrance and house facade.
Short waiting time until we were seated in the back of the restaurant. Seating is on the floor (you take your shoes off at the entrance)
There is an English menu available and the staff spoke some basic English.
The pancake ingredients are brought to the table for you to mix and cook.
The flavours were amazing, our favourites were the beef and the kimchi Okonomiyaki.
Prices are very reasonable and the overall experience was fantastic.

We read of this in a “48 hours in Tokyo” article - it was included as part of a Asakusa day. The place is tiny - cash only. The “cook your own pancake on a red hot table top griddle” is awesome! (Altho the sitting on the floor challenged my back a bit!). One pancake and 2 beers will feed 2 moderately hungry people. 2 for 3 is more than enough food. Should not be missed!

This was my most authentic dining experience while in Tokyo. I had lunch here and I enjoyed the experience very much.
You put your shoes in plastic bags provided at the entrance so when you're in the restaurant everyone is barefoot. I was seated in the back and an English menu was provided and instructions on how to cook the meal. I ordered the pork and I cooked my meal with the sauces provided and I enjoyed the entire meal and process. The meal was decent and something I have not experienced before and I would absolutely do it again.

I was so excited to try okonomiyaki in Japan and this place did not disappoint! We went about an hour before they close in the afternoon and had a little bit of a wait. It's a very traditional space, so shoes off and sit on the floor. You order your dish and they bring you the batter so you can cook it yourself - the table is a stove. They did provide written instructions in English and it's pretty easy, and delicious! They have signs up asking that you don't take photos, which is a bummer but understandable. This was a fun and delicious meal!

I happened to find this place when I was looking for a Okonomi-yaki restaurant around Ueno/Asakusa area on the internet.
I'm a Japanese but I rarely go that area for food.
It seems very popular so I wanted to take my friend visiting Japan.
Long story short, this will be the first time and the last time to go there.
I have never had Okonomi-yaki that small and tasteless.
Very stingy.
Atmosphere is really good though.
Shame.

Spectacular, interactive eating at its best and soooo tasty. Authentic, traditional, mouth watering meals. Tepanyaki sides available (stunning Japanese mushrooms). Loads of Okonomiyaki meal choices. The one with kimchi was a hit. Took 4 kids, 4 adults and everyone was happy as. So glad I found this on TA before going. Staff super helpful.

This is a gem in the centre of one of the most interesting areas in Tokyo. After a full day of sight seeing and absorbing the ambiance, this is a great spot to grab dinner before going for a drink.
Every dish is cook-it-yourself. We have only tried the okonomiyaki and it was delicious. We even got instructions on how to make it in English which was great.
Highly recommended

A little hard to find as the outside was all in Japanese but decided that it must be the place with heaps of locals entering. Had the best time at the place and really enjoyed the whole experience. The meal was really delicious and reasonably priced. Can not rate this place high enough. Would definitely recommend and wish we had more time to return.

All the reviews say it all. Brilliant place, lovely atmosphere, great, cook it yourself, pancakes, inexpensive. Only problem for us was (as over 70 years old and European) sitting on the floor.

The setting is lovely and the experience of taking your shoes off and cooking your own food at the table was great. That said, the okonomiyaki wasn't very good at all. The service was incredibly slow given how little they had to do and the line waiting outside, and it was super hot inside at 12noon in June even with the fans. Go for the experience, not the food.

We visited here after looking at local reviews to our hotel, this is a lovely little place, and very traditional too. You enter but you must take your shoes off, we were shown to our table which was heated. They have menu's in english and instructions on how to cook. The Saké was great too! We made okonomiyaki and yakisoba, which was something we had not done before - we really enjoyed the experience - and were great at recommending vegetarian options too!
You can only have the table for 2 hours - which is understandable because it is small, but equally we have the same rules at most places back in the UK too. A really lovely meal and we will be back!

Ueno, Asakusa
Traces of the history and culture of the Edo (old Tokyo) era remain vividly in Ueno and Asakusa. Spacious Ueno Park is a great place to relax and visit a variety of different museums and galleries. At Ameyoko which starts in front of Ueno station, the grocery stores and clothing shops are crammed alongside fishmongers. It gets particularly busy at the end of the year, when many people go on shopping sprees. The town of Asakusa, developed around Sensoji temple, has many shops selling goods and clothing from old Japan, making it a great place for souvenir hunting. It's also known for various annual festivals, and the whole district gets involved with the huge Sanja Festival in May.
