I tried going in alone on a weekday evening. It opened a few years ago in a previously fitted-out space, but somehow felt hard to enter, so this was my first visit. I first ordered bottled beer and one okonomiyaki. The okonomiyaki seemed undercooked, with the inside still a mushy mess. The woman cooking also seemed unsure of herself, as though supervised by the man beside her who was just standing there. While I was eating, a young man who seemed to be a regular came in and began talking loudly with the man who was just standing at the counter, which was unpleasant. Worse still, the young customer reeked of perfume, so I left immediately. As I suspected, this place was not for me.

The signature doroyaki and okonomiyaki are delicious, and the staff's service is pleasant too. A family-friendly place where they smile and interact with your child even if you bring a 0-year-old baby. Prices are relatively reasonable, and it is easy to drop in.

The food is good, the staff are lively, and it is easy to visit alone! They also serve oden in winter, so oden lovers should check it out!! The griddle-cooked dishes were exceptional and very delicious🤤

The existing restaurant reopened after a complete renovation on 9/16 in 2025. Despite being a teppanyaki place, the interior is super clean. The grease filters are super clean too. Apparently, the owner is the celebrity ｢はるな愛｣. All okonomiyaki can be ordered in half portions (this is important!), so it is a great place that is easy on the wallet and friendly to women. That may make it the cheapest place for flour-based dishes in the area. Even if a middle-aged guy visits alone, the chatty manager and others will properly keep him company. It also stays open past midnight. The interior is completely nonsmoking, making it friendly to women and people with children. The toilet is clean too. However, there are no amenities for women at all, so I think that needs improvement. An exceptionally good place that I highly recommend. The counter is fairly spacious, making solo okonomiyaki dining possible.
