Unchanged while the decades past by,Okononomi has stayed true to its roots. A truly authentic Japanese street food experience in the heart of Toronto with its welcoming laterns and open griddle that has a 'sizzle' for each order made fresh. I've been coming here ever since a little boy, and I take every opportunity to make a stop when in the area.
Seated at the small counter and presented with the usual order sheet and pencil, I check off the chicken Okonomi and a side of rice. How can you not appreciate the experience of watching your order being made and brought to you fresh. The wizened master chef toiling for years and years over the same griddle (probably) serving up a fabulous savoury pancake with a dollop mayo in the center.
The prices are barely changed, very reasonable for that spot. You must try this piece of true Toronto bliss in the heart of the city unabashedly modest, true to its origins and a part of history.
