| - Overall, a cute semi-hole in the wall kind of establishment that serves up tasty japanese pancakes. Would recommend if looking for cheap eats and a chill environment :)
The okonomiyaki (4/5): I had to opp to try the bacon, beef, and chicken okonomiyaki where all 3 were very delicous! I have had seafood okonomiyaki in japantown in SF before, then again at Guu Izakaya, but was never a fan, until I tried the japanese pancakes here! I'd say beef was my favorite, then the bacon, then the chicken. The beef was so tasty I was happy that the flavour wasn't lost in the pancake batter kind of how the chicken did. Bacon is bacon, c'mon, do I even have to elaborate? But yes, BE WARNED! You have to order the seaweed and bonito flakes separately, it does not come with an order of okonomiyaki!
Cost (4.5/5): At approx $7 a pop for a pancake this was def worth. I was full after eating half of each of the 3 types so I'd say that 3 pancakes between 2 women is a fair portion. Maybe 4 if its between 2 men haha. So yes, it was definitely a fair price!
Service (3.5/5): Could be better? I guess it is typical for the kind of of place it was. Semi-fast food, semi-resto kind of feel. Though you will have to ask them to refill your water for you, they won't watch for it.
Ambience (3.5/5): it's very casual and the japanese laterns outside the restaurant are beautiful at night. The crowd has a large variance from young people to the older folk who just want to enjoy an fast and chill meal. I went during dinner on a Thursday night (and stayed for 3 hrs, but thats another story), and all through the night the tables turned fairly quick and there was never a line up, so I believe everyone was fairly if not very happy.
