Service is above average and waitstaff is friendly. I really like the way the booths are arranged and it is great for parties because you can take over little sections and not bother other patrons!\n\nWhat to order: Okonomiyaki. I don't care what you like. They make some amazing f'ing okonomiyaki. It is SO HARD to find this at a restaurant, and it's even HARDER to find it made well. I am like THIS CLOSE to leaving work and ordering some RIGHT NOW because it is THAT good. I don't care that it takes 15-20 minutes to cook (which they kindly warn you about), it's still awesome.\n\nMy friends almost always order ramen bowls and they always seem satisfied with them. Every time I think about it, I remember how good the okonomiyaki is and never order one. Sorry!...but not really. om nom nom\n\nAlso: Eel bowl! I ordered this when I was on a diet (read: viciously pulled away from my okonomiyaki goodness) and it was good AND cheap! And it came with miso soup. There is no downside to this."^^ . "2"^^ .
