It generally contains about 11 layers which consist of various types of vegetables, moderate portions of protein, a decent layer of carbs, and a few layers of extra flavor.


And although each layer brings their own flavor and texture to the table, it's the famous Otafuku sauce that brings them all together.

Hiroshima style okonomiyaki has a few distinguishing features compared to the more widely known Osaka style.

For one, each ingredient has its own layer. That means keeping each layer in order during cooking and merging all layers requires more attention and a little extra dexterity from the chef.

Watching masterful chefs preparing Hiroshima style okonomiyaki behind the teppan grill adds to the dining experience.

Keep in mind that the best seats in the house are right at the counter!

Part of what makes okonomiyaki so popular is the fun you can have when you eat it! Everyone gets their own “hera” (That’s Japanese for a miniature spatula) with each okonomiyaki. You can use the hera to cut smaller pieces of the okonomiyaki for easier eating or to trade and share pieces with, or you can just use it to eat the okonomiyaki outright! For those not as daring, you can eat the okonomiyaki with ohashi (chopsticks) or a fork.

4worldlovers: Good, but not great sushi. very conveniently located for me so I come here often and it's consistently satisfying, with fast and friendly service. favorites are the veggie tempura hand roll (pictured, only $4.50) and salmon sushi (always like butter, I believe $4.25). most of their fancy rolls are just California rolls with fresh fish on top, for $10+ so I usually stick to a few cheaper options instead here.

Some of the best sushi I've had in a while! Also, the plum wine was superb and the mochi ice cream was delicious. The staff was friendly. I look forward to my next visit.
