“Okonomiyaki at Umeda Sky Building”
Reviewed June 23, 2015
Since every Osaka food list has okonomiyaki close to the top, we obviously needed to try it out. We'd eaten another version in Fukuoka which was created using noodles, but apparently the Osaka style is sort of a pancake with cabbage because the base. Kiji appeared to appear on lots of websites, therefore we tried it out once we were within the Osaka station area. District is situated subterranean, across in the Umeda Sky Building (I believe the Tripadvisor map doesn't show the right location) within the little maze of retailers designed to recreate old Osaka. We was clueless that which shop was Kiji, therefore we requested another merchant who nicely escorted us towards the door.
The area is very small, with only a couple of seats in the cooking bar along with a couple of tables. Possibly a from the space was utilized like a waiting area, which filled to capacity a couple of occasions basically we have there been. They required our order basically we anxiously waited, to assist speed the service. There wasn't any British menu, however the server understood enough to describe the various component options. He suggested one pork okonomiyaki and something yakisoba, but we chosen two okonomiyaki: one pork and something beef. The dog owner and the staff were very friendly, getting together with the visitors and posing for pictures. Because we sitting in the bar, our finished meals were simply pressed towards the fringe of the cooking griddle before us where we cut them and transferred bite-size portions to the plates. Each of our okonomiyaki were excellent. I preferred the beef a little more since it also had carrots, broccoli and mushrooms included, but my spouse loved the pork because the fried strips (like bacon) were very crispy.
Be ready to request directions and wait for table, but you’ll be-rewarded through the friendly atmosphere and attractive okonomiyaki.

I heard many advantages of Osaka and it is amazing okinomiyaki.
It had been really pretty decent, but wasn't as much as my expectations. It had been a little too raw egg for me personally I favor mine a bit more cooked and that i left it around the griddle extra. Type of wiped out the remainder of it.
I additionally had the yakisoba, however it does not rival fujinomiya style. Overall, this is an interesting place with sketches and cards everywhere, however i think the very best Osaka okonomiyaki I have had. Although not overwhelmed.
