ha! yes I love Okonomiyaki! My dad used to make them all the time, this was before he became nonexistent in my life. He has also prepared okonomiyaki in the kansai style so that is what I use to make my own okonomiyaki. I like to add green peppers and onions with maple bacon or prosciutto and mushrooms, or sweet shrimp and topped with my own spicy mayonnaise or shiroi sauce and ketchup! OMG it is sooooo good with ketchup! recently I have fallen in love with hotsauce, frank’s to be exact, and it is especially decadent with frank’s on top! I love OKONOMIYAKI! thanks for making this site even though i just found it 3 years later lol

I live in Pittsburgh, and there is a fabulous okonomiyaki place in Highland Park. It’s called Teppanyaki Kyoto Restaurant, and it hits pretty close to home. My boyfriend and I decided to go there yesterday when we were missing Japan. Highly recommended for anyone in the area.

The texture does me in more than the octopus part. It’d be molten lava mush with a piece of hotdog instead. I won’t lie though, I’m intrigued by the dessert ones I’ve heard of students making at takoyaki parties.

Really great Okonomiyaki place in Kyoto on Senbon dorii just south of Senbon-Marutamachi.

It the best before or after a night of drinking and singing in the karaoke bars of Japan Town in San Francisco. My Japanese friends make it when they stay at my house with whatever is leftover in the fridge!

I had authentic Hiroshima okonomiyaki and I just loved it! I don’t know what you’re talking about
