Nice to try Okonomiyaki

Very nice to be able to try the okonomiyaki while in Japan, and this place luckily offers it! The food is vary tasty, and well worth a try! We sat at the counter, which was both good and bad: good to see how they make the food in the traditional way, but not so good looking at them fry bacon, shrimps and eggs. If this is a problem for you, chose to sit at a table.

Pros: Exciting food

Yay Okonomiyaki!

It was really nice to be able to partake of this traditional food while traveling. They prepared it right in front of me, after thoroughly cleaning the grill. Okonomiyaki is hard to describe. It's a bunch of veggies, batter, and noodles cooked into a pancake-shaped thing. It was really good!

What an experience!

This place hands down was an awesome experience. Being vegan means we miss out on a lot of street food and Japanese experiences but coming here you're able to at least experience one of them. Hiroshima is known for their okonomiyaki where they cook in front of you (if you sit at the counter) and serve you their speciality cabbage/soba/rice pancake. Not only do you get the experience but the pancake was absolute devine. They have 3 vegan options and heaps of vegetarian options. The vegan options are plain soba (do not recommend), cabbage/soba and mix veggie with soba. The latter two were great. We liked them both and came back for 2nds the next day and ordered 3 to share between the 2 of us since it would've been the last time to eat this. One pancake is actually quite a big serving for one person. Expect to wait in line at least half an hour because it's a popular place.

Pros: The best okonomiyaki, Great experience

Cons: Long wait

Hands down, best meal in japan

My brother and i just visited here and we loved it! As a vegetarian I had so many options to choose from, they even go as far as to offer veggie broth- which is fantastic because that’s usually why I can’t eat certain foods. Hands down the best vegetarian meal I had in Japan, and I stayed in a Buddhist Temple! Great staff, great food, great atmosphere. The only downside was the limited seating and it can be a wait, we got there at just the right time but I saw some people waiting for a bit. But, worth the wait!

Pros: Fantastic food , Reasonable prices, Friendly staff

Cons: Limited seating arrangement

Nice filling lunch!!

Vege option very clear on the menu. Beautiful okonomiyaki without egg for once! Only one I’ve seen without egg during my weeks here in japan. Slightly bland but you can add sauces and definitely does the job after a day of visiting the sights of Hiroshima.

Bland but fulfilling.

The vegan option was quite bland though fulfilling in size. Worth it for the authentic experience.

Delicious Okonomiyaki

Fantastic service, and delicious food! The menu was easy to interpret with the vegetarian section clearly marked. All the staff speak English well and were happy to make changes as requested. After ordering vegetarian (for my husband) and vegan for myself, the waitress brought over the vegetable sauce and took away the other sauce to avoid confusion.

Pros: Plenty of vegetarian & vegan options (inc veg sauc, Staff speak English well (& are very accommodating

Vegan Okonomiyaki!

This was a really great brunch! We got there before it opened after reading about the wait times and sure enough, the place filled up in the blink of an eye after we sat down. The portions were very big, with plenty of toppings. They even have a vegan sauce for the okonomiyaki! An edamame appetizer is a cheap and delicious addition to the meal.

Pros: Delicious, Vegan and vegetarian options, English menu

Cons: No vegan mayo or tofu available

Okonomiyaki!

An excellent okonomiyaki experience! They are very clear about what is and isn’t vegan friendly. Be ready to line up for at least half an hour!

Clearly-labelled, tasty food (after a wait)

It was great to try a traditional Japanese dish prepared with veggie people in mind. While still in the queue we were given a menu in English with separate sections for different ingredients so it was easy to choose what we could eat. Once inside, the waitress said one of the sauces on our table wasn’t veggie and replaced it with a veggie alternative. The food was great - but we were there at lunchtime and it took exactly one hour from when we joined the queue to getting the food so come prepared for the wait (or get a pre-meal snack from the 7-eleven across the street).

So nice we're going twice!

Delicious okonomiyaki with lots of options, the staff speak good English and they're well organised. If there's a queue they will take your order whilst you're waiting. We were sat at the bar and it was fun to watch the okonomiyaki being made on the hot plate. We loved it so much we're going again before we leave Hiroshima!

Pros: Clearly labelled veggie & vegan options, Hot plate wiped down and separate utensils used wh, Staff have good English

Delicious vegan Hiroshima style okonomiyaki

The place is very nice. We went there on our trip in Hiroshima and were not disappointed. Vegan Okonomiyaki is delicious. They even provide with special vegan-version of the okonomiyaki sauce.

Too bad there are lots of non-vegan plates. Everything is cooked together, so they may use same tools to touch piece of bacon and your vegan okonomiyaki.

Pros: Tradional food

Cons: Queue to enter, Only few vegan options

Huge meal of deliciousness

Has an easy to understand English menu and multiple vegetarian and vegan options. They also swap your sauce for the vegetarian alternative. The food came out quickly and was a huge serving. Both the okonomiyaki and the plum wine were utterly delicious. There was no line when we went around 3pm. Would definitely return again!

it's great, vegan sauces

They take your order when you walk in and they have options for all, vegan, veg, it is just a noodle shop so don't expect variety. But the veggie sauce is suuuuper good. Well worth it. Also have great big beers.

Helpful staff, easy for vegans

English speaking staff made it easy to order vegan okonomiyaki. They even swap the okonomiyaki sauce for a vegetarian version from your table, and also helpfully remove the mayonnaise from your table as you sit down.
Super delicious, don't miss it.

Pros: Vegan okonomiyaki!

Awesome to experience japanese classic

Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki with clearly marked vegetarian or vegan options in english. Once seated waiter also showed us which sauces were suitable for our diet. There was a lineup of about 6 people but moved quickly after lunch rush. Really good price for large tasty meal to sustain long days travelling. Great place to try japanese classic and dining experience.

Very tasty!
Be prepared sometimes cueing is necessary.
For Vegans Option "G" with Edamame as side dish is the best choice I guess.
With your order arrives the vegetarian brown sauce.
Would definitely come back!

Pros: great food, great value, very Japan food

Cons: cueing can be necessary

Vegan okinomiyaki

It's good just to experience vegan okinomiyaki. It's very hot by the hot plates but we went in the middle of summer so that's our fault really! Very close to the A dome and peace memorial and vegan options are clearly labelled

Cons: A bit bland

the sauce is yum

Me and my partner stood on a bridge looking up on the app for places to eat, and this happened to be literally tot next to us, so we went there. There was no line and mostly foreigners there so I was a bit suspicious but we found it very tasty. It was nice that the vegan and vegetarian menu was easy to understand and we got the vegetable sauce which was very tasty. I've eaten non-vegan okonomiyaki before, and in my opinion this was as tasty as those ones. It would be nice to have a few more options to choose from, but since I love mochi and garlic this was perfect for me.
