Wow that looks absolutely incredible.

I had both the takoyaki and the okonomiyaki there once and it turned out to be horrible. Maybe it's their style of eating but the batter for both were too undercooked and bland for me. The takoyaki was pretty much a ball of air with a rubbery octopus tenacle in the middle and the okonomiyaki tasted like raw cabbage with flour and water... I'm not saying it's a terrible place, just wasn't to my liking.

when a word in japanese is pronounced like it was an english word and just modified... it's wrong T_T When you want to present an authentic meal like that and you want to give the impression you really love it, you should at least pronounce it decently oO o-ko-no-mi-ya-ki, it's sooo not difficult lol. But other than that... okonomiyaki are so delicious :D With kewpie mayonnaise :D
