Location/Setting
Walk too fast and you will miss it completely. Down a side alleyway is this little eatery which attempts to bring the Osaka favourite to HK. The location is very unique and adds to the fun of eating at this restaurant. As you pass the buzz of Granville St and pass the temptation of other eateries, a little patience will have you stumbling in to find it. Given the small shop front, all seating is outside in the alleyway, but this cozy style of eating is very well matched with the kind of food that is served.
FoodGiven the namesake and my craving, we had to order okonomiyaki.
First up we ordered the traditional pork as well as their signature name Okonomiyaki fried noodle dish. Now, on the menu they had multiple choices, which I guess is a selling point of this restaurant, but in reality, you cant really go that wrong with okonomiyaki, every dish is going to pretty much taste the same. The portion size was a bit smaller than expected and the inability to add unlimited amounts of toppings was a bit disappointing, but this wasn't a make it yourself style okonomiyaki restaurant afterall, and in keeping with the fashion of being a quasi street stand it was a very well presented dish. It was very tasty and inline with the traditional mix of teppanyaki sauce and mayonaise with dried fish dancing on top. What was an interesting take on this dish, it was more a pizza style than an actual pancake. Semantics I hear you say? Perhaps, but I prefer my okonomiyaki pancake style. Nevertheless ingredients were true to origin and no complaints from me, very tasty. Portion sizes could be bigger but I guess at this price, just order more!
We saw the table next to us had a few skewers going so we ordered the mince chicken (at their suggestion - not an automatic first choice but it ended up being a good one!) and the beef tongue. Now the beef tongue was sub par but the chicken was pretty tasty! Overall
Now this restaurant was a surprising find. I am surprised that there haven't been more open rice reviews, but this is a must try and a fun place for a few people and if you were like me craving okonomiyaki. The food could be better but on balance and for price, it was a pretty good experience!
