First time here and have to say, I’m sorry I waited so long. Our server, Dom, was very knowledgeable. Since it WAS our first time I ask what he would order. And his recommendation was on point. I had the B&C with marinated beef and a sunny side up egg as extra toppings. My wife had the Yakisobo with marinated beef. Portions are amazing (both of us will have another meal from it.) We got to sit right by the window overlooking the kitchen so we could see the cooks building the dishes on the griddle. All of the staff was amazing. We arrived just after 1pm on Saturday and had about a 10 minute wait because they were completely packed. I can’t imagine how full they are for dinner and I don’t know if they take reservations. But as we mostly only eat out for lunch, I’m not too worried about that. We will most certainly be returning.

Apparently there’s a speech you get before you order to let you know how things are done/can be done. We disnt get that until after we order some appetizers and a new waiter cam along. Regardless of what you order you can swap out the protein. The Japanese Pancakes can be ordered crispy or soft. The crispy is only on the top. The Cow Tongue was more chewy than I expected. The Chicken Karage was perfect. Overall the food was okay. My friend treated me to dinner. While I was in the bathroom he paid. As I walked out of the restroom I was pressed about why he didn’t leave a tip. Caught me off guard & I didnt like it. However, i do understand they want to make improvements on customer service but I enjoyed the service from the 2nd waiter vs the 1st.

Came with friends to try this place for the first time and we had a blast! Parking was pretty alright and the atmosphere is very welcoming.
For appetizers we had ordered karaage, takoyaki ( original and mentaiko). All were scrumptious while we waited for our okonomiyaki orders. The takoyaki mentaiko was pretty new experience and enjoyed the textures of eveything.
I had gotten the corn cheese mayo okonomiyaki with soft noodles and fried chicken. The portion sizes are enormous, so for sure good for sharing family style if you want to try the various menu items. We had also ordered GOAM!, and Broc’n Shrimp. Overall, the okonomiyakis were hot, flavour packed and mouthwatering after every bite. The aroma played a huge part in inhaling majority of the plate and the fried chicken was nicely moist and crunchy all at once!
Would reccomend coming here for some night bites with friends over a beer or soda

Hiroshima cuisine in Carrollton, Texas! We returned from Hiroshima, Japan in October. One of our best meals there was Okonomiyaki. We found a local restaurant featuring many different versions of this post WW2 comfort food. Highly recommended for those who want an authentic taste of Japan.

We got the B&C with beef substitution and the Chinchikurinyaki, both crispy, just as the waiter recommended. It did not disappoint and was very delicious. We were lucky to sit next to the window where we can watch them cook the Okonomiyaki. Such an interesting process to watch it cooked and assembled. Food and service were phenomenal. It was very busy when we came here for lunch but definitely worth the wait for the food.

We ordered the Spicy GOAM, The B & C, karaage (fried chicken), and the Kurobuta sausage. The Spicy GOAM had a nice kick, the B & C was cheesy and tasty, and the fried chicken was crispy and flavorful. The sausage was more mild not spicy. Also, the food wasn’t as hot as I expected when it came out. Still, overall the flavors were good and it’s a fun spot to try in Carrollton.

First time dining there last night. I didn’t even know there is such a okonomiyaki place in Carrollton. We loved the okonomiyaki when we went to Osaka a few years ago. This is Hiroshima style we never had before. We ordered the Karasge and Fried Japanese Oyster as appetizers. The Fried Oyster was really delicious. Even my wife who usually does not like oyster said it was good. For entrees, we had the Loaded Kaisen, Chinchikurinyaki, Spicy GOAM. All very delicious. The seafood in the Loaded Kaisen was very fresh. My favorite is the Spicy GOAM. The jalapenos add some kick to it. They are also not as heavy as I expected. My son asked me if I prefer Osaka or Hiroshima style. That is a very difficult choice since they are both good in their own way . Service was also great. Will definitely go there again to try other dishes. Highly recommended.

I grew up eating okonomiyaki and this place does not disappoint!! I personally like a little more cabbage, but the flavor is spot on. So glad they opened in DFW—can’t wait to come back and try more okonomiyaki!

BEST Karaage IN DFW!
This was my first time here and it served up mad flavor. We tried a bit of everything.
The B&C + Squid & Shrimp – crispy style – the basil mayo really brought this one together add the dried flakes for spice.
Spicy GOAM! + Beef – original (softer noods) great flavor from the thick okonomiyaki sauce. The beef added was sooo tender and flavorful (almost like a galbi style marinade)
Karaage – omg. Mad tender and so juicy. YUZU SALT was a game changer. I wish it was a TINY crispier but maybe bc I let it sit and didn’t eat it right away. Must get this here!
Tan tan – tasty nice peanuty flavorful profile with bouncy noodles.
Kimchi Fries – why is this even so good? Very surprised with how well the meat and sauces worked together.
Honestly no bad bites here just a food coma!

We were originally going to order an okonomiyaki as a takeaway due to time constraints, but THANK YOU for persuading us to stay and eat them– crispy, hot, and magnificent–in house. Love it when restaurants have such pride in their food they insist we try them in their best condition!
Having moved a few years ago from Bangkok, where there’s a huge Japanese expat community and loads of okanamiyaki res, this is just what ive been craving. The grilled beef tongue, and the mentaiko udon (so, so soft) were awesome too!
