Okonomiyaki Yakeppachi — Restaurant in Hiroshima

Very tasty okonomiyaki, as well as a wide selection of other dishes (seems very authentically Japanese dishes). The staff are so incredibly nice, speaks little English but goes out of their way to make us feel welcomed. They have an English menu as well. Offers dine in and takeaway. The only potential downside is the customers can smoke inside, though the place seems magically well ventilated so you aren't too bothered by the smoke. Also, the seating is cosy so may not suit customers with babies and prams. Though, when we were there with our toddler, the owner brought out a high cushion for us to use as a booster seat. He is just lovely. We loved the place so much we went back again for dinner eventhough we are only here for 3 nights and want to experience many different places. AND we got a takeaway okonomiyaki to have for breakfast the next day.

The place has a nice atmosphere and the food is cooked right in front of you, I would highly recommend you stop here if you are in Hiroshima. The following night we paid double the price in Osaka to eat at a Michelin Guide Okinomiyaki place (where we had to line up for about 45 minutes). Hiroshima Okinomiyaki still took first place in our eyes due to the mastery of...

Cosy place with warm and welcoming staff. They have a local beer on tap - Nama - which is relatively cheap and quite tasty. The staff were happy to accomodate our dietary requirements, and they clarified what we could and could not eat. We got the soba noodle okonomiyaki and it was delicious. Definitely visit this place if you want an authentic Japanese cuisine experience. Loved by locals and...
