As a foreigner living in Japan, trying this sort of restaurant for the first time, was an overall not-so-good experience.

(TL;DR at the bottom)

I went there on Saturday at lunchtime with one more person. The queue was not long and we did not really mind waiting, but the first thing that came into my mind when I walked into the restaurant was "how dirty the restaurant is". The tables and seats were clean, but the surroundings were unbearable to look at. One good thing about the seat is that the seat is like a box, customers can safely store their belongings right in it safely.

After we ordered, during the wait, the staff came by and asked if we wanted the appetizer omelet. The staff did not mention anything about the price, but in the end, we were charged about 700+ yen for it, pretty much expensive for the amount. The taste was average.

Leaving out the appetizer omelet, we waited almost half an hour for my first monjayaki. The wait was awful and painful. We were already hungry, the restaurant was already hot and people were talking loud enough, the speaker was also right above our head playing loud music. I highly recommend people with hearing problems or tinnitus stay away from this restaurant.

After the first monjayaki came, the staff started preparing the meal for us. It seemed like a good thing, but it is their job, so this is not really a plus point. After clearing the monjayaki, the pan was empty, so it was time for the second food, our okonomiyaki, the staff also prepared that for us. The staff did give us extra instruction on how to eat monjayaki and how much longer is needed to flip the okonomiyaki. The taste of monjayaki was great, but the okonomiyaki was just average and somehow can get burnt quite quickly. I also wished for larger plates for us to put our food on.

Calling staff was difficult. We sat on the 2nd floor of the restaurant where staff only often come for a brief period and go, and there was no "call" button. As mentioned earlier, the restaurant was loud, so it was not easy to call the staff. Even when I raised my hand, most of the time the staff did not notice it. There were also no water jugs at the tables, and calling staff was required to refill cups of water.

After we finished our meal, we could not stand the atmosphere and gave up on ordering dessert. We paid for it and walked out. One of the very few good things was the staff spraying the clothes deodorant for us. That is all. We spent around 95-110 minutes for a lunch (the time arrived at the restaurant to the time we exited the restaurant), which I considered very time-consuming. I was not full, and burning-drying feelings were left in my mouth and tongue for like 24-48 hours. I will never visit this restaurant for the second time nor recommend this to anyone.

TL;DR

Pros: Able to store belonging easily, good monjayaki taste, clothes deodorant spray when exiting

Cons: Dirty restaurant surroundings, no omelet appetizer price mentioned when we are being offered, very loud atmosphere, long food waiting time, calling staff was difficult

Other mentions: Average okonomiyaki taste and burnt quite quickly
