I had to go to the Richmond District today and I knew farmers market was happening. I told myself to just get a snack because I need to fit into a dress for the two holiday parties I'm going to on Thursday. Within 10ft of entering farmers market, I saw Kunugi Noodles's booth that had a picture of Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki. So naturally I didn't listen to myself and ordered one lol!
The owner was working by himself so it was a wait. But the okonomiyaki was worth it, especially because Hiroshima-style is hard to find in the city.

In conclusion, I didn’t get my food after waiting for an hour because the restaurant didn’t even reach out to me that they wont be making my order until the delivery man did. Next time, don’t accept an order you are not willing to make. Will never order anything from this place again, very...
