Taketonbo

At Taketonbo, the pork modern-yaki pairs dashi-rich batter with sauce, while the thick yakisoba noodles inside are described by diners as pleasantly chewy. This layered combination of okonomiyaki and yakisoba has left some diners full on its own, making it an option for a hearty meal. The menu also lists modern-yaki with pork, squid, prawns, cheese and mochi, or suji-kon, so there are several fillings to choose from.

For those who prefer a more traditional, substantial okonomiyaki, there are pork and squid versions too. One diner noted that mustard had been spread beneath the sauce on the pork modern-yaki, and suggested asking for it to be left off if you dislike it or are ordering for a child.

Negiyaki is another dish worth considering. One diner who usually dislikes spring onions said they could enjoy the negiyaki here. Fillings include spring onion with pork or squid, as well as suji-kon. The menu goes beyond okonomiyaki, with pork yakisoba, omu-soba and tonpeiyaki; you can also focus your meal on noodles or individual dishes.

A pork yakisoba set meal is available at lunchtime, for anyone who would like rice with their noodles. Drinks include draft and bottled beer, chūhai, oolong tea and cola. Dine-in is available, and the restaurant is listed as cash-only, so check the payment details before you go.
