Cute, cozy and friendly little restaurant. Came on a Monday, was very quiet but to be expected. Food was good. I ordered the beef Don (rice bowl). I'm used to this with egg on top by default (Sydney restaurants don't usually have this as an extra). I thought this would have been an ADDITIONAL egg if I'd ordered the topping. My fault not having checked with the waiter. It's affordable but not cheap, but the quality of ingredients is evident and true to the street food scene.

We ordered the okra and crispy pork, the aubergine, miso soup, pork gyoza and pork okanamiyaki. Unfortunately the gyoza was solid in the middle and burnt on the outside, the aubergine was soggy and somewhat tasteless, the okra was very oily and the pork was more like donner meat that anything near crispy. The miso was delicious, and the okanamiyaki was fine, but doused in some sort of bbq sauce which wasn't that pleasant. Not the best experience, but maybe just an off day.

Lovely place for a small gathering with friends. They serve the best okonomiyaki in London for sure with many different options and topping selection for you to choose from. The curry we had was a bit saltier than expected but went well with the rice!

The beef okra was pretty good, remember to ask for the condiments because staff forgot ours until we asked halfway through the dish.The okonomiyaki was ok more on the sweeter side. We had the okonomiyaki special.The tonkatsu ramen was ok too. It has a stronger tinge of ginger. You can still taste the porky and creamy flavour of the broth but won’t say its extraordinary.Very small place had to seat very close to another table.The booking system is pretty good.

Great okonomiyaki place.Staff are polite and food is delicious.Some really nice cocktails and dessert as well!A little bit cold as the air con was on but dining area is comfortable other than that.

Bad food, freezing and poor table service.This place is not at all what it used to be.The veg gyoza was down right inedible, smelling of old oil, tasting of burnt garlic and the the inner mush indecipherable. Gross.The £11.50 fried soba noodles, was 95% noodles in a jar tasting sauce, contained about 3 bits of tofu and no other veg except a few bean sprouts.Total rip off. Bill came to nearly £50. Don’t be scammed, walk the other direction. So sad this place has gone to the dogs, used to be one of the best spots in Brixton.

I think others reviews have been largely positive so I have no idea what was going on when I went…maybe the main chef was off duty or something. We found our meal really unpleasant, flavours were off. They said they didn’t have ramen? Despite all these reviews, and instead offered some other version of soup that was not delicious. It had cut up pieces of grey bacon in it, and the biggest thing was all 4 dishes were coated in black burned crumbs from the grill. I had to wash each gyoza off individually so my daughter could eat them.

Almost felt like I was in an Izakya in Osaka! Great place to come if you want a meal or some bar snacks with a few drinks.Pork and noodle okonomiyaki had a great contrast of textures and flavours. Was really tempted to get a second one.Service was nice but definitely slowed down when it got busier. The waiting staff seem to share some of the cooking responsibilities, so do expect to wait a bit before trying to grab their attention.Only flaw was that the dessert cheesecakes were laughably small and pretty insignificant - skip the sweets and focus on the savoury goodness here.

excellent, (relatively) affordable food. but the hostess' service was absolutely terrible. really brought down what was a celebratory dinner.i don't believe that wait-staff have to be constantly upbeat & smiley, because it's an awful job. especially on a saturday night. but she was incredibly brusque with us.it was impossible to signal to order, and we were brought our bill without requesting it - in the middle of discussing (amongst ourselves) ordering dessert & a final drink.0 complaints about the food, nonetheless.

Lovely place for a small gathering. They serve the best okonomiyaki and onigiri in London for sure.
