What other travelers are saying about Okonomi-mura
Okonomimura is such a fun and unique place! It’s a multi-floor building packed with tiny food stalls, each specializing in Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki — a savoury pancake layered with cabbage, noodles, pork or seafood, and topped with a rich sauce and egg. They welcome turists and have english menus.
We sat right at the counter, watching the chef prepare everything on the hot griddle in front of us — the smell, the sound, the steam… it was a cool experience! The portions were generous, the flavours amazing, and the staff were friendly. It was extensive comparing to other places, but we were welcome and we enjoy it!
Simply the best Okonomiyakis. It’s a food complex of multiple restaurants across 3 floors of nearly 20+ okonomiyakis.
Full of locals, tourists and food influencers.
We tried the cheese and squid okonomiyaki and it was a delight. Choose wherever you get a seat. You can’t be wrong! ;)
Went there at 11:15, and slowly more and more people came. I ate at the 4th floor I think.
It was good, even though I prefer Osaka style because this one lacks a bit of taste because the noodles take away lot of flavour.
It is s nice experience, this place also had English menu, surprisingly.
However, for 1300 yen I still left hungry, I ate a very nice okonomiyaki in the center for 700yen.
Okonomimura is definitely a must-visit if you want to try real Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki. I don’t remember which floor we ate on, but honestly it probably doesn’t matter — every shop there looks great. The one we chose was a small, family-run place operated by an older couple, and the okonomiyaki was cooked right in front of us. A truly authentic and delicious experience.
This was a lot of fun. It was a building with several floors of okonomiyaki restaurants, a food that Hiroshima is famous for. You belly up to the grill like at a teppanyaki restaurant. They don't do any tricks with the food though. You are sitting shoulder to shoulder with strangers. It is very loud and busy but a fun experience. Not somewhere to go for a relaxing meal. This place used to be filled with locals but now it's filled with foreigners.
