Okonomi House - Toronto

This was my first time trying Okonomiyaki. We ordered a chicken Okonomiyaki, a shrimp Okonomiyaki and a mixed vegetable appetizer. The Okonomiyaki here is amazing which is probably why this restaurant is always frequented by U Toronto students. 10/10 recommend. The okonomiyaki sauce is tangy and all the flavors work perfectly together. Would definitely recommend the shrimp Okonomiyaki!

This forever been there lovely bright Japanese restaurant specializes in the Japanese Okonomi pancake with assorted fillings, the pictured one being the veg option. Other Japanese dishes especially Teriyaki are delicious as well. Follow up with their delicious crème caramel dessert. The staff are delightful.

I've been a returning customer to Okonomi House for over 20 years!  My kids grew on this food! This is the best Japanese dining in Toronto by far!  Place is small, but almost always packed, if there is no space you can wait or just have a seat at the dinning bar and wait for a table.  This is friendly family business, courteous, professional and with a smile! Menu offers most delicious Japanese style omelet OKONOMI with chicken or beef, my preferable is Yakiniku dinner, amazingly sautéed beef with sprouts.  I hope they stay open for years to come!

I think it's been a year since I first bookmarked Okonomi House on Zomato. I think it's rare to find traditional okonomiyaki in Tdot. This popular savoury pancake from Japan is a popular food item primarily found in Hiroshima and Kansai but can be found throughout Japan with variations of the dish. Okonomiyaki is derived from the word okonomi -meaning: How you like or What you like and Yaki- meaning: Grill. There we have it: How you like it- Grilled!?

Super nice place to grab genuine Okonomi before watching movies in Bloor Cineplex VIP theatre. However, you probably need waiting in a long line in dinner times
