In terms of the rarity of the food, I would recommend it;
but if we're talking about regular dining, I wouldn't recommend it (💰).

To sum it up👉 the food is delicious, but the rest of the experience is average.

On the weekend, we gathered with friends for a meal,
and we were attracted by the rarity of the food,
so we chose to eat at this Hiroshima-style Okonomiyaki place,
after all, as far as I know, there are only two places selling Hiroshima-style Okonomiyaki in Taiwan.
(Taipei & Taichung)

I’ll leave the food comments below👀
Let’s talk about the other experiences!

🅿️ Parking nearby is extremely difficult
The shop is relatively close to the train station, so taking public transport (bus, train) is very convenient; it’s less than a 10-minute walk from the station.
However, on the flip side, the area is also a commercial district, a thoroughfare, and a transfer station, so even if there are motorcycle and car parks, they are hard to find, and the paid parking isn't cheap either.

In the end, I parked in the parking lot under a department store,
which has a larger number of spots and better turnover,
but it also depends on the time; during busy hours, it’s still hard to find a spot.

🍽️ About dining

⏳ Dining time limit: 60 minutes
This time limit really shocked me; there's enough time to eat,
but if you want to be a little leisurely and chat, the time feels very tight.

🚪 Queue outside and order from outside before being seated
The business seems really good, and customers are all restricted by the staff at the door.
You have to queue first, order outside (and they don’t accept additional orders in between), and only after that, the staff will let you in to sit down.
If it’s full, you can only wait outside.

This is also why I mentioned I don’t recommend it for regular dining,
we happened to come at noon, and the sun was blazing,
the shop didn’t open early but only at noon.
We arrived at the door around 11:40 to start queuing,
but we still had to wait until 12:00 for the staff to begin taking orders and letting people in.

Although I understand the shop has its own rules…
it’s quite tiring to be under the scorching noon sun like this...

If it’s friends who want to try something new,
I would still consider this place,
but for regular dining, I probably wouldn’t want to come specifically.

Mentaiko Hiroshima style okonomiyaki $360 There is a lot of mentaiko and a lot of sauce, so by the end it gets a bit salty, and I had to drink quite a few sips of water. If I hadn't shared it with my friend and had eaten a whole serving by myself, I would probably have gotten numb from the saltiness.

Octopus Hiroshima-style pancake $360 The octopus is well-prepared and full, very chewy with a bit of bounce. You can taste the octopus in every bite. Comparing the two flavors, I prefer the octopus one.

On the table, there is a paper card tutorial that tells you how to hold the spatula, how to eat Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki, and also introduces some fancy eating methods (?).

What does love-shaped cutting really mean? 🤣🤣🤣 But in the end, we didn't use any of it; we still followed the habit of choosing pizza cutting.

Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki is eaten with a spatula!

There are two types of seating: one facing the cooking counter and one at a regular four-person table. My friend and I were arranged at the cooking counter, so we got to watch the chef make Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki while we ate. (However, to be honest, I think teppanyaki is more visually appealing.)

In the section with general seating, you can see the TV, but my seat cannot see the TV.

A very cute cat (so I took a picture) used to hold down the toilet paper.

There is a sign at the entrance that shows some side dish options that are available and not available on the menu.

Menu - Side Dishes Section

Menu - Hiroshima-style Okonomiyaki

Menu - Beverages

Menu - Shawa

At the store entrance At this time, it wasn't 12:00 yet, so everyone had to hold umbrellas and wait in line outside.

The reason why teppanyaki is considered to be more visually appealing is that you can see that Okonomiyaki has layers, but aside from the top layer being different, the rest are basically the same. Therefore, most of the time you just watch the chef do the same thing. As for the menu, since it all looks like individual orders, with a 60-minute time limit, if we wanted to leisurely enjoy dessert, we felt it would be too rushed! Hence, in the end, we only ordered Okonomiyaki to eat.
