友鐵廣島燒專門店
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.
