"Okonomi House is one of the only places in Toronto dishing up authentic okonomiyaki. It's not fancy – just a step up from a diner – but it's a must for Japanophiles."

"Our favourite okonomayaki at Okonomi House is topped with bacon. Once the pancake is flipped, the bacon then sizzles until it crisps. Before arriving at the table, the chef tops each okonomayaki with a sweet brown sauce, dollop of kewpie mayo and splattering of shivering bonito flakes."

"It's the okonomiyaki that is the superstar here. I've tried a few versions, but I keep coming back to the pork okonomiyaki, which is considered the 'standard' type in Japan. Thin strips of pork or beef, though, nice and browned on the edges, are perfect."

"The Seafood Deluxe Okonomiyaki arrived on a hot plate. I really enjoyed it! There was a lot of seafood in the pancake and the sweet sauce on top mixed with the Japanese mayo tasted delicious. It’s best when served hot, so I gobbled up my portion pretty quickly."

"I really enjoyed the okonomiyaki. It basically tasted exactly like takoyaki but in a pancake form. The onion in the pancake elevated the otherwise doughiness/blant texture to something more crispy. We also highly recommend one to pay an extra dollar to get the dried seaweed and bonito flakes as they added another dimension of flavour that complemented the okonomiyaki sauce very well."

"The variations here are endless, but we love the combo of chicken, bacon, sprouts and onion. Think of it as a Japanese club sandwich slathered in okonomi sauce and topped with a dollop of sweet mayo."
