Great experience. They cook the okonomiyaki right in front of you. Added on the yakisoba and the oyster pancake. All were delicious. Went around 2pm and still had a long queue. Everyone had to order something - sides are considered.

The line here was seriously long. I got there around 4:30 pm and didn’t actually get to eat until about 7 pm. Pretty crazy wait. I ordered the Ajinoya Premium Set, which comes with 6 dishes, and the price felt pretty reasonable for the amount of food. The signature here is the okonomiyaki, and it’s really loaded with ingredients. There’s shrimp, pork, beef, squid, and scallops all packed inside. Super hearty, and with the sauce it just tastes like proper authentic okonomiyaki. The side dishes were good too. The set came with special yakisoba, grilled seafood, negiyaki, stewed beef tendon, and akashiyaki. Everything was tasty, but the okonomiyaki was definitely my favorite. If you’re around the Namba area, it’s worth trying at least once. Just be prepared to wait in line.

Okonomiyaki Ajinoya was absolutely delicious and became one of my favorite meals in Japan. I truly want to come back and eat here again. The okonomiyaki had a wonderfully soft texture, perfectly cooked with rich and flavorful ingredients in every bite. The balance of savory sauce, fresh toppings, and fluffy texture made it incredibly satisfying and comforting to eat. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Osaka — definitely a memorable food experience.

Went in peak lunch hours on a weekday, luckily the queue wasn't long, only waited around 15 minutes for a table. We got their signature okonomiyaki with every toppings and a yakisoba. The taste is absolutely delicious for us tourists trying it for the first time. We absolutely enjoyed looking at the okonomiyaki being cooked in front of our own eyes. However, after staying a few days around Osaka & Kyoto, you might realise that all okonomiyaki shops are pretty much delicious in their own way. This shop stands out as the more expensive ones, since its in a tourist area. If you're first time here in Osaka, don't be too fixated on which store has the best okonomiyaki, cuz all of them are great! Just find one that's more towards your budget and you'll have a good time.

Came for the hype (and Bib Gourmand creds) — waited 45 mins… let’s see if it delivered 👀 Ordered the Special #1 — loaded with shrimp, scallop, bacon, squid… everything you want in an okonomiyaki 🦐 Chef cooks it right in front of you — insanely fast (blink and you’ll miss it 😅) Yakisoba was a hit too — let it sit on the grill for that extra crispy bite 🔥 Takoyaki though… a miss. Too soft, too mushy, and barely any octopus inside. Worth the wait? Maybe. Worth walking out smelling like a grill? Debatable 😆 ⭐️ 7.5/10 😊
