Osaka, Japan｜ヤキソバベイベー道頓堀本店 yakisoba baby okonomiyaki baby

I had some friends visiting Japan from Florida, and I met them in Osaka to hang out. It was around 10pm on a Tuesday and my friends wanted to try Okonomiyaki for the first time. I googled places that were open, and this was the closest to us. The sound of Migos playing on the speakers caught our attention before we even saw the store, and the bright neon sign let us know we were definitely in the right place 😎The owner greeted us and treated every customer in the store like a best friend. His energy is so chaotic and so funny lol! I have no idea how this place has less than 40 reviews! For a Tuesday, it was pretty full of customers! Don’t be surprised if you have to stand and eat. The food might also take a while to come out, since they make everything to order. But that wait is sooo worth it! The food will be fresh, hot, and DELICIOUS!! And good, reasonable prices too! They also offer take out if you order right at the counter. One of my friends left before the food arrived, so me and my remaining friend had lots of food leftover. We felt so bad that we were leaving so much food!! That’s when the older gentleman (maybe the dad of the owner?) suggested he pack up the leftovers for us, so of course we said yes! Getting leftovers to go is such a rare thing in Japan so I was so happy they were accommodating! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone! If they’re this busy late at night on a random Tuesday, it’s probably even more lit on a weekend! 🤑It was so busy but the owner will go out of his way to make conversation. He’s definitely someone my friends and I will never forget! We always laugh thinking about the memories made here!

Best Okonomiyaki in Town! Its a small shop, but very lively. The staff is very friendly ans fun. Really recommend going there and its on my list when I come back to Osaka!

This was my first time in Japan and first time having Soba noodles! It could not have been better! The chef is an absolute LEGEND and incredible cook! Super friendly and talented! The prices were very reasonable! His mother also helped as staff and she was very sweet and patient. Very wholesome people that will put a smile on your face! I highly recommend it if you are in Dotonbori! And if the Chef ever makes it to NC, USA, hit us up at the Carolina School of surf and we will treat you right 🤙🌺 ありがとうございます!!
