Okonomi

Finally got to try this spot. Truly enjoyed food, service, and the atmosphere. They serve Japanese home cooked meal that makes you feel cozy inside. We went for a dinner on a Sunday evening. Reservation is definitely hard to get since they have small dining space. But it felt intimate and it was nice not yelling across the table to talk to people. My husband and I felt satisfied after the meal—we got the large breakfast. The choice of winter greens on this plate was complementary to the fish they served that evening (miso marinated mackerel). Miso soup had a pleasant note of smokiness. They give you good amount of soup and rice too. We’ll be returning in the future for sure.

Amazing hidden gem. As someone grew up in Busan, KR, which is pretty close to Japan and is having lots of high quality Japanese restaurants. I can say this place serves a very authentic Japanese comfort food. Never expected, but surprisingly satisfied after having a long day.

japanese is my favorite cuisine and I love simple, ingredient forward dishes. Having said that I feel like good japanese restaurants are very detail oriented and take great care in their choice of rice (both in terms of quality and taste) and I noticed this was not the case here. The fish also tasted a tad unfresh. The meal definitely gave a home cooked feel, but the lack of attention to detail for the price and what they seemed to be going for did not make this experience worth it for me.

Absolute JOY eating here. Most authentic Japanese meal I’ve had since being in Japan. Extremely fresh, unreal flavor, impeccable vibes. I cannot wait to return asap!!!

Food 4/5 Service 3.5/5 Ambiance 3.5/5 Okonomi serves a traditional Japanese breakfast for $30-$38. The experience is intimate, with only 12 seats, so reservations are a must. Don't expect to leave completely full, as the portions are on the smaller side, but it's definitely a unique experience. I enjoyed the miso salmon, but found the pollock a bit dry and underseasoned. It seems the fish quality can vary, as my friend's pollock was juicier.
