In April 2013, when I went to Tokyo for work, my companion took me to try monjayaki for the first time. I had never imagined what kind of food it was or what it would taste like. I was completely lost on what to order, so I left it to the waiter. Before long, the dish arrived. The waiter guided us through the cooking process and we all enjoyed it together. It was delicious! We quickly finished the first dish and ordered more. By the end of the meal, the four of us had devoured five dishes. If I have the chance, or even if I have to make the effort, I would love to go back to that restaurant again.

As a Kansai native, I had never tried monjayaki before, but I decided to give it a try in Tsukishima since I now live in Tokyo. I visited this restaurant, which is known for its "mochi mentaiko monja." Despite my initial hesitation due to the appearance, I found the monjayaki to be delicious as I ate it. The broth was flavorful and I think I may become a fan of monjayaki from now on. However, in terms of portion size and price, it may be a bit on the expensive side. Overall, I am satisfied. Thank you for the meal.

This was my second visit. I recommended the "Ishikari" style monjayaki to my companion who had little experience with it. Since one dish wasn't enough, we also ordered the "Kabayaki Monja" that caught our eye. It was delicious, almost like eating hitsumabushi, regardless of whether it's monjayaki or not, haha. I highly recommend it! Definitely make a reservation beforehand. We visited at 6 pm and almost all the seats were reserved.

I made a reservation for 6:30 PM and visited the restaurant! The seats were almost full, and even the available seats seemed to be reserved. I ordered one monjayaki and one okonomiyaki, both of which were cooked by the staff! The monjayaki had a satisfying volume compared to other restaurants, and I was very happy with just that! The okonomiyaki was also very delicious!

Visited on a Friday night. It is recommended to make a reservation as it was full of reserved customers. The seating capacity is very limited. The popular monjayaki with cod roe was delicious. Other monjayaki dishes were also tasty, but compared to other restaurants, it was average. The seating is not spacious as it is a monjayaki restaurant. If you want to relax, it may be better to go to a different restaurant.

If you're heading to Tsukishima to eat monjayaki with your precious junior who has come from northern Ibaraki, then Nishiki is the place to go! Tsukishima has changed quite a bit, but the monjayaki at Nishiki has always been consistently delicious. I'll definitely go back again. If you're unsure which restaurant to go to, you can't go wrong with Nishiki!

I made a reservation and went to eat monjayaki even after the pandemic. The restaurant is located on Monja Street, which is very lively. The monjayaki was delicious, and the other side dishes were also flavorful and satisfying.

I felt like having some okonomiyaki and sauce, so I visited Tsukishima. It was a lively Sunday afternoon, and the restaurant was packed by noon, with customers even lining up outside. I ordered monjayaki with additional toppings like rice cakes and Baby Star Ramen. The combination of hot monjayaki from the iron griddle and Hoppy beer was perfect! I ended up drinking too much. Monjayaki alone wasn't enough, so I had to order okonomiyaki as well. I topped it generously with sauce and mayonnaise. Thank you for the meal!

The restaurant assigns one staff member to each table, from seating to payment. The food is tasty but not as good as Kansai-style okonomiyaki. In terms of cost performance, it feels slightly expensive.

I went to try Monja at Tsukishima for the first time. I chose the 1st place Mochi Mentaiko and the 2nd place Ishikari Monja from the top 10 popular rankings. Mochi Mentaiko is a must-try with its delicious taste on the hot plate. Personally, I loved the rich flavor of Ishikari Monja, with the combination of miso and butter. I got hooked on it. Also, the way the staff at the restaurant carefully and smoothly made the Monja was mesmerizing. I definitely want to come back for more! Thank you for the meal.

Visited around noon on Saturday. There are dozens of Monja-yaki shops lined up on Monja Street, and this shop is one of them. I ordered the original dish, Mentaiko Cheese Monja, as it is said to be the birthplace of this dish. The staff cooked it for me, and there was more Mentaiko than I expected, so I was able to enjoy the popping texture until the end. The Mexican Monja had a taco-like seasoning, topped with cheese at the end. Despite feeling quite full by the second dish, I managed to finish it all. It was a Monja-yaki experience that left me completely satisfied until the end.

Monja-yaki and Okonomiyaki are hard to distinguish in taste, but this place is authentic. It's a long-established restaurant in the area where you can eat delicious food in abundance. Despite its small size due to being a long-standing establishment, it's a great place. It's a restaurant that makes you want to visit again and again.

At Tsunagi, where dishes like okonomiyaki and monjayaki are typically considered traditional, prices exceeding 1500 yen per dish have become the norm in Tsukishima today. However, at this restaurant, you can enjoy okonomiyaki for under 1000 yen. The monjayaki is also generously filled with ingredients. I decided to try the original dish, the mentaiko mochi monja, and was pleased to receive a large portion with two big mentaiko pieces. The mentaiko was full of texture and flavor, making it delicious. The whole squid yakisoba was also impressive, with a large whole squid served. The oysters were big and flavorful. The staff were kind and skillfully cooked the dishes despite the busy restaurant. They also made sure to check the heat of the teppan regularly. I will definitely be coming back again.

In Tokyo Tsukishima, there is a shopping street called Monja Street where about 80 specialty stores are lined up. Monjayaki is a local delicacy where various ingredients such as cabbage are stir-fried on a hot plate with water-diluted wheat flour, creating a ring-shaped embankment, into which the batter is poured and thinly cooked. Each Monja shop in Tsukishima offers its own original Monjayaki with unique flavors. When it comes to Monjayaki, Mochi Mentaiko is a must-try! Tonight, I visited "Monja-yaki Nishiki," the birthplace of Mochi Mentaiko, after not being able to go there due to the pandemic for a long time. Enjoyed Monjayaki to the fullest.

Monjayaki is especially delicious to eat in cold weather and goes well with beer or hoppy! Thank you for the delicious meal. ★Due to a mistake in the store's listing, it has been reposted.

I visited the Monja Street in Tsukishima after a long time. The street was lit up at night, with almost all the restaurants full of customers. People were waiting outside the restaurants as well, showing that the food and beverage establishments were fully back in business. On this day, I went to "Nishiki," which has a history of 45 years. It is located in the third block along the Monja Street, with colorful curtains as a landmark. The seating consists of six 4-person box seats in a cozy and homey atmosphere. Orders are placed using a tablet on the table. I started with ordering a beer and then looked at the menu, which had a variety of options like monja, teppanyaki, and appetizers. The must-order item was the popular "Mochi Mentaiko," which is a staple monja dish that originated here at Nishiki. The dish arrived with cabbage, yakisoba, mochi, and mentaiko on top. We had the option to cook it ourselves, but we asked the staff to do it for us. The dish had a light and satisfying taste, with the popping sensation of mentaiko. Feeling adventurous, we ordered two more monja dishes that were not on the menu but were gladly made by the staff upon request. One was the "Hawaiian Garlic Shrimp," with shrimp, cabbage, yakisoba, garlic, butter, and lemon. The combination of garlic and lemon was delightful. The other was the "Ebi Kura Special" with cheese topping, consisting of pork, octopus, mochi, curry powder, and cheese. The octopus flavor combined with the cheese was delicious. We also tried the "Monja-style Cabbage Salad," "Mushroom Butter Yaki," and "Jerk Pork." I had the impression that monja dishes were heavy in flavor, but they turned out to be light and easy to eat. They paired well with beer and lemon sour. I realized the secret of their popularity once again.

Please look at the beauty of the original mochi mentaiko ✨ and the consistently delicious taste! It's a beloved restaurant that my family often visits, and when I went with a friend, they praised the food saying they had never had anything so delicious before, which made me happy too. The grilled dishes are also delicious, especially the pork belly! I will definitely go back again!

Today is Saturday afternoon, and I spent some time killing time before the main sushi restaurant with a sushi snack. How happy I am~ The first place we went to was a sushi restaurant that we had to wait for 2 and a half hours, and then we had monjayaki. The first monjayaki we tried was cut squid with pickled ginger on top. It was delicious, but I think maybe a little less ginger would be better. However, cut squid monjayaki might be my favorite! The second one we tried was mentaiko and mochi cheese topping. It was a classic and delicious choice. I really like this place, Kinnosuke, where we don't have to wait in a long line. This was my third time visiting, and I will definitely come back again.

Monja Italiano... Tomato & meat sauce with a delicious burnt taste! Mochi mentaiko monja... Highly recommended by the shop! It's delicious with the equivalent of 2 mentaiko! Monja carbonara... This is my favorite! It was so tasty! [Original] Mochi mentaiko monja is still the most popular. Being the birthplace of mochi mentaiko monja, the taste is exceptional. When you visit Monja Nishiki, be sure to try this outstanding dish!

Okonomiyaki is also delicious! Each dish costs around 1,500 to 2,000 yen. There aren't many photos, but when it comes to Tsukishima, you have to try Monjayaki! Every Monjayaki place is delicious, but personally, I was really impressed by the okonomiyaki I had here! While many people prefer fluffy okonomiyaki, I like mine with a firm texture and a crispy exterior. The okonomiyaki at this restaurant was ideal! Having it cooked by the staff is the best way to enjoy it! #Tsukishima #Okonomiyaki #Monjayaki #TokyoGourmet #TsukishimaGourmet #TsukishimaMonjayaki

I went to Monjayaki with my friend on the way home and decided to eat at a restaurant in Tsukishima. We got off at Tsukishima Station after 6 p.m. and walked along Monja Street. The difference between crowded and empty restaurants was quite remarkable. Even the restaurant we thought would be empty was full due to reservations, especially on Fridays. We ended up entering a restaurant without much thought, which claimed to be the birthplace of spicy cod roe monjayaki. We toasted with draft beer and tried the spicy cod roe monjayaki. It was hot from the heat of the hot plate and steam of the monjayaki. It was delicious, especially the parts with rice cakes and spicy cod roe. However, monjayaki somehow feels more like a snack rather than a main dish. I didn't feel like ordering multiple servings until I was full. Next, we ordered okonomiyaki and then left the restaurant. After that, we wanted to relax at a cafe, but everything in Tsukishima closes early except for monjayaki restaurants, so we moved to Ginza. Thank you for the meal.
