I had Monjayaki for the first time in a long time. My husband surprisingly said, "I feel like eating Monjayaki!" so we decided to visit a restaurant. We found a place in Shinjuku on Tabelog that seemed like a good spot for a stroll. My husband had the pork kimchi Monja, while my daughter and I shared the mochi cheese Monja. It seems like there's a technique to shaping it nicely with the spatula so it doesn't fall apart, but it was fun to cook! We enjoyed the hot and delicious Monjayaki. I toasted with a non-alcoholic beer, while my husband had a regular beer. It's safer for the mother not to drink when out with the parents who like to drink. The staff was very kind, and we would love to visit the restaurant again. Next time, I want to try their okonomiyaki too! As we finished eating, they surprised us with a cute shaved ice dessert. It wasn't on the menu, but they said it was a gift. Thank you so much! Maybe it's a service they offer during quiet times on weekdays? My daughter was thrilled and enjoyed the shaved ice.

This is my first visit. Located a 4-5 minute walk from Shinjuku-sanchome Station. I climbed up to the 3rd floor by stairs. Visiting around 2 pm on a weekday, there were only 2 other groups of customers in the empty store. There was one staff member in the kitchen and one in the hall. I had to wait a bit to be seated as the person in front of me was paying. When I was finally seated, there were table seats and counter seats available. I was told to order by scanning the QR code at the table. I ordered the popular Mixed Yaki for 1,430 yen. It was brought to me in about 5 minutes. They told me to scan the QR code to choose how I wanted it cooked. The staff kept telling me to scan the QR code, but they didn't tell me where to find it, so it was a bit of a hassle to order and cook it. The unique cooking method made the egg fluffy and soft, but slightly overcooked. The taste was quite good. The cabbage was diced and sweet and soft. The yam was fluffy, and the bonito flakes and kelp broth were flavorful. There were plenty of pork, shrimp, and squid chunks, although the pork was thin and sparse. It might be a fun lunch to share with friends. It would be nice if they were a bit more friendly with their service. Overall, it was a satisfying meal.

This iron plate assortment seems to be the best in terms of cost performance! If you order this, you can get anything in it. A hungry adult man and woman ordered the iron plate assortment, monja, and modern yaki, and their stomachs were completely full. They were so happy that they felt like they were going to die from starvation, but they were able to eat until they were stuffed.

I remembered how surprisingly delicious the Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki was at Pasutakan in Sagamioono, so I decided to visit the same group's restaurant, Kote Gaeshi, in Shinjuku. I arrived for a late lunch and ordered the Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki for 1530 yen. The dish included meatballs, soba noodles, squid tempura, and shrimp tempura, and was cooked by the staff in the kitchen. Compared to the Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki in Sagamioono, the one at Kote Gaeshi had even thicker batter, which affected the taste. Additionally, the sauce was applied too generously, which ruined the okonomiyaki. It was a bit disappointing.

Shrimp and basil cheese monjayaki (half) 870 yen Pork and kimchi mille-feuille 1180 yen Peach Calpis x2 480 yen each We tried to eat monjayaki at a different place but it was full, so we decided to go to this restaurant instead. The seating was cramped and we couldn't cook everything at once, so we ordered the monjayaki first. However, they said it was only for one person, so we ended up sharing a half portion between two people. It was a bit disappointing. But then we noticed that there were temperature control panels on both sides, and the griddle was divided into two. It had been a while since we had monjayaki and it was delicious. There was a fun table with instructions on how to cook monjayaki and mille-feuille okonomiyaki, and how to draw pictures with mayonnaise. My friend complained of eye irritation because there was no smoke exhaust system. It was nice that we could earn points through the app, and we were able to use the 100 points from the first registration on the same day.

This day was Sunday. It was raining from the morning. It's not bad to have a quiet rainy day when you don't have any particular plans to go outside on a holiday, but it's not good for your health to not walk a little, so I decided to take a walk, combining it with lunch. I wanted to go to Shinjuku to eat a hamburger, so I walked there. The restaurant was located in Kabukicho. Embarrassingly, I have visited Shinjuku many times but have never set foot in Kabukicho. It's not that I'm afraid of being ripped off or getting into trouble, but I often feel like I would regret it more than feel satisfied with the money spent, and also because it's too far away for a drink after work. Even though it was daytime, there were guys calling out on every corner. When I got close to the hamburger shop I wanted to go to, there was a line of about 20 people. I decided it was hopeless and turned back south. As I was walking, I saw a sign for okonomiyaki. Come to think of it, it's been a while since I had okonomiyaki. I climbed the stairs to the 3rd floor of a building and entered the restaurant. Luckily, I was guided to a counter seat by the window. I started with a draft beer. Okonomiyaki has also become more expensive recently. In the old days, it wasn't common for it to cost over 1,000 yen unless it was something special... I like the kind with soba noodles in it, so I ordered the "Pork-Packed Modern Okonomiyaki" for 1,300 yen. I added pickled ginger for 60 yen. I think it's a bit strange to charge extra for things like this, but this restaurant offers various toppings, such as squid and shrimp, and even small garnishes like tempura crumbs and pickled ginger, which gave me a somewhat calculated feeling. The okonomiyaki that was cooked for me was round and beautiful, but this probably means that it was shaped and cooked in a metal frame. In this case, it is extremely difficult to control the evaporation of moisture only in the upper and lower parts of the frame, which means that the moisture can only escape in the parts that fit within the frame. In the case of modern okonomiyaki, the soba noodles are cooked separately and then placed in the frame, but something felt a bit small and blurry, probably because there was a lot of moisture and not enough sauce. I found out at the time of payment that they would give you more sauce if you asked for it, but it was too late. The portion was not that great either. It felt a bit torn!

I chose a location with limited time because my child wanted to eat monjayaki on the weekend. We arrived at 11:30 and they were able to accommodate us until 2:00, even though we didn't make a reservation, which we appreciated. It would be nice if they had a child-friendly atmosphere. We ordered what we wanted from the menu and my child had seconds of kushikatsu. I don't drink alcohol at lunch, so they brought me water without me having to order a drink. I planned to eat quickly and leave when I saw that only half was left, but it was so delicious that I ordered some vegetables to finish off. A new staff member didn't understand, so the loud manager suddenly appeared. It seemed like he was angry, but we were able to communicate and we added more to our order. We finished in an hour and left. Thank you for the meal.

Recently, there are many okonomiyaki restaurants that provide the dish already cooked, but this place allows customers to cook it themselves. Personally, I prefer cooking it myself so it was great. The restaurant is a bit small inside, which was a little concerning, but overall the service was good. Thank you for the meal.

I went for lunch on a regular day. It's a style where you cook your own monjayaki, so it can be difficult if you're not used to it. I ordered the classic mentaiko and seafood monjayaki. The monjayaki and side dishes were all very delicious. It's located right near Shinjuku Station, so it's easy to visit.

I wanted to eat monjayaki, but going all the way to Tsukishima seemed a bit far... So I looked up monjayaki in Shinjuku and found this restaurant. The place was almost full during Saturday lunchtime, but I just managed to get in. I ordered the Mochi Mentaiko Monja and the Seafood Monja, both of which were recommended on the menu! I'm not sure if there is such a thing as "bad tasting monjayaki" in this world, but this place was really delicious. Mentaiko monjayaki is the best, right?

I went to a Monja-yaki restaurant located on the 3rd floor, a 6-minute walk from Shinjuku East Exit. My companion really wanted to eat Monja-yaki, but it was difficult to find one in this area. The restaurant had no elevator, only stairs up to the third floor, which might be tough for elderly or disabled people. Unfortunately, we were seated near a group of students. Where should I go next time when I want to eat Monja-yaki?

I had the following: - Cheese Mentaiko Mille-Feuille Yaki 1300 - Negi-kake Tsukimi no Buta Yaki 1230 - Seafood Negi Yaki 1430 - Hiroshima-style Okonomiyaki Mix 1530 - 200g of rice 200 - 5 drinks (2 draft beers, lemon highball, soft drink) Details: - Cheese Mentaiko Mille-Feuille Yaki: A voluminous dish with rice cakes and cheese. The mentaiko is strong and salty, goes well with rice or with ponzu sauce. - Negi-kake Tsukimi no Buta Yaki: Fluffy omelette with plenty of cabbage. - Seafood Negi Yaki: Seafood inside the omelette, with a strong egg flavor. - Hiroshima-style Okonomiyaki Mix: Hiroshima-style with flour bonito instead of flower bonito. Soba noodles inside, generous portion, but the sauce makes you crave rice. - 200g of rice: Goes well with the Cheese Mentaiko dish. Overall, the lunch was enjoyable with good company. The restaurant was not crowded, but there is a 2-hour time limit. The staff could have informed us about the lunch set with drinks and salad available for the same price as just the drink at night. Reservation not required, visited right after opening, 5-minute wait to be seated. Had a great time with my friends. Thank you for the meal!

Soon turning 55 on August 1st and feeling like having a drink in the afternoon. Looking for a place around the top of Shinjuku Subnade. The second floor seems to be a casual Italian restaurant, while the third floor offers teppanyaki. It seems like both places have changed their names since my last visit. Today, I think I'll go for the teppanyaki option. As I climb the stairs, I notice that there is a connection between the second and third floors. Perhaps they are affiliated restaurants? Ordered a shochu highball with umeboshi sour, fried takoyaki, and coarse ground sausage. The shochu highball is not too strong. I decide to switch the umeboshi for a less sour taste, but the umeboshi doesn't bring much acidity. I also ordered okonomiyaki and monjayaki, although I wasn't really in the mood for them. I start with the takoyaki, which comes topped with a larger size of bonito flakes than the ones on the table. The sauce is on the sweeter side. The sausage comes with bones in it and is being grilled on a ceramic plate. It is sizzling and topped with salmon roe.

The first place didn't work out, and the second place always ends up being monjayaki. All the other places had early last orders, so we ended up at this restaurant. Seafood monjayaki and Baby Star monjayaki are safe choices, so now the challenge is how to take a photo that looks delicious. Thank you for the meal!

I met up with my drinking buddies and we all felt like eating Monjayaki, so we decided to go to this restaurant in Shinjuku where we often hang out. There were so many different types of Monjayaki to choose from, but we ended up ordering ones with ingredients like mentaiko, mochi, cheese, and seafood. There were also various other dishes available, as shown in the pictures. Of course, we also enjoyed beers and highballs with our meal. The restaurant had a 2-hour time limit, so after we finished, we went on to the next place for more drinks. It cost around 4500 yen per person.

I tried monjayaki for the first time (since I moved to Kanto six months ago). Thanks to my friend having shareholder benefits, it was practically free, so we visited this monjayaki restaurant, which was surprisingly affordable. The course was 3500 yen per person (excluding tax). It would have been even better if they had pickled ginger... It seems like my friend still has a lot of shareholder benefits left, so I will visit again if I have the chance, haha.

My friend from Fukuoka came to Tokyo and wanted to eat "monja," so I looked up a convenient place in Shinjuku San-chome. I found this place that was described as "Edo-style," so I thought it must be very Tokyo-like. However, they also had Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki and Hakata-style mentaiko monja. In the end, even though my friend was from Fukuoka, we ended up ordering the Hakata-style mentaiko and rolled omelette. The monja had a rich flavor and was delicious. You can cook your own okonomiyaki and monja at this restaurant. The interior had decorations with an Edo-style theme, giving it a tourist-friendly vibe.

Let's eat monjayaki! I was invited by a friend, and instead of Tsukishima, we decided to go to Shinjuku because I didn't feel like moving. We went to "Kotegaeshi," a restaurant affiliated with "Pasutakan." They had a wide variety of dishes like okonomiyaki, Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki, monjayaki, teppanyaki... you name it. This is Shinjuku for you. They have everything as long as they have a hot plate. We ordered dishes like "Mentaiko Cheese Mayo Okonomiyaki," "Seafood Monja with Salted Butter," "Mentaiko Cheese Mochi Monja," and "Pork Yakisoba." My friend, who is a skilled cook, made them beautifully. The taste was decent, considering the variety available in Shinjuku. One thing that caught my attention was the service. The order of dishes was a bit off, with the same menu arriving at different times for neighboring tables, and they brought out okonomiyaki before teppanyaki or appetizers. They even started mentioning the bill before we finished ordering. It seemed like they were not following the usual rules. If you want to casually gather around a hot plate with friends, it might be worth a try. Personally, I might still go to Tsukishima next time...

I taught a friend how to make monjayaki for the first time, and then they made it themselves. We ordered the 90-minute all-you-can-eat monja course with drinks included, which was quite a good deal! You can also add additional toppings for an extra charge, so you can customize your dish and be satisfied. The prices are reasonable, so now we have another place to go when we feel like eating monja. Although you can only have about three types of monja at a time, next time I'll try ordering okonomiyaki or other items individually. Since alcoholic drinks were included in the drink menu, it's really a great deal for those who can drink!

Student course for 2500 yen, 2 okonomiyaki, 1 monjayaki, pork yakisoba, all you can drink alcohol included - the cost performance was amazing. You can choose from about 4 types of okonomiyaki and monjayaki, they were fluffy and delicious. The temperature of the teppan was adjustable, and there were a lid and hourglass for easy cooking. The all-you-can-drink menu had beer, sours, and cocktails, with quick service. It was affordable, not crowded, and we were able to relax and enjoy ourselves. Perfect for a date or a casual gathering. I definitely want to come back!

On Sundays, everyone went to Okonomiyaki & Monjayaki Kotogae Shi for a treat ⚠︎ The restaurant is on the third floor, so be prepared to climb stairs. They offer a variety of drinks, including alcohol, soft drinks, and large mugs for easy drinking. The Camembert cheese okonomiyaki is highly recommended, with grated yam that makes it light and fluffy. Sitting around the hot plate, we were able to relax and enjoy the cozy atmosphere. Thank you for the delicious meal.
