I went on a Friday night after 8 pm. It wasn't crowded at all, the service was quick from ordering to serving, and of course the food was delicious and satisfying. The amount of sauce was just right, not too spicy, and I enjoyed it until the end. I would like to go again.

I shared a meal at Senbou in the 6th floor restaurant area of Takatsuki Hankyu. We ordered cabbage-filled yakisoba (¥1080) with rolled egg (¥330), "Nukarumi-yaki" (¥850) with green onions (¥200), Senbou salad (¥800), and Sapporo draft beer (¥620). It was delicious! Thank you for the meal.

Visit in August 2021, posted on August 20th (all information is from the visit) (prices include tax): One evening, I didn't feel like cooking, so I declared to my husband, who dislikes eating out, that we would dine out. We chose this restaurant. We arrived around 6:30 pm on a Saturday. Despite being usually crowded, due to the state of emergency, there were few customers. The table griddle was for keeping the food warm, and the dishes were brought to us once cooked. The selection of alcoholic drinks was tough for me, but no worries because they had non-alcoholic options! I ordered: - Non-alcoholic Highball Taste Drink for ¥420. The dishes we ordered were: - Mabodofu with water eggplant for ¥550, a perfect summer teppanyaki dish with resilient eggplant that was delicious. - Summer Okonomiyaki for ¥1380, a seasonal limited dish with pork, tomato, and curry powder. The generous cheese sauce and okonomiyaki sauce paired perfectly, with a fluffy and thick texture. The curry flavor was mild, and you could adjust the taste with additional curry powder and fried onions. - Mix Yaki for ¥1380. My husband prefers sticking to classic dishes, but I wanted to try something different. It was a bit pricey, but we could enjoy unique creative dishes and watch the finishing touch of the mayo beam.

After a long time, I visited Senbou at Takatsuki Hankyu Department Store's restaurant floor with my family of four. They had a teppanyaki grill at the table, so they provided an extra towel to shield my two-year-old from it - I appreciated this thoughtful gesture! The must-try dishes were the Butatama (pork and egg) dish, Senbou-yaki, and yakisoba. As a unique choice, we also ordered the Negi Salad and crispy gyoza. The Negi Salad was delicious with its crunchy green onions, onions, and cabbage or daikon, paired perfectly with the sesame dressing - I want to order this every time now! The crispy gyoza was a hit with the kids, and we ended up finishing a half portion quickly. Each gyoza was on the smaller side. The yakisoba was as tasty as ever, especially with the addition of the spicy sauce on the table - I love adding that to my noodles! The okonomiyaki was consistently good. It had been a few years since I last had their takeout, but the quality of the food and service at Senbou has remained excellent. Thank you for the meal!

I was guided by a friend in Osaka to try this restaurant. The okonomiyaki here is really delicious. Osaka's okonomiyaki is truly different from others! The portion size is quite big, but it's so tasty that you end up finishing it all. There were various menu options, so I would like to visit again.

I wandered around Takatsuki without knowing what to eat, and ended up going to Senbou to eat okonomiyaki and yakisoba. It was my first time at Senbou, and I was surprised that it was even more delicious than I had imagined! I started with a beer and ended with a Mega Highball. The okonomiyaki was fluffy and delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I went to Chibo for lunch after my regular eye exam. It was just before noon, so I thought I could get in without waiting. I arrived around 11:55 am on a weekday, and fortunately, there was no line at any restaurant, including Chibo. I was seated at a two-person table this time, and I ordered the "Nukarumi Yaki" for 787 yen (excluding tax). I also ordered a "Kuro Magame" for 630 yen to enjoy on the rocks. Although the menu had a "Mixed Yaki" for 1,300 yen, I found out about the "Nukarumi Yaki" from the secret menu, which led to my order. Before the food arrived, I was served the shochu, and I savored the taste of Kuro Magame after a long time. After waiting for about 20 minutes, the Nukarumi Yaki was brought to the table, and I was asked if I wanted mayonnaise and sauce. I decided to leave it to them and realized I forgot to take photos. So, I quickly took one or two pictures before digging in. The first bite of the Nukarumi Yaki impressed me with Chibo's refined taste and texture, but I felt it needed a bit more kick. I tried the extremely spicy sauce, but it wasn't as spicy as expected. Then I added some Shichimi spice, which brought it closer to my preference. The texture of the shrimp and squid was a nice touch. I ordered another Kuro Magame and enjoyed the meal for about 50 minutes. I used a 10% discount from Gurunavi for the payment and left the restaurant satisfied.

This is the restaurant floor at Seibu Takatsuki store. From 2019, it seems to be changing to "Takatsuki Hankyu." Ordered the negi salad and ika tamago. Didn't pay attention to the overflowing ●● yaki. Keeping it simple. No mayo allowed. Keeping it simple. The negi salad was like "hmm?" Seems like the dressing has changed. A bit heavy. The ika tamago, excellent! Classic taste of Osaka's flour dishes. Thank you for the meal.

In front of Takatsuki Station, there is a Seibu Department Store. I mean! On the 6th floor of the Hankyu Department Store's restaurant floor, there is a okonomiyaki restaurant called Senbou. (Just the other day, the Seibu Department Store in Takatsuki changed to Hankyu Department Store lol) By the way, did you know that you can get takeout from Senbou? I didn't know. I'm not sure if you can do it at any store, sorry. When I asked a family member who came to stay at my home from a distance what they wanted to eat to entertain them, they said okonomiyaki. But they were coming back from Wakayama. So I called just in case, and surprisingly, they do it very easily! They do. Okonomiyaki, yakisoba, and Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki can be taken out. (I heard that on the phone, so I ordered all of them) Mixed okonomiyaki, mixed yakisoba, and Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki for takeout. On this day, it was fine to call 30 minutes in advance. (around 8 pm on Sunday) You can enjoy the reliable Senbou quality at home! Delicious and happy♪ Please use it if you can! Thank you for the meal!

Visited in June 2018, posted on June 30th (all information is from the time of the visit) (prices are all excluding tax) - Finally, all the restaurants in Seibu Takatsuki Restaurant Street have reopened. I went to eat with my husband at "Senbou". Since it was a "party of two", we ordered the "Great Value Pair Set" for ¥3,640. It includes dishes that you wouldn't order alone. The Daikon Salad is a specialty and the Tonpei Yaki is half-cooked and creamy. The Mixed Yakisoba has thick noodles, a sweet seasoning, and plenty of ingredients, but with less cabbage. The Dotombori Yaki has 5 different fillings, each in small portions, so it doesn't feel too heavy. It's recommended for couples who find it troublesome to decide on what to order and don't talk much. The Mayo Beam performance by the staff in front of you is amazing. *This is from the blog "Photo version - Gourmet Chief's Almost Takatsuki Gourmet Guide".

Visited in November 2017, posted on November 29th (all information is from the time of the visit) (prices are all excluding tax) - Had lunch at "Senbou" in the restaurant area on the 6th floor of Seibu Takatsuki store while shopping. I arrived around 11 AM on a weekday, and the seats quickly filled up. I noticed that the traditional Japanese seating area was gone. It seems they have set up four tables for two people each, maybe to accommodate solo diners. Good news for those who don't like sitting at the counter? The service was polite, and a warm cloth was handed to me while being seated. The hot plate was indeed hot, and condiments were ready on the side. Since April 1st, they have changed their business hours, with a break time during weekdays. Completely non-smoking all day. Looking at the menu, I noticed a collaboration with "Kanefuku." The spiciness, fresh mentaiko bursting in your mouth, and the savory sauce mixing with the soba rice are a perfect match! I also found the Shiratama Gyoza Maki for 580 yen intriguing. The yakisoba menu offers 8 options ranging from 790 to 1480 yen. Extra-large size is available for an additional 250 yen. There are four affordable lunch sets available for 1167 yen each. The lunch special beer for 200 yen is a great deal! But since I was avoiding driving, I settled for juice instead. The special mixed juice for 350 yen is a thick type preferred by people in Kansai, smooth and delicious. The November-December limited Mentaiko Sobameshi for 1180 yen includes shredded mentaiko, fried egg, green onion, and pickled ginger. The overall portion is average, might not be satisfying for men. The mentaiko is only on top of the fried egg, not mixed inside or served separately. The taste of the mentaiko is only on the fried egg, not spread throughout the soba rice. The soba rice is just plain, lacking in mentaiko flavor. However, it includes some meat-like ingredients with a sweet seasoning, which goes quite well with the soba rice. The staff recommended adding mayonnaise, which indeed made it tastier. They also serve hot hojicha tea after the meal. In conclusion, the Mentaiko Sobameshi may not offer good value for money and lacks mentaiko flavor, but it is still tasty.

Revisiting a restaurant with my family who uses a wheelchair for a change of pace, this time with my husband as well. Despite it being past 5 pm during the New Year holiday, the restaurant area at Seibu Takatsuki store was quiet. However, there was one lively restaurant that we decided to try. We didn't have to wait at all before being seated, haha. We ordered: - Cabbage Yakisoba (large portion) for 1030 yen (tax included) - Rich Yakisoba for 950 yen - Topped with squid and potatoes for 990 yen - Mixed Yakisoba for 1060 yen - Thick-cut bacon steak for 580 yen - Pork okonomiyaki for 480 yen - Crispy teppanyaki dumplings for 410 yen - Draft beer for 480 yen - Highball for 420 yen The total bill came to 6912 yen including tax, and we spent a little over an hour there. The food was delicious, and we had a great time. My husband doesn't drink, so I had both glasses of alcohol. I forgot to try the new Osaka flour sweets, which I regret. Overall, the food was tasty, and the atmosphere was enjoyable. We had a great time and left with full stomachs.

It had been a while since my family had lunch out together, and when I asked my father for his preference, he said he wanted to eat okonomiyaki, so we came to "Senbou" restaurant. It was around 11:30 on a Saturday, and the seats were starting to fill up. The menu had options like Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki, negiyaki, modern-yaki, and more, all looking delicious and making it hard to choose. We ordered the Hiroshima-style Okonomiyaki Mix (1230 yen), which had pork, shrimp, squid, and soba noodles mixed in. It was more like modern-yaki than Hiroshima-style, and the mayonnaise design on top was very appetizing. We also ordered the Omusoba (1130 yen), which had pork and squid in an omelette over fried noodles. The portions were decent, and the yakisoba was tasty. Okonomiyaki is fun to eat because everyone shares and eats together, which makes it even more delicious. By noon, there were already customers waiting, so I recommend visiting early on weekends.

2014.6 Revisited after a long time and found various minor changes. A new menu item "Half-fried noodles" has been introduced. I tried the "Golden Pork Ball" collaboration with a famous brand of pork from all over the country. It's called "Wanokaton'ya Sohachi". Of course, I couldn't tell the difference in taste between the pork belly with plenty of okonomiyaki sauce and the half-fried noodles pork. Well, it was delicious. That's all. 2013.2 Revisited Seibu Takatsuki for shopping. Too lazy to go outside, so we had lunch at the 6th-floor restaurant area. Wanted to try something new, but my wife wanted okonomiyaki. Ordered pork yakisoba, negiyaki, and teppan gyoza. Since we have a child, the dishes arrived without the teppan. The waitress drew a picture with mayonnaise for the child, which turned out a bit awkward, but our child was excited. The taste was satisfying, but recently, the shapes of the okonomiyaki and negiyaki seem a bit clumsy. The distribution of ingredients within a single piece also seemed uneven. With a 10% off coupon from Gurunavi. 2012.7 Revisited, ordered the Soba Meshi (thinly flavored) for 930 yen. The potatoes in it were hard, almost raw. The rice was poorly distributed, with a lump of white rice the size of a rice ball inside. Visited with my wife and child at 11:30 on July 1st. You can understand. The person who made it should reflect on it. Otherwise, everything was normal as before. 2012.6 Revisited with my child now standing, and avoided teppan hotplate restaurants. Came here with the teppan off option. Ordered pork ball, soba meshi, and draft beer. Requested half the sauce on the pork ball and a lighter flavor on the soba meshi, which they happily accommodated. Thanks to that, the child also had a nicely seasoned meal. Adults adjusted the flavor with the table sauce. Even with the teppan off, the food stayed warm, making it easy for families with children. 2011.11 Revisited at 11:30. Seated in the tatami area as usual. It was crowded today, and we had to decide quickly. Ordered Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki (pork), negi shio-dare soba meshi, and pork kimchi. Even though it was lunchtime, we also had beer (laughs). The Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki was delicious, but the soba meshi was a big mistake. While other okonomiyaki and yakisoba menus listed the ingredients (pork, tendon, sakura shrimp, etc.), the soba meshi we ordered this time had no detailed description on the menu. I cannot eat shrimp due to allergies, but it was filled with sakura shrimp. I had to painstakingly remove each shrimp with chopsticks so my wife could eat it. Original (2011.8) Located in the Seibu Takatsuki restaurant floor. You may need to wait during lunchtime. We were with a baby, so we went early at 11:30 and got in smoothly. Seibu Takatsuki has a good selection of baby products (mainly Akachan Honpo), so I think the restaurant floor is also well-equipped for babies. The restaurant has table seats and tatami seats. This time we went for tatami with the folded baby stroller. Our infant (7 months old) likes to roll around. Checking the website, it seems that the table seats can also accommodate a baby stroller (by removing one seat). My wife and I shared the pork ball, negi salt yakisoba, and tonpei. I had a beer on the side, and it was delicious. By the way, the "Modern Yaki" here is different from other stores, so be careful. It wraps the yakisoba in a fluffy dough. If you think of it as an omelet with a lot of yakisoba inside, you might get the idea. I made a mistake once by ordering the Modern Yaki without knowing and sharing it with the yakisoba, which was a nightmare (laughs). The prices are a bit higher in famous chain stores, with most okonomiyaki dishes costing over 1000 yen. The CP might be a bit low in that regard...

Takatsuki Seibu's restaurant street. It gets crowded from dinner time until around 8pm. I decided to try a different restaurant out of curiosity, besides Fugetsu. The tatami room was available, but we had to wait for a table. An elderly couple who arrived later chose the tatami room first. We ordered the regular pork yakisoba, oyster balls, and crunchy daikon salad. The yakisoba had a sweeter sauce compared to Fugetsu, but it was quite delicious. The okonomiyaki was mochi-like and fluffy, similar to homemade okonomiyaki. However, the sauce was different from the yakisoba, being spicy. It was interesting. Although Fugetsu is my usual go-to, I still prefer it over this place.

When I return to Osaka, I always visit Senbo. I prefer takoyaki, but my mother loves okonomiyaki, so we always end up going there. Senbo has different types of restaurants, and the one in Takatsuki Seibu has a more casual atmosphere, which I like. There is also a Senbo in Chiba Sogo, which is a bit more upscale and offers A5 grade steak. Everything is delicious, but as an ordinary Osaka resident, I prefer the relaxed atmosphere of Takatsuki. Today, I had the Takatsuki-style okonomiyaki for 1180 yen, which was a bit sweeter than usual, and also had yakisoba. The yakisoba here is slightly spicier than usual and is recommended. I usually have dishes like chicken gizzards or Caesar salad (mostly boiled eggs), and even though I only come here once a year, it seems like the menu has slightly changed. The prices seem a bit higher this time, but the taste is still reliably delicious. I will definitely stop by again when I return to Takatsuki.

I visited the restaurant on Sunday afternoon. I waited outside for a while before entering. I placed my order while waiting in line. However, the food took a long time to come out... I waited for about 20 minutes. Even though it was a busy holiday, waiting for 20 minutes after entering seems a bit too long. The teppanyaki grill kept getting hotter and hotter... There were about three staff members cleaning up, but it seemed like they weren't able to help with cooking. There were customers with children, so the long wait time increases the risk of burns. The okonomiyaki was very delicious. I had the pork and cabbage one. It's nice that you can add your own mayonnaise and sauce. However, for the price, the size seems a bit small. Men might want to order the large size. Also, it seemed like the okonomiyaki had been sitting for a while because the bottom was a bit tough (difficult to cut). I was satisfied with the taste. For a chain restaurant serving okonomiyaki, this price range may be expected. Therefore, I would like them to shorten the waiting time a bit.

We went with a friend in the late afternoon around 4 o'clock. On the 6th floor of Seibu. It wasn't lunchtime, and it was still early for dinner, but the table seats were full. Is it okay to sit in the tatami room, it's not a sunken kotatsu, the polite guidance was to take off our shoes and sit in the tatami room. We ordered Chibo-yaki and tonpei-yaki. The tonpei-yaki came out quickly, but we waited quite a bit for the Chibo-yaki. Maybe because everyone had just entered the store. Since there weren't many people eating, it's understandable to wait. The okonomiyaki that came out after waiting was filled with ingredients (pork, squid, shrimp, octopus, beef). The base was very fluffy and melty, and it was incredibly delicious. The freshly ground mild mayonnaise and sauce added to the delicious taste. I thought it might be too much to eat, but it was so light and tasty that I quickly finished it. The tonpei-yaki was fluffy with egg, and the pork was tender and delicious. We often make okonomiyaki at home, but the taste of a professional is really good. The menu had a picture of a shrimp with head, so I ordered to have the head removed. When they brought it, I couldn't see the shrimp, so I asked the staff, "I asked you to remove only the head of the shrimp, but is it in there?" The staff replied, "Yes." However, I couldn't find the shrimp until the end. When I checked the payment slip, it said "No shrimp". So, was the shrimp actually removed? Even though I confirmed, this was a bit disappointing. I asked them to remove the head of the shrimp because it was troublesome, but it was a mistake.

It's great to get a 15% discount coupon at a restaurant listed on Gurunavi. The pork okonomiyaki starts at 830 yen, but I recommend trying the more expensive options like the mixed or seafood okonomiyaki for 1280 yen. They have generous amounts of ingredients and taste delicious. Adding egg and green onions as toppings (for an additional 200 yen) gives it a unique flavor and makes it even more enjoyable.
