Today's lunch was at "Chobochobo Main Store" in Kyoto, located on the corner of Sannouji Street in Minami Ward. It is a teppanyaki restaurant with a nostalgic and charming exterior. I confirmed that they offer regular set meals and decided to go in. Inside, there is a counter in front of the teppan grill, table seating, and even a tatami room in the back. The lunch menu includes teppanyaki dishes and noodles. In addition to regular set meals, they have unique options like the "Han Pork Set Meal + Choboyaki" for 1700 yen. I ordered this, which came with a hamburger and tonkatsu. I was a bit surprised during payment as I misunderstood that the Choboyaki would be included in the set meal for an additional 300 yen. The teppan grill in front of me was used to cook okonomiyaki and hamburgers. A pot of demi-glace sauce was being warmed as well. First, the Han Pork Set Meal arrived, followed by the Choboyaki. The bean sprout side dish had a hint of curry flavor, which was a nice touch. The hamburger was small but thick, with a noticeable meaty texture. The tonkatsu was thin but came in two pieces, generously topped with sauce. The Choboyaki was made from shabu-shabu dough cooked on the teppan grill, about one-third the size of an okonomiyaki. It had a crispy exterior and a chewy interior, seasoned with soy sauce and filled with flavored konjac and dashi broth. It was a place where you could enjoy various creatively crafted dishes.

I had some business in Kujyo, Kyoto and was looking for a nearby lunch spot. I had been curious about Chobochobo ever since passing by in the morning. But when I walked by during lunchtime, the ramen shop in front had a long line! Oh man... But I've been craving okonomiyaki since the morning. But there's a line. I wonder if it's really good... No, today I'll go to Chobochobo! I'll come back another time for ramen! For lunch, the okonomiyaki shop offers various set meals at a good price. But I'll stick to my craving for okonomiyaki... Their specialty, Chobo-yaki for 600 yen, is like a mix of monjayaki and takoyaki. It's delicious, yes. And then there's the special Manbo-yaki with beef tendon for 900 yen. I think... it was around 1,500 yen for two people. Thank you for the meal.

I was looking for a place to eat katsu udon and happened to come across the sign for it while out for a walk. I found a colleague to join me and we visited the restaurant together. The restaurant had counter seating, table seating, and even tatami seating. You could also come alone and sit at the counter. We ordered various dishes including: - Morning-ground chicken sashimi yukke with a rich egg yolk on top. The yukke was delicious and had a nice texture. - Betayaki (Kyoto-style), which was similar to okonomiyaki but with a stronger sauce flavor. It had a crispy texture that I enjoyed. - Hormone yaki (salt), a mix of hormone and onions. It was simply delicious and made for a great snack. - Katsu udon, with ordinary noodles but a delicious soup made from oil katsu that had a rich umami and sweetness. It also had bamboo shoots as a topping. Be careful, as the bowl is quite hot. Overall, the hormone dishes were all tasty and I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys hormone dishes. I will definitely be coming back again.

Kyoto Kujo "Chobochobo" for lunch On this day, I was near Kyoto Station during the day and researched lunch options. I've been into okonomiyaki lately, so I was looking for a good place to eat and "Chobochobo" was on my list of places to visit. I arrived by car and the dedicated parking lot was full, but I was allowed to park in front of the store, which was very kind of them. Surprisingly, the atmosphere was chic. I had imagined a quaint okonomiyaki shop with a traditional downtown feel, but it was unexpectedly calm and chic. They had a variety of seating options including counter seats, table seats, and sunken kotatsu seats, which seemed very convenient. We opted for a table seat. We seemed to be the last customers for lunch and had the place to ourselves. Chobo-yaki (600 yen) Before the okonomiyaki, we ordered the specialty Chobo-yaki. It's an original flour dish made with beef tendons, konjac, chikuwa, and pickles cooked in a soft dough. Although we were at a table seat and couldn't see it, they cook it on a copper griddle over charcoal. It may look plain, but it was delicious. The soft dough had a rich broth flavor, and the finely chopped ingredients provided a variety of textures. Makes you want to have some drinks in the afternoon! Special Manbo-yaki (Hormone Tamago) (800 yen) The master is from the Kyoto Station area, so this dish is called "Manbo-yaki" (which has been traditionally called Manbo-yaki in the Kyoto Station area). It's a slightly spicy sauce with noodles packed tightly for a satisfying Manbo-yaki. You can also have the egg cooked to half-done. Yakisoba (Kashiwa) (600 yen) It's a classic yakisoba, but it's quite rare to have "Kashiwa" (chicken) in it. It was a nostalgic taste of yakisoba. Other menu items In addition to okonomiyaki, there are other lunch menu options available. Be sure to try the Chobo-yaki!

Ordered the Single Chu and Chobo Special Set. The salad, beef sinew, chobo steak, pork belly steak, and potato fries were all plentiful. The chobo steak and pork belly steak came already seasoned, so they were left as is. Personally, I felt that having okonomiyaki sauce would have been nice since the flavors were similar. I noticed on the menu that they had mikan water, but when I asked for it later, they said it wasn't available today. Although I was full, I couldn't help but feel that ordering individual items instead of the set might have been a better choice.

I visited this restaurant for the first time to have a light meal. The interior had a counter, tables, and tatami seating. I arrived before 7 pm and was seated in the tatami area, where I ordered the specialty Chobo-yaki and Hosoyaki yakisoba with Hormone and oil kasu topping. The Chobo-yaki arrived first and was fluffy with firm konjac, very delicious! The Hosoyaki was small with onions and a salt flavor, tasting like pre-made salt sauce. I'm not a fan of raw Hormone, so I didn't try it, but others said it was delicious. The yakisoba I ordered took an hour to arrive, but it was worth the wait and the most delicious dish. Personally, I wished it had bonito flakes. The food was good, but the service was slow with long waits for orders and drink refills. It would be better if they served the yakisoba first before saying goodbye to customers. Recommended for those with plenty of time to spare.

I had some business near Kyoto Station and wanted to eat okonomiyaki for dinner, so I looked up a place that seemed good and went there. When we entered, there were still seats available, but it quickly became full, so we were lucky. We ordered the specialty choboyaki, yakisoba, and a few other dishes. The choboyaki was delicious, it's like okonomiyaki but not quite, maybe because it has dashi in it? It's hard to explain, but it was really tasty! The only downside was that it took quite a while to be served since there's only one person working, but the delicious taste made us forget about the wait!

"I felt like eating Choboyaki, so I quickly went to have some. I had 2 pieces of Choboyaki, yakisoba, and I had bakudan while my husband had oolong tea. I usually make Choboyaki at home to my liking, but the taste of the Choboyaki here is something I can't replicate at home. It was delicious and crispy. Thank you for the meal. Choboyaki is a dish with pickled radish, konjac, and fish cake inside, seasoned with soy sauce and shichimi. Originally, it is cooked in a small Choboyaki-specific mold. Here, it is made in the size of okonomiyaki instead of the traditional small size."

I discovered a shop in the neighborhood of my new place and decided to check it out. Inside, there were tables and a raised seating area with other customers, and a couple who appeared to be tourists from Europe or America at the counter. It was an okonomiyaki restaurant (or teppanyaki?) with a variety of menu items that all looked delicious. I ordered okonomiyaki, choboyaki, grilled squid, grilled beef tendon, and salad, along with a glass of red wine. The brand was unknown, but the red wine in the glass was very easy to drink and delicious. The salad was tasty and had a good portion size. Sitting at the counter, I could watch the master cooking on the iron plate, and everything looked so delicious that I wanted to try it all. The choboyaki and okonomiyaki were both delicious, but the standout was the grilled beef tendon cut into bite-sized pieces with cabbage, which was extremely delicious. It had plenty of finely chopped Kujyo green onions on top and had a flavor that went well with rice. To be honest, it was much more delicious than eating a mediocre steak around the area (and at a fraction of the price). It seems the shop is run by a handsome master and a cute and beautiful wife. It's a place I want to become a regular at.

Tonkotsu ramen

Kasu Udon for ¥650.

The Osaka-style soba with Choboyaki topping is delicious.

It's delicious and highly recommended (o^^o) Everything from the choboyaki was delicious♪

I visited after a long time. My main purpose was, of course, the "choboyaki". The choboyaki here is not cooked on a special small iron plate, but it is recreated as a flour-based dish. My husband, who has been eating it since childhood, says that the ingredients and taste are exactly the same as he remembers from the past. I also love this flour-based dish that I had here. The "choboyaki" in "Suehiroshinmachi" is gaining some attention. My husband likes the taste, but he feels that the ingredients are too luxurious. Chobochobo is an okonomiyaki restaurant. They serve Kyoto-style okonomiyaki, as well as Osaka-style okonomiyaki with mixed ingredients, and yakisoba on an iron plate, offering a wide variety of choices. It's not too heavy, and the delicate seasoning is also appealing. It's a recommended restaurant, a bit away from the tourist spots. Thank you for the meal. What I had on this day was a large choboyaki, a large sobameshi, hoso-yaki, draft beer, and mikan water, totaling 3070 yen.========== There is parking space for one car to the east (next to the front light car). There is also a coin parking nearby.

I visited this shop for the first time (#^.^#)゜・*:.。..。.:*・゜゜・*:.。..。.:*・゜ It's a shop facing Sennoshita Street that I've seen many times and was curious about ♬ I was particularly interested in the shop name, Choboyaki❕❕ Here, Choboyaki is cooked like okonomiyaki, not on a dedicated Choboyaki griddle ♪ It didn't have a strong flavor, but it was delicious ('-^*)/ Thank you for the meal (^人^)

I visited the restaurant on a regular night. It's not facing the main street, but it was quite crowded, which surprised me. Everyone seemed to be drinking in groups of a few people. I sat in front of the teppan grill at the counter and ordered tonpei. The owner prepared it calmly. I watched while drinking beer. The person next to me ordered only garlic, which was covered and cooked. Tonpei has onions, wrapped in pork belly and eggs. It was delicious and had a decent portion size. It was good for me who is on a low-carb diet. I left the restaurant in just 30 minutes. I think the bill was 1180 yen with beer. There was also sashimi available. The owner is a skilled craftsman, and his wife is beautiful and friendly. I will definitely visit again.

February 5, 2014, on a weekday night. My husband said, "I want to eat choboyaki," so we visited the restaurant for the third time. We ordered the Chobo Toku Set Mambo (squid) - I had a draft beer, and my husband had water. We always seem to order the same thing, but maybe it's because the set menu offers a good deal. There were two groups of customers when we arrived and one group came in later. Thank you for the meal. August 12, revisited the restaurant. We arrived before 7 pm on a weekday, and there were no other customers. However, a few people came to pick up their takeout orders. It felt like a neighborhood favorite spot. This time, we ordered the "Chobo Toku Set" that seemed like a good deal. The set included salad, sujiyaki, pork pay, potato fries, and choboyaki. We also ordered yakisoba (pork & squid), ginger ale, draft beer, and blueberry liquor. The meal started with edamame. The total cost for my husband and me was 4330 yen. The salad had grated radish with ponzu dressing, which was refreshing and delicious. The pork pay had a good balance of cabbage sweetness. The yakisoba portion was a bit small, more like a side dish for drinks. If you want a substantial meal or are dining with a group, it's better to order a large portion or choboyaki yakisoba (for 3 people). The choboyaki was delicious as always. Thank you for the meal. August 18, updated evaluation. June 22, visited the restaurant again. The atmosphere of the place is more like enjoying okonomiyaki while having drinks rather than focusing on the drinks. My husband doesn't drink alcohol, so he's not a fan of izakayas or bars. I suggested going to a choboyaki restaurant because I saw it on Tabelog, and he agreed to go. However, it turned out to be different from the choboyaki he knew, so we ended up ordering regular okonomiyaki and yakisoba. He was excited to try it because he wanted to taste it. It turned out that the taste was very similar to what he remembered from his childhood. It was like a nostalgic B-class gourmet from Minami Ward. Unfortunately, it seems that there are hardly any places that serve this style of choboyaki. The restaurant mentioned that they relocated from Senbon, but it seems that the owner is a true Minami Ward local. I later found out that he is the younger brother of an acquaintance's husband. When I told my acquaintance that the food was delicious, she said, "Didn't you know about it?" It seems like I have discovered another restaurant that I want to visit again. Thank you for the meal.

This teppanyaki restaurant is run by a husband and wife. Originally located in Kamigamo, they moved here a few years ago. I have visited their Kamigamo location a few times before. The restaurant has a counter and two table seats in the front, and we were seated in the back in a sunken kotatsu-style private room. We started with a toast, and they have a great selection of drinks. We ordered a red wine bottle, bottled beer (550 yen), and highball. For food, we consulted with a regular customer and ended up ordering the "Maru Tokusetsu Set" (1980 yen) and the "Shiro Namasenmai" as well. The white raw senmai was really beautiful and tasted great. The pork steak and beef tendon were all delicious. The "Choboyaki" was their specialty and it was interesting with ingredients like chikuwa and takuan inside. We also ordered potato fries and vegetable salad. The "Special Manbo Yaki" was a unique dish with okonomiyaki and yakisoba on top, and we chose chicken as the filling. It was very tasty with a huge portion. Finally, we ordered the "Yakisoba Chobo Special" which had a massive amount of yakisoba. It was incredibly delicious and satisfying.
