This shop is located near Nishiki Market, closest to Shijo Station on the municipal subway. I ordered the specialty wara-yaki topped with green onions and fried egg, along with a rice set. It was served on aluminum foil for protection of the hot plate, and arrived in about 10 minutes. It may be a bit hard to see from the photo, but the okonomiyaki was quite substantial. The base was a thin egg crepe similar to omurice, with noodles and pork inside, giving it a modern-yaki feel. Personally, I found the omurice-flavored base surprisingly unique, and the crispy green onions were delicious. You can change the toppings, so I imagine adding cheese would be good too. There are other branches in Kyoto, so if you're looking to eat okonomiyaki in Kyoto, I highly recommend this place!

Today I was at the Kyoto office in the morning, and for lunch I went to "Kyoto Nishiki Warai Nishiki Hon Ten Daimaru Kita Store" with Hinoppi and ordered a half waraiyaki and half yakisoba lunch. It's been a while since I had waraiyaki.

I want to get drunk in the 3 o'clock hour, old man (^^♪ I left Saitama just after 11 o'clock last night, and it has been about 17 hours. I drove about 600km. I want to drink quickly and go to sleep ( ;∀;) There are many shops where you can have a "day drink" around Nishiki Market and Muromachi area. One of those shops is here. I was attracted to something called "Warai-yaki". What is Warai-yaki? A "fluffy omu-soba-style okonomiyaki" born in Kyoto. The combination of chewy noodles and gooey half-cooked egg creates a unique deliciousness. It says on the menu. However, my eyes were glued to the "Oyster Ball" (^^♪(^_-)-☆(^^)/ In this cold season, I always think "When you encounter oysters, eat them without hesitation!!" I ordered the "Okonomiyaki with Oysters" and a "Mega Sour with Lime" without hesitation♪ This Mega Sour is full of lime♪ I'm happy (^^)/ The glass is as big as a large beer mug (^^)/ In the end, I still needed more, so I added a "Plain Sour" instead of a "Medium" one ( *´艸｀) How about the "Okonomiyaki with Oysters"?? I ate it directly with a "spatula" in Hiroshima style, but it was unusual that the cabbage was roughly chopped and had a raw-like texture. I chose a "spicy" okonomi sauce. I put mayonnaise, seaweed, fish powder, and ate it, drank it, and drank it♪ The oysters shrunk a bit, which was a bit disappointing, but it was my first time trying "Oyster Ball". I enjoyed it♪ I'll come back again. Maybe in April???

Today's lunch was at an okonomiyaki restaurant. I had the tonpei-yaki set meal for 858 yen. It's a great option for those who are not a fan of having two carb-heavy dishes together like okonomiyaki with rice or yakisoba with rice. The tonpei-yaki, topped with sauce and mayonnaise, comes with salad, rice, pickles, miso soup, and a drink. The miso soup had bamboo shoots in it, which was a bit unusual. The sauce and mayonnaise went really well with the rice, so I ended up getting a second helping. Oh, and rice refills are free. How nice! Thank you for the meal.

The Okonomiyaki place! Now 100 yen off for a limited time! A happy food that also includes plenty of vegetables♪♪ When passing by the front of the shop, I saw the words "Okonomiyaki Butatama 100 yen off"! I had to go in! When I placed my order, they said it would take 15 minutes, but it arrived in just over 10 minutes! Sneaky♪ Using a large spatula, they transferred the okonomiyaki onto the hot plate! The okonomiyaki was packed with cabbage! It's great for those who want to eat vegetables but don't like raw ones! The batter was fluffy and moist, but you could strongly feel the crunchiness of the cabbage✨ The pork was spread out widely on the surface, giving it a nice crispy texture. It felt like I was eating a classic okonomiyaki after a long time! They had various condiments and sauces available, but because there was so much cabbage, I found it even more delicious with a generous amount of mayonnaise! I was also interested in the weekday lunch special, "Waraiyaki Half & Yakisoba Half" for 980 yen! They are closed on Thursdays. Okonomiyaki Butatama is 858 yen, but until July 31st, it is 100 yen off, making it 748 yen! It was even more worth it when you calculate the 100 yen discount without tax✨

In Kyoto's Nakagyo-ku, there is a okonomiyaki and teppanyaki restaurant called "Nishiki Warai Nishiki Honten (Daimaru Kita-ten)". We ordered "Waraiyaki Buta" for my husband and son (my son doesn't like mayonnaise so we asked for it to be left out), "Kyoten-yaki Buta" for myself, and "Yakisoba Buta" to share. The men had medium size beer while I had yuzu plum wine. "Waraiyaki" is a fluffy okonomiyaki with a texture similar to omusoba, with chewy noodles and half-cooked egg mixed in, creating a deliciously unique taste. "Kyoten-yaki" has a crispy exterior and a soft interior, with a delicate balance of dashi and yamaimo creating a truly fluffy texture. It was filled with plenty of vegetables and had a Kyoto-style flavor. We didn't use sauce, instead we added yuzu ponzu halfway through which enhanced the flavor even more.

I was supposed to have Kyoto cuisine for lunch, but somehow ended up at an okonomiyaki restaurant. I decided to order the Kyoto-style okonomiyaki without hesitation! The Kyoto-style okonomiyaki was so delicious and exactly to my liking! Squeezing lemon over it added even more flavor! I definitely want to eat it again next time I visit Kyoto.

"Nishiki Warai Nishiki Honten" is the goal of eating 150 okonomiyaki restaurants a year. Today, I stopped by Kyoto Nishiki Market for lunch. Although it would be fun to eat around the market, I had my eyes set on a specific place, "Nishiki Warai Nishiki Honten." This Kyoto-originated chain has about 30 stores nationwide. The main store is right outside Nishiki Market, also known as Daimaru Kitatei. The restaurant has spacious seating with 4-person booths, and the distance between tables is comfortable. Despite it being lunchtime, the place was quite busy, but the food arrived promptly after ordering. I opted for the "Warai-yaki Lunch Set" for 880 yen, which includes the famous "Warai-yaki," rice, miso soup, and pickles. The "Warai-yaki" was fluffy and had a unique texture, more like a half-cooked omelet than okonomiyaki. Although it had fewer noodles and cabbage than expected, it complemented the fluffy texture well. I would like to try other menu items next time, but for now, it's time to say goodbye."

I visited around 7:30 PM on a regular day. There was one group of customers and one person already there. I ordered the Salt Yakisoba with seafood for 1150 yen. It was delicious, but salty! Being a chain restaurant, I guess it's expected for the flavor to be strong. It had scallops, shrimp, and thick squid legs, four pieces in total.

On a regular Thursday at 2:00 PM, I entered the not-so-crowded store in Rakunan, which I occasionally visit, but it was my first time at the main store. I ordered the Waraiyaki lunch for ¥880 (¥968 including tax) with the B set (no additional charge), miso soup, and rice (free refills). It arrived in just 6 minutes! Very fast (^^) The food was delicious! I love Waraiyaki (^^) The female staff's service was also very good (^^) Thank you for the meal.

Visited in June 2020 with a Foodie rating of 3.09 (52 reviews). Today's lunch was at "Nishiki Warai Nishiki Main Store" in Karasuma. It's the main store of one of my favorite okonomiyaki restaurants. In addition to okonomiyaki and yakisoba, they also have dishes like Ichibo steak set. I decided to go with the half & half option to enjoy two different types of okonomiyaki. The "Warai-yaki" has a fluffy texture with pork and half-cooked egg. The "Kyoto Tempura-yaki" had plenty of vegetables on top, with a crispy outside and fluffy inside. It was refreshing and easy to eat. Overall, the half & half option is recommended as you can enjoy two completely different types of okonomiyaki.

I wanted to have dinner in Kyoto and ended up wandering around until I found this place. I've been to a different location of Warai-san before, but this was my first time at the main store. It was a Saturday evening after 6 pm, but I was able to enter without any issues. I ordered the limited-time mentaiko yakisoba, which was delicious with a strong mentaiko flavor. I also ordered the Warai-yaki with cheese, although I didn't really taste the cheese, it was still delicious. Lastly, I wanted to try the gyoza, which was quite large and had a strong garlic flavor. It was satisfying to eat. I'm thinking of trying the Warai-yaki with Haneji mochi next time!

I visited a famous okonomiyaki restaurant in Kyoto that was recommended in the guidebook. There were many menu options, but I chose a set that allowed me to enjoy two different types of okonomiyaki. The taste was slightly different from Osaka-style okonomiyaki, but the okonomiyaki here was really delicious! I would love to go back again.

Kyoto*☆♪Kyoto Nishiki Warai*☆♪It's a okonomiyaki restaurant, right? The okonomiyaki with plenty of Kujo green onions looks very delicious (*⌒∇⌒*) It's filled with Kujo green onions♪★ Kujo green onion okonomiyaki, so healthy and tasty(((o(*ﾟ∀ﾟ*)o))) "Konchikusho" is the origin of the name. It means putting various ingredients like vegetables and meat between the dough with sauce, taking the initials to form "Konchikusho." It includes Kyoto-style Kujo green onions as well (人´3｀*)～♪ Runrun. It's a healthy Kyoto-style green onion okonomiyaki♪ Since the sauce is already in the dough, you can enjoy it as it is! You can also sprinkle sauce, mayonnaise, seaweed, and bonito flakes on top for extra deliciousness⤴️ I personally prefer soy sauce. It was delicious! Thank you for the meal♥️.

This was the most delicious okonomiyaki I've ever had!!!! I tried the cheese-filled waraiyaki!!!! The thick noodles were chewy, and the melted cheese paired perfectly with them!!!! Despite its size, it had a surprisingly light texture, and I could easily eat two by myself, haha. They cook it for you, so you don't have to worry about grilling it yourself!! It's very convenient, and the price is reasonable, so I definitely want to go back again!!!! I wish they would open one near my house...!!!! Please give it a try, everyone (*´罒`*)

I entered the restaurant around the time it opened. A regular customer was chatting with the kitchen staff. In the dining area, there was a male staff member attending to customers, with a very gentle demeanor. The kitchen staff did not respond to the greetings or orders from the dining area. It seemed like they were only focused on cooking. It was disappointing because the dining area staff provided excellent service.

Clean shop. The curtains between seats provide privacy. The staff are friendly. The food is delicious and reasonably priced. Definitely will come back again.

After visiting the Heian Shrine, three of us had a small New Year's party. Smoking is allowed.

I tried okonomiyaki, negiyaki, yakisoba, sobameshi, and gyutan, and they were all delicious. In particular, the fluffy okonomiyaki was a new experience for me and changed my perception of okonomiyaki. The cost performance was good, and I would like to go again.
