After watching a movie at HEP Navio, I had a meal here. -The pork tonpei-yaki was lightly seasoned. -The Akashiyaki (6 pieces) had a strong wheat flavor, it didn't feel like eating Akashiyaki. -The pork yakisoba was a bit spicy. The cabbage wasn't tasty. Unfortunately, it didn't suit my taste... I had high expectations as it is a famous chain restaurant. Thank you for the meal.

I had the "I still like you" set at Botteju-san on the 7th floor of HEP Navio. It included two types of okonomiyaki, salad, and dessert. It was a good deal at 1480 yen, with a satisfying amount of food. The warabi mochi dessert was especially delicious.

Osaka's Botedju Hachi, located on the 7th floor of HEP Navio in Kita, has a slightly luxurious feel. It was a Saturday afternoon, but we were able to relax and enjoy our meal. The yakisoba noodles were thick, which was impressive. The okonomiyaki was on the smaller side, but the pork, including the tonpei-yaki, was voluminous and delicious. The taste was okay, but the prices were a bit high.

I went on a journey to visit various okonomiyaki chain restaurants, but I hadn't been to "Botedju" yet. So, I visited HEP Navi Oten. Here, there isn't any standout feature, but the balance is good. The tonpei has plenty of pork and tastes great, and both the yakisoba and buta-modan have a well-balanced flavor. Not too spicy, not too sweet, a moderate taste that appeals to everyone. Additionally, you can also enjoy takoyaki here. They are a decent size. What I found interesting is that the teppanyaki dishes at Botedju are served on thick iron plates, so the table stays clean and the flavors don't mix. I thought that was clever. The atmosphere is nice and overall, I really liked it.

I was amazed by the thinness of the Modanyaki with sunny-side-up eggs on top. It almost looked like a hamburger at first glance, which is a good color combination. The color and aroma of the sauce make it a great appetite enhancer. Watching the Modanyaki being placed on the hot plate, I realized that the secret to success in making okonomiyaki is not to cook it yourself. Trying to cut it in half with a small lever didn't work out well (some might call it clumsy). It seems like a big lever is needed to do the job. It crumbled a bit... I remember someone saying that using a slightly wet lever would work better, but maybe that was a mistake. However, the sauce and mayonnaise provide a delightful flavor and color that make your heart race with excitement. Just looking at it increases your appetite, doesn't it? In Osaka and other parts of Kansai, the eating style is focused on carb-heavy dishes. Okonomiyaki is often seen as a side dish in this region. I decided to be a bit fancy and had it with mixed rice instead of plain white rice. The savory aroma of good soy sauce stimulates the appetite. Boteju HEP Navio store.

I always eat before watching a movie, but on this day we decided to eat after the movie and chose a place with some benefits, so we chose a restaurant from HEP Navio. We ordered one dish each and shared them among the three of us. We chose the Hakata mentaiko and mochi gouda cheese tamagoyaki, Osaka modern, and beef bara sobameshi. The tamagoyaki and sobameshi were served on plates, while the Osaka modern was cooked in front of us on a hot plate. I wonder if they do this at all times? I was surprised by how small the portions were. The Osaka modern dish didn't have as much volume as I expected. The taste was okay, nothing special, and it didn't really stand out as an Osaka specialty.

I visited on Saturday afternoon and it was quite empty, so I was lucky. They explained at the entrance that it would take about 15 minutes from ordering to serving, which I found very kind. The food came out in about 10 minutes after ordering. The squid and shrimp were soft and delicious. The yakisoba was chewy and tasty. The atmosphere inside the restaurant was stylish with a calm lighting. You can get a 10% discount by showing a movie ticket, which is a good deal.

Good evening, it's Sae♪ We went to USJ, Kyoto, and had a shopping trip in Osaka with three people♪ While in Osaka, we decided to have okonomiyaki for lunch and ended up at "Boteyu"♪ We tried "Akashiyaki," "Butatama," "Mixed Okonomiyaki," and "Nikomi" - all delicious♪ It's great that everyone's feeling better now(^^) We had a fun trip, enjoying kushikatsu, okonomiyaki, Kyoto cuisine, and lots of sightseeing and eating♪

There are several Botedjuu restaurants in Umeda, but this time I visited this one on the 7th floor of HEP Navio. When I entered the restaurant right after it opened, I was asked if it was okay for the food to take some time because it was crowded. Since I still had plenty of time before my schedule, I agreed and went inside. The restaurant was about 80% full. There are various menu items available, not just okonomiyaki but also teppanyaki dishes, offering a wide selection. Although I wanted to try many different dishes, I was dining alone, so I ordered the pork okonomiyaki, pork and konjac stew, teppanyaki gyoza, and beer. Overall, the prices are a bit high, but it's Umeda after all. First, the pork and konjac stew and beer arrived. The stew is made with tendon meat and konjac, perfect with beer. The teppanyaki gyoza is juicy and delicious, although the skin is a bit sticky. The pork okonomiyaki comes with sauce and mayonnaise, and you can add bonito flakes and seaweed from the condiments on the table. The okonomiyaki is a bit firm, not fluffy, more like a traditional style. It was delicious, and I left feeling satisfied.

It's been a while since I had okonomiyaki at "Botedju". There are several stores in Umeda. The atmosphere at NaviO is nice and clean, but it's lively with a lot of group customers. This time, I tried the oyster okonomiyaki for the first time. It's quite different from the one in Okayama, the oysters are small and elegant, but there are plenty of them and I'm satisfied. The okonomiyaki was a bit lacking in sauce, but the yakisoba was good. The beef was a bit tough to chew, but I still enjoyed the taste. It's a casual place where you can eat quickly and easily.

I finally visited the restaurant that had been closed due to corona. I ordered yakisoba and okonomiyaki with oysters. It might have been better to order one more dish for two people. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

The okonomiyaki here is not as good as the one at Moriguchi on Rokkodō Street.

Lately, I've been craving sauces a lot, so I went to "Botedju"! Cheers with "Dodeni"! Okonomiyaki and yakisoba had consistently good flavors (o^^o). We got a 10% discount with a movie ticket stub, so it was a good deal.
