Ordered Kansai-style three-color okonomiyaki. 850 yen. Plus 220 yen for extra large portion. It was close to closing time, and there was no ice next to the self-service water. Warm water is a bit of torture. There's still over an hour left of business hours. When asked, they said the ice maker for the water dispenser is broken. Then why not add ice from the drink bar? Regaining composure, I made my own okonomiyaki. The service of the restaurant was low-level, but the ingredients were good. Okonomiyaki cooked by myself. Mmm, delicious. Thank you for the meal. Negative evaluation for the restaurant.

This time, I went to Donn-Donn Tei Oonogi Store located at 5-37 Shirokinohara, Onojo City, Fukuoka Prefecture. I used the lunch menu. Sometimes I crave okonomiyaki, so I decided to go there in a routine mood (^○^). You order using a touch panel, and on weekdays during lunch hours, the regular Three-color Tamago (pork, squid, shrimp) which is normally 850 yen, is 700 yen! I decided to go for the large serving for an additional 150 yen (*^O^*). The water is self-service, so I went to get some. Soon, the okonomiyaki batter arrived! There was plenty in the bowl. Mix it well, with lots of cabbage. The cooking instructions are posted on the wall, first cook one side for 8 minutes. There's even a kitchen timer provided for you. Then, cook the other side for 7 minutes. It's so exciting to wait for it to be ready haha. Once the timer goes off, top it with special sauce, mayonnaise, and bonito flakes, and it's done! Cut it with a spatula, and enjoy it while it's piping hot!! It was delicious, thank you for the meal.

I really like okonomiyaki!!! Not that much, but our group decided to try Donn-Donn Tei. Since not many of us drink alcohol, the Soft Drink Set was popular. Thank you for the meal.

If you have money, you would want to eat meat or fish, but due to wallet constraints, retirees often cannot always have a lot of money. When working, I always had ten times more money than my age, but now just having 3000 yen makes me feel rich. With only about 2000 yen in my pocket for the day and a budget for tomorrow's lunch, I decide to save money by eating something cheap. In such times, eating flour-based dishes is a good idea. Not in the mood for ramen or udon, I found this restaurant in Oonojo, Fukuoka, where I have visited several times before. I visited at 12:30 on a weekday and was seated by the staff. I ordered the mixed yakisoba for 649 yen including tax from the lunch menu. A hot plate was warmed up for me, and the finished product cooked in the kitchen was brought to me in about 6 minutes. Before eating, I checked the ingredients: three large pieces of tough pork loin, squid, shrimp, bean sprouts, cabbage, onions, and tempura bits. The sauce had a moderate sweetness that coated the noodles well, not too sweet, which I liked. I alternated between using nori and bonito flakes while eating, but I preferred the nori. Two types of sauce were provided, which seemed to be for okonomiyaki, but the staff said I could use them as I liked. I didn't use them as the taste was already good enough. This lunch, which was cheap, will surely make me hungry by 3 o'clock.

I wanted to have a quick okonomiyaki, so I visited the restaurant on a weekend at 7pm. The place was full with 4 groups waiting, but I chose to wait for the okonomiyaki. After about 20 minutes, I was able to be seated! The table had a hot plate for cooking. I ordered a draft beer right away. I ordered the Kansai-style okonomiyaki with three kinds of toppings for 690 yen and grilled chicken tenderloin with salt sauce for 390 yen. There were two options for all-you-can-drink, but I decided to order individually this time. By registering on their app, I got various benefits, including half off for one draft beer, which I usually wouldn't bother with, but it was a good excuse to order a second beer (lol). I started with the chicken tenderloin, and by the time I finished my first beer, the main okonomiyaki arrived! I topped it with plenty of bonito flakes and mayonnaise and enjoyed it on the hot plate until the end. It was nice that it stayed hot until the last bite. I will definitely visit again!

I ordered the Meat Mix Tamagoyaki for my solo lunch. I didn't realize it was a self-cook type of restaurant until I entered. They told me to start cooking when the griddle reached 180℃, but it was taking too long so I started at 150℃. I mixed cabbage, pickled ginger, bacon, pork, chicken, and egg to make a 15cm diameter okonomiyaki. The taste was just average.

Yakisoba is brought to the table freshly made on a hot plate. Okonomiyaki is cooked by yourself on the hot plate at your table! Cook for 7 minutes on one side, 6 minutes on the other side, and it's ready! Since it's a specialty store, the dough is fluffy and delicious. They have parking, a drink bar, and a stamp service available.

Don-Don Tei, a chain of okonomiyaki restaurants. During my lunch break, I went to a drugstore and found a Don-Don Tei nearby. I was drawn in and decided to order the Three-Color Ball (pork, shrimp, squid) for 550 yen (excluding tax). This restaurant has a self-cooking system. I followed the instructions provided at my table: mix the batter, spread it on the hot plate, wait 7 minutes, flip it, wait 6 minutes, and it's done. Since I was dining alone, I had to wait for about 13 minutes in front of the hot plate, feeling a bit bored. Once it was ready, I topped it with sauce and seaweed from the table. It was delicious, but more than that, I felt a sense of accomplishment, like I had completed a task. Don-Don Tei, I'll definitely come back if I feel like making okonomiyaki again!

Recently, my friend and I have been really into okonomiyaki, so we often go to this restaurant. We ordered the Pair Set for 1,890 yen, which included a meat mix okonomiyaki, cheese monja, cheese tonpei, rice ball set, mango pudding, and soft serve ice cream (chocolate flavor). [My Experience] I tried the Pair Set which allows you to choose from various menu options. The monja-yaki had a strong scent of sakura shrimp, and the green onions were sliced in rings, which I thought were a bit too big for monja-yaki. The cheese toned down the monja-yaki flavor but the cheese itself was great. The seasoning of the broth was just right and tasty. The okonomiyaki had a meat mix with pork, chicken, and bacon. I personally thought the chicken in the okonomiyaki was a bit out of place. The bacon should have been diced smaller. I like to sprinkle a lot of bonito flakes and pour plenty of sauce on my okonomiyaki. [My Friend's Experience] My friend had the self-serve okonomiyaki and monja-yaki. The monja-yaki had a nice scent of sakura shrimp and the seasoning was just right. The cheese added depth to the flavor but it was a bit too much in my friend's opinion. As for the okonomiyaki, my friend usually goes for the pork and bean sprout mix, but this time tried the meat mix. The chicken and bacon besides the pork seemed unnecessary. The bacon was overpowering in flavor, and the chicken disrupted the fluffy texture of the okonomiyaki. Since it's a self-serve okonomiyaki place, my friend was able to cook it to their liking and season it with sauce and mayonnaise as they preferred. We've been eating okonomiyaki so much lately, we might turn into Osaka locals!

Osaka-style, Hiroshima-style, Fukuoka-style okonomiyaki, various flavors of yakisoba, and various side dishes. We ordered one okonomiyaki (with motsu), one yakisoba (salt flavor), and a Caesar salad (small portion) for two people. The okonomiyaki batter was brought to us, and it was quite large for one serving. We divided it into two and started cooking. The yakisoba (already cooked) was added to one side, and we had a "modern-yaki" ready! The salt yakisoba tasted great, even without sauce. The other okonomiyaki was delicious too, but the chunks of motsu were a bit off-putting. The salad portion was quite large even for one person. Overall, it was one of the more normal and tasty okonomiyaki restaurants I've been to, especially compared to the ones in Fukuoka.
