The all-you-can-eat and all-you-can-drink standard option is fantastic! Besides monjayaki and okonomiyaki, you can also enjoy small seafood items like oysters and scallops, along with various other dishes. And all this for less than 3,500 yen—it’s an incredible value! I did notice the young female staff’s service, but aside from that, I was very satisfied!

The staff was kind, the monjayaki was delicious, and there was a wide variety of menu options! The squid was tasty, the avocado monjayaki was great, and the natto topping added a nice touch. Plus, the cheese topping was free! The staircase was a bit steep and challenging, but it was worth it for the delicious food!

This is a monjayaki tavern called Dashi located just a 3-minute walk from the East Exit of Omori Station, right in front of Seiyu. I've recommended this place several times as one of the best value restaurants. The basic menu items are as follows: - Monjayaki (with any toppings) for 1,089 yen - Premium Malts beer and lemon sour highball for 329 yen They also have grilled dishes, okonomiyaki, and various a la carte items. On this visit, we ordered chicken, potatoes, and an omelet. Given the prices and quality, this place is outstanding.

It was a bit hectic, as we cooked for ourselves. We enjoyed both the okonomiyaki and monjayaki, which were delicious. However, the ventilation wasn't great, and the room became quite smoky. Also, the chairs resembled beer crates, and I started to feel back pain after a while. These were the main issues.

It's really been nostalgic since the last time I was brought to Tsukishima by a colleague when I was assigned to Tokyo 12 years ago. I remember it well. Besides the famous monjayaki, they have a solid izakaya menu, and there’s an all-you-can-drink option too. Ordering dishes individually was also quite affordable, and it was more than enough for the two of us older guys. We left feeling very satisfied and thought it was really reasonable.

It's a chain restaurant, but it's cheap and delicious! They offer all-you-can-eat okonomiyaki (a type of savory pancake) and all-you-can-drink options, but I didn't think I would eat enough to justify the all-you-can-eat option that day. I think it's a great deal for parties or gatherings. The staff is quite young, but they gave the impression of working seriously.

Since I skipped lunch, I was pretty hungry by the evening. This is my first time here. They serve monja and okonomiyaki, and everything is done uniformly. It seems the customers typically make their own monja, but when I said "I don't know how," the staff kindly made it for me with a smile! Thank you so much! I had the Mentaiko Mochi Monja for 990 yen, and two Super Carbonated Highballs for 299 yen each. As for the taste? Since this is only my second time having monja, it's hard to compare, haha. But it was oddly "loose" and didn't stick to the spatula, which made it a bit difficult to eat. Halfway through, I thought "I should turn up the heat," and when I actually did, it started to solidify nicely, making it easier to eat, haha. I think that in order to make it taste better, you need to chop the ingredients more with the spatula. The mentaiko was in big chunks too! Monja seems to have more depth than I expected. Thank you for the meal!

I went for an all-you-can-eat option. The restaurant was quite crowded with people of all ages. However, it seemed they were still allowing walk-ins without a reservation. Even with the standard all-you-can-eat menu, there were various options to choose from, and I ended up feeling really full. On the downside, I could hear the staff chatting amongst themselves very clearly, which was quite unpleasant. I wish they would refrain from doing that near customers. The content of their conversation was rather inappropriate too. Additionally, the sticky monjayaki was a bit too salty. Other than that, the food was delicious.

When I went to Monja Sakaba Dashiya, I was first surprised by the variety of the menu. The Camembert Cheese Pepper Monja was exquisite with the richness of the cheese and the slight spiciness of the pepper, making me smile. One of the charms of this place is that the staff cooks it for you with great care. However, I did feel that the saltiness was a bit strong at times. The prices are reasonable too, making it a perfect spot for gatherings with friends. I definitely want to go again!

This is a monjayaki restaurant located at the east exit of Omori Station, situated in a basement level of a building near the bus terminal. It has a prominent sign on the first floor, making it easily noticeable. The interior is simple, primarily featuring four-person tables, but there are also two-person iron plates available. Each seat comes with a unique structure where the seating surface acts as a lid for a storage compartment underneath, allowing guests to store their belongings. Adjacent to the tables, there are wooden shelves for condiments like oil, aonori (seaweed flakes), and katsuobushi (dried bonito flakes), which adds to the functionality of the space. The menu offers both individual items and an all-you-can-eat option, which is the main draw of the restaurant. There are several price tiers for the all-you-can-eat plans: Standard (2,178 yen), Standard with drink (3,278 yen), Special (3,278 yen), and Special with drink (4,378 yen). The restaurant operates continuously from lunchtime on weekends and holidays. To avoid the peak hours, I visited after lunch but before the dinner rush. The restaurant had many empty seats, and since there were two of us, we could use a larger table for four, which made cooking more enjoyable. We ordered the ■ Standard Monjayaki All-You-Can-Eat & Drink 120-Minute Plan (3,278 yen). Orders are placed using your smartphone by adding the restaurant as a friend on LINE and then placing orders through that platform. There is also a set of initial menu items, and along with those, we ordered a monjayaki dish. After that, we could order freely. Here’s what we enjoyed: - Boiled Edamame (385 yen equivalent): This was a starter and came pre-frozen. It was just regular edamame. The table is mostly occupied by the iron plate, so we had to place two containers: one for the edamame and one for the shells. Eating this quickly is recommended for convenience. - French Fries (438 yen equivalent): Standard fries, good for munching while waiting for the monjayaki to cook. - Fried Chicken: Since there were two of us, we received two pieces. While these can be ordered in bulk as part of the all-you-can-eat, this portion was less than that. The chicken had a fine breadcrumb coating and was crispy, with a nice balance of juiciness, making it a pleasant surprise for a starter menu. - Mentaiko Cream Monjayaki (1,089 yen equivalent): A generous serving of mentaiko (spicy cod roe) but the cream was just some dairy product drizzled on top. The base monjayaki included cabbage, dried small shrimp, and tempura scraps, resulting in a somewhat plain presentation. However, the key point is that the menu features "grill snacks" and "grilled dishes," where you can order non-powdered dishes that pair well with monjayaki to elevate the experience. - Garlic Shrimp (658 yen equivalent): It appears to be peeled shrimp, presumably from the Vannamei species, served in an aluminum foil dish with a lemon-flavored salt sauce. Cooking this directly on the grill diminishes the lemon flavor, but adding it to the Mentaiko Cream Monjayaki created a delicious shrimp and mentaiko variation. The accompanying bean sprouts can also be diced and included in the monjayaki. - Beef Tendon Monjayaki (1,089 yen equivalent): The base monjayaki had a few pieces of beef tendon that had been simmered and then frozen. Although they add a rich flavor, the quantity was too small to spread the flavor evenly throughout. - Dice Steak (768 yen equivalent): An addition to the beef tendon monjayaki, this was typical shaped meat with a good amount of fat, adding richness to the dish. I found the soy sauce-based onion dip very tasty on its own as well. - Seafood Cream Monjayaki (1,089 yen equivalent): This variant included squid, shrimp, and scallops. The shrimp used were the same as in the garlic shrimp dish. Having three types of seafood made it quite satisfying, but I also added further ingredients from the grilling menu. - Mini Scallops with Butter (768 yen equivalent): Not only did it add scallops, but the butter also significantly enhanced the overall taste. The cream monjayaki here was light with dairy that lacked depth, but this butter could be used generously to spread the flavor throughout. - Oyster Butter (878 yen equivalent): This was arguably the standout of the grilled items. The large oysters provided were unexpected for an all-you-can-eat concept, and they also had butter, making them a perfect addition to the monjayaki to enhance its flavor with both umami and richness. - Squid Ink Cheese Risotto Monjayaki (1,089 yen equivalent): This version included squid, cream cheese, and squid ink, served with rice. You could mix in the rice to achieve a risotto-like consistency. - Grilled Squid Liver (768 yen equivalent): An addition to the squid ink cheese risotto monjayaki, the sizable squid liver added significant richness to the flavor. This was another excellent topping. - Camembert Cheese with Honey (768 yen equivalent): Half a camembert was cut and drizzled with honey and pepper. I wanted to mix it into the squid ink cheese risotto monjayaki but kept it separate just in case the honey affected the flavor. It turned out to be complementary, as the mild sweetness of the honey combined well with the depth the camembert brought, enhancing the dish. - Cilantro Salad (548 yen equivalent): A refreshing mix of cilantro and dried small shrimp dressed with nam pla (fish sauce) that cilantro lovers would adore. Considering cilantro can be pricey, it's nice to order if you enjoy it. Paired with chicken dishes, it gave off a Thai cuisine vibe. - Cucumber with Umeboshi (385 yen equivalent): This was pickled cucumber, perfect as a palate cleanser. - Imabari Grilled Chicken Platter (768 yen equivalent): The standard all-you-can-eat option includes three types: chicken breast, thigh, and a mix. We had a mix of heart and breast, which I was pleased about as the heart is typically rare and enjoyed. They were grilled directly rather than skewered. While they came with a salt sauce, the heart tasted better with the soy-sauce-based dip from the diced steak. - Super Carbonated Highball (328 yen equivalent): Alcohol here is affordably priced, but since the all-you-can-drink option is inexpensive too, it’s worth going for that. However, it was a bit watered down. - Lemon Sour (328 yen equivalent): Similar to the highball, this was also somewhat diluted. Across several drinks tried, they were generally weaker, but for enjoying with hot monjayaki, a lower alcohol content is great. Regarding the last order, since we ordered via smartphone, even if staff checked in, we couldn't place orders once we hit the 30-minute mark on our remaining time. If you're keen to eat a lot, keep an eye on the time to order ahead. If you stick to the set menu, it’s fairly priced for an all-you-can-eat, but using your imagination with the orders can elevate your monjayaki experience. This time, I focused on seafood varieties; however, the kimchi pork monjayaki with thick-cut bacon or sausage looks tempting too. Instead of cooking an okonomiyaki, it's suggested to make a flavorful monjayaki by adding items from the grill menu.

A strong candidate for the best cost-performance restaurant is Monja Sakaba Dashi-ya at Omori East Exit. All monjayaki dishes are 990 yen, and cheese toppings are free. Draft beer is only 329 yen (and it's Premium Malts). I worry if they are even making a profit! This time, we had the classic Baby Star monjayaki and the pork, along with the unique spicy Sichuan monjayaki. They are all quite delicious. The drinks keep flowing. We also ordered a few side dishes, and they were pretty tasty as well. For anyone who hasn't been yet, you should definitely check it out!

I visited Dashiya Omori Higashiguchi, a cost-effective monjayaki restaurant in Omori. I usually go there at night, but while wandering around looking for lunch, I discovered they open for lunch too! And it's just 990 yen! Even on a Saturday during lunch time, the restaurant was quite empty. During lunch, you can get any type of customized monjayaki for just 990 yen, which is an incredible price. Additionally, their draft beer (PremiummALT’S) is only 329 yen including tax, which is very cheap. They also offer an all-you-can-drink plan for 1500 yen, with an extra 300 yen if you want the draft beer included. Since the prices are already low, I think it's better to order individual drinks unless you plan on having more than six beers. The taste isn't outstanding, but it's genuinely good. If you're looking for a lunch spot, this place is definitely a great option!

I visited for lunch for the first time. I remember that each type of monja had different prices before, but there was a banner outside saying all monja is 990 yen, so I decided to enter. The system where staff would cook for you seems to be gone, or maybe it was never available for lunch, as I had to cook the monja myself. However, the instructions on how to make it were posted on the wall, so it wasn’t a problem. The original monja with a Genovese flavor was really delicious. It was so good that I wanted to try other original flavors as well.

It was busy. This time, I opted for the all-you-can-eat and drink option. I was satisfied because I could eat as many different types of monjayaki as I wanted. The speed of food and drink service wasn't very fast, so I think it's better to order early. Since it was crowded, I understand that the staff must be having a hard time, so I can't complain too much. The service isn't great, but the food is delicious, and I think it's good value for the price. I recommend the squid ink cheese risotto monjayaki, as it was really tasty.

I visited a monjayaki tavern called "Dashi" located just a 2-3 minute walk from Omori Station. It seems like there's a monjayaki boom happening lately, as I've been seeing more monjayaki restaurants at various stations. This shop mainly offers an all-you-can-eat menu. I usually don't associate all-you-can-eat with delicious food, but to my surprise, the food here was quite tasty and there were a variety of options to enjoy. We ordered a huge amount and were really satisfied. It's definitely more fun to have monjayaki with a larger group. With so many dishes to choose from, I can't help but want to come back again. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal!

This is a monjayaki restaurant in Omori that offers great value for money and I've been going back repeatedly. On this day, I ordered monjayaki with baby star crackers mixed in and butatama (pork and egg). The savory flavors of the batter dishes were consistently delicious. What stands out here is the low price of draft beer—just 329 yen including tax. I can enjoy eating and drinking without worrying about my budget. I also received a free side dish of pickled vegetables as a LINE member benefit, which made my visit even more satisfying.

I used a plan for all-you-can-eat and all-you-can-drink. The place feels relatively new, and there are plenty of seats, but the tables are small. Additionally, the chairs are designed like trash can lids, so it seems like you can put your belongings inside the chair. The food tastes average. To place an order, you need to use a menu on your phone, but first, you have to become friends on LINE; otherwise, the menu screen won't appear, so it's necessary to add them on LINE.

This month’s regular night gathering featured all-you-can-eat monjayaki and okonomiyaki, just a short walk from Omori Station. The portions and flavor were very satisfying, but the biggest problem was that we couldn’t eat enough! The camembert monjayaki was a real treat. They also have snacks, fried foods, and you can grill meat on the teppan, so I highly recommend this restaurant!

A new monja (Japanese savory pancake) restaurant has opened in the location where the old Torii Ichizu used to be. It seems to be part of the same chain, as the drinks are incredibly inexpensive—for example, Premium Malts beer is just 299 yen. Monja is inherently a delicious food, so I was able to enjoy it. Depending on the type, each dish costs around 1,000 yen. There are also great rewards for visiting, and I received a free beer.

A newly opened monja restaurant with an izakaya-style atmosphere. They offer a wide variety of monja dishes, and you can add various toppings. They also have unique options like mala monja. You'll make the monja yourself, so beginners should be careful. Since monja has a lot of liquid, it takes some time to cook. You won’t use all the ingredients at once; you can adjust the quantity. However, the prices are affordable, making it a great place to enjoy monja in a casual izakaya setting.
