I have been to Osaka before, but this was my first time at this store. The tomato flavor was surprisingly delicious and I got hooked.

Reasonable prices. There were many students around. I don't like smoking, so it was unpleasant that the person next to me was smoking the whole time.

The food is delicious even though they are open until late at night, but the service is slow and the prices are a bit high.

I went at the beginning of 2015. I usually go to Chabana in Nishiooji Shichijo, but this time I went to the Enmachi store nearby. It had been a while since I visited, and I found the Enmachi store to be quite clean and nice. The menu was almost the same, so I ordered the tomato okonomiyaki and a side dish as usual. The quality of the meat is not great, but I really like the variety of sauces and innovative menu options. It's a reliable place to go, not only at Nishiooji Shichijo and Enmachi stores. I would like to go again.

I went to Chabana for the first time! There are many in Kyoto, so I wanted to try it once. We had seats in a tatami room and at a table. It was crowded with students, probably because it's in Gion. We spent around 3000 yen for two people. We had one drink each, okonomiyaki, yakisoba, and meat. The flavors were unexpectedly light and easy to eat! The highlight was definitely the yakisoba! We ordered the grated yam and pickled plum yakisoba, and it was absolutely delicious!

In mid-May on a national holiday, my family and I visited around 6:00 pm. This restaurant is a place we visit 2-3 times a year. On this particular visit to "Chabana," the table seats were already full, and the only available seating was in the tatami room. Despite not wanting to sit there due to my sore feet, we had no choice. The customers ranged from young couples to grandmothers with their grandchildren, creating a diverse clientele. The young staff members were bustling around the restaurant, appearing very busy. While "Chabana" may not be as lively as it used to be, it still exuded a sense of energy. However, I couldn't help but feel that the atmosphere was different from before. In the past, there would often be a line of customers waiting, and the staff would work efficiently to accommodate them. Drinks and dishes would come out quickly, and the staff would update waiting customers on the status of their table. But recently, there seemed to be fewer customers waiting, and the level of service had changed. Despite the full house, we were seated promptly, and other customers who arrived after us only had to wait a short while. As for the food, we started with the "Addictive Cabbage," which was served with a salt sauce. It was a refreshing start, and I ended up drinking two glasses of beer with it. We then tried the "Bombs," which were fried chicken cartilage. The crispy texture was delightful, but the saltiness was a bit overwhelming, similar to the cabbage. The other teppanyaki dishes also had a similar salty taste, which made me feel a bit overwhelmed. We couldn't order the salt yakisoba we wanted, so we settled for the okonomiyaki, which was decent but didn't quite hit the spot due to the initial heavy salt flavor. It seems my taste buds have dulled with age. Next time, I'll be more selective with my order. Overall, this visit to "Chabana" left me feeling disappointed as both the service and taste didn't align with my expectations. However, I can't discount the value of my daughter's favorite mochi cheese okonomiyaki. There are times like this, and I hope to revisit with an open mind next time, perhaps trying the salt yakisoba.

I suddenly felt like eating okonomiyaki and visited Chabana. I usually order these three items that I really enjoy: 1) Eringi and plump shrimp sauté with mentaiko mayo flavor, salted flavor, or butter flavor - all of them are delicious. I once ordered two different flavors and they were completely different and delicious! 2) Chanja - this is also deliciously spicy! It's perfect when you're hungry and can't wait for teppanyaki. 3) Chabana special - this is amazing!! The grated yam and raw egg on top are irresistible. It's a really fluffy okonomiyaki! I have also ordered dishes like sautéed squid and Kujo green onions, and eggplant with grated yam, and they were all delicious. The yakisoba is of course delicious too, but personally, I prefer the okonomiyaki at this restaurant. The only downsides are two points: the parking lot and the narrow tables. 1) Narrow tables - honestly, they are narrow! It's quite cramped when there are four people. It would be nice if they were a bit wider. 2) Parking lot - unfortunately, there is no parking lot. This is a point that definitely needs improvement. However, if you declare your visit, you can get 100 yen per car. (100 yen is enough only for late at night, so it would be appreciated if they could give 200 yen until 10 pm...) By the way, Chabana is not open for lunch, but it is open until 4 am in the morning. It's convenient for when you want to eat something quick late at night. I will definitely visit again!

I finally visited Kyochabana, a restaurant I had always wanted to go to! Kyochabana is famous for its "Tomato" and "Avocado" dishes, which was the reason for my visit. However, it turns out that Kyochabana has two types of stores: "New Sensation Style" and "Basic Style." The one I visited in Marucho was the Basic Style, so they did not have dishes like Avocado Yakisoba. Instead, we ordered Sand Grilled, Okonomiyaki Special, and Mentaiko Salt Yakisoba. The restaurant had tables for four on the left side and a few tatami seats on the right side. The staff, including a friendly girl and a smiling male owner, were very welcoming. The Okonomiyaki was brought to us already cooked, with a soft-boiled egg in the middle and a choice of thick or thin sauce. The taste was quite rich, with a fluffy texture that melted in the mouth. The Yakisoba was delicious, with fresh Mentaiko mixed in while cooking. Overall, it was a great experience, and I look forward to trying their new dishes like Tartar Okonomiyaki and Goya Champuru Yakisoba next time. It was a meal that made me want to come back again. Thank you for the delicious food! ☻

I always have dinner at this restaurant and no matter how much I order, it never goes over 3,000 yen (lol). I always order the pork bowl, and I request the sauce to be thick. (＾Ｏ＾)

The restaurant was located near my house, so I often used it when I wanted to eat flour-based dishes or sauces. The location is a bit narrow, but the interior has a warm atmosphere, making it easy to use for dates. The staff recommended dishes with spicy sauce, but I'm not good with spicy food... However, I decided to give it a try. The result was, yes! It was definitely delicious! But 10 seconds later... it was spicy! Still, for those who are not averse to spicy food, I highly recommend it. Thank you for the meal! Date recommendation rating: ★★★★☆ (4)

I had a meal at the Enmachi branch of Kyo Chabana. I often visit this restaurant as it is conveniently located near the station. The interior has both tatami and table seating, allowing customers to choose their preferred seating. Although the dishes didn't seem particularly Kyoto-style, there were plenty of creative dishes to choose from. The flavors tended to be on the richer side, making the meal very satisfying. The food was served promptly and the service was excellent. They offer discounts such as a 10% off coupon for filling out a survey, and a discount voucher based on the number rolled on a dice when spending a certain amount. With these discounts, it's a place that makes you want to come back again.

I went to Kinkaku-ji after a long time and wandered around. I thought about going to Arashiyama and just wandering around. Ended up in Enmachi feeling tired and hungry, so I decided to eat here. There weren't many food shops in Enmachi, and the ones that were there seemed a bit intimidating. I ordered okonomiyaki and teppanyaki, which were delicious, but there was a noisy group of students next to us. The staff seemed to have a hard time dealing with them, which made the experience a bit unpleasant. I wish they had the tomato okonomiyaki menu that I had at Kyoto Station!

I stopped by because they were open late and I felt a bit hungry after drinking. The energetic staff left a good impression. The taste of the food was not particularly delicious, but it wasn't bad either, just average. I ordered okonomiyaki, yakisoba, and a few teppanyaki dishes. I don't think I'll come back again, but it's not a place I wouldn't want to go back to either. The fact that they are open late is definitely a plus, so I might visit again.

This place, "Kyochabana," has grown to the point of opening a store in Osaka. It seems that their innovative and new concept okonomiyaki and teppanyaki menu have been well received. I have visited their store in Enmachi, which is conveniently close to my home, a few times. However, to be honest, I feel that they may be trying too hard to be unique, to the point where it's a bit too much. Using ingredients like tomatoes and avocados that appeal to women is fine, but in comparison to traditional okonomiyaki, it's not necessarily more delicious. It may be interesting and impactful in terms of novelty, but I often found it difficult to keep up with. Perhaps I am conservative in my tastes. I have a theory that things labeled as "Kyoto-style" or "Kyoto-" are often just trying to appeal to customers and may not be very trustworthy. For example, when people hear "Kyoto-style ramen," they may imagine a light and Japanese-style ramen, but the reality of the established "Kyoto ramen" is quite different. While "Kyochabana" seems to have moved away from relying solely on the "Kyoto" image, if there were such a thing as Kyoto-style okonomiyaki, this would not fit the bill. If you were to choose this place to eat okonomiyaki, it would likely be because you really enjoy their unique menu. Just for your reference.

Sometimes, there's a restaurant that makes me crave okonomiyaki. I really like the one with grated yam on top, maybe it's called "Chabana Okonomi" (the name is a bit fuzzy though...). Whenever I go with my mom, who also loves it, we always end up ordering two. It's not like it's a particularly unique okonomiyaki, but for some reason it's incredibly delicious. They also have other unique okonomiyaki options, but I can't remember the names... The other day, I tried one with shrimp in it, and it was so good. Also, their yakisoba is tasty. I'm not usually a big fan of yakisoba, but I like the salt yakisoba here. It's well-seasoned but not too salty, just right.

I went there for the first time. I was surprised by the energetic staff. The menu was huge and I had a hard time deciding. I ordered the classic dishes, Modern-yaki and yakisoba, but it took a bit of time because the place was crowded. The Modern-yaki was chewy and satisfying. The yakisoba had plenty of vegetables and squid, and was very delicious. The prices were relatively cheap. The only downside was that the seating was a bit cramped.
