I have tried to go to this restaurant about 3 times before, but each time it was full and I couldn't get in. Each time I couldn't get in, the taste expectations kept getting higher. However, on my 4th attempt, I was finally able to get a table at the restaurant! I shared the Mochi Cheese Topping Nikudama Soba and Chanpon W with my colleague. By the way, Chanpon is a dish in Hiroshima that combines both soba and udon noodles, and it's a taste that people who like it really enjoy. The portion size was good for a single serving, and the noodles were crispy and delicious, with just the right amount of sweetness from the cabbage. The final touch of cracking an egg on top of the dish and flipping it over was replaced with melting cheese for the Mochi Cheese Topping version. It was surprisingly innovative, and the melted cheese added a lot of flavor to the dish. The udon noodles were thinner than expected, but they paired well with the soba noodles. The soba noodles were the familiar Ise no Men brand. The waitress who served us was very friendly and gladly refilled our water, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

Overall rating criteria: The average rating is 3.0 points, with a 0.5 point increment scale. The total points are calculated by adding the ratings for food/taste multiplied by 4, service multiplied by 2, atmosphere multiplied by 2, and cost performance multiplied by 2, then dividing the sum by 10. (Alcohol/drinks are not included in the evaluation). Review: Not specified. Delicious.

Second visit. There is also one in Shinbashi, but this place is also popular and it seems like you need a reservation to get in on the first try. We had some okonomiyaki and a few other dishes, the taste was not bad and actually pretty good. However, the tables are small and it feels quite cramped, making it uncomfortable to stay for long. The staff and customers are all noisy, so it depends on what you're looking for in terms of atmosphere.

I was recommended by an acquaintance and went for a weekday lunch on a work day!! I signed up as a member and got free natto topping ⭐︎⭐︎ I chose soba and went with a regular amount! It was soooooo delicious!! I will definitely go back again. Just be careful, the smell of okonomiyaki sticks to your clothes!

When I suddenly crave Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki or want to eat some amazing savory pancakes, this is the place to go. I can't even remember how many times I've been here, but I often stop by in Kanda. Even though I love wine, I usually stick to beer or highball here, paired with Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki. They also have a great selection of side dishes.

This is a popular okonomiyaki restaurant located near Kanda Station, next to Kanda Tokuryoku Building. The restaurant, called "HIDE-bo," has two branches: one in Shinbashi and one here in Kanda. Both branches have received high ratings. The narrow entrance leads to a long and deep interior with table seating lined up in the front and back. There are also counter seats where you can directly observe the okonomiyaki being cooked. I visited during lunchtime on a weekday and sat at a table in the front. I ordered the classic "Okonomiyaki B with 2 toppings for 1,200 yen," choosing soba noodles as the base and topping it with my favorite ingredients, squid tempura and shrimp. The downside of okonomiyaki for lunch is that it takes some time to cook. I waited for over 20 minutes on this day. Finally, the okonomiyaki arrived, cut into 8 pieces, with a crispy top layer and moist cabbage at the bottom. The toppings were a bit less than expected, unfortunately. I finished by generously pouring Otafuku sauce on top. The lunch menu also includes yakisoba, negiyaki, and tonpei with rice sets. The yakisoba that a woman at the next table was eating looked delicious. They also offer party menus at night, so you can enjoy a different kind of deliciousness.

As expected! I'm not too picky when it comes to okonomiyaki, so I thought it was just delicious. We made a reservation for four people and ended up sitting near the door, which was cold, but it couldn't be helped. I don't know how this restaurant operates, but I hope they're not the type to seat reserved customers in the worst seats! There are quite a few restaurants like that!

The restaurant is always lively! I always make a reservation before visiting. Don't you sometimes have a craving for something specific? Depending on your mood that day, try ordering various types of dishes along with beer. Thank you for the meal.

For some reason, I visit Kanda regularly, and I'm happy to see several Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki restaurants there. Among them, this restaurant is a well-known place that I've been curious about for a while, and I finally had the chance to visit. We had a casual course with all-you-can-drink option for around 4,000 yen per person, which was quite reasonable and satisfying. Kanda is surprisingly easy to access, and it's a good city for drinking with good cost performance.

Today's lunch was okonomiyaki. I went to "Hiroshima-yaki HIDE-bo" near Kanda Station (Kanda branch) (photo 1). The photo 2 shows the lunch menu displayed in front of the store. I arrived around 13:50, just before closing time (14:00), but the waitress quickly came out and said, "It's okay." I was relieved. I was seated at a table in the back (4-person table), and I ordered the "Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki with soba and topping vegetables" (¥900). It arrived in about 5 minutes (photo 3). I'm from Osaka, but even for someone from Osaka, it was a delicious okonomiyaki that I was satisfied with. The crispy surface was great, and it had plenty of vegetables (mostly cabbage). I was able to pay with PayPay. I think it's a convenient place to enjoy Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki (even if you're not specifically looking for Hiroshima-style). I thought it's a good restaurant to remember.

The Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki restaurant in Kanda where former Prime Minister Abe dined is famous. This is my second time here, but like last time, I didn't feel impressed. It was delicious, but didn't leave a lasting impression. It's a shame that I didn't feel the greatness I expected. I couldn't sense any excellence beyond the food. Disappointing. Thank you for the meal.

I went to Kanda's Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki restaurant, HIDEbo Kanda store, to have some okonomiyaki. On this day, when I went to a soba restaurant in Awajicho, they surprisingly didn't serve it. This kind of thing happens often, right? So, I switched gears and walked a bit to the HIDEbo in Kanda that I had been curious about. Kanda seems to have several Hiroshima okonomiyaki restaurants, making it a competitive area. Sometimes you just crave it, right? It was a weekday night, but when I arrived at the restaurant, it was almost full. I managed to slip in just in time. Phew, that was close. Orders are placed using a touch panel, which is convenient! But be careful not to over-order. I ordered the Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki, Kanda Special, Champon with cheese toppings, Chicken and Tomato Gratin-style okonomiyaki, Grilled buttered squid, and Hiroshima vegetables. First, the Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki. The Kanda Special is loaded with ingredients like squid tempura, squid, shrimp, squid, green onions, and a sunny-side-up egg. Champon is a mix of soba and udon noodles, which I love. The dishes are all prepared by the restaurant staff. Thank goodness! The okonomiyaki is luxurious, with a good balance of ingredients and delicious flavors. It has plenty of cabbage and a hint of sweetness. Add cheese to it, and it's heavenly. Hiroshima vegetables are a must when visiting a Hiroshima restaurant. They are incredibly delicious. The grilled buttered squid is also really tasty. No doubt about it. But the champion is the Chicken and Tomato Gratin-style okonomiyaki. It is incredibly delicious. A must-order item. It was really satisfying to have okonomiyaki after a long time. The smell of the Okonomiyaki sauce from Otafuku is just sinful.

This is a restaurant located right near Kanda Station that offers Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki with a generous amount of ingredients. The counter seats face the teppan grill, allowing you to watch the cooking process up close. During lunch, I visited with a friend and we shared a single order of Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki at a table. The okonomiyaki can be customized with various toppings. The rich and flavorful Otafuku sauce complements the crispy noodles and batter perfectly, making it incredibly delicious, especially with mayonnaise. They also offer other dishes such as yakisoba set meals and tonpeiyaki set meals.

I was looking for a casual place to drink in Kanda and found this restaurant where you can enjoy Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki! (There are several Hiroshima okonomiyaki restaurants near Kanda, and this one is called "Hiroshima Yaki Rakuen"). They offer courses with all-you-can-drink options starting from 4500 yen at night. Since two of us had golf the next day, we opted for the 2000 yen course without the all-you-can-drink option. The course included "Hiroshima vegetable kimchi" (it's nice to be able to eat Hiroshima vegetables in Tokyo!), "fried squid tempura", "beef tendon stew", "tonpeiyaki", and "grilled oysters" which go well with beer. Finally, we had "Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki with meat and noodles". Simple yet delicious. Enjoying Hiroshima cuisine at this price is really great! They also offer Hiroshima local sake as well as drinks like Setouchi lemon sour. It was a satisfying meal. The 2000 yen course is good! Delicious and satisfying!

It seems like there are several Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki restaurants in Kanda. I decided to visit one of them first. I had a craving for okonomiyaki, negiyaki, modanyaki, and kimchi oyster okonomiyaki, with two pieces each. If I had more room in my stomach, I would have wanted to try more dishes. The sauce was excellent. I didn't even make it to the Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki.

I visited again in the pouring rain. The restaurant was full except for the counter seats. It's still bustling as usual. After having a few drinks, I got a bit hungry so I ordered okonomiyaki and beer. The okonomiyaki had squid tempura in it, a must-have topping for Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki. This time, I had a draft beer. I regretted not choosing Miyajima Beer. Since it was crowded, I didn't order more and just finished eating and drinking. When I left the restaurant, the rain had stopped. I'll definitely come back to eat here again. Thank you for the meal.

This is my second visit. There was one customer at 1:00 pm. There were more customers last time, but maybe it was because of the pandemic, it was empty. I had the Hiroshima-style yakisoba, which was cooked crispy, and the cabbage was seasoned just right. If the cabbage is too soggy, it ruins the dish. Also, with okonomiyaki, I always feel like putting a lot of Otamafuku sauce. It was very delicious. I will visit again to eat the okonomiyaki that even the former prime minister ate. Thank you for the meal.

It's been 3 and a half years since my last visit. I went during lunchtime and had the udon with pork, egg, squid, and shrimp tempura. The price was 1150 yen. This time, I sat at a table seat for the first time. I wonder if you can also sit in front of the teppan? This place is known for its crispy soba, but the udon was also cooked well and had a nice aroma, making it quite delicious. The dish was served on a regular plate, but surprisingly, it was piping hot and enjoyable to eat. Of course, it had cooled down by the end.

In Hiroshima Prefecture, there is a soul food called okonomiyaki. People from outside the prefecture may refer to it as Hiroshima-yaki, but it is simply okonomiyaki. There is no concept of Hiroshima version or anything else. For people from Hiroshima, this is okonomiyaki, and those who think of it as Hiroshima-yaki because it contains noodles are out of touch. Okonomiyaki is a deep dish, where the way the noodles are cooked, the cabbage is stir-fried, the dough mixture, thickness, everything reflects the taste of the restaurant. And this Hidebo in Kanda, Tokyo, impresses people from Hiroshima. The sauce is of course from Otafuku, and they also offer a variety of stir-fried dishes and drinks. As I took the first bite, I shed a tear as usual. It was delicious. As I ate while shedding tears, the salty taste of the sauce mixed with the tears, making me cry even more. Without a doubt, I will come back. I also thought that the restroom was well taken care of!

HIDE BAN's most popular Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki special. Topped with squid tempura and shrimp on a meatball soba. The chef looked at my face and said, "You're a real pro with teppanyaki." I whispered to myself, "I'll definitely come back!" The Miyajima beer was also delicious. It's been a while since I had such a tasty Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki.

I visited the restaurant alone this time, after going with a few people last time. I had Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki, a mix of udon and soba noodles, quick menu item of squid tempura, and Miyajima beer. The Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki was really delicious! The squid tempura is definitely a must-have with Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki. It brings out a good flavor. The Miyajima beer is also easy to drink and I think it's a very good beer. I will visit again. Thank you for the meal.
