    Great Place

    I went to Abeno yesterday on my way to the British Museum. Not only Okonomiyaki but also Yaki Soba and Agetofu are so delicious. It is must-go place for whom wants to experience authentic Japanese foods.

    It is so crowded on weekend dinner that I recommend you avoid the time.

    Enjoy.

    Being used to the Japanese restaurants in Italy (where you'll find just sushi and nothing more), Abeno was a pleasant surprise! The lunch menu I had was wonderful: miso soup, the day specials and hokonomi-yaki.
    The okonomi-yake was made just in front of me by a friendly and nice Japanese girl and it tasted like heaven.
    It was a light, very good and quick lunch!

    I went to try the okonomiyaki and to experiance the preparation and cooking of the dish, both were well received.

    Okonomiyaki was described to me as a "Japanese Pizza" which is true from the variety of toppings but the base owes more to spanish omlettes than to dough.
    The preparation and cooking of the dish is done on a hot-plate in the centre of your table which is fun to watch but leads to some smoke which may irritate some.

    The resturant and food were fine and there were no problems with the service.

    Japanese Pizza - Okonomi-yaki
    Current
    Last night I went to Abeno with some friends. We wanted to have a different japanese experience, not just the usual sushi but something different. So a couple of friends with japanese connections recommended Abeno. The place is quite small and can be quite smoky, but you'll try something different. Just remember that once you get out of there you will be smelling of food....so get ready for that. Each table has a hot "piastra" in the middle where fod is cooked. You might have to wait a bit for your food but just order some starters and you'll be OK. The speciality there is the Okonomi-yaki which means as you like it and some says it's the japanese version of pizza! It is actually pretty good. We also had some starters, all quite good and especially the tofu and avocado gyozas: they were delicious. A must if you want to try something different and don't worry about smelly clothes...
