Almost felt like I was in an Izakya in Osaka! Great place to come if you want a meal or some bar snacks with a few drinks.
Pork and noodle okonomiyaki had a great contrast of textures and flavours. Was really tempted to get a second one.
Service was nice but definitely slowed down when it got busier. The waiting staff seem to share some of the cooking responsibilities, so do expect to wait a bit before trying to grab their attention.
Only flaw was that the dessert cheesecakes were laughably small and pretty insignificant - skip the sweets and focus on the savoury goodness here.
Lovely place for a small gathering with friends. They serve the best okonomiyaki in London for sure with many different options and topping selection for you to choose from. The curry we had was a bit saltier than expected but went well with the rice!
Great okonomiyaki place.
Staff are polite and food is delicious.
Some really nice cocktails and dessert as well!
A little bit cold as the air con was on but dining area is comfortable other than that.
Cute, cozy and friendly little restaurant. Came on a Monday, was very quiet but to be expected. Food was good. I ordered the beef Don (rice bowl). I'm used to this with egg on top by default (Sydney restaurants don't usually have this as an extra). I thought this would have been an ADDITIONAL egg if I'd ordered the topping. My fault not having checked with the waiter. It's affordable but not cheap, but the quality of ingredients is evident and true to the street food scene.
Lovely place for a small gathering. They serve the best okonomiyaki and onigiri in London for sure.
A really cute small little Japanese diner. The okinamoyaki I had was amazing - it was the fish special. I also had a pot of Hiro tea, which was also great.

Delicious aubergine, kimchi and gyoza to start. I had the okonomiyaki special (a savoury pancake dish made of wheat flour batter with squid, prawns, kimchi and corn) as a main course - it was delicious, well cooked and shimmering with bonito flakes on top of the mayonnaise swirls. My son had ramen - a fragrant bowl of fresh ingredients. The restaurant is small and mainly consists of 2 person tables with stools, with a cooking area screened slightly from diners. Service is attentive and polite. OKAN is a great spot for an informal meal with friends (much like its sister restaurant in the market).
Cute little shop selling okonomiyaki, really delicious and authentic food and friendly staff. Would recommend! But make sure you book a seat before going because it’s a small shop! But also kind of confused with the £1 Carbon Donation on the bill…
Loved the okonomiyaki. This restaurant was a little cramped and was boiling during the recent heatwave, but the good food and service made up for it.
Amazing little place. The okonomiyaki is amazing. Some of the tapas/starters are a challenge to eat with chopsticks!
It’s worth the trip out to Brixton for authentic Japanese food.
We had some great dumplings to start with, a delicious mains with a refreshing pint of draught beer, £25 a head.
Very helpful friendly staff, a must if you enjoy good casual eating in a relaxed atmosphere serving great food. Thank u.
Delicious Japanese food with authentic places ,stuff are very friendly it has a calming atmosphere,service is excellent,price is reasonable
Absolutely delicious. Properly great. Really tasty. Love the vibe. It’s the kind of place I sneak out to eat on my own if I’m working from home. Cost food and spot. One of my local favourites for sure.
My first time trying okonomiyaki and I will certainly be coming back for more! We wanted a nice meal before a show at the Brixton academy and being less than 10 minutes walk away it was the perfect spot! The food was spectacular, piping hot and some absolutely wonderful flavours! The service was friendly and fast, the restaurant itself was pleasantly calm and quiet which made it a lovely place for a catch up and a bite before our show. The plan is to come back just to be able to try more of the menu that we missed!
I went there for Ramen but they do not do it anymore. So I tired the Okanomiyaki. It's pretty good, just a bit long time waiting.
Loved it!
The venue has a great vibe and the food is incredible. I could have happily ordered one of everything off the menu, but went for the specialty okonomiyaki, which was amazing! Staff were super friendly and really helpful with picking dishes. I'll definitely be back!
