A tiny, bustling Osakan canteen serving hearty okonomiyaki and yaki soba in a retro, hole-in-the-wall setting.
Ordering Strategy
Perfect for solo diners or pairs sitting at the teppan counter. Order at least one okonomiyaki and one noodle dish to share, and pair it with a cold Asahi or plum wine.
What to order
Okan Special Okonomiyaki
The signature Osakan pancake loaded with prawn, squid, kimchi, and sweetcorn, drizzled with Kewpie mayo and okonomiyaki sauce.
Omu-Soba
A highly satisfying, rarely-seen dish of thick, smoky yakisoba noodles wrapped entirely in a Japanese omelette.
Isobe Maki Mochi
A simple but perfectly executed starter of warm, soft mochi grilled in soy sauce and wrapped in nori seaweed.

Good to know
Space is extremely tight across their locations. The South Bank branch is hidden inside the old County Hall building (look for the wooden pavement sign) and uses the building's communal restrooms.
