Mangetsu

At Mangetsu, start with pork okonomiyaki or Mangetsu-yaki, the restaurant’s mixed-style version. One diner said the pork okonomiyaki had a relatively thin batter and felt light enough to leave room for another. Another ordered it after tonpeiyaki and beer, and recalled that the sauce was not overpowering, making the dish easy to finish. Whether you make okonomiyaki the centrepiece or weave in a few teppanyaki dishes, the menu lends itself to a meal at your own pace.

For noodles, there is standard yakisoba, squid yakisoba, squid-and-pork yakisoba and mixed yakisoba. One diner enjoyed the mixed yakisoba alongside other teppanyaki dishes. If you are deciding between pork okonomiyaki and noodles, you could choose based on whether you are in the mood for a flour-based dish or want noodles to take the lead. Other options include tonpeiyaki, salt-grilled squid tentacles and chicken neck, as well as teppanyaki steaks featuring king oyster mushrooms, lotus root and mountain yam. There is plenty to choose from if you would rather graze on grilled vegetables and meat than stick to okonomiyaki alone.
