When family who live in Kobe tells you where to get okonomiyaki in Osaka, you listen. They swear by Chibo in Dotonbori, particularly for first-timers since the staff can handle English orders (not always a given with okonomiyaki spots).

While most places offer basic ingredients, Chibo's signature pancake goes all out - loading up beef, pork, scallops, and tiger prawns all in one dish. Located right in Dotonbori's famous food arcade, it lets you experience both Osaka's most famous street and one of its most beloved dishes at the same time.

Our family says it's especially good for visitors because you get to watch them make it right in front of you, so you can see how a proper Osaka-style okonomiyaki should be made.
