Ichirobe

At Ichirobe, the warmth of the griddle and the rich aroma of sizzling sauce set the stage for long, leisurely meals centered on monjayaki and okonomiyaki. The monja selection spans everything from a crowd-pleasing seafood version brimming with briny depth to playful Western-inspired variations, including carbonara, peperoncino, and mellow mentaiko cream. Guests can leave the griddling to the staff or pick up the metal spatulas themselves, learning the technique as they go to turn dinner into an engaging hands-on experience.

Sharing equal billing with the monja is okonomiyaki, cooked slowly and carefully on the iron plate. Standouts include the signature Hiroshima-style Special Ichirobe-tama, the tomato-and-cheese Tomacheese!, and the Jagabata-tama finished with savory salt butter. While waiting for the savory pancakes to finish, diners can set an easy rhythm for the meal by ordering classic sauce or salt yakisoba, tonpeiyaki, or an ajillo of seafood or mushrooms served with crusty baguette.

Operating for evening service, Ichirobe pairs its griddle fare with draft beer, wine, and cocktails, making it a welcoming stop for family dinners and group outings. Drivers also have several options, with a dedicated lot on-site and coin parking available nearby.
