Shonan

Diners who come for betayaki, a style of okonomiyaki topped with noodles, have singled out the crisp texture of the soba. At Shonan, it can be paired with yakisoba or teppan-grilled snacks. Some diners also praise the yakisoba’s straight noodles for their firm bite and satisfying texture. One review found the okonomiyaki quite firm, so this is a place to consider if you prefer a more substantial texture over a fluffy flour-based dish.

There is no need to make the meal entirely about flour-based dishes: you could choose a few items from the teppan menu instead. Diners have enjoyed the tofu steak, spinach Popeye, enoki mushrooms with egg and asparagus. The tonpeiyaki has also made an impression, with one diner noting its thick-cut pork and sauce. One reviewer who is not keen on eating lots of flour-based dishes appreciated the wide choice of sides, making it easy to choose a main dish to suit your taste.

Whether you are planning a dinner centred on okonomiyaki and yakisoba or would rather linger over teppan-grilled dishes and other small plates, beer and other alcoholic drinks are also available.
