Great food great service. Especially loved the oyster okonomiyaki. As someone who doesn't like cooked oysters, this was the best oyster dish I've ever had because it has a clean oyster taste without the overwhelming smell. Had the offal udon, but it was a tad too sweet for me. Great, cold beer to go along of course.

Came in early at 6pm when they just opened and had the horumon udon and kakioko. Also had 2 cocktails a chassis orange and peach soda. All the food and drinks were great and prices were extremely reasonable. They even had an English menu surprisingly! Lastly the service was amazing, super friendly and even going beyond like when I left the store quietly the waitress came out to say arigatou gozaimashita, which was unexpected. Would super recommend to anyone looking for local cuisine in the area! Average person would be fine with one portion of food which would be around 1000 yen. Cocktails were 520 Yen per drink. Portion sizes were good even a big eater like me could only do 2 portions.
Great food and super friendly and helpful staff. We liked it very much.
岡山駅の裏側(?)は、表側みたいにワチャワチャしていないから年1回訪れるにはちょうど良い。 こちらも飛び込んで入ったところお気に入りに。今年で3回目。2025年7月16日水曜日の午後8時過ぎ。 こちらのマスターとスタッフの女の子たちの接客が居心地よくて旅を締めるのには最高の場所。 今年は1件目で食べまくってしまいココを満喫できなかったのが残念だったが、ここの良いところは持ち帰りが出来るというトコロ。今年はホルモン焼きとエビ飯、昨年はホルモンうどんを持ち帰り。大阪へ帰る新幹線内では、まだまだ満腹で食べられないけど、自宅で旅荷の整理を終えてビール片手に旅の余韻に耽るのに必須のアイテムとなっている。 ただ、残念なのはデザートメニューが全くないこと。でもね、幸いなことに毎年この時期は岡山駅構内のセブンイレブンで季節限定の桃アイスが販売中。このアイスを買って駅コンコースのベンチで食べるのもマストとなっている。 そうそう、一人客はカウンターがオススメ。ここでスタッフの子にウザ絡みしちゃってください。
広島方面に用事があって岡山に少しだけ寄ることになったので、カキオコ(牡蠣のお好み焼き)とか岡山料理を食べようとフラッと岡山におりましたが週末はどこもお店がいっぱい。回転が速いお好み焼きならと思ってこちらに来ました。そしてギリギリカウンターに滑りこめた。 そして意外につまみメニューもあって、ネット検索したら出てきた岡山名物料理(牡蠣お好み焼き、ホルモン焼きそば、海老メシ)もあって悩む! ・たたききゅうり ・鶏皮串 ・黄ニラのおひたし ・牡蠣入りお好み焼き 調理場を1人で回しているカッコいい店主?と、そこを支える店員のお姉さん達が笑顔もあってほんわか飲める良いお店でした(^^) 混んでいるときはきっと焼きものの料理は時間がかかるので、早めに頼んで、最初はつまみで飲みつつ待つのがよいかなと思います。 2025.11 食べログ3.30(40件)
先にお電話で席が空いてるか確認したところ、提供にお時間かかりますが大丈夫ですよと言っていただきました。 いざ行ってみたら、オーナーお一人でお料理を作られてるにも関わらず、全然待った気持ちにならないスピードで提供していただきました。 牡蠣のお好み焼きは牡蠣も美味しかったのですが、お好み焼き自体の生地がふわふわでとっても美味しかったです。 鳥スープの湯豆腐も濃厚な鳥スープととろとろのお豆腐がマッチしておりお酒の締めにも合いそうな味でした。 今回は夜行バスに乗る前だったので、お酒は控えたのですが、次回はぜひお酒と共に楽しめる状態で訪れたいなと思います。
