What customers say?

“ I used a coupon I got from my Fukuoka Hitomi trip. I had okonomiyaki and it was very delicious. I would like to replicate the same taste when I make it at home, but there are limits. One thing that bothered me was that the chairs were sticky with oil. Well, it's a restaurant that uses a hot plate, so maybe that's unavoidable. ”

“ The parking lot is easy to enter and park in. The staff are also very friendly and welcoming. Ordering is done via tablet. I ordered Hiroshima-style and they brought it to me. They checked the heat and turned it off to prevent it from burning. There was a card with instructions on how to download the app, so I registered. I have an old iPhone 8, but it started up without any problems. The dishes are the same size as other restaurants. It looked a little small, but it was thick in height. You can also enter and exit from the back of the parking lot, which is very helpful when it's difficult to get to the main road. ”

“ I came here because I wanted to try making my own okonomiyaki for the first time in a while. I was torn between the all-you-can-eat option and the pair set, but I didn't think I could fully enjoy it due to my stomach size, so I settled for the pair set. However, it was a good choice and I ended up being quite full, so I'm glad I didn't go for the all-you-can-eat option. As for the menu, it seems like you wouldn't be able to fully enjoy it unless you chose the highest grade of the all-you-can-eat option, so I thought it was a good choice to choose your favorite snacks from the pair set. If four people ordered the all-you-can-eat option, the table would be too big and it wouldn't be possible to fully enjoy it, so I think it would be better to occupy a seat with two hungry people and enjoy it together. ”

“ One okonomiyaki is enough to fill you up. There is plenty of parking, making it an easy restaurant to get to. GOTOEAT meal tickets can be used. ”

“ It's been a while since I had okonomiyaki It was fun to eat it together and try different menu items. ”

“ It's been about 30 years since my last visit to Dondontei. Just average? It was delicious. I didn't know Fukuoka-style okonomiyaki existed. I ordered offal and chive okonomiyaki. The balance of the batter and ingredients, as well as the iron plate, must be great. Even an amateur could cook it well. Thank you for the meal! ”

“ It was delicious. Since we have two young children and the hot iron plate is dangerous, we had them cook our okonomiyaki in the kitchen. It's so much tastier than cooking it ourselves! Thank you. They offer special services exclusively for preschoolers, such as free drinks and free soft-serve ice cream if you win rock-paper-scissors against the staff, or half price if you lose. My kids absolutely love Dondontei. The staff at the Jinyama branch were especially kind to our kids, and even gave us a lenient in rock-paper-scissors. Our kids were so happy they won! Even when we're looking for a non-chain restaurant and heading out to eat, if we see Dondontei, our kids are always going to go to it! So we always end up going to Dondontei. The okonomiyaki they cook for us is delicious, so we're very satisfied. ”

“ It's been a few years since I last went there. There have been some changes, like a robot bringing food to your table via a tablet, but the restaurant and restrooms have been cleaned up and it looks great. I'll definitely go again. ”
