Souya

Some diners have remarked on the seafood-based broth that underpins the flavour of Souya’s okonomiyaki, making it tempting to start with a pancake. One review notes that the broth’s impression can vary from day to day, while another diner enjoyed both the okonomiyaki and the yakisoba. There are also accounts from people who visit for lunch, reflecting the appeal of a meal centred on these griddled dishes.

A set lunch is another way to eat here. Menu information lists yakisoba and daily set meals, as well as combinations that include a mini tanindon, mini somen noodles, pickles, miso soup and a small side dish. One diner who found the lunch generous also mentioned that a larger serving of rice was available at no extra charge. Choose a set meal for a substantial lunch, or go for okonomiyaki or yakisoba if you’re in the mood for something from the griddle.
