Marutamatei

Diners who ordered the pork and squid okonomiyaki were struck by its generous filling and fluffy batter. It is a satisfying choice whether you want plenty of toppings or simply want to savour the texture of the pancake itself. Marutamatei also serves pork modanyaki and tonpeiyaki. You can make a hearty meal around okonomiyaki, or add a teppanyaki dish to round things out.

For yakisoba, one diner praised the scallion version, generously topped with tendon and konjac. Another enjoyed the offal yakisoba with beer and singled out the nori-salt yakisoba as a dish they would happily order again. Draft beer is available, making yakisoba one option for an evening meal or a drink alongside something savoury.

The teppanyaki menu extends beyond okonomiyaki. Butter-grilled yam, salt-grilled scallops and bigfin reef squid have all been reported as generous portions. They are worth considering when you want to add another dish to pork modanyaki or okonomiyaki.

Marutamatei also serves lunch; one diner left full after choosing the squid-topped okonomiyaki. The restaurant is open for dinner as well and accepts reservations. A diner reported that it was full on a Sunday evening, so booking ahead may be worth considering if you have a particular date in mind.
