There’s so much to love about okonomiyaki. This savoury pancake gets its name from the Japanese words okonomi (as you like it) and yaki (grilled), which combined, translates to grilled as you like it. From meat to seafood fillings and toppings beyond the usual moving bonito flakes and a slathering of Japanese mayo and okonomiyaki sauce, the possibilities and flavour combinations of this popular Japanese dish are endless.
Here are some of the best places for okonomiyaki in Toronto.
