Really tasty! Really pricey. Cute little spot with great atmosphere. You can sit at a quiet counter by yourself if you like. The okonomiyaki are really tasty and can really help revive you on a cold SF winter day. For the price ($20-30 per person), paper cups and paper plates are a little disappointing. But all in all good food and lots to do in the surrounding area
Pros: we were able to get a seat within a couple minutes, they had a vegetarian friendly (no fish flakes either) option in the Vegetable Okonomiyaki (also can make it eggless if desired)
Cons: our order (2 dishes total) took almost an hour to prepare and we had to pay/tip first, leaving us very hungry patrons. Agedashi tofu cannot be made without fish flakes :(
I love the okonomiyaki at this place. I’ve had both the traditional and the modern and I’d say the modern is worth it and it’s really quite heavy. It’s closest to the original stuff I had in Japan!
One of the few places you can get okonomiyaki, and it's quite good. The other appetizers and bento box type foods are above average. I would recommend coming here for a quick lunch before a movie, or if you want something a little more casual. It's never that crowded and service is typically good!
5/5 and I definitely find myself craving the okonomiyaki from here.

Take out on 3/18/2021. Izumiya is an authentic Japanese person owned restaurant offering casual 食堂 dining. We used to come here as a "safe bet" restaurant back in the day when we were still watching movies at the AMC. Things have certainly changed since then. The menu hasn't changed much though. They still offer the same options as before. Tonight I had their deluxe (pork, scallop, squid) okonomiyaki, modern yaki (adds fried eggs and yakisoba noodles), $18. They don't offer the wet Tokyo style, monjayaki, here. Izumiya does offer a decent okonomiyaki. The top layer had plenty of bonito flakes, aonori (green seaweed powder) and that thick brown okonomiyaki sauce. They are not as good as the restaurants on Tsukishima Monja Street in Tokyo or are they as good as the dinner boat cruises around Tokyo bay were everyone get to make their own okonomiyaki with all you can drink beers. Still, they are good for San Francisco standards. Good job Izumiya. My bill was $22 with tax and tip for take out.
Very friendly waiter.. I tried the original okonomiyaki with chicken and cheese.. I was happy to eat okonomiyaki again after such a long time.. The Gyozas and the Nigori Mango are good as well
I spent 2 weeks in Japan and ate Ramen almost twice a day. Their ramen was very good. Best I've had in San Francisco so far. You're cooking is truly an art form, thank you.
This place does it all, and well! The only place I've seen with organic Boba, caring about the quality of their tea ingredients. And then alone a full blown restaurant serving almost all Japanese dishes. They have amazing takoyaki, super tasty. And oh man, the okonomi yaki is as good as what I had in Tokyo! So good.
Great place. Went twice and took the agedashi tofu ramen, it was really good and tasty.
Delicious okonomiyaki and many options at that! Reasonable prices and excellent, friendly service. Would definitely come back here again.
