thanks mistertim, didn’t know iori were that pretentious… always liked the more honest tasuke anyway.

now we’re here, where is the best sushi and sashimi in town, then?

Tasuke just do mini ones. I think the new place that Iori have opened up on the other side of Phoenix does them, but I haven’t tried theirs. To be honest, I just make my own when I have a craving. Between The Hub and the Japanese shop opposite King O’Malley’s, you can get the special okonomiyaki flour, sauce, bonito flakes, mayo and aonori. Cabbage, eggs and fillings shouldn’t be too hard to track down. 🙂

I like the places where you can cook it yourself on the teppan. None of those in Canberra!

One of the first things I do when I visit Melbourne is get me some okonomiyaki. Sweet sauce, creamy Japanese mayonnaise, a sprinkle of shaved bonito flakes, maybe some sesame seeds…drool… Had no idea there was anybody selling it in Canberra – thanks for the post!

Despite what astrojax said, Iori wouldn’t do okonomiyaki even if you asked. They consider it university-student food (the kind of thing you cook at home for a party) and not the kind of thing one serves in a real restaurant.

sushi place in Canberra Centre has them on special every now and then

I make Okonomiyaki on my BBQ with reasonable success – though of course it’s not a patch on what you can buy in Japan (or for sale).

The one at DFO makes very nice food, best take away japanese i have had in canberra.

I’ve only ever found mini ones, and mostly deep-fried, which although tasty probably aren’t exactly what you’re after. We just resort to making our own at home! The closest I’ve seen in Oz was in Melbourne.

The Japanese take away in the Tuggers Hyperdome has minis; they taste like the deal deal.

not sur but i tink your best bet would be wasabi in dickson
if ya feeling adventurous here’s a recipe to make your own
