Hiroshima Style Okonimiyaki, plus a Google Food Truck

[tuftears]

dracosphynx has been jonesing for a Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki ever since his trip to Japan. Unfortunately there aren't a lot of options for something so... specific. However, he did hear about this one restaurant nearby that serves it.



We started off with the 'chicken karaage buns' since it would take a while for the okonomiyakis to be made. They were pretty good! Sort of like fried chicken sliders. I thought they might have tasted better with a hoisin sauce instead of the mayo sauce they did have.



Here's the okonomiyaki itself! It seems basically like fried chow mein noodles with eggy pancake batter cooked crisp on the top and bottom, but it has a fried egg layer and a bacon layer. (bacon was a requested topping on my part) Plus some random stuff on top. I requested mine 'half and half', so there's half traditional okonomiyaki sauce, and half of some kind of lemon drizzle. I liked the lemon drizzle side better, I think; the okonomiyaki sauce actually makes it a little too rich.

Pictured on the side is the 'iced ginger green tea' I ordered. It's pretty heavy on the ginger, but that's to the good, right?

Anyway, I promised you a Google food truck too, didn't I?



Here's a Korean-style burrito foodtruck. I didn't try the food, but I had to take a picture of the side art.



Here's a closeup of the side art! You wouldn't see this while the foodtruck was open for business, so good timing on my part, says I.
