Okonomiyaki is delicious. One of the goals of my December trip to Japan was to eat okonomiyaki. We found a great hole-in-the-wall restaurant in the convoluted side streets of the Nakano Broadway section of Tokyo. Sharon and I were the only ones in the restaurant, so I felt free to take a lot of videos. It was Hiroshima-style, like in the linked video. I had the green onion, and Sharon had the regular pork. We ate it with very small metal spatulas, instead of chop sticks or forks.
Hiroshima-style has noodles, something I was not used to when I ate it growing up in Hawaii. We also had it a couple of times when we trained down to Hiroshima. There is even an okonomiyaki museum:

Tokyo has an okonomiyaki-like dish called "monjayaki". It has more liquid, and you eat it as it cooks on the grill.
