About this spot
Sukiyanen serves up fluffy savory pancakes (okonomiyaki) that are thick enough to hold their shape without a griddle, offering a unique texture compared to typical Osaka street food. The batter is light and airy, making it an excellent choice for those who find traditional okonomiyaki too dense or heavy after a day of sightseeing.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the 'Suki' style pancake if you prefer a lighter, fluffier bite over the dense, grilled texture of standard okonomiyaki.
- Expect to wait in line at Kuromon Market; arrive early before the lunch rush or be prepared for a queue during dinner.
- Ask for extra green onions and bonito flakes on top to elevate the simple batter into a flavor-packed meal.

Where is Sukiyanen?

What makes this pancake different from other okonomiyaki?
