Driven by suggestions on various websites, we went to Sometaro for lunch. Authentic experience and that I would recommend to everyone who is in the area. You enter without shoes and sit cross-legged around a table with a plate in the center. They also have the menu in English and bring you the ingredients and instructions to prepare in self (under their supervision) the chosen dish. Very good, cheap and wonderful experience (to avoid in summer since it is really very hot inside)

I was so excited to try okonomiyaki in Japan and this place did not disappoint! We went about an hour before they close in the afternoon and had a little bit of a wait. It's a very traditional space, so shoes off and sit on the floor. You order your dish and they bring you the batter so you can cook it yourself - the table is a stove. They did provide written instructions in English and it's pretty easy, and delicious! They have signs up asking that you don't take photos, which is a bummer but understandable. This was a fun and delicious meal!

Historic place with still antique tatami on the floor. The restaurant has remained still over time while fully preserving its authenticity. As per the tradition of this type of place, you only eat Okonomiyaki and Soba grilled. The quality of the food is good but definitely the reason why I recommend you choose this place is the atmosphere!

This was my most authentic dining experience while in Tokyo. I had lunch here and I enjoyed the experience very much. You put your shoes in plastic bags provided at the entrance so when you're in the restaurant everyone is barefoot. I was seated in the back and an English menu was provided and instructions on how to cook the meal. I ordered the pork and I cooked my meal with the sauces provided and I enjoyed the entire meal and process. The meal was decent and something I have not experienced before and I would absolutely do it again.

Asakusa Okonomiyaki Sometaro offers a tasty and authentic okonomiyaki experience. The okonomiyaki was flavorful and cooked just right, with a good balance of ingredients. Gomokuten okonomiyaki steamed cuttlefish, shrimp, egg, and cabbage were delicious. The casual atmosphere and friendly service add to the experience. This is a great spot to try this classic Japanese dish in Asakusa.

I absolutely loved going here! Was here the first night stayed in Japan and was amazing food and great experience that sitting on the floor and cooking the meals I enjoyed doing and I went back again a couple of times when I was in Japan! I would go back next time for sure!

We read of this in a “48 hours in Tokyo” article - it was included as part of a Asakusa day. The place is tiny - cash only. The “cook your own pancake on a red hot table top griddle” is awesome! (Altho the sitting on the floor challenged my back a bit!). One pancake and 2 beers will feed 2 moderately hungry people. 2 for 3 is more than enough food. Should not be missed!

One of the highlights for us. After a disappointing Okonomiyaki experience in Hakuba, we gave this place a go and it was amazing. Easy to find with the online map and the help of photos of the entrance and house facade. Short waiting time until we were seated in the back of the restaurant. Seating is on the floor (you take your shoes off at the entrance) There is an English menu available and the staff spoke some basic English. The pancake ingredients are brought to the table for you to mix and cook. The flavours were amazing, our favourites were the beef and the kimchi Okonomiyaki. Prices are very reasonable and the overall experience was fantastic.

This is a gem in the centre of one of the most interesting areas in Tokyo. After a full day of sight seeing and absorbing the ambiance, this is a great spot to grab dinner before going for a drink. Every dish is cook-it-yourself. We have only tried the okonomiyaki and it was delicious. We even got instructions on how to make it in English which was great. Highly recommended

I happened to find this place when I was looking for a Okonomi-yaki restaurant around Ueno/Asakusa area on the internet. I'm a Japanese but I rarely go that area for food. It seems very popular so I wanted to take my friend visiting Japan. Long story short, this will be the first time and the last time to go there. I have never had Okonomi-yaki that small and tasteless. Very stingy. Atmosphere is really good though. Shame.

Spectacular, interactive eating at its best and soooo tasty. Authentic, traditional, mouth watering meals. Tepanyaki sides available (stunning Japanese mushrooms). Loads of Okonomiyaki meal choices. The one with kimchi was a hit. Took 4 kids, 4 adults and everyone was happy as. So glad I found this on TA before going. Staff super helpful.

A little hard to find as the outside was all in Japanese but decided that it must be the place with heaps of locals entering. Had the best time at the place and really enjoyed the whole experience. The meal was really delicious and reasonably priced. Can not rate this place high enough. Would definitely recommend and wish we had more time to return.

All the reviews say it all. Brilliant place, lovely atmosphere, great, cook it yourself, pancakes, inexpensive. Only problem for us was (as over 70 years old and European) sitting on the floor.

Ueno, Asakusa
Traces of the history and culture of the Edo (old Tokyo) era remain vividly in Ueno and Asakusa. Spacious Ueno Park is a great place to relax and visit a variety of different museums and galleries. At Ameyoko which starts in front of Ueno station, the grocery stores and clothing shops are crammed alongside fishmongers. It gets particularly busy at the end of the year, when many people go on shopping sprees. The town of Asakusa, developed around Sensoji temple, has many shops selling goods and clothing from old Japan, making it a great place for souvenir hunting. It's also known for various annual festivals, and the whole district gets involved with the huge Sanja Festival in May.
