Ajiya Okonomiyaki Restaurant (Bukit Timah)

DIY Japanese pancake restaurant where one can try your hand at cooking or leave it to the professionals. We opted for the latter to ensure that it was grilled to perfection but can imagine it might be fun to give it a try yourselves.

Choose your own ingredients for the pancake and we opted for prawn/ taco, smoked duck and shiitake. Sweet-savory mix with generous topping of okonomiyaki sauce, mayo, and umami bonito flakes and seaweed. Crisp exterior with a creamy center of egg, greens, red ginger, and tempura crisps. Preferred the taco over prawn for a chewier textural contrast.

A tad pricey for what it is but enjoyable and authentic experience.

Kids will like this place, my friends have brought their kids here after our visit here.

One of the best Okonomiyaki I ever had in Singapore. We actually ordered a 2nd Okonomiyaki. Yums

- Garlic fried rice was awesome.
- Scallops Mentai were huge and juicy
- other dishes were just fillers, nothing fantastic

End of the day, u are coming here for the Okonomiyaki.

Quite nice and the ingredients are fresh.. worth it come once

Normal fried rice but the price is decent

I’ve only been to 2 okonomiyaki specialty stores in sg - ajiya and seiwaa, and I much preferred ajiya.

The okonomiyaki here has a nice crispy base (formed mostly by the pork belly), and as it’s left on the heated countertop it remains piping hot throughout your meal. It’s creamy but not in a cloying manner, and flavourful - there’s sweet, savoury, and tangy. Wouldn’t be complete without okonomiyaki sauce and bonito flakes! I find it a little pricey given the ingredients (only 3-4 thin slices of pork belly, some tako and the various veggies in the eggy batter) but it was very enjoyable.

cold ramen topped with ham, egg strips, surimi crabmeat and vegetables with tangy sauce

I looove this bowl of noodles. I’ve had it twice and I still think I will order this each time we’re here. The ramen could be have more of a bite, it’s rather soft. The yellow noodles made me worried that it would be alkaline-tasting, but it’s really not and the flavour comes mostly from the light soy+citrus (?) sauce. The sauce is savoury, tangy, and very refreshing because it’s cold. I don’t like ham and fake crabmeat so I would rather they replaced it, but I like the addition of the tobiko and crunchy cucumber, which further added to the refreshing taste of the dish.

I think this is a perfect dish to balance out the heavier flavours of the okonomiyaki and sides.
