Ajiya Okonomiyaki Restaurant (Bukit Timah)

Ajiya Okonomiyaki is a delightful little gem for Japanese food lovers, especially those with a soft spot for okonomiyaki. Nestled in a cozy yet comfortable space with traditional Japanese decor, the restaurant immediately transports you to Japan, making it a great spot to escape into a little slice of Japan right here in Singapore.

Their okonomiyaki, which you can make yourself or have the attentive staff prepare, stands out as one of the best we’ve tried in the Singapore. The ingredients are fresh, and each bite delivers the right balance of savory flavors with a hint of sweetness, all beautifully combined by the creamy Japanese mayo and tangy okonomiyaki sauce.

For an extra treat, we also tried the Gyutan, or grilled beef tongue, which the staff expertly grilled tableside. It was cooked to perfection, achieving that tender, smoky taste that’s hard to beat. However, the Yakisoba fell a bit short; while decent, it didn’t quite reach the same high standard as the other dishes.

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.

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.
