Bonten

At Bonten, meals revolve around the sizzling iron griddle built into each table, where guests can cook savoury pancakes and monjayaki at their own pace. The house specialty is the Bonten Mix Ten, a hearty okonomiyaki packed with a generous assortment of ingredients. Diners can also explore the similarly loaded Bonten Mix Monja, a classic mentaiko (spicy cod roe) monjayaki, or okonomiyaki variations such as pork or cheese, making it easy to tailor the spread to group size and personal preference.

Beyond the batter-based dishes, the teppan menu extends to other grilled selections. The yakisoba noodles, noted for their light and approachable seasoning, make a satisfying alternative or interlude between pancakes. Meals often unfold at an unhurried pace over hot teppan dishes paired with chilled Asahi Super Dry draft beer or refreshing oolong hai.

While evenings are dedicated to teppanyaki, the restaurant also serves daytime set meals, such as ginger-fried pork loin accompanied by well-portioned small side dishes. Seating includes conventional tables as well as raised tatami mats toward the back, accommodating solo diners just as comfortably as families and small groups looking to settle in for a leisurely meal.
