Ate at the SM North Edsa Branch.
(I've never written a restaurant review before but we enjoyed it so much so...)
I've been seeing the Dohtonbori posts for weeks and finally today, me and my beau were able to go. We booked a reservation via phonebooky (and got a discount *wink) because I've read that the waiting line takes a while. When we got there, fortunately, there wasn't a line. We were greeted warmly when we came in and requested to be seated in the tatami room. The place was great, the toilet was clean, the staff was accommodating, the food was AMAZIIIING. We ordered Deluxe Okonomiyaki, Quattro Formaggi pizza, Pork Yakiniku and Sakura ice cream (also got a free ice cream for answering a survey). Everything was delicious. At first, we let the staff, Angie, cook the okonomiyaki for us. She was very attentive, flipping the okonomiyaki at the needed moment. We cooked the rest of the food by ourselves. We exited the place, greeted us goodbye with smiles from all the staff. Overall, we enjoyed our time at Dohtonbori. We certainly will come back again! <3

Dohtonbori Greenhills branch is the best, its my 2nd time here n the staff were so polite n the food Is really good!!!!! I've worked in Japan for quite a long time been to a lot of restos there and I can say that dohtonbori never failed me when its come to the taste of the marinated meat yakiniku style n okonomiyaki is really good! Galing!!!
This is actually my first time to try Japanese Yakiniku and it is quite similar with Korean barbeque, unlimited meat choices but without side dishes. The way of cooking if different because the servers cook and leaves it with a timer and they just come back after a few minutes. We added okonomiyaki which is a Japanese savory pancake. I chose the cheese flavored one because I was hesitant at first but because with cheese, you can never go wrong. Haha. I love the Japanese themed restaurant and It feels really authentic though Iโve never been to Japan haha.
Good service great food but a little expensive. Okonomiyaki will be cooked infront of you. We tried the beef and the cheese one.
If youโre craving for Japanese and looking for a value for money deal, Dohtonbori should be on your list.
I am personally not a fan much of the Okonomiyakis or Japanese Pancake. I do come here to savor any of their three affordable Donburis. My new fave is the Butadon, a lean pork bowl with raw egg in Dohtonbori sauce. I also like the Katsudon and the ever-reliable, Gyudon.
Donโt forget to add the juicy Gyoza as your side dish. No need for sauce, it is super on its own.
Went here again for the second time and I am glad how consistent their great customer service is! We ordered kimchi and pork yakiniku, also 3-meat okonomiyaki with sets of rice meal. Their kotatsu-like tables are my favorite spot!๐
We had our family dinner at this branch. Surprisingly, we were able to get seats and assisted by the crew immediately. We got the cheesy pork and deluxe okonomiyaki which was heavy but delicious. We also got the chasu ramen, gyozas and edamame so we have something to eat while waiting for our okonomiyaki to be prepared.
Dohtonbori gives you a โNihonโ experience. Playing one of my favorite Japanese songs. ๐ Their okonomiyaki is commendable. Would like to come back and try their other menu.
Dohtonbori never fails to satisfy me.
Went here with a friend after an interview. As filling as the food was, she actually ended up getting the rest for takeout. Hehe. She couldn't finish it. If you've never tried okonomiyaki, this sure is a good place for an amazing first try. Anyway, on to our order:
Hamburg Cheese Steak Okonomiyaki:
Price: 4.5/5 (PHP380) - pricy but I mean, it's super worth it given the serving size. It's actually circular in size. We just had ours cut into 4.
Taste: 5/5 - NO KIDDING. Just downright amazeballs.
Japanese Rice ๐
Price: 4/5 (PHP60/cup) - the usual price I guess
Taste: 4.5/5 - could have been a bit stickier for Jap rice.
The venue:
Ambience: 5/5 - very fitting and pretty Instagrammable
Cleanliness: 5/5
Customer Service: 5/5 Had no issues with the staff. They were very friendly and accommodating.
Serving Time: 4/5 - well... Great food does take some time.
Overall: 4.5/5 ๐
Would definitely come back here without a doubt. Bring your friends and family! ๐โค

The place is so clean and wide, even the toilet, it is neat. The waiters and waitresses are nice and approachable too. Most of all, the food is so nice, especially for the cheese lovers.
Went here solely to try an Okonomiyaki and it was an experience!
We ordered a Butatama Okonomiyaki with Yakisoba Noodles as an add-on. It is my first time trying an Okonomiyaki so I figured it would be ideal to try its most basic variety, as advised by my companion. I did not know what to expect with its taste. It was sweet yet savoury and very filling.
We also ordered a Kalbi Yakiniku and a Miso Cheese Yaki Onigiri. It was really entertaining to have everything you've ordered made and cooked in front of you. Definitely coming back to try the other varierty of Okonomiyaki on their menu.

Customer Service:
1st dine-in experience was great! It was 2years ago. The crew who assisted us in making okonomiyaki is very friendly and jolly (she even let us cook the okonomiyaki), even the whole crew at that time are very lively. But on our 2nd dine-in (last month) it feels like they were about to end their shift, take note the time was around 12nn to 1pm, and their energy is very low. The crew who assisted us in making okonomiyaki doesnโt smile.
Food:
The food taste great! For those who like japanese food really would enjoy dining here.
Ambience:
The dining area is really nice. There is an area that you will seat on the floor and you will really feel the Japanese vibes with the help of Japanese music.
