Our First Time at Chinchikurin - A Bold, Delicious Discovery We'll Never Forget Trying something completely new can be a gamble--but our first visit to Chinchikurin proved that stepping out of your comfort zone can lead to something truly unforgettable. I brought my family here for our first-ever taste of Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki, and from the moment we sat down, we knew we were in for something special. We didn't quite know what to expect, but wow--the food absolutely blew us away. Layered, savory, and packed with flavor, each bite of the okonomiyaki was rich and deeply satisfying. Crispy noodles, tender cabbage, perfectly seasoned batter, and that sweet-savory sauce all worked in harmony. It was unlike anything we've ever had before, yet somehow instantly comforting. Every dish we tried was bursting with freshness and flavor. It was adventurous, yes--but also incredibly approachable. My family and I couldn't stop talking about it after each bite. The ambience made the experience even better. Clean, stylish, and upbeat, the space felt welcoming the moment we walked in. The music had great energy, the vibe was relaxed but elevated, and it struck a perfect balance for a family night out that still felt like a special occasion. And we have to give a huge shoutout to Dom Nguyen and Nhal, who were beyond amazing. They explained the menu with genuine excitement and made us feel totally at ease. You could tell they were proud of the food--and rightfully so. Their timing, attentiveness, and warmth made the whole evening flow effortlessly. We walked in curious and a little unsure. We left completely blown away and already craving our next visit. Chinchikurin isn't just a restaurant--it's an experience. If you've never tried this style of food before, don't hesitate. Go hungry, go curious, and prepare to fall in love. read more

The food is amazing and the service is great. I would highly recommend coming and trying the specialty

This review is solely just for the okonomiyaki. It was quite mid.. The udon is chewy yes, but everything else about it was just.. ??? I don't even know how to describe it. It may be the flavors not mixing well with each other.. I prefer going over to Abe or Hanabi for a better appetizer... I'm sure their udon is delicious, but I haven't gotten the chance to try it yet, since this place is known for their okonomiyaki. I came in with high hopes only to be left.. unsatisfied.. had to go get boba to compensate for my sadness. Maybe next time it'll be a better experience. read more

Peach soda was amazing, servers were friendly & attentive, and food was good! Would eat here again!

Great ambiance and good food. Hiroshima Okonomiyaki has been one of my favorites for 40 years since living there for 5 years in 1983. The menu has a good deal of variety. The classic Okonomiyaki was true to its name, but a little light on cabbage, which ironically wouldn't add much cost. The price of $16 is reasonable, given today's prices and location. Give it a try! read more

We went at 7pm during their grand opening and it was so busy we had to join the waitlist that said estimated time was between 80-90 mins. But we only had to wait about 45 mins to get seated thankfully! The atmosphere was fun and we got to watch the chefs cook up the dishes through their open concept glass window kitchen. Our server Zach was awesome! He was eager to help us pick the best items from their menu by thoroughly explaining each dish and its components to us. Being an indecisive person, that was so helpful and allowed us to order within just a few minutes! The food also came out pretty quickly, taking maybe only about 15 minutes. We ordered the Chinchikurinyaki, the loaded Kaisen, and the spicy GOAM. We cut them like pizza slices to share. My favorite was the loaded Kaisen since it was more balanced with seafood and veggies. All the dishes had a lot of noodles and was very carb heavy so that wasn't my favorite. It was also a little heavy on the sauces in my opinion, but still delicious. You could also choose between crispy or soft noodles, which I recommend crispy. Overall cool concept! read more

First time trying Okonomyaki. Came with friends for lunch. friendly waitress named Tix was patient and explained Okonomyaki and gave recommendations. We liked everything we ordered- loaded Okonomyaki, fried oysters, garlic shrimp, and edamame. Clean and good ambiance. read more

The dishes were tasty and served hot. Delicious with each bite. very impressed. Will eat here again.

The food was absolutely delicious and you get a lot of it for your money. Brandon was our server and he did a wonderful job. He was so attentive and nice!! It took a little while to get our food but they even advertise that it takes a bit of time because there's literally ten layers so it makes sense and we were prepared to wait a little. We'll definitely be back! read more

So good! The karaage was not dry and really tender. The GOAM okonomiyaki was just the right amount of richness and spiciness. Service was attentive. We hope this place lasts a while! read more

We recently came back from Japan and was craving Okonomiyaki that we had eaten in Hiroshima and we decided to drive 3 hours to try it and my husband and I both agree it was the same taste that we had eaten in Hiroshima. Well worth the drive. We highly recommend. read more

Food came out hot and fresh. Service was really nice and quick. The drinks were flowing. All in all an amazing time! Gotta recommend the Negi Mamire and the Spicy GOAM. Dom was an amazing server! read more

The restaurant was relatively small and intimate (I prefer that), wait was short and staff were lovely. I was not familiar with the food, luckily my waiter Zach could not have been anymore helpful walking me through and explaining the menu. I ended up getting The Hiroshima a flurry of different textures and very savory (I also do now recommend). I had first passed on his recommendation for appetizers but after eating the main course I had to try more. I ordered the fried oysters and they were amazing, I can't believe I had not heard of them before. New to town and it was refreshing to feel so welcome and get a taste of a place I have yet to visit. thanks again Zach and the chefs I didn't have the pleasure of meeting! See you soon!! read more

Excellent service and delicious food. I was waiting across the street at the new boba place. They made the food to go and made it easy to eat. Very kind. read more

We were really looking forward to trying this place. Unfortunately we cannot report much other than the gyoza which were good. We were there a little over an hour and although we ordered mains this is the only thing that came out. We spent a while trying to flag down a server and after a long while did. It was explained that they lost our order in their system and they would give us 20%off the order. Waited yet another 20 minutes watching others tables food come out. Decided to cut out losses, paid for the gyoza and headed out. Really disappointing. read more

I took my coworkers to Chinchikurin after work and we had a fun time. Not only is the food good, but the atmosphere is amazing! Try any okonomiyaki and you'll be satisfied. Five stars because both Jackson and Jesse treated our crew with amazing service. read more

I'm sure if the cutting boards and grills are fully clean that the okonomiyaki are good. Unfortunately, my pork (non-seafood) okonomiyaki was tainted with squid and/or oyster flavor in the cabbage so it was not a pleasant flavor. That leads to another concern, those who are allergic oysters, be careful. This was during night time rush so I'm sure it was hectic in the kitchen. The karaage was just ok. Consistency was great but the flavor was lacking. The gyoza here was better than most other Japanese restaurants that I've eaten at. I am rooting for this place as I am an okonomiyaki fan and we do make it at home, of course with Otafuku products also. read more

YUM!!! The service staff is super friendly and the food is so delicious! We were able to get sat right when we walked in. Everyone needs to come check this place out! read more

Amazing food and ambiance! A total recommend for fine but casual Japanese cuisine. Be mindful of the 20-30 minute waiting list (Saturday) and it's a bit pricey for my taste, but still worth the time. We had a Ika ika okonomiyaki, a couple of miso soups and a spicy tan men. read more

So so yummy! It was my first time trying okanomiyaki but I fell in love! The service was quick and attentive. The restaurant was a little loud but it was fun to watch all of the food being made through the glass halfwall that separates the grill from the restaurant. read more

We came in, no one greeted us and then they proceeded to sit everyone else except for us, even when we tried to speak to the staff so we decided to leave. The staff is not friendly. read more

The food was amazing. Generous portions. Would recommend bringing many friends and all sharing the many different varieties. read more

Dang. This. Was. Delicious. The restaurant is brand new and they are still working out the kinks. And I still give it a 5 star review. Service was friendly and attentive. The food quality was excellent. Lines were out the door so people were excited by the place. It felt friendly and welcoming. The place was active and had a good buzz to it. Conclusion: a little pricey but definitely worth the visit. read more

The food was so amazing. The karaage and corn cheese mayo okonomiyaki was so fresh and warm. Our server Akira was so helpful, and helped us through our first experience here. Overall very calm and nice place for a peaceful filling lunch. read more

Um wow! We've been here twice now, the first time I got the corn cheese mayo and I went back to try the ramen. I definitely recommend both and especially the squid! Service was excellent, servers are very attentive and they keep the bathrooms super clean. This is so different to anything else in Dallas so if you're looking to try new things I'd give it a go. The area is perfect if you want boba afterwards too! read more

If you are expecting the real deal Hiroshima style Okonomiyaki you may be disappointed. I grew up in Hiroshima area, prefer Hiroshima style over Osaka style so I was so excited to try this place. It's close but not the same. The toppings are weird, if you get shrimp it's placed on the top. Authentic style all the protein/seafood inside to cook together. So that was weird. The noodles were weird as well we got both types they offer. The servers were very attentive and we enjoyed our appetizers. So again if you have had authentic Hiroshima style just keep an open mind it will be close but not the same. read more

The first oknominyaki place in DFW hits nicely. The portions are large enough to share and the kewpie mayo slaps.

Pricing averages like $18-20 an item, when you can do all you can eat sushi or hot pot for $20. Way over priced. The items on the menu are really not that special in Australia. We even have them in the shopping center food courts. Quite hyped up. read more

Food was amazing. Service was quick. We had the fried oysters, grilled squid, and the loaded kaisen was all good. Would definitely come again read more

Went here on a fairly busy Saturday lunch but the service here was still top notched. The processes to reserve a spot+check-in was all handled through Yelp so that you would be notified whenever it was your turn. When I walked in to check-in, I was immediately greeted by the manager and was seated accordingly. The seating area is a bit cozy, of course because it was busy, but it's something that I don't mind. My main server, Dominick, was really knowledgeable about the menu and recommend me some pretty good choices. He recommended me the negi mamire, karaage with sauce and green onions , as the appetizer and the B&C okonomiyaki as the entree. The negi mamire was good. It was crunchy, light, and the sauce+onion combo was a great addition as well on a classic appetizer. As for the B&C okonomiyaki, it really did taste like the ones I had in hiroshima when I was in Japan. The size of the okonomiyaki was good, easy to cut through, very savory, crunchy, and for sure flavorful. They also had okonomiyaki sauce and kewpie mayo on the side as well if you wanted to sauce it up more. While it was busy and my main server was helping other patrons, the other servers around were also attentive and checked up on me as well so the service was definitely not lacking. Will be coming back soon to try the other okonomiyakis as well. Shout out to my server, Dominick, for being such a charismatic, helpful, attentive, friendly, and chill guy. read more

Space is a bit small, but the food is delicious. It is a bit chilly inside so remember a hoodie. Highly recommend the garlic shrimp. Everything was well seasoned. Staff was friendly. Also because the space is small there can be a bit of a wait. read more

Fancy. Food ia good. Not typical okonomiyaki. Portion is nice. Price is a bit on the high side but still reasonable. Since it's still new, there was a very long wait on weekend. We went there during weekdays. No queue. Service is good. Recommended. read more

Lot a good reviews and I wanted to be impressed. First the good. Our server was awesome. Super helpful, informative and attentive. Waited 45 minutes for a table. It is what it is, lots of influencer's are hyping up this place. The food is not bad, it's just not better than a lot of the Asian food you'll find in the same area. It's very expensive for what you get and there's really no protein that actually comes with the meal. You can add it but you're already paying $20 for the meal. You're paying nearly $20 for essentially cabbage, and noodles. I ordered four different dishes and honestly the biggest difference between them all was the sauce. So not terrible food but not worth the wait or the price. read more
