Oh! I am stuffed with good food! This Asian fusion restaurant is pretty popular (as I write this, the place is packed!). They have rice bowls, sushi and sashimi, curry and a good variety of Japanese sake and beer. But what this place is known for is their okonomiyaki, or the Japanese pancake, and yakisoba or stir fry with thick noodles. We had the White Tuna Tataki Don (rice bowl) and the 4 Okonomiyaki sampler, with a side of grilled onigiri or rice ball, which came ok with some tsukemono (pickled cucumber). All were flavorful and immediately got the saliva glands running! The tuna tataki (seared meat) was lightly seared on the top of each piece of sashimi, but the bottom was raw, as that is what tataki is, and the searing was delicately done, meaning that the meat still had a soft texture. When it is seared too much the fish can get tough. The sampler came with four different mini okonomiyaki, each having its own distinctive and delicious flavor. The cabbage, which is the base of the pancake, should have been crunchy, but I thought it was overcooked and soggy. The grilled onigiri was super flavorful, almost to the point of being too salty, but the sauce made for a very crunchy outside and a super moist inside - great texture here! I had the ume or pickled plum inside, which I expected to be a bit less rubbery. All in all, the food was tasty, and judging on the packed house of mixed ethnicity, people seem to enjoy eating here. read more

Came for dinner with a group of friends, and we all enjoyed it! Fugetsu is actually located inside Rokko and they're shared with no differences, so just look for Rokko when you're looking for the restaurant. We were seated quickly and the menu had lots of variety. We tried the takoyaki, a sushi roll, the modanyaki, and the yakisoba. The food came out fairly quickly, and all the dishes were good. The takoyaki was flavorful, the sushi roll was generously sized and tasted great too. I enjoyed the modanyaki and the yakisoba, though they were a tad on the salty side for me personally. Parking in the adjacent parking lot is a bit hard to find since it's quite busy, but there is a nearby underground parking structure that has plenty of parking. Just follow the parking signs! read more

Saturday was a nice day to come into Fugetsu in Sunnyvale. Especially when you come in early. I had gotten there with my friend around 11:30am when they first opened and they were able to seat us right away. The menu was quite big and honestly a little overwhelming but it wasn't too bad especially since most of the menu was covered with pictures so you'd be able to see what you were ordering. They also had a special menu that gave you another option at trying their signature Okonomiyaki's with the chance to try all 4 of them in a smaller form factor served as a sampler. Which is what I got but only 2 of the samplers which were the Gyusuki and Negi. Also a side of Edamame, which wasn't on the menu so you can just ask for it. Really liked these smaller portion sampler plates as it gave me the experience of an okonomiyaki but not on the larger scale. NOTE: You can't make it a modanyaki on the sampler ones as they're too small. Just as a heads up. The edamame was also large in quantity so that was really nice to take home. Would definitely come back next time and try out their modanyaki and other items as everything looked good. Even the decor was nice, just a little weird that the sign and branding was of the old establishment that was there. read more

Fugetsu - Sunnyvale - 2 Mini Okonomiyaki Negi and Gyusuki - Japanese Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Fugetsu is located inside of Rokko, and the menu that you get is for both restaurants. I came here to try what Fugetsu had to offer, specifically their modanyaki/okonomiyaki, so this review is only for what Fugetsu had to offer. Negi Tsukimi Modanyaki - This dish was delicious! The crispy noodles was a nice touch to the dish, though I'm not sure if I would get the modanyaki version next time over the okonomiyaki. I loved the flavor of this and would come back for it. Gyusuki Yakisoba - The beef was good, but the noodles were a little bit too salty in my opinion. read more

Fugetsu - Sunnyvale - Negi Tsukimi Modanyaki - Japanese Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

I've been craving okonimiyaki for a while and was recommended this place by a friend. Food came out fast and service was great. The karaage was okay, the meat was a bit juicy, the sauce was mild and forgetable. The spicy tuna was pretty good. We got a Sapporo tower, which was pretty fun, and that was around 8 glasses of beer for us. I ordered a Negi-Tsukimi Modanyaki, which definitely sated my craving! It was exactly what I was looking for. The noodles were a bit heavy, so I might get a normal okonimiyaki next time. My friend thought it had too much sauce for his taste, but it was perfect for me. The atmosphere was pretty chill, it had a lively vibe when we were there. read more

The okonomiyaki was soft, soggy, and bland. Considering all the hype about it, I thought it would be much better. My waiter was awful. He just took my order and disappeared. I saw him in the kitchen all of the time but he wasn't cooking. Maybe he was chit-chatting? It took over 30 minutes before a waitress in the neighboring section noticed and gave me my check. read more

Waited about 30 minutes to be seated, but Fugetsu was worth the wait! It has a mix of sushi and other Japanese dishes (not sushi-restaurant style). I love how they have entree sets, like bento combos, and their serving size is actually pretty big! -- Food Entree with tonkatsu and shrimp tempura: comes with chicken karaage, miso soup, and rice. Tonkatsu was crispy, sat on a bed of shredded cabbage, and was overall juicy. Deluxe chirashi bowl: comes with a lot of rice; one size only. The fish was decent, and there was a lot of roe. Overall, honestly, too much rice, but at least it was nicely seasoned/flavored. -- Overall, a good bang for my buck, and I would like to come back and try other dishes! read more

My friends and I wanted to come here for dinner on a Friday evening. We were seated quickly and the staff easily made room for when my boyfriend arrived. We ordered a variety of things. They give you a fantastic amount of fish with any raw fish items. I ordered the tuna nigiri and the tuna slices were thick! It was delicious even though the wasabi underneath totally overwhelmed me. All of us got a variation of the okonomiyaki/modanyaki. These take about 25-30 minutes to be ready so be prepared to wait. Another thing to note is that there is a difference between okonomiyaki and modanyaki. The okonomiyaki doesn't come with yakisoba/the noodles, whereas the modanyaki does. The modanyaki is more of the Osaka style and the okonomiyaki is more Tokyo style. One of my friends and I ordered the okonomiyaki sampler and didn't know that we could've ordered it in the modanyaki way. We all definitely prefer the modanyaki and I highly recommend you start with that over the okonomiyaki. Our only issue with these were that the sauce was a bit much. Staff was very attentive especially given it was a Friday night. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the music (since it was exactly my taste). read more

Okonomiyaki, where have you've been all my life? I wish I could buy a ticket to Japan and try all the different varieties of this dish. It is so scrumptious and delectable. The sauce mixed in with the toppings and the sizzling platter that makes the bottom layer toasty...I am addicted. I ordered the deluxe okonomiyaki and it was sooooo yummy. The seafood and pork were an interesting combination. It's a filling dish and although it does not appear to be very large, I was quite full and ended up with leftovers. This restaurant shares space with Rokko and the staff are very friendly and courteous. The one thing I find a pain is parking in downtown Sunnyvale, especially with the construction. There are parking lots and garages available, street parking as well if you are lucky to find a spot. read more

Skip their takoyaki, it's very disappointing. The outside was soft and soggy, the inside was just bland and gooey with tiny tiny bit of octopus in each ball. Consider I just had some really good takoyaki from Kaijiken last week (also lower priced), takoyaki from Fugetsu is just a sad failure to me. read more

If you're in Sunnyvale and looking for a quick bite, Fugetsu is an extremely solid option. To start, my friends and I ordered the chicken karage and to my surprise, this is one of the few places that actually includes the chicken skin as well! The texture was crispy, but could use a little more meat on the chicken. Now for the star of the show: okonomiyaki. I've never had this dish before but just like other Japanese dishes, you really can't go wrong. I added noodles to mine that helped made the dish a bit more hardy, but honestly, the cabbage fills you up. The sauce is a typical sweet teriyaki sauce and they load up the seafood. Would definitely come back here when I'm in the area, but do know that the food does take a little while to be prepared. read more

Fugetsu - Sunnyvale - Deluxe - Japanese Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

After going to Korean supermarket, we came here to order the seafood okonomiyaki dish. It was take out only, so, we ordered, waited and ate the food in my car. Fresh, hot, and loaded with so many sauces that made this finger licking yummy. It's like a savory seafood pancake with mayo and thick sweet/savory soy sauce on top. It is very heavy. It is very tasty. Would love to come back again when there's indoor dining to try other items on the menu... someday! read more

Tough place to find, it's actually inside a restaurant called Rokko. The sampler Okonomiyaki plate was really nice in that you get different flavors with different Okonomiyakis. Probably the best bet imo because although the Pork Okonomiyaki was pretty tasty, but it was a bit one dimensional in terms of flavor. I did enjoy the the noodles on top and liked the extra carbs which made it feel more balanced. The carpaccio had really nice thick slices of fish, but could maybe use a bit more sauce. read more

Kinda bummed since all the reviews rave about the okonomiyaki here but most of the food we got was a miss. We got chicken karage, cheetama okonomiyaki, and the yakisoba noodles with shrimp and scallops and tbh only the chicken karage was good. The okonomiyaki was way too sweet and it's supposed to be crispy but the one we got was all mushy, and they somehow ran out of sriracha and didn't have anything else that could make it spicier. The yakisoba noodles were salty, bland, and dry and overall lacked flavor. The noodles barely had any shrimp and it came with only one scallop that looked kinda off. The only thing we liked was the chicken karage, it was crispy and paired really well with spicy mayo and a touch of lemon. Was really hoping to like this spot but I think we came on an off night or something. read more

Not impressed. It is in the same restaurant as Rokko's Japanese cuisine, the signage outside doesn't say Fugetsu. Seafood okonomiyaki was tough & not easy to eat. Can't tell which menu is for Rokko or Fugetsu or what the difference is. Expensive prices and food did not have a decent flavorable taste. read more

Had the deluxe mondayaki. Noodles are a must get, portions of noodles and seafood were very generous! Better flavor and more portions than the michelin star restaurant I had in Osaka. Waiters were attentive and proactive in refilling waters, and the place wasn't too crowded on a Sunday night. I will be back! read more

Came here on Jan 9, 2021 around 1 pm! We came at a random late, but it was still busy. You order online, get a number and come pick up your food when it's ready. I think we waited about 20 minutes to get our food. I tried the Deluxe Okonomiyaki ($17 regular or $19 modan, with noodles). +1 huge portion size! This is definitely a meal on it's own +1 Fresh! Maybe because I ate it right after I got it, but everything tasted super fresh, flavorful, and yummy +/-1 Could be a bit too creamy/heavy for some, but it's still yummy if you need something hearty Overall, the service was great and the food was yummy! Sucks that they are in such a random plaza, but at least they seem to be doing well during the pandemic! read more

Fugetsu - Sunnyvale - Japanese Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

I was excited to try this place since I will be going to Japan this year but nothing went well. Located inside Rokko (their a combined business) I walked in to order takeout at 6:45 pm Fri, the order took 45 mins. They are busy and a bit short staffed. I asked for sauce on the side in case it gets too salty, they forgot my sauce Pork Okonomiyaki $15: no clue where the pork was. The entire pancake had 1 tiny fatty piece of pork that I spat out anyway. It was literally a cabbage and egg batter pancake. Decent size, but no meat. Rip off Gyusuki Modanyaki $23.50: this had a good portion of beef/grilled onions and noodles on top of the usual pancake. The beef was like 75% fat though. I didn't eat most of it. I asked for no egg. Nothing special about the noodles, just regular thick chow mein noodles Total came out to $42 for mostly cabbage and egg batter. While it did taste good and had a nice crispy top layer, it was terrible value for mostly vegetables. The portion size was fine but men will likely need more food if they only eat 1. The Modanyaki is basically just basic noodles added to Okonomiyaki. Definitely skippable. Definitely not going back. Will wait until the real thing when I go to Japan Also, if you order online via their website, these items are both cheaper. I showed the staff and they said they need to update (increase) the online prices. If you want to try, order takeout soon but it's really not worth trying read more

Went out to Murphy Street to have dinner and the restaurant we planned for was closed so we jumped on yelp and found this place. And let me tell you we're glad we did! The place was nice inside just no room to wait for your table. All the staff were very friendly and attentive and the food was amazing so fresh and so good. We will definitely be coming back here soon. read more

Was intrigued by the glowing review of the okonomiyaki, so I decided to try it for lunch on Friday. Fugetsu is actually merged with Roko restaurant at downtown Sunnyvale. So yeah, parking was hard to find esp. during lunch time. Arrived around 1pm and ordered Deluxed okonomiyaki modan (with yakisoba noodle) - $19. The server said it would be around 20 minutes for my to-go order. I looked inside that the restaurant was pretty full so I thought 20 minutes was fair. Turned out it took me 3x asking for my order and total of 40 minutes to get 1 okonomiyaki! Since I was super hungry by the time I got my food, I decided to find a nice bench by the Caltrain station & eat my okonomiyaki. I must say the portion is pretty good for $19 okonomiyaki. However, the yakisoba was super dry and some were way overcooked to the point of crispy noodle! The deluxe supposed to have pork & seafood filling, yet the meat were in small pieces and it contained mostly shrimps. The sauce was okay but it tasted like store bought sauce. Definitely disappointed of the food & the service. read more

**This review was for a visit in July 2021** I haven't had okonomiyaki before so I was super excited to try this out with my friends. Fugetsu is part of another restaurant so we were a bit confused since there wasn't a storefront sign, but they do have menus posted outside so that's how we got in. The wait was not that long during peak dinner rush for a party of 4 - probably about a 20-30 min wait. We ordered a feast! We got the deluxe okonomiyaki and gyuniku negitama okonomiyaki both modan style, chanpon yakisoba, and negimayo shiosoba to share. I highly recommend the modan style since it has the noodles on the bottom which gets super crispy with the hot place. It does take a bit longer but I feel like it's well worth the wait! The yakisoba was good, but I do recommend getting a bit of variety to switch up the flavor palette. The sauce is a bit overpowering and can get redundant when you order multiple dishes with the same sauce. My favorites were the negimayo shiosoba and the gyuniku negitama okonomiyaki! Loved the mounds of green onion on the gyuniku one. I would definitely come again for some good food and beer to share with friends. read more

Was looking up some place to eat with a friend, and my eyes almost popped out when I saw Fugetsu moved to Sunnyvale! I love okonomiyaki but had only been to their old location in Santa Clara a couple times before the pandemic due to the wait. So I couldn't wait to try their new location and see how it is here. We came ~6:30 on a week night, and it wasn't bad at all. We were seated right away and there were still tables available. We both ordered the okonomiyaki special sampler with 4 different kinds because it just looked so enticing! Food came out at a reasonable amount of time, we knew ordering okonomiyaki would take some time and it was ok with us. All 4 from the sampler were good! I especially liked that they all have distinct flavoring so it's not just the same thing 4 times. Also you literally get a quarter piece from each and adds up to a full okonomiyaki, and they charge pretty similarly to one full one too so you're not paying a lot of extra for the sampler. Will definitely come back for more okonomiyaki goodness! read more

So I put in an order on 12/24/20 at 1:30 PM which went through and sent me a confirmation requesting I pick up after 1:50 PM at the Santa Clara location. We got there, and to our surprise, the store was closed with a sign saying "Closed for Christmas Eve & Christmas." So we called multiple tims, check the website, and waited a bit in case someone came out. We almost ordered 99 Chicken next door but decided to check the San Jose location to see if they had our order. Got there around 2:30 PM and it seems like they didn't get our order either. They took our order down and said they would work on it right away - the onigiri since they didn't have the ingredients to make it there. At that point, we were pretty hungry since we just came from a 2 hr hike. It took them ~35 minutes to make the order so we went to get drinks at N7 and pick up a cake at Paris Baguette. When we pick up the food, they profusely apologized for the inconvenience again on Christmas Eve and gave us our entire order for free. We were so shook since this was a big order but also very thankful for this "Christmas present." For the food, everything we had was good. The okonomiyaki is a must and the pork is really good! The fried chicken was the family's overall favorite. The yakisoba had an interesting flavor but not a taste I would go for again. The takoyaki was also not the best we had but overall, the food is solid and someplace we would love to come back to try the other items. Thank you Fugetsu for turning this experience into a great one read more

Friendly staff. Compared to their stores in Japan, their okonomiyaki/modanyaki has a lot less cabbage, more mayo, and sweeter batter. I wish they added more cabbage. I still enjoyed it regardless and would come back - I'm glad to see at least one shop in the bay serve pretty decent okonomiyaki! read more

The photo was what I took from one of my friends' orders. By the way, my friends were seniors. Mine was Pork NegiTsuki which I didn't really Suki Desu. Very light on meat and more eggs besides the one in topping! Waitress was a smooth talk and easy eyes. Wait time for getting seated was short but for actually getting food on the table / technically skillet was very long ; Seniors weren't happy about that though they enjoyed the food after all. O ki wait time for Okonomiyaki! So is quite the bill. read more

I feel like Fugetsu was recommended on so many platforms for good eats in Sunnyvale. But it did not meet expectations. We got the okonomiyaki with the noodles. The flavors were good, it was okay. It was on the soggier side and dense and heavy. I've had better okonomiyaki elsewhere. We also got sushi rolls, those were good, can't really go wrong with a salmon roll. We also got chicken karage. Not juicy and was just like regular nugget type. I don't think I'll be returning. read more

Great spot to pick up lunch from, especially if you live nearby or your office is in the area. Takeout only, no seating There are almost too many options to choose from-- okonomiyaki, donburi, bento, tonkotsu, poke, sashimi, and onigiri to name a few. There's a small selection of hot items, drinks, and snacks, too. I would come here and pick up lunch againp read more

We came for Okonomiyaki and we got it! For those unfamiliar, okonomiyaki is a type of savory crepe with assorted toppings of vegetables (usually cabbage), various meats or fish, and often noodles. It originated in Hiroshima, Japan. The toppings vary wildly. It is served piping hot on a cast iron plate. It was a little confusing to find the restaurant because it shares a space with another restaurant called Rokko. But there is no sign. So after confusedly driving and walking past while Siri said "you have arrived," we finally went in and got seated. They have a huge menu of other rice and noodle-based dishes like yakisoba but we came for the okonomiyaki "modan," which includes yummy crispy noodles. We also enjoyed a huge tofu salad. You need a salad to go with the richness of the okonomiyaki. It had velvety smooth tofu, lots of fresh veggies, seaweed salad and a tasty soy-based dressing. Delish. One okonomiyaki is plenty for 2 people. We had one with shrimp, pork and Kewpie mayo. SO TASTY. I want to go back to try potato and cheese. The vibe is nice, lots of wood and a big bar. Service cheerful and efficient. Prices great. We will be back. read more

Been to Fugetsu twice for dinner now and not sure if I came on an off day but the second time wasn't as good as the first. I got the pork modanyaki (okonomiyaki, but it comes with noodles as well) and it was pretty heavy/saucy. The flavor was okay, but the whole okonomiyaki was kind of soggy and not as crisp as we were expecting. We also tried 2 takoyakis (original and ebi mayo?) - they were also kind of soggy and felt a bit undercooked. Would not recommend getting the ebi mayo takoyaki, because it basically tasted like soy sauce and not much else. The service was okay, considering that the restaurant was super busy, but the food took a long time to come out. I came with a larger party and they only had a couple tables large enough to seat us, so I'd definitely recommend coming early if possible. The adjacent parking lot is also pretty small, so you may have to find street parking or walk from a further lot. read more

One of the most respected okonomiyaki restaurants from Osaka, Japan. This very popular location in Santa Clara is their first restaurant to open in the U.S. Considered among the top choices for teppanyaki (Japanese style grilled foods) and izakaya (Japanese pub) in the Silicon Valley as well. Fans of okonomiyaki - Japanese style savory pancake - will enjoy the vast flavors and authenticity of Fugetsu. Personally, any of the yakisoba (stir-fried noodle) dishes are a must-try (along with many of the hot plates, scallops and okonomiyaki). The noodles remained firm but had a great chewiness. This is attributed to noodle freshness and excellent cooking preparation. RECOMMENDED: Seafood: Seared Scallop Carpaccio, $11.50 Starters: Buttered Corn, $4 Hot Plates: Spicy Shrimp and Scallop, $11 Shimeji Mushroom Horensou Shio Butter, $6 Grilled Smelt Shishamo Butter Soy Sauce, $7 Tonpei Yaki, $7.50 Garlic Steak, $12 Buta Negi, $8 Oysters Kali Butter Soy Sauce, $8 Rice Dishes: Ikura Yaki Onigiri, $6 Okonomoyaki: Gyuniku Negi-Tama, $17.95 Ebi Mayo Cheese Seafood-Tama, $22.95 Yakisoba: Chanpon Yakisoba, $16.95 I have only experienced teppanyaki dining a handful of times and every time it has been thoroughly enjoyable. Fugetsu, however, exceeded my expectations. There is also a pop-up/take-out store in San Jose, on 4320 Moorpark Avenue. Closed on Mondays. read more

Came here for dinner on a Tuesday night. We ordered fried chicken cartilage, okonomiyaki, takoyaki and seaweed salad. I really enjoyed all four dishes but got to say the cartilage is better to eat when it's warm. Okonomiyaki was in pretty big serving and we didn't get to finish all the food. It's great to go here on a Tuesday night because after dinner you could go check out the board game night at a bar nearby that's Tuesday only I believe! read more

Fugetsu.. more like fu-get u.... Note: it takes ~20-30 minutes to prepare the okonomiyaki and yakisoba. Okonomiyaki is a Japanese style savory pancake made with cabbage, egg, flour, and choice of meat. It was my first time trying it and it was interesting to say the least. YAKISOBA Negimayo Shiosoba ($15.50) -- squid, prawn, scallops, cabbage, green onions & mayo in salt based sauce. Noodles were thick and chewy. Good amount of seafood. Fugetsuyaki ($18.95) -- house special okonomoyaki with squid, prawn, pork and beef mixed batter. It was just alright. Maybe a little too much cabbage for my liking.. Also, the bottom of my cabbage was slightly burnt and left an unpleasant aftertaste. Eh. Looking at pictures of the food looked so yummy. Sadly, taste was just mediocre. Tbh, I thought it was lacking in flavor and it didn't blow me away. Free quick item when you check in on Yelp! I got the buttered corn which they generally charge for $4. Overall, prices were expensive and food wasn't good. My parents and I were not impressed by our experience. Unfortunately, I will not be returning. read more

Service is awful! Staff is very rude. We were a party of 7 with 3 kids. We immediately wrote down our names for the waitlist and were first in line. As the restaurant was getting busier we noticed that everyone else was getting seated before us after waiting 20mins. The booths can definitely fit us but we didn't know they weren't allowed to put a high chair at the end of the table due to safety reasons. There were only 3 other tables that can fit our party. The whole time they didn't communicate this to us and left us hanging. At this point, my kids were getting really hungry and cranky so I asked the staff about it. They acted condescending about it. How should I know they weren't allowed to put a high chair at the end of the table? They were shaming me on how I will endanger my kid. If only they just communicated that the wait for a table will be very long in the first place then we would have left earlier but nothing. We ended up leaving and went to a different restaurant. Based on this experience I will never come back to this place. read more

Beautiful presentation of the modanyaki and wonderful flavors from the protein. BEWARE OF THE AMOUNT OF MAYO. The two dishes we ordered did NOT list mayo as an ingredient. While it's a common ingredient in this type of dish, we didn't think to call it out to the waiter because the other modanyakis in the menu DID have mayo listed. Not a fan of mayo personally, so this ruined the experience quite a bit for me. I hope to come back some time to try it without. read more

This place is attached to a restaurant called Bamboo. They give you both menus so you can order from either place or mix and match which is cool. It's located in downtown Sunnyvale. There is a parking lot right behind the restaurant which is convenient but it can fill up pretty fast since the lot is kind of small. I came for dinner around 6pm and was seated right away. We got a pork yakisoba and a okonomiyaki and a tuna sushi roll. The okonomiyaki took around 15-25 minutes to be prepared which was pretty long but I didn't mind the wait. It was pretty good and filling. The serving size is smaller than I was expecting but it's heavy so it was filling for me. It was pretty tasty and creamy. The pork was tender and flavorful. We ordered it with noodles (Modanyaki) which I definitely recommend. The yakisoba was delicious as well. It came in a sizzling plate so it was hot. The tuna sushi roll was very good as well. The service was good. They were helpful and refilled our waters a lot and made sure we were doing well. I enjoyed this place but it is a but expensive for what you get. I liked it but probably would not crave or come here again. It's one of the only places around here that I know sells okonomiyaki so it's definitely worth a try! read more

This review is for take-out only, as I have not tried this place before COVID. You can order online and prepay via their website (no extra charge) so if you can pick up in person, then you avoid price markups and additional fees from the third party delivery/order services. But they are also on various delivery services, so it is super convenient to order. Just keep in mind the lead time might be a while, as the estimated ready time for my order was ~45 minutes. The menu is pretty simple -- several okonomiyaki choices, yakisoba choices, some appetizers, also a few "bento box" options which combines an okonomiyaki or omelette with an appetizer and rice side. Storefront itself was pretty small and the parking lot seems pretty small if it were full under normal circumstances, but not an issue at the moment. Pick-up orders were placed at a table at the front and easy to grab while social distancing. Didn't interact much with the staff, but they did double check the name on my order before letting me take it. We ordered two okonomiyakis to share. Taste-wise, the deluxe okonomiyaki was more flavorful than the seafood one (maybe also because it came with a fried egg on top). For both, we ordered modan-style so it came with noodles in addition to the cabbage and proteins. It is a decent price for the amount you get, though I do think the flavor in the okonomiyaki could be a bit more even (not very flavorful in the batter, main flavor comes from the sauce on top). The texture was good and it is nice that you can get legit okonomiyaki in the area. Would love to come back later on to try the dine-in experience as well. read more

Fugetsu - Sunnyvale - deluxe okonomiyaki modan ($19, left), seafood okonomiyaki modan ($16, right) - Japanese Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

F O O D This review is just for the Fugetsu dishes even though we ordered from both Fugetsu and Rokko menus. Unlike other places, they offer modan-style okonomiyaki which is just okonomiyaki but topped with noods. Would highly suggest bringing people to share with, because the okonomiyakis are huge and super filling... or you can pack the glorious leftovers. For the uninitiated, okonomiyaki is a Japanese savory pancake dish consisting of wheat flour batter and other ingredients cooked on a teppan/metal griddle. Okonomi = whatever you want Yaki = grilled + Deluxe modanyaki: Everything okonomiyaki on top of crispy noodle layer. Includes pork, squid, shrimp and scallops topped with fried egg, served with house special sauce and mayo (see photo) + Cheetama Pork Okonomiyaki: Pork okonomiyaki with extra egg topping and melted cheese served with house special sauce and mayo. My Brazilian friend remarked that it reminded her of the pork from Brazil. Vegetarian order: + Potato Cheese Modanyaki: Potato cheese okonomiyaki on top of crispy noodles served with house special sauce and mayo (see photo) S E R V I C E + Immediately seated our party of 5 on a Tuesday at 7:45pm, not too crowded + Waitress was attentive and helpful with recommendations for vegetarian dishes + Didn't pressure us to leave even though we were there for what seemed like a really long time A M B I A N C E + Can be difficult to find if you don't know what you're looking for. Fugetsu shares the space in Rokko, so look for Rokko. + Ample free parking in the evening. Parking lot next to the restaurant or parking garage down the street. + Cozy but still spacious enough for large parties + Quiet on a weekday evening. My party was probably the loudest in the restaurant lol T L ; D R Hands down my favorite place to get okonomiyaki. Modan and access to Rokko's menu always a plus to balance out the okonomiyaki. Always had a great experience here. Bring a friend to sample more of the menu. read more
