Okan in Lambeth

Amazing cozy little place serving authentic Japanese food including Okonomiyaki. Food is delicious and staff is very friendly too. It's advisable to book a table as place fills up quickly. Highly recommended

Homey and delicious food in an excellent environment. Personable service too, who will recommend you what to order if you're unsure. Decent selection of drinks and food is served not too slowly given the constant full house and few staff.Especially enjoy the oden which I think is a winter special?? Okonomitaki was a whole vibe, different from what you would usually get in a good waySame for tamagoyaki. Osakan style cooking through and through! To my surprise the desserts were excellent too.Make sure to book beforehand if visiting on a weekend or for dinner.

Very cosy place with a authentic feel, fast service and friendly staff. I'm glad I booked ahead for lunch on a Sunday as they had to turn a lot of customers away because they were so busy. I ate the pork okonomiyaki and house saki followed by chocolate moshi ice-cream - delicious!

I was initially drawn to this place because of their authentic interior space and okonomiyaki.The service was great and the staff was super friendly and efficient. There is a very authentic ambiance to the restaurant.Food and drinks were delicious and reasonably priced. The dishes came in a very orderly manner, so there was time to enjoy each single one of them. Definitely somewhere I would want to visit again in the near future.

Love this authentic Japanese place. A little jem behind the London eye. I’ve been here many times already and I’d always go back. Best booking in advance because the place is very small. The food is really delicious and authentic, a must try!

As we walked in for lunch it felt like we transported into a little back room bar and eatery in Japan. All the cooking is done in full view of the seats at the bar, and I kinda wished we'd booked seats at the bar.The okonomiyaki were amazing, really authentic, as were the gyoza, best I've had outside of Japan. The sake was also really nice, really clean and crisp.We were a little disappointed that our initial choice of dessert and the sweet sake weren't available, but our second choice of yuzu cheesecake was delicious.I'd go back in a heartbeat!

Walking in felt like going to Japan, the interior is so Authentic. We ordered the Padron Pepper as starters which is soooo tasty, followed by a special Okonomiyaki and spicy tofu miso udon. The fried egg made it tastier so would recommend adding one if you order a Okonomiyaki. It is a short distance walk from Waterloo station/London Eye. Very small restaurant so better to book in advance. Been back twice already and definitely will be a third ☺️🤤❤️

Lots of different side dishes and good selection of okonomiyakis to choose from. The decor is very authentic Japanese. It’s like you’ve stepped through into Japan. Can’t go wrong really.

Tiny cute place with authentic decor. Food was a bit too salty but it’s not a big problem. We were sitting in the bar and It was really nice to be able to watch chef cooking in front of you.Good value for money. One thing, they don’t have a washroom inside.

Really amazing place for the price! It's great for casual lunches, week-day dinners and with people who prefer something more authentic and understated. Loving the authentic Japanese interior too.I originally booked this as a birthday booking for a friend. The staff were kind enough to message me and inform that they don't do birthday candles/cake in advance, which is a shame. Just a heads up for anyone looking at this venue for a special occasion.We decided to go anyway and enjoyed the delicious Japanese style omelettes and stir frys and my friend the birthday queen really enjoyed the food.Might pop in again for the good value for money for a casual lunch.
