About this spot
Monja Taro serves up thick, savory monjayaki that is distinct from the thinner okonomiyaki found elsewhere in Tokyo. The batter is rich with seafood and vegetables, cooked to a gooey perfection right before your eyes at this Tsukishima staple.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the 'monja' option for a large, shareable plate rather than the smaller 'okonomi' size if you are hungry.
- Bring cash only, as most monjayaki spots in Tokyo do not accept credit cards or IC cards.
- Be prepared to wait 10–15 minutes for your table after ordering, as the batter is mixed fresh upon arrival.
