Kozy Okonomi-yaki Teppan-yaki

A great and overlooked late-night hangout. Open until 4am, last order at 3:30am. Cozy atmosphere, has a large counter seating about 10 facing the teppan, or iron griddle, where the cooks make their magic. Menu somewhat limited and not particularly vegetarian friendly. Started out with cheese omelet, eggs cooked to perfect texture with cheese. Gooey and stretchy but not overly so. A nice but uninspiring starter. Main hits were the filet steak with fried garlic slices, which was cooked perfectly and served atop some toast. Hint: don't eat the toast with the steak. The waitstaff will take the toast away and then dress it with a variety of sauces, the remaining garlic, melted cheese and slice it up into pieces. A perfect post-steak snack. Main draw is the Okonomiyaki, a popular dish in Osaka that is essentially a pancake that sits on top of or among eggs, meat and cabbage. It can, but does not always contain cheese, green onions, fried noodles, bonito flakes or a host of other things. Okonomiyaki is a meal of its own or a great late night bite after a night out... To top it all off, beers are HKD 38 for draft, which is a bargain in this part of town and a great way to start (or end) the night.

Credit Cards accepted. Reservations suggested, though probably not needed.
