Best Dishes at Okan
Yakisoba (King Prawn & Squid)
MainsThe Infatuation highlights this as 'excellent signature king prawn and squid yaki soba' served in big portions. Thick, chewy noodles are stir-fried with vegetables and topped with the same bonito flakes and mayo as the okonomiyaki. Everything you get is under a tenner.
Pork Belly Okonomiyaki
MainsThe okonomiyaki is a layered savory pancake made with eggs, cabbage, and pork belly cooked on the griddle. Topped with proper servings of bonito fish flakes (which flutter and curl from the heat), seaweed flakes, and Japanese mayo. The Infatuation calls out pork belly as a standout dish. Made to order and served piping hot.
Edamame
SidesA simple Japanese classic — warm steamed edamame beans lightly salted. A perfect side or starter to share while waiting for your main. Low price makes it easy to add to any order.
Spicy Miso Udon Pot
MainsA warming alternative to the stir-fried dishes. Thick chewy udon noodles in a deeply flavored spicy miso broth. Works well as a quick lunch or light dinner. The small size keeps prices down while delivering full flavor.
King Prawn, Kimchi & Squid Okonomiyaki
MainsThe Okan special features king prawns and squid for extra protein and umami, plus kimchi for a spicy kick. Same preparation as the pork version — cooked to order and topped with the signature bonito and mayo. This is the premium option on the menu.

Okan is tiny — only 20 covers. Go early or expect a wait, especially on weekends. Takeaway is a solid option.
Watch the okonomiyaki cook on the griddle in front of you. The bonito flakes dancing from the heat are part of the experience. Ask them to use extra mayo if you like.
Everything is under £10 except the king prawn special at £13.95. The yakisoba portions are generous for the price. Pair with edamame for a complete meal.
