About

Gaijin centers on Osaka- and Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki, including tofu and vegetable pancakes that can be prepared vegan when requested. Its warehouse-style room has hot plates built into some tables, and reviewers also call out the twice-cooked garlic, mochi donuts, and shaved ice; a recent Restaurant Week lunch was about $30 per person.
