Good choice! - Edit
It is indeed somewhat hard to find. Take the elevator to the 4th floor. I had the vegan okonomiyaki without toppings and it was a bit salty, but really good. Clean and seperate tools were used for preparation.

Delicious Okonomiyaki - Edit
Absolutely worth the 15 min wait since this was the best Okonomiyaki I have had throughout my Japan trip. There is only one vegan side dish (Edamame) but since the Okonomiyaki itself is filling it is not necessarily needed to have something else. Friendly staff and absolutely authentic "Japan" experience!

Excellent vegan okonomiyaki - Edit
They cook the vegan version with separate utensils, different oil, and are very respectful of the separation. Clearly set out on back page of the English menu with fun topping additions. Delicious 😋 and super fun okonomiyaki experience.

Traditionelles Essen in vegan - Edit
Etwas versteckt in einem Haus, bei dem man zuerst nur das Treppenhaus sieht, befinden sich viele Restaurants dieser Art. Es gab eine Karte mit der veganen und vegetarischen Option. Das Essen wir direkt vor einem auf der heißen Platte zubereitet. Etwas sehr besonderes und super lecker.

This will be your first vegan okonomiyaki - Edit
We were looking for the famous vegan Hiroshima okonomiyaki. You will find this restaurant in the 4th floor of Okonomimura.
Read moreThey have an english menu and the owners speak english. They have a vegan okonomiyaki with multiple vegan and vegetarian toppings. I had okonomiyaki with green onions (for free), garlic chips and shiso (japanese basil), aswell as a draft beer. My girlfriend had a rice cake, which i can recommend.
The food was prepared in front of you. They don't cheap out on cabbage, sprouts and green onions. The okonomiyaki is topped of with a rich teriyaki sauce, of which you can add more for free. The okonomiyaki was amazing. The soba was chewy, the vegetables were fresh. The pancake was subtle but pleasant.
The owners were nice. One of the women working there was even chatting with us. I paid around 1300¥.
Must try in Hiroshima! Would definitely recommend it!

Great vegan and vegetarian okonomiyake - Edit
It was fun to watch the chefs at work, the food is great, and we really enjoyed the experience. They have special vegan and vegetarian options, clearly marked. In a building seemingly filled with separately operated Okonomiyake bars, head to the 4th floor, walk toward the back of the building. Roku has a blue awning. Since it’s on Happy Cow, you’ll probably find the other hungry vegans there like we did! On the Wednesday evening we visited, it opened at 5:30.
Read morePros: Clearly marked vegan and vegetarian options. , Friendly couple making the food. , Fun to watch all the preparation.

It's a great place to enjoy okonomiyaki on the 4th floor. The preparation is a real show too. It's a popular spot with the locals.

Tasty Okonomiyaki - Edit
Its true that it is not that obvious to find when you are not familiar with the japenese writing/letters. With Google maps it was ok. The people there were really nice and vegan was possible. We liked the okonomiyaki, they were really tasty. Would recommend it!

Decent - Edit
Pretty hard to figure out what actually was vegan, but the dish was fairly nice. Quite greasy, but I guess that’s the point?

Great vegan okonomiyaki! - Edit
Delicious, healthy and filling! The owner showed us the two options that could be made vegan - was fun to watch him cook everyone's orders right in front of us. He cooked our vegan okonomiyaki entirely separately from the others, so no accidental mix ups.
Read moreWatch out if you're ordering the vegetarian version - as mentioned in another review below this includes the fish sauce that is used on all the general menu items.

Pros: Healthy, authentic option, Entertaining to watch
Cons: Vegetarian version includes fish sauce, Quite a long wait, but worth it

Fishy taste - Edit
Finally had the chance to taste the famous Vegatarian Okonomiyaki at Roku, and we were so excited while waiting!
Read moreI ordered one of the courses without meat, and said I was vegetarian. It was no problem.
When the food finally came, it was the most fishy flavour we’ve had in years. I don’t know how this place has so many good reviews? Maybe we were unlucky? I understand that cross contamination could be problem, but this tasted like it had been soaked in fish oil… We couldn’t finish our meal, and are considering only eating at vegan places from now on to avoid another similar situation.
I’m truly very sad to say this, but we were so excited and looking forward to a somewhat authentic japanese experience, and our night basically got ruined at this place…
Pros: Authentic teppanyaki, English speaking chef
Cons: Fishy taste, more than just cross contamination

Veggie options but would be hard going for vegans - Edit
An okonomiyaki stand in the famous okonomimura food hall. Vegan options aren’t advertised but the chef speaks a bit of English and I was able to ask for vegetarian (with egg) It’s cooked alongside the meat pancakes with the same implements but he does take care to keep them separate. These pancakes aren’t to my taste personally and I would think without the egg would be pretty dry. But a good option for those wanting to try a regional specialty in atmospheric surroundings. (Albeit entirely full of tourists!)
Read morePros: Atmosphere
Cons: The pancakes! (But that’s personal preference)

Sehr lecker - Edit
Es war ein richtig cooles Erlebnis dort zu essen! Die Leute sind sehr nett und das Essen (vegane Okonomiyaki) einfach super lecker. Man muss nur sagen, dass man etwas veganes haben möchte und dann ist das gar kein Problem, sie helfen noch bei der Auswahl. Echt super!

Fun experience and yummy food - Edit
We struggled a little to find it as there is no signage downstairs! Enter Okinimura and take the lift to the 4th floor and follow the hallway until the end! I do recommend giving this place a try- the staff were so so friendly and it was a lot of fun. Only rating 3 stars as I didn’t love the flavour of the sauce and noodles as much (but I do think this is personal taste- nothing they did wrong)
Read morePros: Friendly staff, Lots of fun! , Filling

Got the veg version versus the vegan, and was truly delicious. To find the shop, get off the elevator on the th floor, turn right and walk around the corner. The name Roku is written in English on their blue flag.

Great experience - Edit
Went here yesterday, and we were very lucky to be seated pretty quickly!
Read moreI asked about vegan options, and they told me what can be veganized (no milk, no egg, no meat/fish). What is really great here, is that you can see them preparing the food. They use a seperate egg-free batter for the okonomiyaki and made sure the grill was cleaned and that my food didn't come in contact with the other okonomiyaki that contained meat. They even used seperate equipment (except for the grill of course)!
It was really nice to see, I appreciate how accomodating they were!
The okonomiyaki was also very good. Apparently not having a fried egg on top really lets the sauce penetrate the entire dish through the noodles, which makes it even better than the non-vegan version! (according to my non-vegan friends)
I can only recommend going here when you are in Hiroshima. The only downside I can think of, is that I imagine you could have to wait for a while if you are a larger group, since this is a pretty small restaurant.

Hiroshima Style okonomiyaki - Edit
This Restaurant was really good. The whole building is full with okonomiyaki places, but from what I saw, this is the only one offering vegan okonomiyaki in the building. They know vegan and vegetarian and also made sure to ask If different ingredients were okay. Everything is cooked on the same plate, but they cleaned it pretty well, seperated my order from the non veggie dishes and also used extra utensils. The vegetarian and vegan options aren't labelled, just tell them you want vegan and they will tell you which options can be veganized. They were really friendly and it was a nice experience.

I have always wanted to try okonomiyaki and it was a great experience! You say you are vegetarian/vegan they ask your yes's and no's and then recommend.
Read moreThe food was good!
I had the cheese rice cake and paid 1300 for it. You could probably get it without cheese.
It's on the 4th floor to the right.

Easy to get vegan options - Edit
This is located in Okonimura, which has 3 floors of outlets selling Okonomkyaki and has a very cool vibe. Would have liked to have tried one at random but most signs are in Japanese so took the safe route of the Happy Cow recommended one. Owners were really helpful, spoke English and asked what I could and couldn’t eat. Cooked veggie option separately and used separate knives (not sure this was 100% adhered to). Also cooked meat right in front of where you’re sat (if that isn’t your thing).
