• 15/03/24This is my first time ordering from Gaijin and I will be ordering again! The okonomiyaki is so nicely presented, the Bonito flakes were still moving, and it tasted amazing! The okonomi sauce was also a 10 out of 10!

• 16/07/23Went to Gaijin for a date night and the food was awesome! We tried the yakisoba (noodles reminded me of High Five Ramen), and the beef osaka-style pancake. Def want to go back and try the pork belly and octopus as well.

• 30/04/24The item listed as marinated short rib was sliced, tough steak, hard to chew and not from the short rib. I ordered a vegetable dish and they substituted a fried mushroom ball that was utterly tasteless unless drowned in sauce. Very disappointing, especially for the price

• 14/07/22I had a lunch special and the portions are crazy small for $20 or so. Especially with only 4 pieces of shrimp and 3 munchkins.
