Okan is a cosy Japanese restaurant on the South Bank that specialises in Osaka-style street food, with okonomiyaki at its heart.
The interiors are small, lively, and casual, designed to feel like the canteens of Osaka with open kitchen counters, Japanese posters, and the sound of sizzling batter on hotplates.
The menu centres on savoury pancakes layered with cabbage, meat, seafood, or cheese, finished with sauces and toppings, alongside yakisoba, gyoza, and small plates.
It’s straightforward, flavourful food that captures the energy of Japan’s street markets.
