Chibo Dotonbori Building

The flagship of Chibo, the okonomiyaki chain founded in Osaka in 1973, fills an entire building in Dotonbori: six floors of griddle tables, tatami rooms with low tables and a teppan counter, about 200 seats in all. The 7th floor houses CHIBO Diversity, a dining room run as Muslim & Vegetarian Friendly.

Corporate use

Group okonomiyaki without logistical compromise: one building, several floors and tatami rooms, so a large group can be split by floor while dining at the same address. Staff cook and finish the okonomiyaki at the table, including the 'mayo beam' that always entertains international guests. For Muslim or vegetarian guests, the 7th-floor CHIBO Diversity room is the one to choose.

Private rooms & private hire

About 200 seats from the 1st to the 6th floor, at griddle tables, in tatami (zashiki) rooms and at a teppan counter. The exact layout and capacity per floor are confirmed by the restaurant. On the 7th floor, CHIBO Diversity is a separate dining room.

The menu

Osaka okonomiyaki (including the best-selling 'Dotonbori-yaki' with pork, shrimp, squid, cheese and beef tendon), the Chibo-yaki with a whole prawn, negiyaki with Kujo leek, yakisoba and teppan dishes. English menu, regional sake and shochu, all-you-can-drink options for groups. Fully non-smoking.

Frequently asked questions

Can it host a group of 50 or more?

Yes, the building has about 200 seats over six floors; we ask the restaurant to confirm the floor allocation and available tatami rooms.

What about Muslim or vegetarian guests?

The CHIBO Diversity room on the 7th floor is dedicated to Muslim & Vegetarian Friendly dining; its hours are shorter (12:00–15:00 and 17:00–22:00).

Do guests cook themselves?

No, staff cook and finish the okonomiyaki on the table griddle; guests simply share it.

What are the hours?

Every day 11:00–23:00, last order 22:00.
