Description

Think it might be a nightclub owned by Joey Buttafuoco? Nope--it's an Osaka-style street-food stand where the specialty is a gooey pancake called otafuku, which means "cook what you like." While the range of offerings doesn't match that of a similar establishment at the Japanese mall in Edgewater, New Jersey, Otafuku provides a fine intro to the genre, featuring ingredients such as shrimp, unsmoked bacon, and squid. Also offered: fried octopus balls (who knew they had balls?).

  • 2004 | Grossest gutbomb

    This formidable category entails creating a foodstuff that's dense, greasy, sweet, and full of character, and the award knows no ethnic boundaries. At OTAFUKU, the beloved and authentically Japanese food stall, the foremost gutbomb is okonomiyaki, a pair of shredded-vegetable pancakes in a dense batter fried with a slice of pork belly annealed to the surface. The pancake is a lard sponge. Then it's topped with sweet dark sauce and squirted with mayo. More »

  • 2000 | Gooiest Okonomiyaki

    Cruise up to the window on 9th Street and put in your order for okonomiyaki ("eat what you like"), the Japanese street-food snack. These eggy rice-starch pancakes are loaded, at your direction, with goodies like shrimp, squid, pork, green onions, corn, cabbage, and pickled ginger and nicely browned on both sides. Otafuku has one other specialty--fried octopus fritters called takoyaki. More »
