About
Teppan okonomiyaki, generous-sauce yakisoba and miso motsunabe in a small, quiet Amsa-dong izakaya.
At Himo, the useful question is whether you want your okonomiyaki (오코노미야끼) cooked on the teppan or brought out finished; you can ask for either. The small room has a quiet, Japanese alley-izakaya feel, with counter seats and tables, including some larger ones farther inside. The okonomiyaki is a good place to start: it comes with plenty of sauce and a filling center, and at ₩15,000 it works as a main to share or keep to yourself. Yakisoba (야끼소바), also ₩15,000, is another owner-recommended order. Reviewers say the portion is larger than expected, so pairing it with the okonomiyaki can be more food than a casual second round needs. For a slower, warming dish, try the motsunabe (모츠나베), ₩32,000: its miso-based broth is described as deep and savory, a little salty but not greasy. There is a spicy version at the same price. These are drinking-food dishes, but the hotpot also makes sense as the center of a meal. Expect a compact izakaya rather than a roomy group venue. There are bar-counter and table seats, and staff can serve the teppan dishes finished if you prefer not to watch them cook. Around 8pm, one reported wait is about ten minutes; weekend evenings can bring a line, so arrive near opening or come later for a second stop. Himo opens at 6pm, stays open until midnight Sunday through Thursday, and until 1am Friday and Saturday; it is closed Sunday. Parking is available in the apartment basement lot. It suits a date, a catch-up over drinks, or a small dinner with friends. For a large group, space is the main limitation, and one reviewer was unhappy with the draft beer, so consider ordering around the food instead.
