Located in the Kyoto Avanti Mall just south of JR Kyoto Station, Chibo is a premier destination for authentic Osaka-style okonomiyaki. As a renowned chain with over 60 branches worldwide, Chibo offers a consistent, high-quality dining experience that is particularly well-suited for families and international travelers. With an English-language menu and a dedicated kids’ menu, it is one of the most accessible and stress-free dining options in the station area.
Signature Okonomiyaki & Teppanyaki
Chibo specializes in teppanyaki dishes cooked on hot plates right at your table. The standout item is the Signature Chibo Okonomiyaki, a savory pancake loaded with premium ingredients including beef, pork, scallops, and tiger prawns, mixed with cabbage, eggs, red ginger, and grated mountain yam (tororo). The result is a rich, textured dish that captures the essence of Osaka’s culinary heritage without needing to travel to Dotonbori.
For those seeking variety, the menu also features classic yakisoba (stir-fried noodles), crispy gyoza, and other teppanyaki specialties. To complete the meal, guests can enjoy refreshing highballs or soft drinks.
Ideal for Families & Groups
Chibo is highly recommended for families traveling with children. The kids’ menu offers smaller portions of okonomiyaki and yakisoba, ensuring younger diners have age-appropriate options. The spacious interior and completely non-smoking environment make it a comfortable choice for groups and solo travelers alike.
Given its location just a 2-minute walk from Kyoto Station’s Hachijo East Exit, Chibo is an excellent choice for a quick lunch before sightseeing or a relaxing dinner after a day of travel. Reservations are accepted and recommended during peak hours.
