Otafuku

Saw this spot on TV and found decent reviews online so decided to come the other day. Maybe the worst oden I’ve ever had at a shop. Dashi was lukewarm with 0 depth, ingredients were terrible (all nerimomo were soggy and starch heavy), the cabbage roll was particularly disgusting with layers and layers of stale cabbage. Even 7/11 can do better oden than this. Absolute disappointment. The only good thing about this restaurant is the cute oden themed bathrooms.

One of the best oden places in Tokyo. I got course menu, my parents loved it. Recommend it for those who are looking for something that is not too big or heavy.

This place is walking distance from the Senso-ji. We were seated on the second floor’s “oden bar”. Quite a bit of variety of oden to choose from. We ordered a variety of oden and I liked turnip, shrimp bomb and the deep fried tofu punch the most. The yellow mustard is a must and goes well with oden. The soup is light and quite tasty. Overall quite good oden but can’t say it’s the best.

Perfect rainy weather food! Walking out of the rain to the most friendly front of house staff and being seated in front of a delicious hotpot has been a highlight of my trip so far. Calling the service fast and friendly is an understatement, plus the history behind the restaurant is very unique and fascinating. Treat yourself and don't miss out on an opportunity to eat here!

Great place for some high end Oden. we ordered the set for 2 people which has about 20 pieces. The menu is extensive which also includes tempura/sashimi/rice/noodle items. Has english menu. We had a private room which was nice. Booked online. Nevertheless, this place a a little inconvenient as not near the subway. Quite a walk away from Asakusa Sensoji.

Situated in the historic Naniwa Sennichimae district, Otafuku stands as a timeless beacon of culinary excellence. Steeped in tradition since its establishment in 1912 as Asakusa Oden Otafuku, this revered establishment has weathered the storms of time, preserving its legacy with unwavering dedication. During our recent visit, my wife and I were fortunate to sample the remnants of their winter seasonal menu, an experience that left an indelible mark on our palates. The Oden, a masterpiece of simplicity and sophistication, featured an array of ingredients including taro, radish, shiitake mushrooms, and more, all simmered to perfection in a rich broth. The Crab kamaboko oden, a standout from the seasonal offerings, delighted with its exquisite flavor and delicate texture. In addition to the culinary delights, the restaurant's rich history adds an extra layer of charm to the dining experience. As descendants of generations past continue the tradition, there's a sense of continuity and reverence that permeates every aspect of Otafuku. With each bite, it's evident that Otafuku isn't just a restaurant—it's a living testament to the enduring power of culinary craftsmanship and familial legacy. As we departed, we couldn't help but feel a profound sense of gratitude for the opportunity to partake in this time-honored tradition. Otafuku has earned not only our patronage but also our heartfelt admiration and respect.

It was an impressive experience having traditional Japanese 🍢 Oden, seasonal items, and other cooking. All food is umami, the environment is quiet, and atmospheric.

Highly not recommend 6500 yen package. Just order 2750 yen for ODEN only. You will know why.

Way out there in Asakusa is Otafuku which serves oden over a heated copper pot. The oden here is incredible, but be aware you probably will be surrounded with smoke as people like to drink and smoke cigarettes here later in the evening. There is an English menu here which resembles the Japanese menu.

Interesting experience. Oden pot for one person is 2500 yen. Octopus feet is really tender and worth a try.

I am a big fun of Otafuku. Sure that Otafuku serves best Oden in Japan!!
