I found this place mentioned on Chowhound while looking for Japanese restaurants in LA that serve okonomiyaki. To my surprise I found a place that, like many places in Japan, let you cook yourself! You can order the okonomiyaki cooked in the kitchen, but it is more fun to cook it yourself. Each Teppan Grill sits 4-6 people. You will give you a flyer with instructions for cooking the okonmiyaki.

I'm sure it'll be better overtime. The only grid is...
