Okaeri Cafe

It was our first time coming here yesterday. We loved it. The food and coffee was great! I had their omurice and it was filling! I wish there was more of the glaze though—yummy and cute presentation! My boyfriend had the curry katsu, that was okay! He still finished it but we did agree having better. For appetizers, we had the loaded fries and okonomiyaki pancake! They were delicious no doubt! The reason why I give them five stars is because of the ambiance, interior, and customer service. DO KEEP IN MIND, that this is a café so do not expect 5 star Michelin gourmet food. It’s supposed to be comforting and that’s definitely what Okaeri achieved. We will definitely come back!

Little Japan in Dallas! 10/10

First come first serve seating, order at the counter and fight for a spot. The seats where you sit on the ground is really appealing at first but the table is really small. It's a lap desk and can fit two plates at most with very little room. Food is cute and decent. It's cafe food not restaurant so keep your expectations low. I like the loaded fries crunchy and lots of food flavors. Most of the things are decent here, but I can say with confidence that you shouldn't get the chicken katsu onigirazu. It was terrible lol. Soggy and unfresh tasting. Parking: Limited parking in front but a huge parking lot right at the neighboring building

My only regret is not coming here sooner! Everyone who works here is so sweet. We weren't sure what to order and they were patient and helpful. Ordered the okonomiyaki pancake, yakisoba doggo, and katsu doggo. It was our first trying Japanese hot dogs and they were amazing! The crispy katsu dog and the savory yakisoba noodles plus, Japanese Mayo and sauces were so delicious! I also got the strawberry green tea and it was absolutely perfect. I spilled mine right when it got to the table and not only were they so nice about it, but they brought me a new drink! We highly recommend this Cafe and will definitely be back.

Great place, friendly staff they made great recommendations.

If you are looking for authentic Japanese. This is not the place to go. Omurice was not a traditional dish, but the hot dog was not bad. Cute environment and nice atmosphere.

Bento box with pork was great. The interior of the cafe is well decorated. Kid-friendliness: Very cute decorations
