About
Haci is what Warsaw's Japanese community whispers about when they want to eat exactly as they would back home. Wanderlog and travel reviewers describe it as 'a cozy and atmospheric restaurant run by a Japanese family, offering authentic Japanese street snacks.' Warsaw Insider names it 'a whispered little secret' among Japanese expats – one of the most powerful authenticity signals any restaurant can carry. The menu centres on Kansai-region street food: six variations of okonomiyaki (squid being the must-try), golden takoyaki octopus balls, and yakisoba. The intimacy of the space and the family behind the counter ensure the food matches what one would find in Osaka's Dotonbori.
