In most of the shops the customers grill it by themselves at the table furnished with an iron plate (as for modanyaki, it is troublesome to mix the dough with noodles and so the staff grills it in the kitchen and serves the finished one), but mostly, until grilled up, a set of the spatulas, chopsticks and small dishes are served to the customer by the shop and the spatulas are used only for turning it over and cutting it up and the chopsticks are used by many when eating.
大抵の店舗は鉄板を備え付けたテーブル席にて客自身が焼く場合が多いのだが（モダン焼きは麺と合わす手間があるので厨房で焼いて完成品を出してくれる）、焼きあがるまでに店がヘラと割り箸と小皿をセットで客に出すことがほとんどなので、ヘラは返しと完成後の分割作業のみに用い、割り箸で食す者が圧倒的に多い。
