Quick, cheap, good - Edit
Everything about this place is convenient. It's in a good location central to everything, the food is cheap, tasty and comes out very quickly. The man that served us spoke vgood English and was very efficient. The daily lunch was very large and is more than enough on its own. I didn't know this and ordered a hummus sandwich as well, which was also tasty and cheap but really stretched my appetite! As others have said, the food here isn't special, but it is perfect for those looking for a good feed without wasting any time.

Spacious busy spot - Edit
This was one of the biggest spots I ate at in Japan (which doesn't mean much in Japan). Dispite the "vegan" in the description it is not fully vegan. The do offer cheese and milk but seems like mostly everything could be made vegan. I got a pasta dish that was very good but realized after I probably should have asked if it was vegan.
Read morePros: Well spoken english/english menu
Cons: Not exactly sure what's vegan vs veg

This is my second visit and it doesn't disappoint! Really flavoursome food and lovely staff who speak English well. Lunch sets change daily and both of mine were superb, it was burritos today and they were so tasty! Incredible value for money.

Simply perfect - Edit
I'm sitting there right now and it is just awesome. English speaking, really welcoming staff and great vegan/vegetarian food for a reasonable price. The owner came to talk to me and gave me great tips for vegetarian restaurants in Osaka and even invited me for coffee. After I paid, he gave me some rice cookies to take away. One of the best experiences in Osaka so far!

Hearty food, sells homemade cookies - Edit
The food portions her are good. I enjoyed the set lunch plate, it had a variety of items that were all nice and it was reasonably priced. Like others have said, nothing here is outstanding but it is a good place to eat for unfussy, quick, hearty food. The owner speaks good English and is very friendly!
Read moreThey sell takeaway cookies at the counter, and these were quite nice and great to buy to eat while walking around Osaka as a break from convenience store rice!! I would recommend the tofu pumpkin muffin thing, or the chai cookie.
Pros: Good portions, Homemade, takeaway cookies

Good vegetarian restaurant - Edit
This is a good vegetarian restaurant with a lot of vegan choices. The food is freshly prepared and the portion sizes are good but it's average in terms of the food taste, ie, there is nothing particularly outstanding on the menu.
Read morePros: Friendly staff, Good value
Cons: Nothing outstanding, Nearly all the dishes contain gluten

Good value, quick service, tasty - Edit
I had the "Lunch of the day", and ordered a soy burger to go for later, came to 1450¥ in total. The food came within 10 minutes, tasted fresh and good. The waiter speaks great English, and was as helpful as you could expect, no smiles, but fast and efficient.

Green Earth, Osaka - Edit
1stly to clear up some confusion. This establishment is defo not 100% vegan. The blurb on the menu inside cover clearly states they offer lacto milk and lacto cheese. I asked the server who confirmed that info to be correct.
Read moreThis was great food and the best value for money I've encountered so far in my admittedly short stay in Japan. The set deal was great value and great taste at 700 yen. My spouse ordered a salad that was similarly delicious.
This place would defo be a 5 rating from me if it were 100% vegan.
Pros: Vegan friendly, Good value, Great tasting food
Cons: Shame about the lacto milk and lacto cheese

Green Earth is one of the best vegetarian restaurants in Japan - Edit
Green Earth is one of my favorite restaurants in Japan (on my top 3). The owners are kind, spontaneous Osaka-jin, and their food is both very tasty and cheap. There's a nice little seating area outside too. And it's near Shinsaibashi

what a great lunch spot! - Edit

A must-visit - Edit
I've been here 3 times: Once as a tourist two years back, and twice since moving here.
Read moreGreen Earth is a very sweet restaurant. The owner and his wife are wonderful people; his English is excellent. It's quaint but proud.
They specialize in lunch sets. For an unbeatable price, you get a good meal that changes day to day. Easily one of the best deals in Osaka veg dining! I had burritos today; the other day it was corn cakes - always with soup, salad and a small side.
And if you're still hungry or want something else, the rest of the menu is robust and won't let you down. Then there are baked goodies.
Track the hours; it's usually just lunchtime, though they have a Friday-night dinner (which I want to try). If they're open and you're near and/or hungry, go to Green Earth!
Pros: Awesome value , Great owners that provide excellent service, Quality/quantity of food
Cons: Only open a small portion of the day, Aesthetic too plain for image-conscious diner

Timing is bit off but the food's good! - Edit
Went there with 2 Japanese friends and we ordered 2 daily specials and 1 curry. The daily specials came really quickly but we were nearly halfway our meals when the curry came... My friend enjoyed the curry though so it ended up alright :) But if timing bothers you maybe you could explicitly ask for everything to be brought together?
Read moreI had the daily special which was lasagne mmm. Ordered a large portion of rice because I was hungry. Felt full afterwards so no complaints there!
Also has a small shop with dried soy meat and tasty vegan muffins.
Revisited last week. My friend had the apple pie but it didn't look appetising and it didn't taste any good either - dry and hardly any filling. I had the soy milk sauce and ham spaghetti which was OK but nothing special.
The waiter was unfriendly both times I went. The first time I thought hey everyone has a bad day every once in a while but if it happens twice I'll write about it. They hardly looked up when we came in. The waiter was in a hurry even though there weren't many customers. He was also distracted so we had to repeat our order twice. He didn't seem to care and didn't bother to give water refills. Same attitude both times.

Pros: good portions, daily specials are served quickly

An Osaka Must! - Edit
An unassuming spot located in the Hommachi area (about a 5-10min walk from the station) with friendly staff and a relatively extensive menu, including daily specials. The portions are generous and the food is delicious! If you're in the area - it's s must-try. If you're not, make it a destination - you won't be disappointed!
Read morePros: Great food, Great staff, Great value
