Friday night - Edit
Nice food and very good prices. The portions are filling and the service is friendly and efficient. I had the spicy "chicken" and for dessert, which was amazing, I had the cake with ice cream.

Decent food at a decent price - Edit
Based on reviews on Happy Cow I went to Green Earth restaurant. It is relatively easy to find because it is on a road parallel to "Mido-suji" which is one of the main roads in central Osaka. There's a prominent Happy Cow sticker on the door, which was very assuring.
Read moreThe restaurant isn't exactly cosy and looks more like a cheap office canteen than a restaurant. The menu is available in English and the waitress showed pictures of each dish on her phone. Great service!
I ordered the "Soy BBQ with rice bowl" and it was brought to me swiftly. The soy was a brown substance which didn't really have a joy like bite, but it was okay. The ingredients didn't taste like top quality ingredients, but then again the prices are very low. The rice bowl was a mere 650 yen, so one cannot expect top quality at that price. Instead the Green Earth restaurant offers decent vegan food at a very decent price.
As reported before: the restaurant is open daily for lunch. It is only open on Friday evening for dinner.
Pros: cheap, easy to find, good service
Cons: not the best in town

one of Japan's best places - Edit
This is Japan's oldest vegan restaurant
Read more99% vegan with one exception: you can request regular cheese on the pizza, otherwise you'll get soy or cashew cheese
Pros: location in Osaka, price, quality
Cons: wish they had a Tokyo location also!

Wonderful Hidden Gem - Edit
There is really nothing negative that could be said about this cute, reasonably-priced, friendly restaurant, except I wish they were open later. Though, there are open those pesky hours between 2~5 when many other vegetarian options are closed.

Cheap & Simple (not Gourmet) - Edit
Nice place, nice staff, chep prices. It's a kind of western Style vegan restaurant That sound strange in Japan. It would match the american or australian taste for vegan food. For an european taste would probably be too Simple at not gourmet. Then serve organic beer from switzerland and I think it would be nice to serve LOCAL organic beer. Anyway it's nice to find 100% vegan place around the world, so thank you Green Hearth for your every day kitchen, treats, pizza and sandwich.

Great place all hand made food - Edit
We were so happy when we found this place! It was a busy lunch time and and we got the meal of the day and a pizza! Both of which were entirely hand made (choice of 3 types of "cheese" on the pizza we had cashew and it was great!). We enjoyed talking to the waiter as it gradually slowed down and had 2 desserts a slice of tofu cheesecake and a hot pumpkin pie pocket! They were so great and we picked up some health food treats on our way out!! Great value for money and excellent service!!!

Fantastic! - Edit
I just went with two non-vegetarians and all three of us were raving about the food (2 of us American, 1 Japanese). That says a lot! Pretty good size menu, many options, English menu, extremely reasonable prices and tons of vegan pastries. I'll definitely go back again this week!

Fantastic! Do not hesitate you will be rewarded :) - Edit
The food is great, the menu is the best selection I've ever come across at any vegetarian restaurant - not only vegan but you can also order most things without garlic (which I hate because it makes you stink no matter what garlic munchers would have you believe are the magic qualities of garlic), and without onions, leeks, chives, green onions, etc. - so the food it super clean!!!
Read moreMr. Ito - the owner / waiter - is refreshingly friendly and speaks very good English! Mrs. Ito and her staff are excellent cooks who make home-cooked vegan food the way it should be!
The whole experience is very down-to-earth -- from the very reasonable prices to the clean, simple quality of food and selection, to the easy-going atmosphere of the place. -- This is one of my favorite vegetarian restaurants in the world! I wish it were in New York! My only complaint is that they were out of matcha soy pudding which I really wanted to try - oh, well, next time.
HIGHLY Recommended. Easy to find just walk out of exit 15 at Hommachi station and make the first left and walk a little more than one block down a quiet street. You will pass a Shinto shrine complex on your right, then a corner interior gas station on your right, then look on your left across from the gas station and you'll see a little woody-looking place with a sign "Green Earth". Call ahead to see if they're open if you can because sometimes they're not as the owners appear to run the whole operation by themselves with minimal staff.
Pros: WONDERFUL food, Down-to-earth, Affordable

Simply perfect! - Edit
Finding Green Earth was like finding a gem. The food was absolutely delicious and the owners very knowledgable about vegan food. The prices are very reasonable -- especially for how delicious the food is! I bought a chai cookie to-go, and it too was absolutely wonderful. I have several upcoming trips to Osaka planned, and will return to Green Earth each time! I highly recommend this restaurant!

Cheap and Yummy - Edit
Just adding some directions, agree with reviews above!
Read moreTake exit 15 of Honmachi Station. Go straight and take the next left. Walk about a block and on the right you should see a petrol/gas station. Green Earth is just a little further down on the left hand side.
Well worth a vist for a cheap and yummy lunch.
Pros: cheap, lots to choose from, healthy

Cheap and Delicious - Edit
Lunch set changes daily. Also pizza, with vegan options, excellent burger and hot dogs, sandwiches, pasta. I always get the tofu pudding to eat and then buy some of the awesome cookies to take home. I'm not entirely sure if it's all vegan; I think they offer some milk options in drinks and pizza and may have some noodles containing egg. But they have English-speaking staff who will guide you. The vegan cheese option on the pizza on the English menu was crossed off but it is present on the Japanese menu and still available.

irreprochable - Edit
the best thing about Green Earth is the name. secondly, the welcoming board says "welcome", and on its backside says "thank you". this brought me to tears. ok now on to the food.
Read morefood is good and varied, with pastas, sandwhiches, burgers, and what else i don't remember. I just remember it's extensive enough to eat there every day. Every day because it is cheap, in the good sense. This is the place you want to go to if you're on a budget travelling or want to eat somewhere amazing everyday. 700 yen for a filling course. Their is more focus on taste and nutritional quality than presentation and sophisticated preparation, as seen at Maman Terrace. Large selection of cakes, puddings, cookies and other sweets...The owners are also very nice, sat down and conversed for half an hour. All in all, this place has prices at cafeteria prices and delivers simple, varied and irreprochable food.
Pros: Varied menu, Big portions, Ground level prices
Cons: Not focused on aesthetic
