Scratches an itch - Edit
All of the tables were occupied (although one four-top was taken up by one person) when I arrived at 2pm on a Thursday in mid-March. I was told to wait until one of the tables cleared out before I could sit down, and it would take the same amount of time to wait for a take-out order as a dine-in one. Only two staff were handling all the tasks, so that explains why. While waiting, I helped myself to the drinking water since I was pretty thirsty.
Read moreI was seated about 20 minutes after arriving and ordered the plant-based meat bao with wasabi mayo and a matcha donut. They came out at the same time, and I also snagged a set of condiments from a nearby table that had since emptied. The bao tasted fresh and flavorful, and the donut was battered, giving it an extra crunchy layer on the outside.
To commemorate their fourth year anniversary, the owner handed me a branded tote bag as a gift when I settled my tab. Very sweet staff! Would return to try some of their other bao and donut flavors.

Great Vegan Bao - Edit
We were able to eat at Luu’s Bao after arriving in Osaka and it did not disappoint. The staff were friendly, the food was delicious and it was all very reasonably priced. We had two of the bao burger options and they both were tasty. Couldn’t recommend this place enough!

Great - Edit
My hotel was right outside Kuromon Market about 5-8 minutes from here, and also I was hanging around Den Den town a lot. As such, I was incredibly grateful to have Luu's Bao in the area.
Read moreI ate here multiple time and came away satisfied each time. The service was fast, the price was fair, and the food was tasty.
Extra notes:
The strawberry donut was too sweet, but the plain was pretty good.
The place plays pop-ish radio.

must stop if you're in the area! - Edit
I finally made it out to try Luu's Bao this summer, and it was so worth the trek! So many options, it was hard to choose (but you def can't go wrong no matter what you select). Portions were bigger than I expected, staff was kind, and the lemonade was great. I highly recommend stopping here if you're close by!

Best food we’ve tried so far - Edit
Hands down the best vegan food we’ve tried in Japan. The baos were extremely soft, fluffy and perfectly warm. The whole experience was even more enhanced with the charming little patio seating and very charming and polite staff.
Read moreWe ordered kakiage tempura and maitake fritters baos with a side of fries, and strawberry and chocolate donuts for dessert. Donuts were perfectly crispy and flavorful, but baos were so good we’ve decided to take two more for dinner as a take out (tofu tsukune and plant based meat burger). Even though several hours have passed before we tried the take out ones, they very still perfect and tasty.
Pure 5/5, could not recommed more!
Pros: Incredible food, All vegan, A lot of options, Charming staff, Fast service
