Really good sweets

Can’t rate the bao buns as they were a little out of our price range (1300yen!!) but the doughnuts and ice cream were very good. Again a little pricey though - 860 yen for a doughnut and a small ice cream. Nice staff, great spot.

AMAZING MEAL

We stumbled on this place while looking for a good vegan feed and we weren’t disappointed. I’m already figuring out if we have time to eat here again!!!

The bao was perfectly soft and warm! And the fillings paired perfectly. I finished off my meal with a chocolate donut and it was delicious as well! If you can, definitely make time to stop here!!

Pros: Generous serving, Excellent service, Delicious food

Hands down the best bao ever!

My family and I have been wanting to try this place since last year but they were so far away from our hotel. This time, we found them on Uber Eats! We LOVE their bao’s and had them 2 days in a row for lunch! The bao’s are huge and so fullfiling. The bao’s, donuts and fries arrived hot and fresh. My family and I ordered an extra bao to keep in the fridge to have for dinner later on and it was still so good! My family favorites are: the deep fried mushrooms bao, the cutlet bao, and the BBQ bao. I am in love with their matcha donut! It arrived fresh and still hot! My husband and family loved their strawberry donuts, however it was too sweet for me (I’m also watching my sugar intake). My kids asked me why we didn’t get take out from there since day 1. We were in Osaka for 8 days! We highly recommend this place, even for picky eaters! It was also nice to take a break from ramen!😄We can’t wait to come back and will be thinking about this place.

Amazing Vegan Bao Burger

It was an amazing Bao Burger. All is vegan, tastes very good and you van try ALL OF THEM! After the burger you have to try the vegan donuts. We prefer the plain one, simpel is often the best choice, but all of them sounds great.

Pros: Completely vegan, Vegan Bao Burger, Plaine Vegan Donut

Cons: Only eight places (to sit)

Please go

Luu's Bao Bums in Osaka is a must-try. Their bao buns are incredibly fluffy and offer a fantastic variety of delicious toppings. Plus, they have a tempting selection of five different donuts to round out your meal. It's a top spot for a satisfying and tasty experience in Osaka!

Delicious and kind staff

We ordered a falafel bao and one of the “meat” baos (can’t remember which) and they were both delicious. Very kind staff and they also serve drinks and dessert.

delicious

We went to LUU’s Nao on our first day in Ozaka and it was excellent!!! The service was extremely attentive and helpful. The mushroom bao (I don’t remember the name 🥲) was definitely the best choice. There are only a few tables so you might have to wait a bit, but it’s definitely worth it. We’ll be back again!!!

Yummy bao and doughnuts

Lovely staff and perfect bao and doughnuts. The bao are bigger than your average bao and are great value for the price. Chips were just ok. The doughnuts are delicious and served hot and fresh. Seating is limited, but they also offer take away as an option.

Pros: Bao, Doughnuts, Friendly staff

Cons: Limited seating

Yummy on a budget

Their 馒头 bun replaces the regular burger bun, decent portion, we tried two burgers and liked both(the ones without spicy sauce). We also liked their fresh fried matcha doughnut.

Pros: Tasty, All vegan, Affordable

Cons: Outside sitting

Tasty Bao Buns Vegan

I really did enjoy the food. I ordered the plant based burger for a take out. I did not wait long and it wasn't a bad price. I can recommend. They sadly were nearly sold out but the staff was super nice and the owner as well. Will go there again.

Pros: Taste, Portion size , Very friendly staff

Really nice place in Osaka

The staff speaks English and is really friendly. I came for takeaway at a busy time but they handled it quite well and stayed friendly and chatty.
Only note that the seats are outside, so it might be cold. It feels more like a food truck.
Definitely recommend going to this place!

Pros: friendly staff, tasty food, many choices

Luu’s Bao

Venue
It’s an outdoor plot between 2 buildings. Cooking is done in a sort of adapted shed. There’s cover over the 6 tables (12 seats) in case of rain but can be chilly if the wind whips through.

Service
A friendly welcome from all the staff when you arrive. Water & a menu provided and you’re given about 5mins or so before they come back to take your order.

Food
I had #2 on the menu which was a plant meat burger with salad and a wasabi sauce. Extremely soft and fluffy buns. Soft burger without being sloppy and falling out all over the place. I also had the plain, chocolate and strawberry donuts and a couple of oat lattes. All very good. I wish I had a larger vocabulary so I could really sell those donuts in particular.

Price
Less than 2000jpy if you get a full set of bao, fries and a drink. 360jpy per donut. Can’t argue with that.

Disappointing

This was my least favourite meal in Japan so far, which was surprising given the positive reviews. The chips were disappointing—they tasted like they’d been microwaved. The bao buns felt overly westernised in a way that didn’t quite work; some flavour combinations were off, the texture wasn’t great, and they were far too big. The matcha donut was just okay.

The prices were reasonable, so if you’re in need of a cheap vegan meal in Osaka, it might be an option—but seating is limited. There’s also a portaloo next to the seating area, which was unbeatable considering the small outdoor space but was a bit off-putting. I think with a bit of adjustments this place could get better overall.

That said, the staff were great—no complaints there!
