Stellar Kimbap, Sufficient Egg Sando - Edit
The Kimbap is outstanding. It won some awards in 2024 and deservedly so. I took a daily special strawberry parfait back to my hotel as well and it was outstanding.
Read moreThe egg sandwich is.. not that great. I'm not sure why many rave about it. Maybe they are non vegans? You can easily make just as good, if not better egg sandwich with silken and firm tofu mix, kala namak (etc) at home. And the bread was a bit firm for this classic Japanese sandwich.
On the bright side, for as highly regarded as this place is, it was nearly empty when I went for dinner! No wait, nothing! and the staff were all wonderfully kind.
Pros: Delicious kimbap, not crowded, small takeaway treats!
Cons: bit pricey, most lauded item is not that good

Delicious, lots of variety! - Edit
Tried a few different dishes at Mercy Vegan Factory. The egg sandwich was creamy and eggy, the gimbap was fresh and flavourful, and the curry was warming and tasty. Definitely stop by if you're in Osaka!

Fantastic vegan food in Osaka - Edit
When I visited Japan, Mercy Vegan Factory was one of the few vegan spots that I visited more than once. It’s located in a convenient part of the city and is easy to locate. The food was very good and there was a wide variety of dishes. I tried the gimbap and the curry. I highly recommend the vegan cakes, they were very good. Definitely a place to visit if you’re in the city. The people who work there are super lovely. #Veganuary

Fantastic food and service - Edit
Really enjoyed eating here for lunch. The staff were friendly and helpful and the food was fantastic. Would recommend the vegetable curry as it was flavourful and had a variety of different veggies. The caramel banana dessert was also great. The location is nice with some stunning temples to look at on your way there.

Nice food but too expensive - Edit
Crazy prices for an egg sandwich. ¥8000 for a family of 4 with kids 5 & 8 years old. Left hungry and had to go elsewhere for more food. Won't be going back.

I came back, it was really disappointing. Check my updated review. I really can't see how you can justify your prices. You clearly rely on tourist dollars and your online store. Hence the 3 huge chest freezers in the dining space.
Read moreMERCYVeganFactory
Thank you very much for sharing your valuable feedback. We sincerely apologize for failing to meet your expectations and for any disappointment we may have caused. Regarding our pricing and portion sizes, we deeply regret that they did not meet your satisfaction. Unfortunately, due to the rising cost of raw materials, we have had to adjust our prices, which may not have aligned with your expectations.
Read moreAs for the presence of the three freezers, we would like to explain that our establishment also serves as a "Factory," which necessitates the use of such equipment for product storage and management. We understand that this might have created a different atmosphere compared to other dining venues, which may have surprised you. Despite your kind decision to visit us again, we are truly sorry for not living up to your expectations.
If you ever choose to visit us again, we would greatly appreciate it if you could let us know. Your valuable feedback will be used to help us improve and create a better experience for our customers. Thank you once again for your time and input.

Relaxing vibe with jazz music - Edit
We came here 2 years ago and definitely wanted to come back again! So here we are again for brunch, and the food is just as delicious as we remembered. Staff are very friendly and the vibe is chill with soft jazz music playing. Fully vegan which is a massive bonus! Recommend the egg sandwich, very yummy. One guy here is particularly awesome (he might be the owner, not sure?), and gave us a bunch of complementary coffee bags to take home, which we enjoyed once we got back home and wishing we were still in Japan! We'll be back for a third time next time we're in Osaka 🏯

Come after 10:30am - Edit
Breakfast menu (8:00-10:30) is very limited (three sets that are basically bread and a drink), but the lunch menu looks a lot better. The egg sandwich has a pretty convincing flavour and it was tasty, albeit on the smaller side.

Delicious! - Edit
We got some take away salt and buttered rolls and some walnut cinnamon buns to take away. I wished I could have taken away more but I am learning as much as I try I can’t eat everything at every vegan cafe! The salt butter rolls had such a nice flavour. Then I tried the walnut cinnamon bun and wow! Just incredible, flavour and texture.
