Molto buono, occhio alle porzioni!! - Edit
Le opzioni vegane e vegetariani ci sono e sono molto buone. L'unica cosa è che ci sono le porzioni solo M o L e io ho fatto molto fatica a mangiarlo tutto.

A must - Edit
Shiho-san is running this cool restaurant all by herself and serves delicious food for vegans, vegetarians and meat eaters. We were in Osaka only 1 night and could not dream of a better food experience. I loved the vegan Gyozas and vegetarian Okonomiyaki ❤️

Quirky restaurant, great environment - Edit
Love this place! I was excited to try vegan okonomiyaki, but enjoyed the vibe even more. Such a cool little restaurant. Shiho who runs the place single-handedly is awesome. Expect to queue, but she gets through the orders pretty quick. Plus you can grab your drink (self-service) while you're waiting.

Okonomiyaki done right 👌 - Edit
The only thing more insane than how good the food was is that one lady runs the whole show. Worth the wait - 5 stars!

What an experience! - Edit
Many vegan options and an unique atmosphere. The place is run by one person. Very tasty okonomiyaki and a great self service bar. If I could, I would give 5 stars to Shiho.

Run by a single woman and the best yakisoba and okonomiyaki i've ever had. Totally worth the time it took to get the food.

Excellent and Quirky - Edit
Are here tonight, offers both vegan and vegetarian as well as food for meat eaters. It’s a one woman show so includes a fair bit of queuing, the drinks are ¥200 for anything you want and the food is phenomenal

Would give 5 stars!! Coolest place and yummy food - Edit
Incredible food and the most fun atmosphere ever! Shiho runs the whole place alone and the food was so yummy. Self serve bar for $2 a drink is so much fun. Go to the cave underground the vibes are so fun. Can’t give 5 stars on the app since not fully vegan restaurant but totally would.

The restaurant is nice-aiee the single owner efforts - Edit
The food was very average- we wanted to try both vegan and non veg okominyaki but that turned out to be 85-90% just cabbage in both cases-we were really expecting things beyond cabbage! We couldn't finish both the items and the first time in Japan we actually left our food to be disposed of - which made us sad! Maybe will try okominyaki in another shop next time, coz they showed more variety if fillings in them!
Read morePros: Ambience of the owner, Graffiti all over the resturant
Cons: Taste of the food- just cabbage inside, the cleanliness is questionable as no staff

Shiho is a superstar!! - Edit
We visited in 2024 and made SURE to come back this trip again. She's moved venues and this new place is awesome! Has cool options for seating, the line is indoors when you have to wait, Shiho has signs up with lots of cool info, etc. The vibes are so good and the food is even better! We had vegan gyoza, Yakisoba and okonomiyaki and all of them were amazing!! 200 yen for a drink and you can make anything you want from the drink area. Will be going back before we leave Osaka for sure!

Your place for okonomyaki fix - Edit
I arrived there at opening time and there was a sizeable queue there already. Apparently, the queue was so long the night before that the nearby shops started complaining about it disturbing their business. So they’re got a guard managing a queue. I ended up waiting 2 hours for my turn.
Read moreWas it worth the wait? Well, I cannot say that the okonomyaki was world-changing, but I don’t know where I can get a vegan one, and it’s Osakas speciality. It was tasty and filling, absolutely not greasy. The kimchi was great as well with a nice zap. I did like the food here, but if you don’t want to wait, you can try takoyaki at their sister shop two blocks over. They didn’t have the queue, and the takoyakis are tasty!

This place deserve a stop just for the vibe and the amazing work Shiho chan does. The location has a super friendly atmosphere, the food is cheap and good! I got the vegan okonomiyaki with vegan cheese and mayo plus the tofu. Amazing!

Expect A Wait - Edit
Arrived at 8:50pm expecting the rush hour to be over. The line to order was to the door (So you know, expect at least an hour wait at that point), but we saw a sign saying only 10 minutes so we persisted. We slowly progressed through the line thinking it wouldn’t take too long. We then realised only 1 person was serving, cooking and cleaning. By that point we were too far in to leave. Admittedly the vibe was cool and you are entitled to a free drink if you wait over 20 mins… which helped.
Read moreWhen we finally got to order, unlike others, we had our order ready (had an hour to prepare). Once ordered the food was relatively quick to come out and the food was phenomenal! Vegan, nutritious and a massive portion. The large feeds two people easily.
However, no food is worth over an hour wait standing in line, so I have to leave an average review. Hats off to Shiho for her efforts, she was lovely and doing her best.
Final advice would be to avoid the busy periods if you don’t like to wait, and FFS have your order ready. Half the wait is people uhming and ahing about their order and making stupid requests. Just read the room.
Pros: Portion size , Taste, Atmosphere
Cons: Wait time, Understaffed

Unique food spot with vegan options - Edit
OKO was definitely one of the most unique places I’ve eaten. Shiho who runs the whole place by herself is truly amazing. It was an interesting communal experience as everything was self service. The drinks work on a honour system where you can make your own drink and pay for it at a little box near the cash register. The vegan okonomiyaki was very tasty. It was a dish I really wanted to try and was happy to find a tasty vegan option. I highly recommend this spot to anyone visiting Osaka. Be warned, there might be a bit of a wait to get a seat but it’s definitely worth it! #Veganuary

One of the best - Edit
I wish, I wish, I WISH I could give Oko 5 stars. I went here when I was last in Osaka and LOVED it and I went again this trip and it was just as good. This trip, I had the okonomiyaki, veg gyoza and the pickles as a side and it was delicious and filling. I love the concept of all patrons being able to decorate and draw on the interior walls. It’s so much fun to read and then add your own contribution. It always amazes me how the owner is able to do so much on her own and to such a high standard.
