A must-go! - Edit
With so many amazing reviews, this place doesn’t need mine but I love it so much, I’ll write one anyway.
Read moreHuge vegan menu was delicious options!!!! So many vegetables for your okonomiyaki or yakisoba. TWO TYPES of vegan cheese. CHEAP BOOZE (¥180 a drink 😱) Gyoza, Kimchi, so many sides! This place is a god send for late night eating and drinking in Osaka. The owner is one of the kindest people I’ve met in the osaka restaurant scene. Would give this place 5 stars if I could. Please go and support! #Veganuary
Pros: So many options (plenty of veggies and cheese) , Cheap cheap cheap!!! , Genuinely fun and DELICIOUS!!!
Cons: Serves animal flesh , Sometimes allows smoking ☹️

My new favourite restaurant bar in Osaka. The vibe is so cool 🤘Cosy homemade vibe with punk music playing.
Read moreAnd the vegan menu is awesome and one of a kind! I've been in Japan for 3 years and first time I've found this kind of vegan Okonomiyaki menu (and big!)

Definitely go check it out for awesome vibes and food✌️
しほさん、ありがとうございました！🤘

Best vegan restaurant - Edit
Delicious food, warm hospitality, awesome ambiance. No pretentious hippie vibes like typical vegan restaurants. Wish I could come here often. Even the M size okonomiyaki is very filling

Decent flavour. Huge portions! Lovely owner - Edit
The okomyiaki comes in Small, Medium and Large portions - I'd say that the Large would be good to share between two people (if possible). The flavour was decent, with loads of toppings - and even a vegan mayo!

5/5 best place in Osaka - Edit
Very nice little "Japanese pub" with delicious food and good atmosphere. The okonomiyaki can be made vegetarian or vegan (and is gluten-free) and you can choose five ingredients like mushrooms, spinach, potatoes, okra, beans, etc.
Read moreDrinks are self-service which is great, and all drinks including beer or highball only cost 180 Yen! (almost cheaper than in konbinis or supermarkets)
Plus a very friendly and fun owner who seems really happy to have that place, it's very impressive how she manages all on her own.
We went there three times because we liked it so much.
Pros: Delicious food, self-service drinks, Lovely owner, Good prices

Book Ahead - Busy but Lovely Owner - Edit
What a shame. Our last night in Osaka and we couldn't get a spot for 2 even at 7pm. Book ahead unless you plan to go at opening time. Tried to wait in entrance area but smokers use that space. Also not accessible unless via steep steps.
Read moreThe staff, who must be the one person doing everything, is absolutely lovely and tried to help us find other veg places nearby to eat.
What we could see looked yum.
So book ahead, and only attempt to find it if stairs and smoking areas aren't an issue.
Great to see such a busy place, but sad for us hungry veg tourists.
Pros: Lovely person
Cons: Very busy

Good okonomiyaki & friendly staff - Edit
Gluten free, delicious, and many vegan saucing options. The vegan mayo was an awesome addition and they had chili powder and Tabasco sauce if you're like me and prefer something a little spicy. The fries were good too. They came with some stone ground mustard which was divine. You can also take away your leftovers, the okonomiyaki is pretty large. I'm an American and I could only finish half of my Medium size 😂 the staff was really friendly. The building is very small though, but they offer the food to go as well if you don't want to stay.

FIVE STAR Vegetarian/Vegan Okonomiyaki - Edit
This place is absolute heaven and I love it with all my heart. The shop is small but extremely inviting and friendly. The staff on the night were super nice, and she engaged me in simple Japanese conversation which was very patient of her!
Read moreI went back the following night to try the Yakisoba and found out that she is the owner and sole employee of this restaurant. Incredible woman.
The food is authentic and delicious. There is an easy to understand menu and you can ask for take away if you get full (you will get full, the M size is big).
Will be back, every time I'm in Osaka. It is a crime I can't give this 5 stars
Pros: Lots of vegan and vegetarian combinations, Friendly owner and English friendly, Authentic and delicious food

Amazing food!! - Edit
The bad (not really): Long legged people might want to stretch beforehand! It is VERY cosy!
Read moreThe good: amazing vegan / vegetarian options. The food tasted incredible! The server was very aware of different veggie dietary requirements (vegan, lacto vegetarian etc), was also the cook and was still super attentive! A fantastic hidden gem and a must visit Happy Cow fans!
Pros: Really friendly staff and incredibly tasty food!

Incredible!! - Edit
Food is awesome, the atmosphere is super cool (if you don’t mind the smoking), and the vegan options are very clearly labeled. My friend and I arrived at about 2am, the owner asked if either of us one vegan (only me) and she gave me like a graph plot thing with clearly marked definitions of what is excluded in various levels of vegetarianism. I IDed fully vegan and she gave me two options (okonomiyaki, the Osaka specialty, and veggie yakisoba). I naturally ordered both.
Read moreOkonomiyaki is prepared with 5 vegetables of your choice; she then brings specific egg-free mayo and explains the sweet/spicy sauce (a bit like A-1 steak sauce in the US i.e. tamarind-heavy spicy red sauce) is also vegan.
Be warned: the owner is extremely high level holy elemental and you will sustain extreme holy damage from her presence. It’s impossible not to fall in love with her 🙏 wear your white rings or cast suitable buffs. Also she was literally the only employee cooking for and servicing 3-5 tables by herself, responding to a hotel bell within a few seconds to bring new drinks, etc. Her English is good enough to get through. This is a must-visit for a vegan/vegetarian looking for a very Osaka experience 🔥🔥🔥

Tasty food and a fun experience - Edit
We went here because of the other positive reviews on HappyCow and we were not disappointed! There is a vegan/vegetarian menu on request. The place is cosy, we went late so luckily it wasn’t too busy (there was two of us and then one other couple). You get to see the food made in front of you which is fun, they do serve meat - so there is a risk of cross contamination, but we risked it anyway & I am glad we did!

Must-visit in Osaka - Edit
Okonomiyaki is a traditional Japanese dish. However, finding a vegan option is rare and finding one that is as amazing as here is impossible.
Read moreOther than the usually rather small meal sizes, at Oko you can decide between small, medium & large - but medium is definitely enough, even for the most hungry ones.
Plus, you can choose what vegetables you want in your Okonomiyaki. There's vegan Mayonnaise as well and if someone isn't feeling like Okonomiyaki there are other vegan and vegetarian options as well.
The atmosphere in this little shop is great and it kinda feels like home.
The staff is so nice and welcoming, fully understands veganism and all kinds of forms of vege. I was really happy.
Pros: AMAZING Okonomiyaki, Choose your vegetables, Big portion sizes

Great food and atmosphere - Edit
A cosy little place with a very welcoming host. It can be very busy but we got 5 of us in just after opening at 6pm. We had the okonomiyaki and yakisoba. You get to choose what vegies are in the okonomiyaki. Unless you are sharing or you're a giant DO NOT ORDER THE LARGE OKONOMIYAKI! Having gotten used to Japanese serving sizes I ordered a large because I was hungry. It was enormous. Basically two mediums stacked together. It could feed 4 people easily. It was delicious though and they have take away containers for left overs. Relaxing atmosphere. Cheap drinks. 5 stars.
Read morePros: Understands vegan., Choice of veggies in the okonomiyaki.
Cons: Sometimes hard to get into.

I would give this 5 stars if I could. The okonamiyaki was cheap for the amount you get and sooo satisfying! I loved being able to experience an alterative to this traditional dish. The atmosphere is really nice and cozy, the owner is a great host and the drinks are 180 yen wich all made for a great night. Going back again today!
