Slow and mediocre - Edit
The food was just okay - we ate there yesterday and I've already forgotten what we had, so I can't provide any more details. Very slow service (and we remarked on how the food could possibly have taken that long to make, given how simple it was).

great restaurant in Osaka and good vibe - Edit
I went there with some friends and we all love the food and the atmosphere,specially because there are not many places like this in Osaka when they promote not just veganism but a healthy vegan way of eating (who I am really into).
Read moreMain course tasty (soya meat veg and rice) and desert was good we request tofu cheesecake and a brownie.great presentation both of the dishes and good size portions.
I just think that is a bit expensive,however don't forget that everything is organic and well thought plus you can buy many things in the restaurant (they have a little store)
Overall was a good experience!
Pros: great food, many options, little store inside
Cons: is a bit expensive

not just a vegan restaurant but a store too::: very good - Edit
The restaurant per day takes you to Europe with its quaintness and relaxed ambience.
Read moreHaving said that, the service is pure Japanese... sweet... happy and smiling.
I ordered for the crispy mock meat in yakinoki: was simply superb....
also ordered for chef's 4 appetisers: out of the 4 dishes that came, lasagne and mash potatoes were good. Other 2 were average.
They also have vegan wine, soft beverages, smoothies and desserts.
Will surely recommend if you in this area.
I came back feeling very good and satiated with food.

Super delicious vegan food - Edit
Love the food here. Worth walking here. The waiter asked us whether we can eat garlic and onions, we said no and he took note not to add them into the dishes. Love their understanding.

tasty and very nice place! - Edit
A great vegan restaurant with big portion (so my husband is happy).
Read moreThey use a lot of gluten meat so vegan can try Osaka's meat specialty cruelty free! They use a lot of oil and sauce.
I know most of their food is organic but I don't know about the gluten meat and oil... I should ask one day..
Pros: Very good food, Big portion
Cons: In winter it is cold inside

Confusing - Edit
I'd heard so many great things about Paprika that I invited a friend to lunch. Then I just felt bad...
Read moreI can't figure out why people like this place! It is very cute. I loved the interior, but otherwise I can't think of a reason to go here again.
All I can remember of my lunch was trying to finish this bowl of "curry" which seemed to be just a pile of TVP with bland curry spices.
My friend was unimpressed too.
It gets so many good reviews, that I might give it another go by myself.
Pros: Cute interior
Cons: Gross food

Tasty and satisfying - Edit
We got the (all vegan) broiled eel rice bowl, the fried oyster set menu dinner and the 4 item appetizer set. Really delicious! They also come by and give you a choice of items from an appetizer tray to start of your meal. We also had the screwdriver (organic orange, and mandarin orange which was an interesting touch), and the green smoothie.

Outstanding vegan restaurant - Edit
This is an excellent vegan restaurant with a fantastic choice of food and drink. The staff were friendly and helpful and we loved it so much we went twice for dinner during our short stay in Osaka. The second time we went, we got talking to one of the staff members who was absolutely lovely and also concerned about us getting back to our apartment in the torrential rain.

Just okay - Edit
This was our first meal in Osaka and we visited due to the excellent reviews on Happy Cow. The presentation of the food is excellent but the tastes were bland and underwhelming. The appetiser was by far the best part of the night, 4 chef chosen dishes which were all delicious and very well presented. We ordered the set menu for main which is very well sized with soy meat, salad, rice, miso and some avocado. The miso was tasteless, I did not finish it. We also ordered the veggie and 'anchovy' pizza which was smothered in a creamy yet tasteless sauce. It was impossible to cut with the pizza cutter provided.
Read moreAlthough the staff are friendly enough and they decor has such a raw and rustic feel, this venue is the first in Japan to receive a 3 from us. Very underwhelming unfortunately.

just go its worth it - Edit
Got the hamburg set and was the best vegan mock meat I've ever had. Seriously. Just get it. The whole plate was filling and delicious and customer service was rlly nice. The interior design is so cute and cozy. One of my favorite vegan restaurants so far. Sadly they ran out of their soy milk soft serve that I wanted but all in all a great place to stop by.
Read morePros: cool vibes, delicious hamburg, great soup too
Cons: ran out of soft serve :(

Vibrant, amazing tasting food - Edit
Great food, I had a "pizza" with veggies, soy meat and vegan cheese, it was very interesting, delicious, but didn't quite seem like a pizza haha! It was more like a circle of bread, conpletely covered with a selection of tasty treats, more like a pie without the edges. The decor is nice, fresh, cool, and cosy. The people were nice, service was great, the value for yen is good. They also sell a range of vegan foods, an interesting selection, but expensive. Highly recommend!

Paprika Shokudo, Osaka - Edit
In light of the useful info from the previous reviewer we rang ahead before visiting. No answer.

Wasted trip - Edit
Having seen good reviews for this place - and a negative comment on another local establishment where people had turned up to find it closed, without notice - we went out of our way to trek across town to Paprika on our last day in Osaka - in midsummer, with heavy luggage.
Read moreYou've guessed, it was closed without notice. No sign on the door, no notice on their 'website' (i.e. Facebook page, which marked it as 'open now'), no response (let alone an automated message etc.) when we phoned, no reply to a Facebook message (even though they're marked as 'highly responsive'), the neighbours knew nothing...
We waited around for around half an hour, then gave up. Perhaps there had been some sudden emergency? I'd like to give them the benefit of the doubt, But there was no apology or reference to this on their page over the following few days, so I can only assume that they were simply acting irresponsibly, with poor customer service & communications. YMMV but we won't be back.
Pros: Others say it's good
Cons: Poor communication, Unreliable

Loved Paprika Shokudo! - Edit
Visited Osaka, tried Paprika, and we had to come back several times!!! We love it that Paprika is organic, health-conscious and natural. The owner is vegan, and a nice guy. It's a short walk from the station and pretty easy to find. The staff are very nice, and some speak English. We loved everything we tried, and can't wait to go again :)

Delightful! - Edit
Wonderful! Great menu, great service and the organic wine was a big hit too. With ice cream and cheesecake for dessert we were more than happy. The fact that two of my guests were meat eaters and loved their dishes is probably the biggest compliment.
Read moreWe had a table by the door which was lovely, although in the more usual humid summer this may have proved a problem. Love this place! Best vegan restaurant visited so far!

Hi there,
Read moreThanks for taking the time to provide such an up tempo review of this place?
if I can politely enquire... given your obvious passion for this place, did you intend to bring its ranking down by rating it at only 2 stars?
Very best wishes.
MyVeganJoy
Why are you giving only 2 starts to the place that you said you loved and was "wonderful"? Did you forget to properly rate it? I think so. Please correct your star rating to fit your positive review.

Was pumped to try Paprika and was not disappointed. I had a salad which was incredibly fresh plus the soy meat pizza which was delicious.
Read moreUnfortunately they had sold out of soy soft serve but the cheesecake was served beautifully and tastes just as good.

Fresh and delicious - Edit
Found this place on a sunny day. It wasn't at all busy and I was served very quickly. The atmosphere was nice with good music. I ordered the lunch set of the day- houmous pitta, soup, salad and some pickled vegetables. It came quickly and was great! The soy ice cream was also delicious, with a few oats and a little biscuit. I laid about 1200 yen, which I thought was good. Would definitely return. Pictures uploaded :-)

The best place in Osaka - Edit
Even meat people would love this place. The food is awesome, the atmosphere is relaxed and cozy and the staff is friendly and helpful.
Read moreIt's a bit off the main road which in it's way is great. Osaka can be very busy and hectic sometimes.
We had the deep-fried oysters - which was great. And the yakiniku set meal - also great. We have been traveling for a few months and the fake meat was just what we needed after so much real meat around us in Japan and NZ. Great ingredients and fresh veggies.
We had their organic red wine which was a bit cold but good.

Great location, just a few blocks from the main shopping strip
Read moreQuick service and delicious food, will be attending a few times over my stay to eat everything on menu and chose to start my sumo training
It's called the paprika shokudou cafe but I haven't yet to get a whiff or hint of any paprika used in the food, that aside if you're in Osaka you need to come
Pros: great food , fast services

Great food, amazing desserts - Edit
We had a wonderful time at Paprika Shokudo with my non-vgl boyfriend. He ate a karaage donburi and I had a "deep-fried oysters" plate made from mushrooms and tofu. Both were delicious. But the cherry on top was the desserts. I had the best chocolate soft ice-cream and my boyfriend tasted the assortment, everything was perfect (I tasted everything and wow). I highly recommend this place, plus people were very friendly and helpful.
Read morePros: typical Osaka meals made vegan, Yay !, friendly staff , desserts to die for
