Wonderful food in busy area - Edit
A small and slightly difficult to find restaurant in a side alley of the busy Shinsekai area. But absolutely worth it!
Read moreWe had a tofu rice dish which was delicious, and a soy milk ramen, a first for us. It was amazing - really deep flavours. Reminded me a bit of massaman curry sauce. The taste was so good.
We also had a selection of fried vegetable skewers, of which the shitake mushrooms were the best.
Beware the first restaurant at the start of the alley. They spot people going down to the vegan restaurant and try to entice you in by pointing to the veg and vegan menu choices they have. Don't fall for it - head on down till you see the neon sign!

Mes premiers takoyaki ! - Edit
Service et lieu très agréable 🤝 Légèrement déçu par leurs kushikatsu que l'on a trouvé un peu fade, on s'est rabattu sur la soupe miso et les takoyaki qui était très bon !

Loved the service and traditional options - Edit
Loved this restaurant, right in an arcade of games and street vendors which made for great ambiance. We tried many of the fried vegetable skewers (beyond meat, seitan soy meat, broccoli, lotus root, asparagus, banana for dessert), miso soup, buttered corn, soy sauce & butter enoki, takoyaki. All were delicious and well worth ordering. Would highly recommend this restaurant.
Read morePros: Great service, Good options, all vegan , Small dishes so you can try many different dishes
Cons: Pricey for Japan but worth it

Pretty good but expensive - Edit
Like some other comments mentioned, the price is a bit high compared to proportions, but the food was pretty good in general and the service was fast. Ordered via a tablet. In an odd location though

Great fried food in hidden location - Edit
I very much enjoyed the food and the staff were super friendly, however the price you pay for such a small portion is hard to justify. It's great food, but your yen won't get you far.
Read morePros: The food, The staff, The location
Cons: Price, Portion size

Delicious Japanese food, friendly staff. They told me to order through QR code but I think there's a paper menu with a lot more options on it.

nice fried stuff and vegan ice cream - Edit
It is a nice place at a backstreet where you can sit inside and outside away from the peopleish city.
Read moreThe food is good, especially I liked the skewers (yakitori style), a must order in my opinion.
But: on most of the dishes (also the noodles) there was a lot of mayonnaise on it, that i had to put away to eat it. Also everything was very greasy, what I didn’t appreciate too much.
Still it was all nice, I would definitely come again. If you’re hungry you have to order a few dishes (me at least) what quicky raises the bill to 4-5k p.p. (including a drink and a dessert) what stil is very ok.
I also liked homemade the matcha ice cream.
Food is orders via a order system that you access through a QR code. I liked that! Also the food comes quick.
Pros: Skewers (yakitori style), vegan matcha ice cream , order system (digital and quick)
Cons: Too much mayonnaise on some dishes , a little too oily for my taste (some dishes).

Good for sharing - Edit
I ate here with my boyfriend, who eats meat. We were a bit skeptical after reading some of the lower star reviews, but were pleasently surprised. I had one of the assorted vegetable skewers with beyond meet, the vegan takoyaki, the brown rice bowl and the butter corn. He had two of the rice dishes and the fried cheese. I would especially recommend the takoyaki and rice dishes. The skewers tasted like a lot of other deep fried vegetable I’ve eaten during our trip. They give you a sauce for them though, which I liked. You can skip the brown rice ball. A good place to order a bit of everything and share. I was full and satisfied after my meal. The biggest downside is the price.
Read morePros: Lots of options, Made fresh, Tastes good

Not mine - Edit
Its like Tapas with deep fried stuff. Full vegan but if you are hungry you need to order a lot (which will make it expensive).

A little bit disappointing - Edit
I really want to support vegan places, but we‘ve been a little disappointed.
Read moreWe had the vegan Takoyaki (I think with mushroom inside), miso soup and vegan kushikatsu and choose tempeh, mochi, eringi, shishito pepper and a sort of beans. It was a little bit boring and we were still hungry. 😜
Pros: Nice place, Fresh made
Cons: Little portions, Tasted a little bit boring

Best Osaka Vegan Place - Edit
They had initially sold out of takoyaki so I had the tempura which I was happy with. When checking out I mentioned I was sad to miss the takoyaki so they made some fresh on the spot for me, fantastic service and so tasty. No wait when I was there around 8:30pm on a Tuesday
Read morePros: Top quality service, Takoyaki
