Pretty good but expensive

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

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.

Pros: The food, The staff, The location

Cons: Price, Portion size

Delicious fried Japanese food!

Great Food! It’s located in the back of an alley, do not get distracted by a restaurant close by that says “vegan options”

Food was wonderful, delicious fried skewers!

Delicious vegan Japanese food

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

It is a nice place at a backstreet where you can sit inside and outside away from the peopleish city.
The 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).

Friendly & cute restaurant, great food!

Loved it! Had the tempeh stir-fry rice bowl. (Tempeh is cut thicker then I usually prefer, but was still delicious.)
My mom ordered the gyoza and salad and also loved it.

Good for sharing

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.

Pros: Lots of options, Made fresh, Tastes good

Cons: Expensive

Not mine

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

I really want to support vegan places, but we‘ve been a little disappointed.
We 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

Very cozy vegan restaurant

We were greeted by two adorable cats at the entrance, a very cozy and cute place that serves authentic vegan japanese food.
We ordered takoyaki, butter corn, doteyaki bowl, vegetable kushikatsu with Beyond meat! (The only place i've seen in Japan that sells Beyond) The food was nice and just loved the vegan takoyaki!

Ate dinner and lunch there

I basically had the whole menu, very cute ally way corner restaurant. Feels secretive how hidden it is. Wasn’t far from our hotel so we walked there.

Popcorn 🍿 and chocolate cookies was tasty probably the only way to get gluten free vegan cookies you can get in Japan!

Pros: Appetisers tasty , 100% vegan , Gluten Free

Best Osaka Vegan Place

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

Pros: Top quality service, Takoyaki

More a snack place than a restaurant

We had the vegetable tempura assortment, noodles with soy meat, takoyaki and a matcha ice cream. We had to wait until we were seated, even though tables were free, guests that were on their way out complained that they had waited an hour for their food to arrive. Seemed quite unorganized but maybe that was just due to a larger group celebrating a birthday at one of the tables. We found our food okay but unremarkable compared to other experiences we had on our trip.

Super trouvaille !

Nous avons trouvé ce restaurant végan au fond d'une toute petite ruelle dans un quartier populaire d'Osaka.

Le restaurant dispose de table extérieures, de table intérieures et un bar.

Les menus sont en anglais. Quand vous arrivez le staff vous donne un petit QR-Code qui vous renvoie sur le site internet où vous pouvez commander vos plats et vos boissons.

Le site est en Japonais, mais vous pouvez utiliser la fonction 'traduction' de votre navigateur pour traduire le site web dans votre langue. C'est une manière astucieuse d'offrir un menu accessible à tous.

Le restaurant vends des brochettes de légumes ou d'ingrédients végan fites. J'avoue que j'ai été vraiment surprise du goût riche des légumes ! Les asperges, les champignons, les carottes et les brocolis avaient vraiment un goût incroyable. J'ai également été très suprise en bien de leur brochette d'alternative vegan à la viande. Je recomande vivement !
Les brochettes de patates et de patates douces étaient un vrai délice.
Les Takoyaki étaient vraiment très bon également avec probablement un bout de champignons pour remplacer le poulpe, c'était très intéressant.

Il y avait également d'autres palts qui avaient l'air très bon. Mais malheureusement nous n'avons pas des ventres assez grand pour tout tester.

Les boissons étaient également très bonnes.

L'équipe était vraiment très accueillante et sympathique.

Le prix était au dessus de la moyenne, mais ça vallait l'expérience. Il était très difficile pour nous de trouver des légumes dans les restaurants depuis notre arrivée à Osaka. Ce restaurant était vraiment un oasis vert de plaisir.

Le restaurant dispose d'une toilette très étroite qui était propre.

Il est possible de réserver des places et je le recommande car le restaurant à très peu de places assises. Mais nous avions encore beaucoup de places pour nous.

Pros: Les légumes savoureux

Takoyaki veganos muy ricos

Excelente lugar, todo muy rico con comida tradicional de osaka en version vegana 💜
El precio no es barato, pero vale la pena.
El restaurante está al final de un pequeño callejón, y tiene un letrero que dice claramente: vegan gluten free.
