Great food!

We had a mix of mapo tofu, fried vegetables (water spinach), mapo tofu with noodles and dumplings.
Ordered some rice because it was spicy due to the szechuan pepper.
We also tried the special: dessert: shaka dragonfruit icecream.

Pros: Tasty, Good prices and portions, Nice staff

Pros: All the food, Vegan „graffiti“

Cons: Little choice of drinks

Leckerer taiwanesischer veganer

Sehr leckeres veganes Essen. Das Preis-Leistungsverhältniss ist richtig gut. Vor allem empfehlenswert sind die Frühlingsrollen. Uns hat alles sehr gut geschmeckt, aber die Frühlingsrollen waren die Besten. Der Inhaber sehr nett. Coole Ordermaschine.

Pros: Die Frühlingsrollen, Leckeres veganes Essen, Die Atmosphäre

Didn't turn me away coming in late

Rushed to this place as it was closing but the owner took kindly to this starving vegan, and made the most delicious rice and chicken dish, keeping the restaurant open nearly 30 mins past the closing time. The walls had testimonials from happy customers and I whole heartedly support the sentiments written there.

Cheap and delicious

I love the portion sizes, the price and the taste. I was very hungry before I came in, and now I'm full. I'm grateful to have this vegan restaurant so close to where I'm staying. I can't wait to visit again and again!

Fried rice noodles and fried wantons (16 pieces) for 1600 yen. I haven't come across another restaurant where you get that much food for that price.

The staff spoke some English and showed me how to order what I wanted. For me, it's definitely a new way of ordering food.

Pros: Taste, Price, Portion size

非常好吃麻婆豆腐

The mapo doufu had the perfect amount of spice. I really liked the ordering machine. Also, the black tea was fire.

Quick service

We went here early and were the only ones there so the service was so quick. When you get there you order on a machine which makes it easy and you hand that to the staff. Everything is vegan so don’t get confused by the labelling of dishes. We loved the dumplings and fried soy meat balls.
It was also very reasonably priced we were full and only spent 2600 yen.

Pros: Quick service, Large space , Good portions

Fantastic!

A vending machine restaurant offering an amazing variety of unique Taiwanese dishes I haven't been able to find elsewhere in Osaka (:
The staff was super friendly, the food was amazing, and the English menu translations sent me (pseudo fish should be my band name).

Can't wait to try the whole menu, the wonton soup, fish bites, and Mapo Tofu noodles all were great!

Easy to order

You order at a kiosk by the front door. Cash only. I got mapo tofu, steamed dumplings, and a side order of the fried chicken. I wasn’t big on the fried chicken, but the other two things were good.

Great service, good food

Highly recommended!
The guy at the reception was very nice and patient, he helped me a lot with the menu.
He gave us a dessert on the house while we were waiting for the food, and also gave an extra rice pack!
The prices are also very good.
Thank you!

Amazing Food at the Best Prices

I stayed just down the street from this place and ate there twice (would have eaten every night, but they are closed Monday/Tuesday). Everything I had was excellent, if you get rice or noodle you shouldn't miss out on the dumplings (get one order per person!).

I think Saijiki is the best value of any vegan restaurant I have been to. You get more food than average for each yen and the quality was superb. Nice environment with seating for fifteen or so. A hidden gem in what one of my Japanese friends called a 'slum' (any American who has spent time in a major city would find this slum adorable at worst).

Good variety

There was a lot of options on the menu. I personally didn't think the soup I had was anything to write home about and nor did my partner Tofu noodles.
However, the spring rolls were great and everyone should try them!
I liked the order system via a machine and they bring it to you.
Good value

Could be better

Off of a very loud/ busy street. Pay at the machine (cash). Food is decent, and certainly affordable.

We came twice during our stay. We had the yakibishu, some rice, toon noodles, dumplings, chicken sticks, chicken breast, a soup (Im not sure if I recall the names correctly). And some canned drinks.
Everything was very delicious. Staff was very friendly.

Came late in the evening both times, not many other people were present.

Recommended.
