Delicious Osaka cuisine!

I LOVED this place!! I was hoping to grab some authentic Osaka cuisine (vegan ofc) and this place did NOT disappoint! I left feeling so satisfied (and sad that I can’t make another trip before I leave). I highly recommend visiting if you’re in the area and want to try Osaka style okonomiyaki, takoyaki, and the works. The sitting areas were so cozy and quaint since they’re semi-private. The overall vibes of the restaurant were very pleasant and peaceful (despite being in a mall in a very populated city).

The only downside is how confusing it was to find the place since it’s in the basement of a mall.

Pros: Vegan Osaka cuisine , Very friendly service , Quiet semi-private dining areas

Osaka specialties

It was nice to try Osakas specialties in a vegan version. They were tasty; but maybe not my favorite Japanese food.
We also tried the matcha parfait, which was really good; many interesting flavors.

I also liked the seating arrangements with little semi-private rooms.
Many toys and books for kids available.

It’s on B1-floor inside a mall, very much in the corner. Service was very nice.

A Little Hard to find but worth it!

I had all 3 main dishes, because I was very hungry 😅 there were all really tasty!
You need to go to Bf1 and then you find it in one corner.

Great service and inventive menu

Lots of interesting twists on Japanese classics. Excellent beer selection too!
It is in the basement (B1) along with lots of other food & drink establishments.

Staff extremely personable and food a tier above

Better than OKO in terms of flavor and better Takoyaki than the most popular place on happycow in Dotonbori or whatever it’s called lol.

The waiter Andy is a Mexican American who spoke with me a lot and even helped me find a cool fashion shop and area. Fluent English speaker and very willing to talk to you at great length. Place is deserving of 5 stars for sure.

Vegan okonomiyaki and takoyaki,

This place is super close to Osaka station and offers vegan and gluten free versions of traditional Japanese dishes.
The place is located at the basement level of a shopping mall. The easiest way to find is to check the restaurant's Instagram as they pinned several "how to find us" videos.
The service was nice and the food was lovely. The place has Japanese living room style rooms so you will need to take your shoes off before entering.

Pros: Food was lovely, Service was nice, Close to Osaka station

Consigliato

Il posto è il numero 14 all'interno dell'edificio, lo potete trovare lungo il perimetro al piano inferiore.
Quando entrate vi fanno rimuovere le scarpe e si accede alla stanza con i tavoli che è molto carina. Buono soprattutto l'okonomiyaki che abbiamo rivalutato dopo una prima esperienza così così
Ottima selezione dei piatti più famosi della zona

Convenient and yummy

We got sat in a cozy long room. Server was friendly and spoke very good English. Ordered the hand roll sushi, okonomiyaki, gyoza, and kushikatsu skewers. Everything was good but the okonomiyaki was definitely a standout, and the gyoza were just okay. We also had parfait for dessert which was good. Not one of my fav dinners in Japan but def recommend if you’re close by!

We ate here 3 times

The Takoyaki and Okonomiyaki are great! But everything else is as good so choose whatever your heart desires. The restaurant tries to accommodate everyone and they speak English. Great Vegan experience.

The matcha dessert saved it

Food was good. Service a bit slow on the night. The dessert made it. Don’t get the skewers
Hard to find.

Just okay

Perks for a fully vegan menu. It's safe for many with stomach issues / allergens, but thus lacks greatly in flavor.
I'd give a score of 2.5 - 3. I personally wouldn't go back. The service wasn't great in my experience, and I sadly didn't feel very welcome. It was kind of difficult to locate. Went for dinner (5pm). After waiting for awhile, We were seated in a private room with a television playing random things and told to call in our order over the phone, but not speaking japanese well, the man had to come us instead. We ordered karaage, gyoza, and the salad. The salad was good, the karaage's texture was decent but could've been warmer. It had a sort of hot sauce that helped. I liked the gyoza, but it didn't have much flavor. Added a point for the matcha parfait. If anything, I recommend getting that. Minus a point for them forgetting to give us water we asked for.

Absolutely amazing

It was great to be able to try the local dishes in an animal/planet friendly way! And they tasted amazing! It might be a touristy place, but it's certainly worth visiting.

for tourists

The place is inside of a big building.
A small restaurant, with english speeking waitress (most of the guest are foreigners).
They trying to make the japonese atmosphere, but for me still europian.

The food is great (my table partner, who is originally meat eater said the same).
Maybe on the menu should be more choises.

gut

Das Kushikatsu ist einfach toll!
Die Takoyaki waren leider etwas zu mild im Geschmack. Da gibt es in Osaka bessere vegane Optionen.
Das Personal ist super nett😄

Incredible Opportunity to try Osaka Cuisine!

I’ve always wanted to try Takoyaki and Okonomiyaki, but nearly every version that exists has meat or fish present. However, this restaurant is completely vegan and has so many Japanese dishes to try. The quality of the food was incredible and it was such a cosy little place in a convenient location close to the station, where we felt very comfortable. Would recommend for anyone to try Japanese Cuisine!

Pros: Takoyaki and Okonomiyaki! , Easy to find location , Delicious

Particularly good for gluten free

If you are gluten free then this place is a must. For me the gluten free does mean you miss a bit of the flavour so whilst I am hugely supporting of this cafe it wasn’t the most tasty food we have had. The Okonomiyaki was beautiful and we really enjoyed it. The location is a little odd inside a mall on the lower level. However as we have come to expect in Japan amazing friendly staff and great attention to detail.

Small busy restaurant

A great find in a busy shopping area. We removed our shoes and ate in a room with several tables. Loved the okonomiyaki and Takoyaki.

Cons: A little hard to find
