Had such a great experience at this restaurant! I was so happy to be able to try some okonomiyaki and takoyaki that followed my dietary needs 🙌🏼 the ramen were delicious too! The hot chili sauce came on the side so you can add it to your liking. Would def go again!

Vegan and gluten-free traditional Japanese dishes - Edit
The restaurant is very low-key, located in the basement of a strip mall on a quiet street in downtown Osaka. The atmosphere is very homey and traditional - you have to take off your shoes and sit at a low table in a living room. Staff were friendly and spoke English.
Read moreThe menu features vegan and gluten-free versions of traditional Japanese dishes. The okonomiyaki was quiet tasty and came in a generous serving, but it was slightly burnt at the bottom. I did not get the takoyaki but it looked delicious, too.

Great food. Perfect if you are looking for vegan versions of japanese dishes like takoyaki or okonomoyaki. - Edit
Great restaurant with good atmosphere and good service. Menu wasn't that big but had vegan versions of many dishes I was wanting to try like takoyaki and okonomiyaki. Recommend.

Vegan and Gluten Free - Edit
We stopped by on a Sunday night.
Read moreThe place was busy and had a 15 min wait for a table.
We were excited to eat a complete vegan meal in Osaka.
Our server took our order. The food came out sporadically.
The french fries were cold. The gyoza was nicely prepared.
The fried “chicken”
dish was very chewy but had a nice spicy sauce.
We were unable to get drink refills, no water was served despite our request.
No service to clean up the table. When we ordered dessert, we initially just pushed all the dirty dishes to the side to make room for the desserts.
This was a 2 star experience but will get and extra star due to completely vegan and gluten free menu.
Pros: Vegan, Gluten Free
Cons: Food was average at best, Service was lacking

The Second Room Cafe - Edit
Venue
Read moreIt’s in the B1F of a shopping place. It’s plot 14 on the shop map. Once you’re a bit closer, you can’t really miss it thanks to the huge banner declaring itself gluten free and vegan outside. Shoes off before you enter the side room where you’ll be eating. Kinda reminded me of a school nursery/kindergarten in a way.
Service
I was greeted at the desk by a fluent English speaking member of staff. I was then taken to my table and handed a menu. The same member of staff came back maybe 5-10mins later to take my order.
Food
I ordered okonomiyaki, takoyaki and karaage with a coke. The karaage arrive first and was excellent. Salty and chewy with a lemon slice for drizzling on the juice as well as a sauce. The coke arrived just after. Then the okonomiyaki arrived and was also pretty great. Plenty of cabbage, plenty of sauce. Lastly was the steaming hot takoyaki. Soft and gooey innards. Crispy on the outside and slathered in sauce and green onions. Very good.
Price
Just shy of 4000jpy for everything. Kinda expensive in comparison to some places but I’d come here again.

i ordered on uber eats and they gave me one instead of two, but anyway, it was a good okonomiyaki. full of cabbage and crispy on the outside. the soy meat was too salty and chewy though.

Love- Go visit - Edit
First off, I loved the vibe of the private room.
Read moreThe second, and most important thing, the food is delicious. We tried the three dishes from Osaka and it was delicious.
Also just to point out, the location is a bit difficult to find. It took us about 15 minutes or so to find the place. It's located in the B1 level of the building.
Pros: Great food, Friendly staff , All vegan
Cons: Hard to find

Best vegan takoyaki to be had in osaka - Edit
It was seriously so good. I didnt even miss the gluten, since im only vegan.
Read moreThe takoyaki was crispy on the outside, soft on the inside.
The place is a bit hard to find, you have to go down a floor.

Very nice! - Edit
Lovely space, Lovely staff and very nice vegan Osaka specialties. We were told that the place is another family style restaurant during the early hours (called Second Room Cafe) and then turns into Vegan & Gluten free Osaka - so it's best to Come for lunch / early ish dinner to avoid crowds.
Read moreThe food is cooked separately though!

Vegan Osaka classics - Edit
You can try an array of Osaka classics in this rather small restaurant. It is a really relaxing place. The staff are friendly but the service is indeed rather slow and the food is served one after another, when they finished making it, and not at the same time. This way you will definitely be spending an rather long time in the restaurant which can be good after an hectic day exploring Osaka.
Read moreThe food was freshly prepared and tasted good "like the original" how a local described it to me.
Pros: Vegan Osaka classics, Many options, Not overpriced
Cons: Slow service

My meat eater husband also enjoyed it! - Edit
We tried the okonomiyaki, karaage, gyoza, and takoyaki. All vegan and all gluten-free, so expect the batter to be different to usual versions. The takoyaki was such a genius version with the mushroom center! We both loved it. Lovely quiet environment. Shop number 14, check the map inside.
Read moreI just read some reviews and I think you need to know how hidden, quiet and simple this atmosphere is. Its great to have a really good conversation with someone. We came when it wasn't busy and the service was fast, so I guess it depends how many people are there at the time.

Temaki is a type of sushi that is rolled by hand into a cone shape. The word "temaki" is Japanese for "hand roll". Temaki sushi is traditional and ensures the seaweed has a fresh crunch.
Read moreVeggiLulu
It is even written in the menu that you roll it yourself and that the staff can assist you.
Read moreBy roling it right before eating it is the freshest you can get.

Thank you for explaining, Kelsey and Lulu. I understand it's just I wish they had a regular vegan sushi. The menu choices nor taste of the dishes my friend and I tried weren't great IMO unfortunately 😞

Vegan and gluten-free traditional dining experience - Edit
It was nice to find this in Umeda station, although a little bit difficult to find. Just know that this is in B1 of the station. If you are a walk-in diner, prepare to wait a while. For context, I arrived at 5:15, got in at 5:53, and left at 7:50.
Read moreMy first impression upon entering wasn't great as the front of the house just immediately advised to come back in 30 mins but did not take any of my details. I ended up having to wait that whole time plus a little bit longer at the entrance because I wasn't clear about the system. I saw groups of people leave but they still didn't let us get in until long after.
It was quite an experience to have a room to yourself for dinner. The food also took quite a while although for the okonomiyaki, they say on the menu that it will take 15 mins to make (I feel it took a little longer than this though). It was nice and substantial, and the salad was good. I had the chocolate cake for dessert. The sweetness was just right(not too overly sweet), but the cake was dry.
Pros: Good okonomiyaki, Traditional dining experience
Cons: slow service
