Terrible, really - Edit
I really don't recommend going here and I hate leaving low stars, especially for vegan places. I truly think this is a tourist trap and they don't actually like serving vegan food. There was one good dish, half of our order never came out, you sit in rooms used for nursing mothers (cool honestly, but in hindsight adds to this experience).
Read moreIt was 4 of us, and we ordered 5 entrees. They came out 1 at a time. 1 was good and decent sized, one was miniscule like tiny, like they are joking with you so small.
At the end after waiting an hour after the 3rd entree came out, we told them we were leaving. The cashier asked if we were full in a joking manner and I'm sure was trolling us knowing we weren't. They served food so insanely small it had to be a joke. I can't write this any more plainly and you will likely still go since it says vegan and gluten free, but I really hope my review can help you go to any other restaurant in all of Osaka because they will all be better. This truly was awful.
The only reason I'm leaving this is because I looked at the reviews and they seemed really hit or miss, so we tried it. There are plenty of places without such a wide berth of ratings and I implore you please for the love of all food go anywhere else.

The Second Room - delicious vegan Japanese - Edit
Very welcoming. You get your own private room to eat. The food was awesome and it was wonderful to be able to eat traditional Osaka dishes vegan.

Yummy takoyaki - Edit
Really yummy takoyaki, everything we had was yum, karaage was really good. The kushikatsu was nice but overpriced for what it was.
Read moreIt was really hard to find took 30 minutes for us but love the setup we watched some tv and felt like we were home.
Pros: Takoyaki, Karaage, Set up with sofa and tv
Cons: Price, Hard to find

Japanese livingroom-feeling - Edit
Pretty hard to find, but good.
Read moreThe greeted was unkindly with zero lust setting but the waitress has made it away again. (Super friendly)
One makes here the experience to eat in a Japanese living room which was very nice.
Unfortunately, the food didnt knock us down, was good but the cabbage was too large cut which is not necessarily great.
The karage was too crispy - hard to bite.
Pros: GF
Cons: Pricey

Incorrect Restaurant Name - Edit
The real name of this restaurant is "The Second Room Cafe." You will not be able to find this on Google if you search for it as "vegan and gluten free Osaka."

Great Takoyaki - Edit
As mentioned in other comments, the food is served in a private room with a couch and coffee table. I personally liked their Takoyaki. The food is a bit pricey.

GREAT food. [** to find, it’s located on level B1 **] - Edit
The food is sensational. The okonomiyaki is REALLY good - close to how I remember the fish-based version. (There’s no egg in it or waving bonito on top either 🤣)
Read more** the restaurant is based on level B1 **
You’ll be led to a private room, with two couches/sofas, a TV, and a coffee table. These rooms are used for mum’s with small kids during the day and then at night they’re used for the restaurant. It’s quirky but cool.
*** The portion sizes are BIG. Don’t make the mistake that we did and order 4 dishes for two people, thinking that we would get four small Japanese/izakaya size dishes. They’re actually fairly western size meals. Even the Karaage chicken is a full meal in itself even though it’s 5 pieces. They’re huge!
Anyway, if you’re hungry and you want some very tasty food, this is the place to come. It’s owned and run by a chef and his wife who’s a nutritionist.
You won’t be disappointed.
Pros: Portion sizes , Tasty food, Private rooms

Pricey but worth trying - Edit
It's good to dine in a room with a TV and can charge the phone. Hopefully half portion is available.

Okay-ish, but better options are around nearby - Edit
It’s okay-ish. The kushikatsu was good, the okonomiyaki was teeny tiny but tasty, and the takoyaki were okay. It’s pretty expensive for what it is, and the place has clearly recently changed from a different cafe. Individual rooms that have seen better days, a bit scungy. Couches were very worn out, and needed a good steam clean.

All vegan Osaka food - Edit
It's quite unique that they serve all vegan food and you can enjoy Osaka food.
Read moreWe had Okonomiyaki, Kushikatsu, and salad. They were all tasty, but the portion was so small that I left the place still feeling not full at all.
All food is a bit too expensive for the portion and it seems like they're clearly targeting tourists, I felt like this place is a tourist trap.
Pros: Taste of food , Private room
Cons: Portion size , Old couch, Price

Staff were nice but pricing feels like tourist trap - Edit
You eat in a private room that has low couches that have seen better days. The staff speak English, the menu is entirely in English, with overpriced items. The food is not bad, but portions are small for the price.

Great lil spot for vegan Osakan delicacies - Edit
Great lil spot. As the name would suggest, some of Osaka's favorite delicacies in vegan and gluten-free format.
Read moreGreat to get to try some of the best Osaka has to offer in a vegan accessible version.
The takoyaki are delicious, and the vegan fried chicken was terrific.
