• Wasted trip

Having seen good reviews for this place - and a negative comment on another local establishment where people had turned up to find it closed, without notice - we went out of our way to trek across town to Paprika on our last day in Osaka - in midsummer, with heavy luggage. You've guessed, it was closed without notice. No sign on the door, no notice on their 'website' (i.e. Facebook page, which marked it as 'open now'), no response (let alone an automated message etc.) when we phoned, no reply to a Facebook message (even though they're marked as 'highly responsive'), the neighbours knew nothing... We waited around for around half an hour, then gave up. Perhaps there had been some sudden emergency? I'd like to give them the benefit of the doubt, But there was no apology or reference to this on their page over the following few days, so I can only assume that they were simply acting irresponsibly, with poor customer service & communications. YMMV but we won't be back.
