Good vegetarian restaurant - Edit
This is a good vegetarian restaurant with a lot of vegan choices. The food is freshly prepared and the portion sizes are good but it's average in terms of the food taste, ie, there is nothing particularly outstanding on the menu.
Read morePros: Friendly staff, Good value
Cons: Nothing outstanding, Nearly all the dishes contain gluten

It's okay but avoid the "ramen" - Edit
I'll be honest, I'm not sure why everyone raves about this place so much. It's not bad.. just okay. There are much better places nearby imo. It's apparently the oldest vegetarian restaurant in Osaka and seems like they haven't updated much since then. It feels quite old-school vegetarian restaurant.
Read moreI've eaten here multiple times, mostly out of convenience. The daily lunch plate is pretty decent although not as good value as it used to be now they've increased the price.
But I find their a la carte dinner menu more hit and miss.
The curry is okay albeit mild, and the BBQ rice bowl is nice. But the "soy burger" is really just a bean burger, which is fine just not what it claims to be. And I swear the "ramen" was just spaghetti in weak vegetable stock.
In conclusion, it's fine but nothing special. If you do visit, avoid the "ramen".

Green Earth has a really homey, “Grandma’s Kitchen” kind of vibe to it and the food is also exactly that! It’s really good, healthy and fresh. Everything tasted delicious and homemade. The restaurant is very simple—staff were very friendly. We saw many locals dining there. Highly recommend!

Soooo lecker - Edit
Das Essen in diesem Restaurant war einfach nur lecker. Wir waren direkt zur Öffnungszeit dort und die ersten im Laden. Wir wurden sehr freundlich begrüßt und bekamen eine englische Karte. Dort gab es alles von Sandwiches, Suppen, Kuchen, Reisbowls bis hin zu Daily Menus die sich täglich ändern.
Read moreIch hatte ein Avocado Toast (das Toast wird dort selbst gebacken) und ein Lemon Tea. Es war so so lecker und für japanische Verhältnisse relativ günstig.
Dazu sprach das sehr freundliche Personal gut Englisch. :)
Wir werden diesen Laden auf jeden Fall nochmal besuchen!😄

Very Familiar, Safe, But Unimaginative, Veggie Food - Edit
Late review but Green Earth was a solid addition to our eating tour of Osaka. Proclaiming itself to be the oldest vegetarian option in Osaka, there is something very reminiscent of the Chinese-style vegetarian restaurants that I've frequented a lot in Malaysia. There's no onion or garlic in the dishes and they're mostly on the basic, no-frills side of things.
Read moreThere are a lot of good value choices for meals. The lunch set we ordered, seems to have the same key components each time but the main star of the dish seems to vary depending on when you visit. When we were there, it was a garbanzo burger, which, although a bit plain, was filling. Put together with a salad, rice and some pickles, it was a good lunch option. We also ordered the tempe bowl, where again, had it a bit more flavour or imagination to it, would be something to rave about. As it was, it was pleasant and filling.
The menu has a variety of western dishes and simpler offers such as noodles and curries, so there are definitely choices for the fussy eaters in the family (ours went with ramen!).
The decor and the interior are definitely more, shall we say, traditional? The vibe is definitely that of going around to your grandparents to eat. The staff also had the same welcoming, "take-care-of-you" approach that you'd get when visiting relatives. It was quite nice and again, very familiar.
I don't know if Green Earth is worth a trip if it would involve going out of your way, but if like us, you're staying close by, I don't think you'll be disappointed if you were to allocate one of your meals here.

top rec in the area - Edit
It has a unique, nice retro Kissa vibe. All vegan! Meal of the day is very healthy, but you also have pizzas, pasta, banana shake, classical Kissa menus. Recommend the pumpkin cake! Even found they had flyers about the dolphin trade, so grabbed a few to post back in Tokyo.
