Id skip it - Edit
The restaurant has a great ethos which I really wanted to support but sadly there's nothing authentic about the food that's served up.

A good way to experience vegan Okonomiyaki in Osaka - Edit
I had the vegan Okonomiyaki and the vegan 'octupus'balls. It is difficult to find either of them vegan anywhere in Japan, but also in Osaka. So Matsuri is a great place to try them both!
Read moreIt is a small restaurant which is easily reachable by train or bus.

Not disgusting, just kinda bad. - Edit
The service was poor. Almost 0 [censored] given by the owner. Water and green tea costs money unlike basically anywhere else in Japan. The ramen had a bit of soap in it and that half egg that came with it, was hard boiled and not marinated.
Read moreThe vegan takoyaki was sloppy and had octopus in it and the vegan stir fry had bonito flakes on top. Sure, the whole place caters to people wanting a rare thing, vegan/vegetarian/halal versions of Japanese food, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I'd rather eat konbini food than this.

worth the detour - Edit
Came here just for the takoyaki as seemed to be the only place in Osaka that did it. The takoyaki was super delicious, the restaurant is cosy and has a nice vibe, and there is a small shop as well which sells things like vegan ramen kits. Restaurant is also 100% muslim friendly.

Vegan Takoyaki! - Edit
We made a special trip out here because I wanted vegan Takoyaki. That was great and if I was in the area, I would stop in for that again. The stir fried noodles were meh and the wasabi ramen was not my jam. I think I was expecting a clear broth with a hint of wasabi or a bit of fresh wasabi to customize. This was a very thick creamy broth with an overpowering wasabi flavor. I love wasabi with sushi, but this was so strong that I couldn’t take a normal bite without it feeling like my head was going to explode. Lol. It didn’t have much going on flavor or texture wise beyond the wasabi, just some corn and green beans. Your mileage may vary and if you LOVE wasabi then go for it, but if you are on the fence, just get the Takoyaki (or try the vegan curry ramen or Okonomiyaki- I didn’t have those).

100% Need to go again! - Edit
I loved stopping by here in 2019. I would love to stop by again and try more vegan options on my next trip! The owner was friendly, everything was made so quick and it was so yummy. We had a lot of non-japanese vegan food on our trip so having some okonomiyaki and yaki-soba noodles was very nice! I really want to try the takoyaki but when we went in 2019 it said it was vegetarian and not vegan (slightly confusing since I was previous vegan reviews that had the takoyaki, but maybe the menu changes depending on ingredients available at the time). i loved the hand-made vegan menus.

Average food but very friendly owner - Edit
The food was average and quite expensive. We ordered two okonomiyaki but we got only half each. I understand that vegan ingredients are more expensive, but we were very surprised. The owner is very very friendly and I like the variety of foods they offer.
Read morePros: Many options
Cons: Expensive, average taste

Dissapointing - Edit
To be honest the food really wasn’t nice. The okonominyaki was very gooey and I didn’t enjoy the flavours.

Erm - Edit
okonomiyaki and the takoyaki taste exactly the same. The food tastes a little flat not variations with flavour. It was ok.

False advertising - Edit
I had the okinomiyaki and the takiyako (which are actually the same dish in different shapes...), the sauce was good, but the overall texture was mainly gooey... not my cup of tea. My partner had the sukiyaki which is advertised on the menu with mock meat, tofu and 3 types of mushroom. The dish missed most of these... it was basically a salty broth with a bit of cabbage, a few mushrooms, and a tiny bit of carrots... when asked where are the other ingredients, the cook told us they did not have those today. Felt like a scam. Not going back there again...

FYI - takoyaki and okonomiyaki are completely different dishes. One is a battered donut-like ball cooked in a special mold with just octopus in the middle. The other is an omelet-like pancake with veggies and other ingredients mixed in, cooked on a grill and topped with mayonnaise.

Cosy and friendly - Edit
Cosy and friendly restaurant with separate vegan menu and vegan takeaway foodstuffs like instant ramen and curry.
Read moreWe had the takoyaki, okonomiyaki and curry ramen. Takoyaki was by far the favourite. Okonomiyaki was basically the same as the takoyaki but in pancake form.

Was not a fan of the Okonomiyaki - Edit
It was chewy which surprised me, I can’t really describe the flavours but it was just odd. I didn’t enjoy it but the curry ramen was delicious! In total it was ¥2,700 for the pancake, curry ramen and ginger soda - pricey if you ask me.
Read morePros: Curry ramen good
Cons: Didn’t like the Japanese pancake , Expensive for what I received

Great food! - Edit
Matsuri is small Japanese restaurant, that serves some Osaka-style dishes. They also serve meat but they have a vegan menu.
Read moreWe had the vegan ramen which was really good, and the vegan okonomoyaki and takoyaki. It was soooo good and I was happy I was able to taste the local food and the signature dishes of Osaka. At the end they gave us a book that other vegan customers wrote in, and a quick survey about what else we want to taste and why we became vegan.

Good option after USJ - Edit
We came right after USJ. They offer a separate menu for vegan. We ordered almost everything from the menu, and vegan ramen is our favorite!! They also offer vegan souvenirs!!! No need to worry anything at all! Couldn’t love this place more.
Read moreHowever, it’s a small restaurant with only 1-2 staffs. So it takes a while to wait for the food.
Pros: Close to USJ, Plenty of vegan options , Vegan souvenirs
Cons: Takes time to wait

Vegetarian and Vegan Friendly Restaurant Near USJ - Edit
We went to Matsuri directly from USJ. Easy to reach, just take JR 3 stops from USJ, and only 7-minute-walk from Nobe Station. They have a one separate menu book for vegetarians n vegans, so amazing! We can choose any food without worrying whether it contains fish flakes and non vege broth. Vegetarian Takoyaki is our most most most fav one!
