Rescued cats and vegan lunch - Edit
What a great way to relax and enjoy with rescued cats. They are so chilled out and very calm. We had lunch upstairs and paid 1,500 yen for 1 hour to play with cats.
Read moreAll lunch plates have soy based meats with different flavors- sweet sauce, sweet & sour, Chinese style and sweet vinegar & mayonnaise sauce.

Loved the atmosphere liked the food - Edit
Cute upstairs eating space. Small, only 2 tables. Good food. All meals include a soy fried meat option which is a little chewy but still good. Sweet and sour was my favorite. Had dessert and coffee then played with cats after

Cute cats & yummy food - Edit
The vegan fried chicken and tartar sauce plate was really good, and the cats seemed very well taken care of! Although it isn't specified on their site, it seemed that a reservation is preferred since there are only two tables. It's also a bit hard to find; there is a narrow alley slightly down the hill and across the street from LIFE supermarket (don't go down the shotengai as I did, it gets confusing). There are photos with directions posted on their website if you get lost.

Pure magic - Edit
Where else can you eat delicious vegan food while watching adorable rescue cats playing? This place is a little out of the way, but WELL worth the trip. I wanted to take all the kitties home with me!

Worth the trip! - Edit
This cafe was amazing. The food is incredible and the cats are all rescues that are clearly well cared for. This cafe doesn’t exploit animals like some other themed cafes do. They are affordable and accept cash and card.

Cute cats and good food. - Edit
Most animal cafes in Japan are horribly exploitative and abusive. Not this one! The cats here are all rescues searching for their forever home, and the owner take the greatest care to ensure they aren't stressed out or scared.
Read moreThe dining space is upstairs and separated from the cats, and has a really cute, trendy interior design. The menu is small but the food is really good. Unfortunately we didn't have time to stay and play with the cats this time but I'll definitely be back again.

Cats AND Yum Food - Edit
The cats are fun and super playful, so that's worth the visit alone.
Read moreThe food is also lovely, home cooked, and the best soy meat we've had in all of Japan.
The instructions on the website for Neu Cat Cafe will save you from getting lost.
Do it and support the rescue cats.
Pros: Cats, Cats, Soy meat
Cons: Tricky to find (use the website), Stairs and squishy

Cutest cats and delicious faux chicken. - Edit
The faux chicken with the meal was delicious however the rest of the food was quite bland. I didn’t regret going though it was quite expensive if you go for the meal and to spend time with the cats. Looked like a small business so I was happy to support them.

LOVED this place! - Edit
We finally managed to find a legitimate cat cafe to visit amongst all of the ‘animal cafes’ throughout Japan that exploit the poor animals.
Read moreWe couldn’t love this place more if we tried. It’s tucked away and not full of tourists, it’s spotlessly clean and the cats are clearly loved and well taken care of.
We ate lunch upstairs (no cats allowed up there) and had the soy karaage lunch set and the taco rice. Both were the delicious, the karaage was the best we’ve had in 3 weeks in Japan.
This is a must in Osaka - lets support fully vegan cafes and the fostering and rescue of cats! 😊
Pros: Delicious food , Fully vegan , Supports the rescue and fostering of cats
Cons: A little tricky to find

Come for the cats, stay for the food, stay longer for the cats - Edit
Neu is a wonderful secret hidden away from the well trafficked areas of Osaka. It’s absolutely worth the 15 minute walk from Shinsaibashi and offers a wholesome experience that the busy Shinsaibashi can’t.
Read moreThis is a good review, so I’ll try to only talk about the food. It’s simple but delicious. If you order a lunch plate you get a mound of rice, some soup, salad, soaked mushrooms, a cup of bean sprouts and veggies and whatever style of soy meat you ordered. Very simple, but all of the components taste great.
Of course, the best part of this place isn’t the food. It’s the cats and hospitality. All the cats are rescues, and they’ve been treated well to the point that a lot of them are excited to see new humans around. I’d love this ace to do well so that the cats are well supported and can find good homes.
Pros: Tasty, Cats, Cheap
Cons: Somewhat out of the way

Wonderful little cafe and adorable cats! - Edit
Myself and my husband came here for our first night in Osaka. The host was very friendly and helpful, we speak very little Japanese, but the host spoke good English which was very helpful. A variety of vegan dishes to choose from, the two we had were absolutely delicious. After our meal we spent time with the rescue cats who are all up for adoption, they all seemed extremely well cared for and loved. Such a lovely idea for an independent cafe, we will definitely return the next time we come to Osaka.
