Quirky and awesome

Without doubt the best meal I had in Osaka.
Shiho (the owner/chef/cashier/everything) has a system that seems chaotic but it works.
Wait times vary depending on your order and while you wait you can grab a drink using the honesty system of the rubber chicken.
Meat is on the menu but veganism and veggie tastes are well catered for.

3 anni fa era più buono

Qualità scesa, una sola ragazza a gestire tutto. Un tempo era più buono. Comunque apprezzabile

Unforgettable Evening!

We adored the punk ethos and warm chaos of this place and the okomoniyaki was exceptionally good.
An amazing feat to run such a busy place with only one person! If you come here with love in your heart, it will only get warmer.

Pros: The Food, The kindness and fun emanating from every corner

Greatest restaurant of all time

ABSOLUTE MUST for all future vegan Osaka travellers. Shiho-chan is clearly a saint to be. This place is nuts. - you squeeze a squeaky chicken and chuck 200yen in a bowl and serve yourself drinks - the okonomiyaki slaps and Shiyo is super clear re vegan vs veggie etc… so no issues there

COME HERE - it’s a blast.

Oddly there are two entries for this on happy cow

SUCH A GREAT PLACE

Food takes a while to get ready, BUT everything about this place is GREAT - even the wait, and you will understand once you’re there!
The Vegan Okonomiyaki is so DELICIOUS, I wish I could eat more, but the medium size got me so full! It is BIG!
The host, Shiho-san, is a CHAMPION! She runs the whole thing by herself, and is super sweet.


GREAT FOOD, GREAT VIBES, GREAT HOST!
ps: you will love their drinks system.

Amazing Food and Owner

She has food for everyone. Vegan, vegetarian and if you eat meat. Also gluten-free.
The owner is super cute and awesome. Food is delicious and the price is okay.
You only have to pay for drinks once and can get as many free refills as you want

Awesome place awesome woman

I had the vegan Okonomiyaki and it was massive (medium size was HUGE) and so delicious. Shiho works there by herself cooking and taking orders, screaming out down a microphone when your order is ready to collect. She is like a magical food fairy making amazing food and a warm welcoming atmosphere! Get there early as she gets BUSY!!!

Quirky place with several vegan and vegetarian options

Some great vegan and vegetarian options in a fun atmosphere. Run by just one person so it can get busy with some waiting. There's a seating area upstairs, and another area downstairs with a rather intimidating ladder to get to it!

Pros: Great gyoza, Fun vibe

Great food, great atmosphere!

This place is so fun from the moment you enter. It has such an indie vibe. Its colorful, the music is spot on. Bring a sharpie to leave Shiho a note on her walls. Shiho has the walls lined with information in English to help you understand the process.

Even more you can tell from the signs and info she has so much intention and thought behind each decision in this bar. The vegan and vegetarian items are very clearly marked and for okonomoyaki you get to pick the veggies and customize to your liking.

The drinks are self service, but they have tons of options and are really easy and fun to make.

I would highly recommend this place!

Very veggi

The size M Okonomiyaki was enough to be very full by the end. The menu was clear and the staff friendly.
For my personal taste there were too many veggies on top and not enough Okonomiyaki sauce but otherwise it's good.
The sitting era feels casual and there is a section were you can take your shoes off and sit on tatami mats.
You can mix your own drinks for 200¥. The signs tell you everything you need to know. Not the usual restaurant but a nice spot to eat and hang out!

Pros: Cheap drinks, Tatami mat

Cons: Not enough Okonomiyaki sauce

Fun place to try okonomiyaki!

This is a fantastic place to try vegan okonomiyaki! You can choose your own veg to top it with. I also had the vegan gyozas to share with my partner. The owner is amazing and so much fun, she has put up qr codes explaining how to eat okonomiyaki and how to make drinks. This was also the cheapest glass of wine I’ve ever had! All drinks are 200 yen and it’s DIY.
Really amazing place and so fun to go to!!

Tasty Japanese pancake dinner

We were pretty hungry so we got size L. Don‘t do it, it’s so much food that it feeds 2 people. But it was really tasty and the owner is so nice and quirky! It’s a whole experience eating here.

BEST PLACE EVER SERIOUSLY

best meal i’ve had in japan!! lots of vegan, vegetarian and meat options (all delicious) very clear ordering and Shiho (one woman show who runs the whole thing) is awesome. i was able to order vegetarian while my partner got something with meat. seriously amazing food (also gluten free and conscious of cross contamination). if you are in osaka, MAKE THIS A PRIORITY!! i would come back to japan just to eat this meal omg (also 200 yen drinks)


should be 5 stars idc

Great dining experience

What an amazing place, in the heart of Dotonbori. Shiho is a supergirl... Order taker, cashier, chef, server, everything. Totally a one person show. She radiates high energy. Love the ambience there. They have vegan and vegetarian okonomiyaki, and it is gluten free. You can choose your vegetables. So very customized. They also have Ramen, Yakisoba and Gyoza. Try the Goya tea, its bitter and Shiho will give you a gift if you finish it. Drinks are a steal at just yen 200 each. different kinds of seatings. A must-eat experience in your visit to Osaka.

I had fried noodels here, while my friend had the okonomiyaki. Both was amazing. I would recommend it to any vegan or vegetarian person, who visits Osaka!

Cute and quirky with great vegan options

Cute and quirky restaurant. Shiho runs the restaurant and cooks all the food, she is SO friendly and speaks great English. We ordered vegan okonomiyaki. It was great that we could choose 5 vegetables we wanted in ours, they even had vegan cheese and mayo! Drinks are only 200Y, even if you choose alcohol. We were £45 for 4 Oko’s, gyoza, edamame and 4 drinks! We are leaving Osaka tomorrow or we would definitely be back!

Okonomiyaki Bar

A truly unique restaurant serving delicious vegetarian or vegan okonomiyaki.
The vegan gyoza were also really delicious.
Keep in mind, however, that there’s only one person working at this restaurant, so the wait can be very long.
I therefore recommend arriving about 15 minutes before opening time.

Amazing!!!!

I loved this place! The menu was sorted really well into what was vegan, gluten free, and meat. There were a decent amount of options and the woman who works there (runs everything herself) is very knowledgeable about ingredients making sure there is no cross contamination. There were a handful of options but I took full advantage of the gluten free AND vegan gyoza since I can never find it.

Really quirky, but good!

This place looks really quirky on both the outside and inside, but their food is delicious and the drinks are dirt cheap! The vegan okonomiyaki had a lot of filling and was nice and creamy. And it’s all gluten free! The drinks are self-service, but cost only 200 yen so it’s a steal! It’s also only a few people running this place, so overall it was a really nice and unique experience!

Super awesome place with vegan options

This little place is insanely crazy and has vegan okonomiyaki. All clearly labelled. There's two size options for the okonomiyaki, I went with medium and there was so much food. It was delicious and Shiho runs it on her own. So well priced and can make your own drinks

Pros: Clearly labelled vegan options, Friendly staff, Delicious food

Good food and amazing owner!

This place might seem chaotic at first, full of texts all over the walls. But if you start reading you will understand why are you queuing and waiting just to get an order, or why sometimes there seems to be no one to take your order. Well, this place is all managed by one woman: Shiho. She takes orders and cooks everything all by herself while being super kind, helpful and always with a bright smile. How does she do that?!
This is why the drinks have to be self-served and the table "clean" after you eat by yourself. Actually, the dishes are disposable so you just have to pick them up and throw them in the trash can, so Shiho can keep taking orders and cooking. I don't know how does she keep up!
I loved this place and all the vegan options available. The gyoza and yakisoba were really good!

Pros: Shiho is so kind!, Vegan options, Good food!
