Excellent Soba in Osaka - Edit
Great little place on Osaka, the broth was so clear and fresh. The tempura melts in your mouth. Would definitely go back. Lots of vegan and gluten free options

Quick but low quality - Edit
Staff are friendly and service is quick, but it's expensive and low quality. The noodles didn't taste like soba and the vegetables had very little flavour.

Vegan soba at Osaka - Edit
Beautiful place to eat vegan soba and tempura (one of the only places to eat this in Osaka). Welcoming personnel and nice setting. A bit costy though

!!!Avoid!!! - Edit
The food was tasteless and the special gluten free noodles overcooked like mush. The noodle soup and the tempura dishes all tasted like water. The waitresses attitude was like a stroppy teenager. And then they stole almost 100 Euro from my wife and I for the pleasure of the two dishes we ordered. We told the couple next to us not to waste their money,and also the people waiting outside. Tourist trap rip-off.

They are simply exploiting the "gluten-free" niche.

Updated from previous review on 2024-08-05
Pros: התפריט הצמחוני היה ברור ובולט , המלצר שמח לעזור ולהמליץ
Cons: למנת הסובה הוספתי תבלינים כדי שלא תהיה מעט אנמית.

Excellent noodles and tempura - but expensive! - Edit
We really enjoyed our meal here - there are loads of dishes marked as vegan/veganisable. I had a soba noodle dish with veg tempura served with salt and matcha salt which was all delicious. Note though that the food here was very expensive compared to other places we’ve visited in Japan - around ¥6000 for the two of us including alcoholic drinks.

Yummy cold soba - Edit
Clearly marked vegan options. We had the cold soba with tempura and it was delicious! The tempura was quite heavy on the stomach though so maybe opt for something different unless you are super hungry.

Very clear & reassuring vegan options - Edit
The menu is so clear about how to veganize / make meals gluten-free, and the staff also makes sure to double check that they get exactly what you want. Other than that, it’s a traditional udon shop and the food was very good. Honestly, I felt that there were almost only vegans there, so I‘d love to see this place become a cruelty-free restaurant and go 100% vegan in the future!

Wonderful soba! - Edit
What a find! This place is adorable and the staff is so nice. A chef makes the soba right in front of you in a little booth (photos are allowed) and the noodles are so fresh and wonderful. I wanted the tofu soba but they were out of tofu skin so I got the tempura soba. It was nice variety. The broth for the soup is subtle but fairly complex. I enjoyed this place immensely.

Brought my omnivore mom here because she wanted to have soba. Staff were super friendly and accommodating. I got the 100% buckwheat soba with vegan tempura, flavor was a little on the subtle side but overall very filling and comforting.

Their vegan options are FANTASTIC!! - Edit
What a fantastic meal. Absolutely exquisite!
Read moreThe place is small so expect queues and disapppointment when stuff gets sold out (happened twice when wanting to repeat on different days).
So not sure if they do reservations but when in Japan, don't wait till too late and check the opening hours.
We had the Kistune soba and it was mindblowing! It has since then send me to a personal quest to try every Kitsune dish I encounter :-)
It was so so so good!
My partner had the cold soba with wasabi and daikon and it was equally superb.
Their soba is handmade right there which is fantastic to see and damn right you can taste the difference.
Didn't enjoy the tempura as much but still was good and the soba was so excellent that is what it mattered.
Absolutely amazing! Simple but so so well done and tasty.
Pros: Fantastic building, Food is amazing
Cons: Queues, Sold out fast

Cozy restaurant and great soba - Edit
It's a very cozy restaurant with many vegan options. Staff is very friendly even though they don't speak much english. They have an english menu but I found it a bit confusing to understand all the options. Vegan hot soba broth was sold out when I went. I had delicious cold soba though with super fresh tofu as well! I tried the tempura from my friend and it was also delicious, very crispy and dry.

Delicious - Edit
Small, traditional place serving freshly made soba noodles (they have a grindstone milling away in the front of the shop) with lots of clearly marked vegan options. We hopped in here between trains and the service was great. We almost came back on another transition through Osaka but we were at a different station.

Delicious tofu - Edit
Tiny traditional venue serving outstanding tofu and home made soba noodles., amongst many other options. My husband had wonderful tempura. Very close to Namba station. It stands out for the quality of the food and authentic welcome. A haven for vegetarian travellers. Menu in English. Staff are charming.

Good Soba Experience - Edit
It is a typical japanese little Ramen restaurant with about 4 tables for two and a bank with 3 langer tables.
Read moreThey have hot and cold soba with different kind of tofu, and nearly all can be chosen as vegan. They also offer gluten free soba.
The vegan broth of the hot soba was sooo good! Really great. The soba are fresh and handmade. The price about 7 Euro per bowl is absolutely reasonable. I have eaten pricier ramen in Kyoto.
Go there and enjoy the food!
Very kind service also, all very helpful and friendly. Lovely place. Forgot to take pictures, I was too hungry.
