Friendly owner and tasty food

The daily lunch special was great value and very yummy. We chatted with the owner a bit too. My only complaint would be the dessert we ordered which was a bit small for the price.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Daily lunch special good value, Friendly staff

Cons: Small dessert portion

Highlight of Osaka

Wonderful discovery in Osaka during an unexpected layover. We were delighted to find fresh vegetarian meals with tasty variations from our USA dishes. Owners are friendly, setting is homey and relaxed. Reasonably priced. Such a welcome relief from the challenge of traveling and attempting to find vegetarians dishes in chain restaurants.

Amazing food, amazing host.

We had a brilliant time at Green Earth, our waiter (maybe owner?) was so kind and welcoming. We had to walk a way to get here but it was totally worth it. Such a delightful place, we came out smiling.

Pros: Great vegan food, Amazing service

Dinner only on FRIDAYS!!

I’ve been going to this restaurant for about 15 years and always have such a good food and it’s very inexpensive!! The place is near Naniwa shrine on Midosuji Av. lunch opens until late (except Fridays they close bit early for dinner prep) but normally until 4:00ish they still can feed us!

Perfect brunch

Slept in a bit late and went out for brunch before Osaka castle.
For 850 ( 150 for coffee/tea/kombucha) it's a really filling deal - and every part of the dish tasted great!
Judging by other reviews, I think the set lunch is always a safe bet.

Great!

A great place! We've had dinner here on a Friday night (if I understood correctly they don't do dinner every evening, but on Friday - yes). Between the two of us, we've had beans and avocado salad (my personal number one!), ramen in a set with vegan meat, fried oyster mushrooms and vegan cake with vegan ice cream (plus a bottle of organic Italian white wine). All was great!

Pros: A lot of dishes to choose from

CHEAP & DELISH MEAL !!

Fairly close to dontonbori so defs check it out !!
We were greeted by an old man who speaks decent English. We ordered the lunch special on the front page of the menu - 850yen which is a steal !!!!
The dish was red rice, a bowl of chickpea curry, pickled cucumber and a generous serve of salad :) the portion is large and the curry was very BOMB :P
Love the vibes from this place and the lovely service.
DEFS RECOMMEND AND WOULD COME HERE AGAINN

Serves a “global vegetarian” type menu. Rice and a chickpea dish plus a curry were both delicious... friendly couple running the place.

Simple and healthy

Our waiter spoke English well. Everyone enjoyed their light lunch food, drinks, and dessert. They offer soy meat, cheese, cream cheese, mayonnaise, etc., which is awesome. Not too pricy.

Fresh food, great service.

Owner was really accomodating and super nice. Served kombucha which is unique in Japan. Great food, great staff. I believe all menu items can be made vegan.

Great spot

We enjoyed this cafe. Went there for lunch quite late (around 4pm), they still welcomed us. The male waiter was very casual but friendly and helpful. Good range on menu. Smallish servings though. Nice surroundings on front deck

Pros: Friendly staff, Good variety

Cons: Small serves

doesn’t deserve 2 stars

We got there more than an hour from closing, keeping in mind that some places doesn’t take any more orders after 9pm. The staff was rude & didn’t seem to want to let us in. They told us we’d only get to choose from a limited variety of dishes, which we were fine with.

Then we were going to order & they were very pushy with us making up our minds fast, like they just wanted us out of there. My friend got some extremely dry dish with potatoes, eggplant & mince, not sure but maybe an attempt on moussaka. I ordered bbq bowl & it wasn’t awful but it was basically just some salad leaves, rice & few chunks of soy meat.
On top of that I found a long, black hair straw in my food which sorta made me lose my appetite.

Anyways, maybe we just came at a bad time but we did not feel welcome at all & will gladly NOT visit again.

Number One in Osaka!

The fact that we went three times in one holiday to Green Earth is a testament to how good it is! The lunch of the day is the clear winner, although my husband also enjoyed the hotdog and the burger. The staff are welcoming and efficient, with excellent service. The food is wholesome, inventive and delicious, and the surroundings are calm and comfortable. Top pick for Osaka!

lifesaver!

Really easy to find using the HC nap and instantly recognisable once here. Friendly staff understand English enough to be able to have small conversations and to answer questions. I chose the day's set menu and it was a delicious and varied selection of hot and cold. They also serve and sell kombucha, so I got my probiotic kick, too! Very recommended. ☺️

Pros: many options, kombucha, lovely staff.

Cons: none

Great lunch stop

This place was an easy walk from the subway station and provided a quick, cheap and tasty lunch. We the soy meat wrap and the hot dog which filled my junk food cravings and came with potatoes and a little salad. The cakes were delish and we were so happy to finally find a vegan cheesecake. The best part of it all however was the owner who was the nicest guy ever! He was so friendly and asks us lots of questions, comparing being vegan in Japan and England.

Pros: Cheap, Homemade breads, The cakes!

Quick, cheap, good

Everything about this place is convenient. It's in a good location central to everything, the food is cheap, tasty and comes out very quickly. The man that served us spoke vgood English and was very efficient. The daily lunch was very large and is more than enough on its own. I didn't know this and ordered a hummus sandwich as well, which was also tasty and cheap but really stretched my appetite! As others have said, the food here isn't special, but it is perfect for those looking for a good feed without wasting any time.

Pros: Fast, Large serving sizes, Cheap

Spacious busy spot

This was one of the biggest spots I ate at in Japan (which doesn't mean much in Japan). Dispite the "vegan" in the description it is not fully vegan. The do offer cheese and milk but seems like mostly everything could be made vegan. I got a pasta dish that was very good but realized after I probably should have asked if it was vegan.

Pros: Well spoken english/english menu

Cons: Not exactly sure what's vegan vs veg
