Best food we’ve tried so far

Hands down the best vegan food we’ve tried in Japan. The baos were extremely soft, fluffy and perfectly warm. The whole experience was even more enhanced with the charming little patio seating and very charming and polite staff.

We ordered kakiage tempura and maitake fritters baos with a side of fries, and strawberry and chocolate donuts for dessert. Donuts were perfectly crispy and flavorful, but baos were so good we’ve decided to take two more for dinner as a take out (tofu tsukune and plant based meat burger). Even though several hours have passed before we tried the take out ones, they very still perfect and tasty.

Pure 5/5, could not recommed more!

Pros: Incredible food, All vegan, A lot of options, Charming staff, Fast service

A must visit in Osaka!!

This place is so fabulous! I had the freeze-dried beancurd cutlet bao and it was incredible - it was like a chicken kiev! 🤤🤤🤤 They clearly know their way around vegan cuisine and have created a unique and delicious offering. Definitely try!!

Cozy place, bun delicious, but very fast food

The bun is delicious, but the filling is very fast food, the cutlets are fried in oil or deep-fried, this is terribly harmful and should not be eaten at all. I recommend that the cafe staff make healthier products, with more greens, vegetables, cutlets can be steamed, but don’t poison vegans with deep fat and oil, please🙏🏼 The place is very cozy, the service is excellent💕

Pros: Bao, Smoothie

Cons: Cutlet fried in oil and deep fried

Great

My hotel was right outside Kuromon Market about 5-8 minutes from here, and also I was hanging around Den Den town a lot. As such, I was incredible grateful to have Luu's Bao in the area.

I ate here multiple time and came away satisfied each time. The service was fast, the price was fair, and the food was tasty.

Extra notes:

The strawberry donut was too sweet, but the plain was pretty good.

The place plays pop-ish radio.

Liked it a lot

First meal I had in Japan. I really liked it. Original and very tasty. Also liked the location, nice to eat outside and a bit hidden from the main street

Yummy Bao

This was great! Super good portions - highly recommend the tartar wasabi. We enjoyed having lots of options, and the fries were more like wedges and delicious 😋

Pros: French Fries with Mayo, Tartar Wasabi, Shittake Fritters

Good vibes

The bao was really big and super soft, they serve it in a bamboo tray and the prices are good.

Fun bao

We tried their maitake bao with spicy sauce and their kakiage bao with wasabi sauce, which were both really delicious. We ordered for to-go that’s why the sauce is on a separate container. The sauce was also really good. We also tried their matcha and chocolate (not pictured) donuts. They were not too sweet. I prefer the matcha though. I will try their kinako donut next time.

Oh, and the service was good.

Great eastern Asian comfort food

Bao buns are definitely great and the mock meat in it was delicious. Had a yummy green smoothie and the iced coffee was pretty good as well.

Donuts are skippable but tasty

Pros: Bao Buns, Smoothie, Iced Coffee

Cons: Donuts

AMAZING go here ♡

Good price for the amount and quality. It's so delicious and entirely vegan (the entire menu is!). Don't forget to add the fries. I also really liked that they give you four bottles of sauce for your fries and bao.

Pros: 100% vegan , Good amount , Free sauce

Nice but expensive

I had the fried mushroom bao which was really tasty but very difficult to eat. In the end I had to take the mushrooms out and eat them separately which slightly ruined the point.

The chips were very average, I would recommend going without.

The doughnut was really nice and cooked fresh.

Big Fan of Deez Buns

What an excellent stop for lunch! The large bao buns are delightfully fluffy, and come with a utensil to help you push your sammich stuff further into the bun. There was absolutely no grease with either of our meals, and it was the perfect amount of food to satiate our hunger and not be overstuffed.

I ordered the freeze dried bean curd with cheese sauce, and it was perfect. The breading on the tofu wasn't too thick, and the red cabbage and cucumber complimented the texture and flavors well. The tofu block itself has a good density to it. The cheese sauce was light and tasty, and had the right amount of drizzle to get a bit in each bite without oversaturating the thing (I hate overly sauced things).

Hubs got the falafel with sweet and spicy sauce. Falafel was fluffy and not over fried, with a light crisp on the outside. The sweet and spicy sauce was delicious 🤤, and balanced well with the falafel, despite previous concerns.

The donuts were not at all regretted. They are fried on the spot, with a nice light cakey texture. They shockingly aren't very greasy. Lastly, the ladies working here are absolutely delightful 😁

They do take credit card here.

Amazing bao buns

Amazing choice, tasty food, lovely staff. Probably best baos I've ever eaten. My boyfriend who isn't vegan/veggie also agreed.

Cons: There were bits of dirt in our water!

Outstanding!

The must go to if you're in Osaka. I was there twice and each time I just had to order a second bao bun buger because it was so tasty. It's vegan perfection and tastes simply amazing. Highly recommended!
