Great baos!

We loved this small outdoor place. We would have come back the next day if it wasn't close.

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

Tasty bao buns!

Had a lovely lunch here whilst in Osaka! Good menu choice and portions were a decent size. Had the plant based meat burger and bbq sauce, bean curd cutlet and cheese sauce, and strawberry and chocolate doughnuts!

Pros: Good menu choice, Nice staff, Good portion size

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!

Really nice baos 💜

There are 11 baos to choose from, the bean curd cutlet bao was really good! And the donuts are crunchy and fresh (they cook them on the spot), so really recommend a visit!

It was a very cute place outside with a roof from sun and rain, although quite small (only 4 tables). The host was super nice and welcomed us really lovely.

Pros: Great baos, Sweet donuts, Great host and cute place

Not bad, but not everything “worked”

I love bao, and I was super excited to try this place. But even though I loved the r concept, it didn’t quite “work” for me on all levels. There were things I liked and also things I really didn’t.

To start, the bao are huge, like hamburger-bun sized. That makes the bao itself not quite the right texture, even though they are well-made. It also made them hard to eat, and you couldn’t get an even ingredient distribution in each bite.

The other problem is that I found everything to be over-sauced. That’s a preference thing but it also made them hard to eat.

The miatake bao was the best one. It had too much filling but once I ate one of the pieces it worked pretty well. I liked the spicy sauce and the mushrooms were well fried. The little bit of lettuce also worked really nicely.

The falafel bao didn’t quite work. The falafel were really soft so it was kind of squishy. The tastes were good though.

The tofu bao was honestly bad. The tofu balls were flavorless and too soft and the sesame sauce wasn’t good either. Definitely skip that one if you go here.

It was a cute place and I liked the concept a lot. I think some of the bao were better than others. It wasn’t an “avoid” but overall it wasn’t a “must do.” If you’re in the area it isn’t a poor choice, but I didn’t feel it was a great one either.

Perfect

I've tasted many baos in the past, but this one's the best one by far. There are so many options it's hard to decide, and you can't go wrong with any option since all of them are good. I highly recommend it!

Pros: Lots of tasty options!, Friendly staff!, Good music :)

The best vegan bao

My favourite is BBQ hamburg and tofu katsu. This is my favourite vegan place in Osaka. I live in Tokyo but I can travel to Osaka just for this. Absolutely love it.
