Great vibes, decent food - Edit
The owner is amazing! So much energy and a great fun vibe. The food was just okay and signage was a bit misleading, having us think this was a fully vegetarian/vegan restaurant. Nonetheless, worth a visit if you happen to be in the area!

A very fun place - Edit
This is not the right address but when you go to this address there is a sign with the new place which is very close by. It was a very fun experience with a few funny surprises. We also enjoyed making our own random drinks. The food was also good, I had yaki soba. But it was annoying how the music was on repeat with a very short playlist. The kitchen downstairs smelled too strong to stay for a long time but we didn’t wait downstairs so that was okay. Kitchen didn’t seem super clean.

Mediocre - Edit
There's 1 person that runs this place, while she works her [censored] off and has a big smile, she really does need to do something about 2 things:
Read more1. The hot kitchen that people need to wait near for a long time to order the food
2. The cleanliness of the place (you can't rely on customers to clean up, some clearly don't do a good job).
Plenty of vegetarian/vegan options and it is flexible, so I appreciated this the most. Fun drinks but can also be confusing on what you can take.
The yakisoba was surprisingly good, the gyoza was delicious but the okonomiyaki was not too my liking at all. It's was gloopy in the middle, it needed much more cooking time!
Pros: Plenty of options, Plenty of drinks, Flexible
Cons: Long lines right in front of hot kitchen, Dirty

nice! - Edit
I visited today and it was great! I was able to enter the store in a timely manner without waiting. I am allergic to gluten and eggs, but even I, who is allergic to eggs, was able to eat very deliciously. The drink bar is also very fun and you can enjoy various drinks for 200 yen per cup. We will definitely return.

Excellent vegan options - Edit
Excellent vegan Okonomiyaki and gyoza. We ordered two regular sized portions - they were very large and filling. The food was very tasty.
Read moreVery unusual experience, but lots of fun. You queue to order. We queued for about 10-15 mins at around 7.30pm in June. Then given a number - you can make your own drinks (all for a set price of 200 yen) you can then get a seat and wait for your number to be called on the microphone. We waited about 20 mins. She is a one person operation and does the work of many! It adds to the fun. Pleased we visited on our trip to Osaka.

Quirky and tasty - Edit
Shiho runs this all on her own, despite that we were able to get a table and served fairly quickly by arriving at around 6pm. Vegan okonomiyake is made to your taste by choosing veg from a selection. Definitely a must visit in Osaka
Read morePros: Cheap, Shiho is lovely

Extremely cool place! - Edit
This place is very punk rock!! Run completely by Shiho-chan who is cooking away on the first floor, and announces when your food is ready through a speaker connected to multiple floors, there's a live stream of the kitchen, and you can chat back through a mic on each floor. Music is great, and so is the food. Awesome vegan menu - had the vegan okonomiyaki and could pick 5 veg to add and vegan cheese. My partner had delicious yakisoba and we shared a generous portion of fries. The prices are slightly more than elsewhere we've seen in Japan but definitely worth it. You make your own drinks (!!!!) for 200 yen and there's absolutely everything you could think of. I had decision paralysis and just had a whisky and coke! But there are dozens of liqueurs, mixers, spirits, syrups, wine and beer.

Best fun ever!!! - Edit
Wow!!! This place is a little gem in Osaka! We absolutely loved our experience eating and drinking here. Shiho (the owner) runs the whole place on her own, and boy does she do an amazing job! It's such a fun space to eat at and connect with people. The food was absolutely outstanding! We will definitely go back again. Ohhhh and we loved the 200 yen make your own drinks station! So cool!

So cute. So good! - Edit
You can get a vegan okonomyaki, gyozas, yakisoba. The owner is SO nice and cute and friendly! She runs this place alone and it is just lovely. You order at the bottom floor and go upstairs to wait for your food, everything really spreads joy there and the food is good! A large okonomyaki is enough for two people!

Amazing restaurant - Edit
The okonomiyaki were delicious. So full afterwards! It's so impressive how only one woman runs this shop. The whole atmosphere is amazing and vegan-friendly. We were there around 8, did not have to wait for long.

Deserves 5 stars ⭐️ - Edit
I would have loved to give 5 stars but unfortunately it’s not possible. Still I recommend this place to anyone who doesn’t to miss out some of Osaka’s most famous dish as a vegan.
Read moreThe food is absolutely delicious, the restaurant colourful and the owner incredible kind and full of energy (she runs the whole business on her own!). Be aware of the fact that it’s always full and you might have to wait for some time (you can get water and free nuts while waiting though :))

5⭐️ (can only rate 4 b/c not fully vegan) - Edit
Impressive little one-woman-run joint in Osaka with delicious vegan okonomiyaki and gyoza! It’s a bright little storefront on a fairly sketch street. When you come in, take a number and go upstairs- with the option to self-serve and pay for a drink, so bring some yen! She will call your number and then you can come down and order off the vegan menu. When you get the okonomiyaki (a large is enough for 2 people) add some vegan mayo (!) and pull it apart as you go with chopsticks. Highly recommend!

Shiho! - Edit
We love Shiho, the owner, who is full of energy and adorable despite working nonstop in a hot kitchen till 2am. Spouse and I were impressed this was a one-person operation.
Read moreThey recently moved to a larger location about 3 minutes away (I did submit an address update here but will attach a photo in case it has not updated yet). I think there are 5 floors?
For the vegan okonomiyaki, you pick 5 vegetables to include on it. We also got the “cold tofu” dish and the gyoza.
The new location had paint pens so you could draw on the walls; the location is so new that there is still ample space. We would definitely return again if in Osaka! A very memorable part of our trip.
Pros: Wait was not as long as people have said, Amazing food, New location is roomy!
Cons: I worry the owner works too hard lol

Absolutely recommendable - Edit
We love this place, which we already visited on our previous trip to Osaka a few years ago. Be careful because they have changed places, now they are very close, in another space with several floors, much more comfortable. We love their dishes and their atmosphere, so we don't hesitate to return. The owner is a charm, and she runs the whole place alone with a lot of sympathy. An advice; When choosing the ingredients, those who do not know okura better not ask for it, because it has a very special flavor that is not for all palates. In addition to their delicious okonomiyaki, we also ordered gyozas. Note that the portions are quite generous. Absolutely recommendable!

Absolutely amazing - Edit
I would give it 5 stars if I could, even though they also serve meat. The owner is really cute, she manages to serve a whole restaurant by herself. There are plenty of vegan options, I tried the vegan okonomiyaki which was absolutely amazing. Be prepared to wait a bit to order and for your food to be prepared, but it is totally worth it. Please go visit this cute and delicious restaurant!

Awesome place, inspiring owner - Edit
Very good and filling food. Super cheap drinks for 200¥ each. Owner Shiho runs this place all by herself so drinks are self service as well as cleaning after yourself, but it gives the place a homy feeling. Great atmosphere.

Wonderful atmosphere, great vegan food, amazing owner - Edit
I love this place. The atmosphere is quirky and fantastic, and the owner/chef/everythingreally Shiho is simply amazing. Vegan okonomiyaki with many different vegetable toppings, including vegan cheese. Gluten-free as well. There are also vegetarian noodles and vegan gyoza. Also, vegan japanese mayonaise for the okonomiyaki. Delicious!
Read moreNote that it seems like it was recently relocated to a much bigger space. Had no problems getting somewhere to sit at 6:15 pm on a Thursday. Enough seating on multiple floors to accommodate groups.

Fully vegan, delicious okonomiyaki - Edit
Great place, great atmosphere delicious food, self-service drinks.
Read moreThe lady running this place is a delight. We knew there would be a queue, if we had had access to internet we would have gone out shopping after taking a number but we couldn't check the queue position without phone data, it was still well worth the wait.
Pros: Delicious , Cosy, Fun
Cons: Long queue

Great, non-traditional okononiyaki - Edit
Vegan okonomiyaki with a variety of non-traditional topping options. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was very fun. The restaurant is very small and would not work for a group larger than four people (even four would be a tight fit).
