Amazing food in a quaint little spot tucked into an alley. Was our favorite food experience in Osaka. Wish we could've gone back a second time during our stay.
Unfortunately, we had a very disappointing experience here and I would not recommend this restaurant.
We had booked for five people, but unfortunately my husband became unwell, so only four of us were able to attend. When we arrived, the owner met us at the door and immediately seemed unhappy that there were four of us rather than five. We were told that we would lose the deposit for the fifth person because all five people had not attended. I offered to purchase a meal to take away for my husband instead, but this was refused.
We were also told that every person had to order both food and a drink. We were charged ¥500 per person for plain tap water — not bottled or sparkling water — which seemed excessive, particularly as complimentary water is common in restaurants in Japan.
The restaurant was also extremely inflexible with ordering. We asked for some sauces to be served on the side and were told this was not possible. One of my daughters is vegetarian, so I asked whether she could simply have plain noodles. Again, we were told this was impossible, and we were charged the full price of the noodle dish with pork sauce despite her only having plain noodles.
The portions were also surprisingly small. One small plate of noodles arrived that was intended to serve two people.
Unfortunately, the service throughout felt brisk, unfriendly and, at times, quite rude. The restaurant itself was also difficult to find, located down a dark and rather dingy alley, and we found the atmosphere quite dour.
Overall, the combination of the rigid policies, additional charges, very small portions and unfriendly service made this an unpleasant dining experience. I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere.
This restaurant is amazing, everything gluten free (the owner is coeliac), had so many options to choose from. We had mushrooms, pork sausage, omelette, okonomiyaki and everything was delicious. The restaurant is a little hard to find, but worth exploring for, it has 6 seats and is reservation only. It also has a vegan gluten free sister restaurant. A must visit,
From the moment we booked it we knew it would be amazing. Even amazing seems like an understatement.
The staff were so friendly & welcoming. They even let us in a little early too which was great. The menu was very easy to understand & they had great drinks options too.
I am a celiac vegetarian so can be hard for me to find great places but it was a 10/10 experience & we would 100% go back.
Thank you again & we couldn’t recommend here enough. It has been the best place we’ve eaten in so far.
The food was delicious. However, the interior was cramped, and the seats were narrow, which made it difficult for me as someone who uses a cane. It took time to prepare to sit down, and it was hard to crouch, so I wanted to organize things before sitting, but I was immediately addressed for every little movement (like being told to place my belongings below and not to bring in drinks). I had brought the empty drink container with me because there was nowhere to dispose of it, and I intended to put it in a bag to avoid spilling the melted ice, so I just placed it briefly on the table. However, I was quickly addressed about that too, and although my movements were slow, I felt anxious, making it hard for my body to move properly, and I was a bit confused about not being able to sit down right away. I thought maybe it was my fault for going there when my body was not in good shape. However, I have a difficult-to-understand condition, which is why I carry a help mark and use a cane, so I thought it would have been easier if I could have been allowed to prepare a bit more slowly.
The soy meat fried chicken and the vegan okonomiyaki were both delicious! Especially the okonomiyaki, which was fluffy, had a great texture, and I highly recommend it✨ My vegetarian friend was really happy, and I truly felt it was worth coming here!
Amazing gluten-free course meal, the owner cooks and waits the tables, food is delicious, she is super nice and I could have an authentic Japanese experience but safely for me as a celiac!
Food was absolutely amazing! Highly encourage reserving a table, it’s a small place and it just helps staff with numbers. Service was great and the atmosphere was great
