Nice selection of vegan dishes - Edit
It was tasty food, at mid level prices and I enjoyed it.
Read moreThey had complimentary WiFi.
The person who served was friendly and cheerful.
You order using a touch screen with various language options available.
I had one of the set menus and there was the main dish; a "meaty" sauce over rice with some pickled vege accompaniment, with sides of fried wontons, salad, and a sort of mashed vegetable.
There was also self serve miso soup, condiments and hot/cold water.
Pros: Tasty, Extras like soup and condiments, Hot/cold water dispenser

Love it - Edit
Really great food for a really good price prepared by really nice people. They have a wall with really cool political statements on it. And the best part is, everyone is allowed to add their own one. Few political statements are not so cool. For example people that support genozide, but you can just rewrite them.
Read morePros: Cool wall, Great food, Cheap
Cons: Some visitors supported Israel

Divine vegan food - Edit
The soup noodle, gyoza, chilli oil wonton were great, and reminded us of vegetarian food in Taiwan. They were freshly prepared. What topped it all was the 'douhua' - soft tofu with grass jelly and bean dessert - which made us nostalgic for that in the Taiwanese night market. Highly recommended.

Cheap and good - Edit
Gyoza and the other dumpling were good, not super tasty. The beef cutlet(?) is like plain seitan and you can add sauces, wasn't super good. I should come back and try other things that include it's own sauce.
Read moreUpdate: Went back, got the yakisoba and the chicken nuggets, absolutely delicious.

Nice Taiwan style street food for Vegans - Edit
Amazing Taiwan street‑food flavors. Every dish was excellent. The wonton soup, fried wontons, minced braised vegan meat rice, and fried noodles. Even my daughter, who usually isn’t a fan of veggie dishes, enjoyed them all.

Tra le 3 e le 4 stelle - Edit
È stato buono ma dalle recensioni mi aspettavo qualcosa in più, abbiamo trovato il buffet fornito ma non molto abbondante, molto apprezzati i refill gratuiti di riso e zuppa.

Tasty food, with loads of flavour - Edit
Has recently changed to a buffet self service style where you pay by weight.

Complementary miso and rice. Also lots of home made sauces. The spicy fermented bean paste is a must try!

I love Taiwanese food. Unfortunately in Kyoto there is none.

It’s so much cheaper than many other places on Osaka.
A lunch set for 1000 yen.
The owners are very friendly too.

Awesome Taiwanese Food - Edit
Delicious food at an affordable price in a quirky little restaurant with an ordering machine. Don’t follow the directions from Happy Cow it will lead you down a random alley into a carpark, search it on google maps instead
