Gluten-Free&Vegan OKONOMIYAKI Vim

Osaka · Seafood · Japanese · €⁠€

The venue's name and official menu highlight gluten-free okonomiyaki and drinks. Multiple community reviews on FindMeGlutenFree and AutoReserve report a dedicated gluten-free kitchen, dedicated fryer, and knowledgeable staff, with coeliac diners describing safe experiences. However, the official menu also lists dishes containing wheat, such as stir-fried noodles, without cross-contact warnings, and the venue is not independently accredited. The kitchen appears to have a high-care setup, but shared preparation space is possible; confirm with staff.

OKO - Fun Okonomiyaki Bar

Osaka · Vegan · Vegetarian · €

Every okonomiyaki served at this venue is wheat-free, made with okara powder, and cooked on a separate grill using dedicated utensils. The owner, who operates solo, is widely reported to have excellent knowledge of coeliac needs, and signs about cross-contamination precautions are posted throughout the space. The kitchen is not 100% dedicated, however, because some items, standard okonomiyaki for non-GF diners, contain wheat. Cross-contact risk, though well-managed, is therefore not zero. One symptomatic coeliac reviewer reported a bad reaction, which reinforces the need for caution. The venue is classed as strongly trusted due to dedicated equipment, trained staff, and a clearly marked menu where GF items are flagged, but it operates with a shared kitchen.

The kitchen is entirely gluten-free, making it a strongly trusted choice for coeliac diners.

OKO takoyaki vegan vegetarian glutenfree

Osaka · Vegan · Vegetarian · €

The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility. Community reports consistently mention a dedicated gluten-free fryer, a separate grill for gluten-free items, and clearly marked gluten-free items on the menu. The owner is described as very knowledgeable about gluten and cross-contamination. One sauce contains gluten and is marked. A small number of mild reactions have been reported, so those with coeliac disease should confirm practices directly with staff.

OSAKA ENGINE RAMEN

Chuo Ward · Ramen · Japanese · €⁠€

Osaka Engine Ramen offers gluten-free ramen upon request, with a dedicated gluten-free fryer and separate kitchen space reported by multiple diners. Staff are knowledgeable and attentive, and the venue uses color-coded bowls and stickers to mark gluten-free orders. However, the kitchen is not 100% dedicated gluten-free, and the base broth contains wheat, so cross-contamination is possible. Several coeliac diners report no reactions, but the venue's own disclaimer notes it is not a dedicated gluten-free facility. Call ahead to confirm current practices.

Paprika shokudo Vegan

Nishi Ward · Vegan · Grill · €⁠€

The restaurant is a vegan establishment that markets itself as 100% gluten-free on its Japanese listing (Hot Pepper Gourmet). However, not all items are gluten-free: the soy meat is clearly marked as containing gluten. Multiple diners report a dedicated gluten-free fryer. One diner was turned away and told there were no safe gluten-free options, while others report helpful staff. Because of these contradictory reports, the kitchen is best described as a shared kitchen with some dedicated equipment but not an entirely safe environment for coeliac diners without confirming directly.

koisus vegan curry＆tempura

Kita Ward · Vegan · Vegetarian · €⁠€

The menu offers a gluten-free curry option that is labelled as such. However, the kitchen uses a shared fryer and is not a dedicated gluten-free facility.
