They had the best karaage that I've ever had in North America so far. It is so juicy, tender & well-seasoned, always comes in fresh. They not just put the starch outside, but also keep the chicken skin & fried them well, which is really nice!

I would also recommend their matcha latte & h?jicha latte. They taste great as well!

The only downside for their meals is it comes with a small portion, only 2-3 pieces of chicken is a bit not enough. & the curry itself tastes a bit normal. I also ordered the karaage sandwich version but their bread is a bit dry. But at the end, definitely a big fan of the karaage flavor.

Cute little hidden next an old building & its underground. They have good music sometimes a bit loud but someone went to adjust the sound. Food was delicious. I really recommend the Tamago Sando egg sandwich. The sauce inside with the eggs were a great combination. Keep napkins near, it's a bit messy.

Ordered boiled egg sandwich, & had a matcha latte for the first time here. The sandwich was excellent, not over seasoned or soggy-nice & simple. The matcha was rich but not too heavy. The barista was very concentrated & careful while making it. The space was thoughtfully designed & clean without feeling sterile. Great experience overall.

Osmo is a perfect vibey place to chill & study on a rainy day….. their matcha is the BEST in town & I love that it isn't clumpy & oversweet like other places in the city that serve matcha. Also everyone that works here is a beautiful angel…. I come here a lot & have never gleaned a bad vibe. Just perfection! They will make ur day😁💓💓💓

Really packed coffee place. But their coffee is really good. I took the tamago sandwich which was supposedly their best seller. It was ok. The portion was good, I felt full after, but the flavour was a bit missing. Maybe I just got high expectations from it. Still really good tho! I think their curry are more worth it.

I enjoy the food a lot , I think I came 3-4 times now & every time it is ALWAYS long. Like there was never a time I did not wait a minimum of 25minutes & this is at ANY HOUR whether it's busy OR not. I think the staff should inform the clients that their order will take a long time. If You're looking for a quick fix/grab& go... forget it.BUT if you want a yummy quick flavouful sandwich definitely come :) service wise ... meh ... not impressed .
