About

Osmo X Marusan occupies a distinct underground space defined by an industrial aesthetic and a lively, resonant atmosphere. The menu emphasizes Japanese-inspired snacks such as crispy karaage and savory katsu sandos paired with delicate tamago. Guests encounter a selection of matcha and hojicha lattes prepared with deep, earthy tea profiles that balance the bold textures of the food. The venue integrates an expansive outdoor terrace that contrasts with the enclosed, modern interior design. Vibrant musical selections fill the space, contributing to the energetic environment that defines this unique hangout. These features combine to create a singular experience where minimalist architecture meets traditional flavor profiles in an unconventional setting.

We looooove the food here, coffees are great as well. The service however is so low, we've been coming multiple times over the last year & there's always something wrong with the employees, rude, giving sooo much attitude or just not getting the orders right. They're not even trying to be nice, or appear nice, it's really disappointing compared to how good the food is. Will definitely come back to grab food for take out but no more staying & paying tips for this service.

The most delicious egg sandwich I have ever had. The yolk was cooked perfect. The atmosphere is very hipster & unique. Lots of students doing work but the food is just too good! The chicken sandwich was also very very good.

I came here for a quick lunch. The place was very busy. You can tell it's a popular place among students. After ordering at the counter, they give you a number to place on the table & they bring your order to you when ready. The café is nice but quite noisy so it's not the ideal place to sit & study. I ordered the famous tamago sando. It was ok, not great. Apart from the egg, the rest of the sandwich was bland. Just too much bread. On the other hand, the chicken sandwich was very tasty.

I love the Macha latte & enjoyed the sandwich over all. But wouldn't recommend if you want to sit down & relax for a while & chill because the environment is a bit noisy & crowded with the students. I rarely got my space on that day. Food are great though
