Went to this cafe based on good reviews from social media. The cafe itself is very aesthetically pleasing, but the food was a disappointment. I ordered two katsu sandos. One was cooked okay, but the other undercooked/cold inside & was the size of a brick. I get food poisoning very easily, so the pork being half raw was particularly upsetting.

OSMO X MARUSAN est un lieu unique qui combine à merveille le charme d'un café moderne & l'élégance de la cuisine japonaise. Le menu offre une belle variété de plats & de boissons, toujours préparés avec soin & originalité. Que ce soit pour un matcha latte parfaitement dosé ou un donburi savoureux, la qualité est toujours au rendez-vous. L'espace est lumineux, avec une décoration minimaliste qui invite à la détente. C'est un endroit idéal pour travailler, se retrouver entre amis ou simplement profiter d'un moment tranquille en savourant un bon café. L'attention portée aux détails, tant dans les plats que dans l'atmosphère générale, fait toute la différence. Le service est impeccable, avec un personnel accueillant & attentionné. Les prix sont raisonnables pour l'expérience proposée, & l'endroit se distingue par sa capacité à mêler tradition & modernité. OSMO X MARUSAN est une adresse à découvrir pour tous ceux qui apprécient un café de qualité & une cuisine japonaise revisitée dans un cadre agréable.

The staff are always so nice, & they have an amazing variety of food & drinks. Would recommend their matcha, or any of their hot teas! Also, excellent music every single time I go. I've been introduced to so many new artists whenever I spend time there

The Japanese curry is amazing. Beyond that, it seems more targeted at students otherwise & isn't very comfortable, though prices are a bit high.

This cafe has great potential with a cool concept & very different from other cafes. However, my drinks were just ok, I can get the same from anywhere.

Absolutely warm & upbeat atmosphere. This basement cafe is not afraid to show what its about in terms of decor & music. If its cold & dreary outside, you will feel rejuvenated from the coffee made specially by a barista who knows what he's doing; & feel at home after getting a nice & hot katsu curry. Compliment the DJ in the back, they're making sure your experience goes above & beyond. Highly recommend.
