Make sure you order the vegetarian curry

if you order the vegetable curry, they use the base curry with meat and add vegetables! go for the plain vegetarian curry then go and add whatever toppings you want here

Pros: good price, good base portion size (can increase/decrease), good customisations

Cons: unclear that base curry has meat in, vegetarian curry takes a while to prepare

Good cheap curry

It’s a good option to have. The curry is actually very good and you can customize it to add which vegetables you want. Also very cheap which is nice.

Good vegan option

You can customize your curry as you want. This time I had the vegetable curry with veggies and a soy meat hamburger as well as pickeled onions on top.

Great!

My boyfriend is vegan and I'm really fussy with meat. We ate here and there were so many options for both of us! He had the Vegan Vegetable Curry and highly recommends! I had the Croquettes (does contain crab) and they were yum too!

Pros: Very clear on which are vegan and which are not, Very customisable with spice levels etc., Cheap and very fast

Cons: Only a small number of vegan options , Small drink menu

Vegetarian/vegan menu

This chain is good to have as an option for vegan food but it's not amazing. They do have a vegetarian/vegan menu which is nice.

The staff wasn't very friendly and the food was very spicy even though we asked for no spice. The food looks really gross too, but it does taste better than it looks.

Pros: Vegan menu

Cons: Rude staff, Food doesn't look tasty, Very spicy when asked for no spice

Rec: Vegan Curry

Vegan Curry is not available at every CoCo Curry branch. Order only from a green menu which says „vegetarian curry“, otherwise it will contain pork. I am not Japanese, but to me this was a really good curry for a low price (like 700 yen).

Amazing curry and great staff

We were greeted and seated promptly upon arrival, and shown how the menu works. We advised we were vegetarian, which was understood. We did not have to ask for separate menus, as they were on the table clearly visible. The curry itself was fantastic. I ordered the eggplant with fresh tomato, and my fiancee ordered the mushroom option. Both arrived promptly, and we were very impressed indeed. I would recommend a visit if you're in the area. Reasonably priced, too.

Gets +1 star for value, location and choices

Decent Vege curry, menu in English and various other languages. By choice I primarily mean you can add salads, toppings and choose the amount of rice and spicyness of your curry. If you don't like Japanese style curry, there is not much else on offer. There is a special allergen-free option as well for gluten-free. Reasonable price beer. Food is not mind blowing but its hard to too harsh given the location and the amount of work done being clear about the menu items. If you are in the area for a while you probably won't be fine dining all the time and this is a good staple. Brown rice would be a nice option but not available.

Vegan options near Namba station

It is a quick fast food place but I am very grateful it exists. I also went to this chain in Kyoto after walking by one and immediately was glad to see another one in Osaka, very conveniently located. There are several vegan curry options. I have just tried the eggplant and vegetable one but it is very tasty. You can also adjust the spiciness level to your preference (2 was good for me, but I like only a moderate level of spice.) Service was quick and easy and the English menu easy to understand as I don't speak any Japanese.

Pros: Several vegan options, Cheap, Quick

Cons: Atmosphere is a chain restaurant

Vegan options available (March 2019)

I've been here in march of 2019. The green/vegan menue was available. The menue contains 7 options of japanese curry. The spice level (sweet, mild or spicy on a scale from 1-10) and the size (up to 500 grams) of the dishes can be chosen. Be very careful with the spice levels, because Level 1-3 might already be too hot for some people. The food is very tasty.

Pros: Not expensive, nice staff

Cons: Little space available

Vegan Japanese curry - awesome!

This branch of this chain has the vegetarian menu. All items are vegan on this menu unless you add cheese or honey etc.

Very tasty and so helpful given how hard it can be to find veg options in Japan. Also my husband is a meat eater and wont eat vegan / veg all the time.

You can make your curry more or less spicy, have leas rice, add extra veg, add more sauce. Can also make more mild but the mild levels in the separate super mild menu contain honey.

You must order from the green vegetarian menu. Vegetable curries on the main menu are NOT vegetarian.
