Great, cheap eats!

Needed a late night eat that had clear veggie options. This was cheap, the serving size was huge. Couldn’t fault it for what it is.

Great curries. Consistent.

As always, fantastic curry.

*** Be careful which curry you order as the vegetable curry is made with a pork base **

Great warm cheap feed

Delicious curry with the right amount of spice. Huge portion but it does give the option for less rice and that will reduce the price. We had the vegetable curry and added eggplant and it was fantastic

Pros: Quick, Cheap, Tasty

Good curry

You can combine their vegetarian curry with a range of vegetables to get a nice vegan meal. Many locations and long opening hours.

Cons: Fast Food locality

i actually never went to coco ichibanya HAHA is the ordering process similar to other fast food chains like mc donald’s, burger king etc.?

No, not quite, but it is easy anyway. I added one more picture with an order description out of the english menu ☺️. It is just important that you point out the vegetarian curry (not the vegetable curry as that has a meat curry base)

Great quick meal

Lovely curry! Can alter heat and spice level, as well as the amount of rice you would like. We ended up eating here a couple of times on our trip, quick and easy. As mentioned, be sure to order the one specifically marked vegetarian and using no animal products.

Great quick bite

I was stressed and running late coming into Osaka from Hakone. I got to check in at my hostel late and hungry and running on anxiety energy, checked HC to see if there was any chance of vegan food that wasn't another conbini onigiri. This place was a godsend. It feels kind of like a Waffle House inside (idk why??) But they do have the vegetarian menu and it's a decent amount of food. I ate around 10:30pm and maybe the anxiety is talking here but it was so good. I had the veg curry with eggplant.

It's definitely not a destination meal imho, but it's a great option, especially if you are jonesing for comfort food.

Pros: Delicious curry, Veg menu, Good hours

Cons: Not particularly special

Tasty curry, good labels

The vegetarian menu was on the table behind the regular menus. Everything was very clearly marked and explained in English. Ordered a vegetarian curry with vegetables and eggplant and asked them to add mushrooms, which was no problem (though it did add a little to the price). It was tastier than I expected, and plenty filling. Would come again.

Nice curry, cheap and quick

As others have said, this is a chain but only some locations (like this one) have a vegetarian menu. There are a number of vegetable curries on offer, all with the same brown curry base which the menu states is free from all animal derivatives. The curry is very tasty, and at around 700 yen it's also cheap. Good if you're getting a bit short on cash from the exclusively vegan restaurants in Japan, which while great and very welcome all seem to be pricey compared to the omni restaurants!

Pros: Veg menu in English, staff may not speak it though

Cons: No tofu or soy meat

Tasty vegan Japanese curry

Japanese curry restaurant which has a vegetarian menu in some branches - including this one.

You can customise your curry - including more/leas curry, rice, add extra vegetables and making your curry more or less spicy. No tofu / soy protein options available unfortunately.

Must order from the vegetarian menu as the vegetable curries on the main menu contain meat!

Pros: Tasty, Quick, Cheap, vegan

Cons: No soy / fried gluten / tofu option
