Serves meat, vegan options available. Japanese curry house chain. Ask for the separate vegetarian menu which offers a number of vegetable and vegan curries, with/ spinach, mushroom, mix veg, or eggplant. These may be customized with extra ingredients. Curry is served with a portion of rice. Indicate spice level and portion size at the time of placing order. Must order from this menu for your curry to be vegan. On the regular menu, the vegetable curry contains meat, but you'll find a vegan salad or two. Note that not all branches provide vegan curry options, suggested to check ahead.

A nice and simple meal for cheap

I’ve been getting curry often as it’s close to my hotel and it’s always been pretty tasty. I get the clearly labeled vegan curry and add eggplant and spinach to it

When in doubt, find a coco Ichibanya!

Tired and hungry walking all day on your visit to japan? Don't want to wait in long lines at most of the vegan places? This Japanese curry chain will never let you down and can be found all across the country! And you will never be disappointed with Japanese curry! This location happens to be my favorite location and they are open late!

The food is delicious. Vegans can have salad and add corn. Make sure to add the eggplant!! For an extra kick, make it spicy level 3, and you will be in for a sweat! Itadakimas!

Pros: Taste , Eggplant , Easy to order

Good curry

Vegetable curry is good if you take a higher default spiciness. I found the regular too mild but with added roasted garlic chili oil it was perfect !

Cheap n cheerful

Ordering mechanism is fun but a little confusing if you're looking for the vegan option - ask a staff member to help you. I ordered a vegetarian vegetable curry with added aubergine and a naan bread (which was the stand out) You're able to choose your spice level. A decent curry for the price and super quick - also open late which is useful if you've had a day of sightseeing. Right by the station too :)

Pros: Decent food , Cheap , Good location

Cons: Hard to find vegan options , Limited vegan options

They have vegetarian curry, you can decide what you would like to add - vegetables, eggplant, mushroom, etc.. and you can choose spicy level.

Me encantó

Llevaba tiempo queriendo venir a Japón y ahora que empiezo mi luna de miel era la ocasión idónea. Cuando se acercaba la fecha miraba restaurantes para vegetarianos y encontré éste. Tenía muchísimas ganas de venir y cuando se retrasó mi vuelo pensé que ya no cenábamos. Sorpresa la nuestra de que estaba abierto. Al entrar vimos que era un lugar acogedor y encima tenían pantallas en inglés para pedir, eso facilitó muchísimo todo. La comida y bebida llegó rapidísimo. Mi marido se pidió el curry con nato y yo el curry con espinacas. Estaba realmente bueno y tengo ganas de volver. Habían más opciones vegetarianas/veganas y ojalá tuvieran para el ramen o udon porque realmente lo probaríamos todo, además de que todo era muy barato. Muchísimas gracias por vuestra atención y espero que disfrutéis el sitio tanto como nosotros.

Pros: Precio-Calidad, Sabor, Servicio rápido y educado

Not that Good

I wasn’t a huge fan of the curry. I got the vegetable curry with a slight spice level added to it. It was moderately filling and the prices were good but the food was just alright to me and honestly made me feel slightly nauseous afterwards. I do agree with previous reviewers that finding the vegan option was a bit difficult but a waiter showed kindly showed where on the menu it is. The vegan one clearly states “vegetable broth” next to the available options so don’t pick the veggie curry thinking it’s vegan/vegetarian (it’s not). It’s a fine place to go if you’re starving but I wish I would have chosen another place instead

Pros: Good prices, Nice staff

Cons: Taste was okay

They will lie to you

Do NOT go there if you are vegan. Their vegetable curry clearly contains meat. I clearly asked in Japanese if they had any vegan options with no meat nor dairy, and they recommended me the vegetable curry. Found bits of pork inside, and confronted he waiter who said that they were chopped onions. Checked on their website, and it clearly says their vegetable curry has pork (and chicken, and beef) in the sauce.

I’m afraid you ordered the wrong thing. You have to ask for the vegetarian curry— that’s the sauce without meat. It’s listed in a separate section of the menu.

I see, that is what some other comments mentionned. I couldn't find a separate section and asked the waiters instead. I trusted that they would recommend me the right thing. Thank you for your comment!

I love it so much!

Their mushroom curry and vegetable curry were absolutely amazing! I ordered spicy level 4 which is the perfect fit for me. Easy ordering via the tablet and lots of add-on options. Price is very reasonable too.

Cheap nice food

The ordering process was easy with the tablet at the table. I was able to find a PDF online listing all allergens. The CoColCHI curry is vegan, so you just have to make sure to pick vegan toppings.

Pros: Easy ordering w. English descriptions, Lots of options for toppings

Decent option

We were looking for a restaurant that still has late opening hours so we chose this place. The menu has a few vegan options. I had the vegetable curry. It was good but nothing too special.
You can order through a tablet and choose the portion sizes yourself.

Easy to order from iPad

There are lots of Coco Curry locations and this was my first experience. After striking out at two other places looking for veggie food (one closed, one with an hour wait), this was a welcome relief.

I was able to use an iPad at our table to review the menu in English and order. I had the vegetable curry soup which clearly stated that it contains no animal ingredients. It was on the special/seasonal menu but it looked like there were other year round options as well. It was warm, nice and spicy, and game with a good size bowl of rice. You can add extra veggies and toppings as well and they have salads, too.

Be specific

They have an anti-allergy curry and a vegan curry. The allergen free curry DOES have animal product in it. We ordered the wrong thing and they willingly exchanged it. Five Stars! (Except happy cow will only let me give them 4)

Tasty curry

It was really good. Over my expectation for this kind of franchise.

Mince soy meat Katsu (Daizu meat Menchi Katsu) is quite good.

I cannot find ingredient information of condiment (sauce and pickles) but I trust they don’t contain any animal base ingredient.

Pros: Quick and tasty, They have photo in the menu, Affordable price !!!

Cons: No information of sauce and pickles ingredient

Tasty curry

Specialized restaurant on curry. There are at least 5 types of curry which have only vegetables, and it is marked as vegan (no animal ingredients on it).
It tastes so good. It is a type of franchise, and is not as “handmade” as you can expect but the flavour is very good.

Pros: Many vegan curry option, Very good price, Kind staff

Cons: Some kind of franchise
