Good curry options

I like CoCo Ichibanya because they have a few curry vegan options. They also do takeaway. They have plain rice too which I my son ate with natto.
I think curries are a bit spicy for kids.

Pros: Solid food, They do takeaway, Always a good option if nothing around

Cons: Not really kids friendly as a bit spicy

Sehr lecker aber Vorsicht

Das Curry war mein erstes in Japan also bin ich kein Experte aber es hat mir sehr gut geschmeckt. Aber Vorsicht mit der Schärfe. Ich esse eigentlich gerne scharf aber hier hat mich Level 2 bereits leicht gefordert und ich war froh über das wie immer bereit stehende gratis Wasser.

It was firstly fun to choose the menu from the various katsu curries. For a non-vegan place, it had lots of vegetarian/vegan options to choose from. It tasted so good too.
The staff were very friendly.

Pros: Location, Food, Hospitality

Great for ordering takeout

We ordered takeout using the app to pick up on the way home. There aren't many options for vegans, but what you get is good especially for the price. We especially appreciated that they give more sauce if you order extra rice!

Pros: Ability to order online, Customizable spiciness level, Rice to sauce ratio

Cons: More vegetable-based toppings

Good, but a little confusion

Food is good and inexpensive. But when I asked if they had vegan options, staff said they hadn't any. But on the menu, if you read closely, some options on the vegetarian curry menu say they don't use any animal-derived products. So I guess those ARE vegan.

Pros: Taste, Price

Cons: A little miscommunication

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

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.

Cons: Not vegan, They will lie to you

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!
