Cravings satisfied

Sometimes being vegan in Japan can feel like you miss out a little on the atmosphere of busy local spots, but as a popular non-vegan chain with very solid vegan options, this is a really nice place to go when you want to be around people in that comforting, pleasantly anonymous kind of way. I needed a huge bowl of creamy tonkotsu ramen on a cold night and to not feel lonely in a quiet restaurant, and Kiou delivered. They did my gyoza in the microwave and threw over some sauce for me in a packet and I can't complain. Cheap and cheerful, rich and salty and probably bad for you, all the good stuff. The branch at Shin-Osaka station is also a godsend.

Tasty Vegan Ramen

Easy ordering, vegan is clear labelled in English. I had the normal Vegan Miso Ramen, it’s not super special but cheap and tasty.

Amazing ramen in an authentic spot

The spicy miso charsiu ramen was just incredible. The gyozas were also the best I’ve ever had. We had to queue outside for a little while to get in but it was absolutely worth it.

Nice vegan ramen

You order on a tablet and can pay at a machine when you leave, which is convenient. They have Miso Ramen, Spicy Miso Ramen and Vegetable Gyoza inside an own section on the tabled with only vegan food.
The service is quick, the food is nice and the staff is friendly.

Menu terminal can be set to English and makes it clear what is vegan. Fake meat tasted great!

Slammin' Vegan Ramen

Kyushu Ramen Kiou here at Morinomiya really stands out for having one of the best vegan friendly ramen in town.

My friend was raving about their plant-based noods so I knew I had to come and try. Situated just right outside the JR station, this small shop offers seating for about 6 at the counter along with three small tables that can comfortably fit up to 4 people.

Everything is ordered via touchscreen and you can easily set it to English for your convenience. My friends and I all chose to order their vegan miso ramen which incorporates juicy seitan for their "meat" and loaded with tons of veggie flavor. I ordered mine at the highest spice level and was floored with how good my noodles were. Definitely a must get if you are looking for a vegetarian option.

We loved it so much that we came back another night and managed to order their veggie gyoza which were also vegan.

Note: not all of their locations serve the vegan option so find one that does and you will be impressed.

Pros: Offering a vegan ramen that's fantastic

Very good, highly recommended

Had the spicy miso ramen on the lowest spice level, also added the mock meat, and gyosa. Everything was very well, and the ramen soup thick and creamy. Tried to come back a second time, also in the late evening after 9-10pm, but this time both vegan ramen options were sold out.

5 stars please!

Hands down the best vegan ramen I tried in Japan. I had the vegan miso charsiu ramen and it was mindblowing. It was spicy, with bold taste and the best thing was the charred vegan meat. A must try for each ramen lover! They offer also a "regular" vegan miso ramen and vegan gyozas but I did not try it since the ramen was really satisfying. Also the staff was very helpful. This place deserves more than 4 stars easily.

Very tasty

Les ramen vegan sont excellentes, crémeuses et la portion est généreuse ! Rien à redire 👌 mon mari (non vegan) a aussi trouvé son plat délicieux.
Il y a même un petit stand de mochi à l'entrée du métro juste à côté pour prendre un dessert !

Pros: Proche du 🏰, Rapide

Leckere vegane Ranen und Gyoza

Es gibt zwei vegane Ramen mit der Möglichkeit die vegane Beilage "Chashu" zu verdoppeln. Nudeln sind lecker, der Ramen selbst ist bodenständig und unaufgeregt mit wenigen Einlagen, dafür geschmacklich sehr gut und schön cremig.
Die Gyozas sind super lecker, knusprig und rundum empfehlenswert.
Es gibt generell nicht viel Auswahl, daher fand ich die Anzahl veganer Optionen ausreichend.

Pros: Gyoza, Schnelle Zubereitung, Nettes Personal

Vegan Ramen

The vegan ramen spicy option wasn't available, so I tried the other ramen. If you like me, you don't like taste or texture of meat, don't on't try the vegan ramen here. The broth had a very strong pork taste, and I couldn't eat my dish. Husband was happy with his meat ramen. Staff friendly and speaksome English.

Tasty food

The food was great! Huge portions. I tried miso vegan ramen and vegetable dumplings. Dumplings were perfect, miso ramen was not spicy at all, but still tasty.
Definitely recommend this place for vegans.
You can also bring your non-vegan friend as well, cause they serve meat ramen.

Vegan Ramen

Small place. Not good for large groups.

Amazing amazing amazing!! When you sit down you’ll see a screen.

1. click on the button that says English on the bottom. Then search for the vegan Ramen.
2. Like quantity and submit. The order will go to the kitchen
3. When you’re finished eating they’ll give you a receipt scan it at the pay station. Remember to select English before. They take cash, credit card, and Tap.

Pros: Vegan ramen, Saki, Beer
