One of my top 3 vegan ramen in Osaka

The broth and topping make these ramen really stand out. The location is super convenient when visiting Osaka Castle and it's a cozy place to sit with 3-4 people.

Amazing ramen for both vegetarian and non vegetarian

I loved this ramen. My girlfriend who is not vegetarian loved their non-veg one too.

Honestly the best ramen I had in Japan. I’ve been to a couple and they were all good but this is the one we both talk about. I’d give it 5 stars if I could but because it isn’t pure vegetarian, it isn’t allowed.

Service was quick, portions are good, easy for foreigners.

Pros: English menu, Pay on your own and order on your own , Good portion and flavor

[UPDATE] Tasty vegan options (if available)

The vegan items can sometimes be sold out, hopefully this is then communicated outside… but when it is available, it is delicious, with big serving sizes for a great price!!
[OLD REVIEW] They had the vegan menu showing on the posters outside, so we decided to wait for 20 minutes in line. When we got seated and tried to order by tablet, it said „coming soon“ for all the vegan items and the staff confirmed that they don‘t have them (at the moment?).

Updated from previous review on 2024-06-08

Pros: Vegan Ramen, Vegan Gyoza

Cons: Sometimes no vegan options

I am the owner of KIou.

This time, you had to wait for 20 minutes, but the vegan ramen was sold out. I sincerely apologize.

On that day, there were more orders for vegan ramen than expected, and it was sold out.

We also had to put up a "sold out today" sign in the store, but we couldn't do it. I'm so sorry.

I will make sure that this kind of thing does not happen in the future. We apologize for any inconvenience caused this time.

@Osato-sama, I updated my review. The vegan ramen were great! I just saw it says you‘re vegan yourself on your profile. Why not make your restaurant fully vegan and stop selling dead animal bodies? I think many many vegans from Japan and all over the world would appreciate a fully vegan ramen place at your great location!!!

Decent ramen

Not the tastiest bowl of ramen I've had in japan but not the worst either. They give 2 options (miso or spicy miso) and vegan gyoza. The portion size of the ramen was massive and kept me full all day!

Pros: Good taste, Good portion size

Top vegan ramen in all of Japan.

Of all of the places we tried (and there were many), this was one of the best vegan ramen and gyoza spots. We considered going back it was so good. Vegan options are clearly marked on the digital menu, super easy to order.

Sehr leckere Ramen

Auswahl zwischen normalen und scharfen Ramen.
Die normalen Ramen schmecken sehr lecker und es ist sehr viel 😇
In den Ramen gibt es einen Fleischersatz der, wie ich finde, total nach Bauchspeck schmeckt.
Toller Laden!
Bestellen tut man über ein Tablet, also auch gut für schüchterne Personen 🙏🏻

Pros: Große Portion, Sehr lecker

Good ramen and gyoza

Good food! They have two options of vegan ramen (regular and spicy) and one option of vegan gyoza. We got the regular ramen and the gyoza. The ramen has a thick broth (to mimic the classic tonkotsu broth), with a tasty sesame flavor; it was a bit richer than your regular ramen, but still tasty. The noodles are perfectly cooked. The gyoza was delicious, definitely worth ordering. The space is small, so we had to wait to be seated, but it was very quick. You order through the iPad on your table, and they have an English menu available. Some of the text is only in Japanese though, but we used Google Translate and it solved it.

Pros: Vegan gyoza, Vegan ramen

Cons: Small, may need to wait to be seated

Great find

So happy to have found this place. You know it’s a good spot when there’s a good balance of locals and foreigners. Just around the corner from Osaka Castle and just outside the station. Big portion but finished it all as was so delicious.

The best Ramen in Osaka!

There is no other Ramen I experienced like this so far. They have the best Vegan Ramen in town. They cool them seperate and I don‘t know how they get it so good. It‘s thick, tasty and just everything about it just makes it the best Ramen you will get.

Pros: Taste, Size, Ambient

Vegan miso ramen

Ramen place with two vegan ramen options and vegan gyoza (so good, you have to try them!). The ramen was creamy and nicely seasoned. The place itself is bustling, we sat at the bar, directly in front of the staff preparing the food. Order is taken by tablet.

Limited option but delicious!

Limited but tasty fully vegan options. One ramen can be ordered standard or 3 levels of spicy. Vegan vegetable gyozas. Plus everything on the menu has dietary markings (except for nuts but I survived the ramen with a peanut allergy).

Pros: Taste, Easy to order , Dietary markings on everything

Cons: Only one main option

Fantastic vegan ramen and gyoza!

Really enjoyed the ramen here, one of the best I've had in Japan. The spices were amazing, and worth it for sure! Will be back for more!

Best ramen in Osaka!!!!

So absolutely thrilled that this place has started a vegan menu. I’ve had it twice just this week! Full flavor, chashu style vegan meat, ability to choose spicyness and Takeout available right outside Osaka Castle Park. This place is a gem and I hope they will continue to offer vegan ramen for a long time!

Pros: Great strong flavor , Takeout available , More than 1 vegan option

Cons: Serves meat
