Discrimination should not be supported

As delicious as the ramen may be – I cannot recommend this place. The prices are 2–3 times higher than regular ramen, and frankly, I’m tired of vegans and vegetarians always having to pay extra. But what’s even more concerning: this restaurant openly discriminates and explicitly excludes Japanese customers. There is a sign at the entrance stating this, and several Google reviews confirm that they only welcome foreign customers – likely because they assume they can charge them more. Discrimination of any kind should not be supported. Sorry.

Cons: Discrimates people, Way too expensive, Tourists only

Incredibly kind staff! Amazing vegan ramen!!!

Akari took amazing care of us - she is so sweet and made us feel so welcome in Osaka! Probably the best vegan ramen Ive ever had (granted I never had ramen prior to being vegan but my boyfriend - a non veg- also enjoyed it) I can’t recommend enough! May hit the Kyoto location as well…

Pros: Flavorful & tasty, Great service, 3 vegan options!

Awesome Vegan ramen

Tried Osaka Engine Ramen and loved it! The food was incredibly tasty, the interior had a cool, cozy vibe, and the staff were super friendly. Prices are a bit higher than average, but honestly, totally worth it for the quality. Would happily go again!

Very tasty vegan ramen

We tried zesty vegan ramen and Osaka black vegan ramen. I liked more the back vegan ramen because the zesty vegan was spicy but still delicious.

Updated from previous review on 2025-04-25

Pros: The broth , The tofu in the zesty ramen was so delicious , Nice, young staff

Cons: It was more pricier than other vegan ramens

Nice ramen but what's that sign? :D

The ramen were great, they have a specific Osaka-exclusive flavour.

They also offer ongiri which my friends seemed to enjoy!

There is a sign at the entrance saying they are in the pre-opening state which is a bit strange (addresses only Japanese customers)

Best Vegan ramen I've ever had.

I guess all their reviews are on Google maps. My wife knew of this place on her Instagram - for a vegan, this is one of the best places we have been after 10 days in Japan.

Unreal.

If you ever eat a better vegan ramen than this, I simply don't believe you haha.

Other amazing mentions:
- the atmosphere. Wow! I won't spoil it, enjoy the surprise. It's stunning.
- the staff. Service was exceptional. You received an apron (good for sloppy eaters like me...) and they speak English and chat with you while you are waiting - this really added to the experience for us. Warm, friendly and accommodating with lots of time for you
- freebie! We were given some of their local sake to try (never seen such big bottles!!!).
- free origami lesson!

Overall - superb for a vegan. This place will do incredibly well.

HappyCow won't enable five star ratings, but this definitely gets that. Amazing. To be clear - the vegan options are fully vegan.

Pros: Atmosphere, Ramen, Service

Cons: Nothing

Incredible ramen

Incredible ramen and really friendly staff - Happy Cow nailed it again!!
Clear vegan options and they ask about allergies, which is so reassuring
The lady who served us was so friendly and even gave us some sake to taste
Really chilled atmosphere modern but also feels really authentic
The ramen was huge and stunning - I had the most recommended - zesty with tofu - but swapped out lard for rice oil
Totally delicious but warning it packs a punch 🥵
Would come again, and great to find somewhere which really takes allergies seriously and has a menu which is very clear and has meat too so my partner is happy
Also they do gluten free beer if you are gluten free

Best Ramen Hands Down

Only two vegan options but they do not disappoint! Each one has their own flavor blast and will keep you wanting more. Make sure to not to skip out on the wood ear mushrooms and the crispy eggplant!
