Good

Good ramen but soup was a little bit too thick for us. The vegan gyōzas were so delicious.

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

lives up to the hype

had to queue for about 10 mins to get in and we went at 9pm, but so worth it.

Pros: delicious creamy ramen, very identifiable vegan options, amazing meat alternative

Cons: long-ish queue

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

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
