Update: No longer has vegan gyoza

The ramen is good as usual but I’m sad to see the one other vegan item get taken of the menu.

Vegan Ramen and gyoza are available

Ramen shop "CHABUTON" is located at 8th floor of Links Umeda.
Mostly they provide ramen with pork soup but we can have thin noodles kneaded with spirulina together with soy sauce-based vegetable soup stock. It is a ramen that is easy to eat because it is full of seasonal vegetables and mushrooms and is accompanied by grated radish. There is also veggie dumplings (5 pieces).

Pros: yummy, reasonable price

Cons: only 2 menus for vegan

Ramen and gyoza

The ramen taste a little different every time I came here - once with yuzu, one time more spices.., always a surprise and always delicious! Don’t miss the gyoza! Sooooo nice and cheap!

Pros: Cheap, Delicious and filling

Tasty Gyoza and Ramen

It's quite difficult to get vegan Gyoza in Japan, so I'm really happy we have chabuton here in Osaka. There's not many options to choose from, but it's very tasty and I like the atmosphere. If you are looking for a quick snack close to Osaka station, I can recommend this place!

Pros: Tasty food, reasonable price

Cons: Not many options

Average ramen

Reasonable priced. Gyoza were better then the ramen. Too much rocket and there was also diced avocado in it which didn’t really work in my opinion. Nice they they have a vegan option but could do with improving.

Pros: Quick dinner option, Reasonable priced

Cons: Lacking in flavour

Pretty good

This was a pretty nice place to eat some vegetable ramen if that’s what you’re in the mood for. Not the best vegetarian ramen I’ve had in Japan, but still very tasty, pretty accessible and close to the station, and not too expensive. The ordering system was easy to use, the vegetable ramen is clearly marked. The staff were nice and friendly. There was no wait and our food arrived quickly. The gyoza were also very tasty, vegetarian gyoza aren’t super common so I was happy to find them. Over all a good experience and a tasty meal.

Worth the hunt to find

Really happy with the quality of the two vegan options and how quickly it arrived- bonus they had drinks too - I have taken a picture of the building that is on the corner opposite the train station - it’s a massive retail shopping building and the 8th floor is where the place is and the whole floor is like a food hall with lots of other eating places - towards the back end

Pros: Two vegan options both excellent , Beer and whisky and other drinks , Very reasonable

Cons: Tricky to find , Vending machine pre order system

Delicious if you can find it.

We found our directions turned us around a bit. There is no "camera building" (not named as such) but is IS the building on the corner, on the 8th floor. Take the lift. English was an option on the machine, and the veg gyoza and vegan ramen were lovely and filling. At first I thought the vegan broth was too light, but it really grew on me. Super large highballs- beware!!!

Pros: Yummy ramen

Cons: Hard to find.

One of the best vegan ramens that I have ever tried in Japan or elsewhere

Excellent combination of vegetables from avocado to tomatoes, lotus and greens. The broth was super tasty. The gyozas are nothing out of the world but taking into consideration that it’s not easy to find vegan ones in Japan, this is also a good plus.

Pros: Only two vegan options but worth it, One of the best ramens in Japan, Cheap and menu is in English

Cons: It’s not a veggie/vegan place

Reopened December 2019!

12/14/19 Update: Finally reopened in a new location in the same building, still on the 8th floor. The easiest way to get there is to enter the new Umeda Links building at the entrance with the Family Mart, take the escalators all the way up to the 8th floor, take the hallway across from the Starbucks (follow signs for dining), and turn right when you reach the open restaurants. The ramen is tasty, but the veg gyoza are my favorite.

Previous Review: This location is currently closed. A sign posted on the wall says it will reopen in the new Links Umeda during fall of 2019.

Pros: Good veg ramen and even better veg gyoza, Order from a vending machine

Cons: Busy building w/ confused customers after remodel, Wait to eat ramen & gyoza or you burn your mouth!

Really handy location!

Great spot for lunch by the station. Vegan options marked on the menu so it’s so easy to grab a quick, delicious lunch!

The vegan ramen and vegan gyoza are the only options but they are really lovely! ☺️

Pros: Speedy service , Easy to find the vegan options

Yummy!

Really cool to be able to order through the vending machine! Clearly labeled vegan ramen and gyoza (although those are your only 2 options). I liked the gyoza more than the ramen, but both were pretty good😄

Pros: Gyozas are delicious, Clear which options are vegan

Cons: Only 2 options , Ramen is not very ramen-y but still good

Good Ramen

Close to Osaka station which is handy. Good place to visit if you're with non-vegans. The ramen was great. You'll order from a vending machine type set up. When we were there the English menu was on top of the machine but if not ask a server.

Pros: Great Food, Good value, Good location

Handy location, good service

I feel stingy giving it 3* but there really only seems to be one main option and one side - though vegan gyoza of any description is a bit of a find. Fairly pricey presumably due to location. Beer expensive, nice but small. Perfectly good and very handy location. Honestly no complaints just not very interesting. Relatively easy to find, I added a photo of the outside.

Edit: Reliable opening hours and location really are a plus if you are in a pinch. Also, if you were for any reason stopping over at Shin Osaka station on the Shinkansen, you could probably dash over here (about 2 stops on the tube) get fed and get back in 1.5-2hrs Might be a worthwhile diversion if you are struggling.

Simple but good

Good meal and enjoyed the gyoza. Even though there is only one button for gyoza they will ask when they take the ticket which ones you want and you can just point to the green vege ones.

Greatest vegetarian Ramen and gyōza!!!

There is one vegetarian (vegan?) ramen on the menu, as well as green gyōza! The bowl is full of vegetables, herbs and tasty flavours. The free noodle refill tops the whole experience. The price is very good too. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is cozy.
I would have given 5 stars if possible.

Pros: Insider tip

Cons: Nothing.

Great

Ramen and Dumplings were enjoyable, good for a quick stop after a shopping day in the mall. Not the coziest place you have to wait for your food a bit longer, but for us it was fine and we don’t regret coming here!

Pros: Tasty food , Friendly staff , Cheap

Cons: Only one ramen and one dumpling option, Staff seemed a bit stressed

Good food!

Easy to find on the 8th floor of the shopping center. I had both the dumplings and ramen. I loved the dumplings, really yummy! The ramen was nice but didn't have that much flavour (even if you add to it using the sauces) and the choice of vegetables in it wasnt to my taste (a bit salady). But overall its easy to order and a good price so a good option for veggies and vegans

Pros: Fantastic dumplings , Cheap, Easy to order

Cons: Ramen was average

🍜🤤

Best vegan Ramen ever, and not only cheap (750¥ incl tax) but you also get a noodle refill for free! (So save some soup, if you want to order the refill;P)

The vegan Gyoza are just as good and cheap (320¥ incl tax for 5 pieces) as the ramen. Definitly order both!

Pros: One Noodle refill for free!! , Not only ramen, but also Gyoza

Great Gyozas

Best vegan gyoza I’ve had in Japan so far. Fan fried on one side. I ordered two plates as the vegan ramen looked average.
