Delicious Indian style curry

Very hard to find!! Really hidden away.

The vegan curry was so nice. Opted for vegetables option as I wasn’t sure if the fried foods were sharing the same oil as the meat - I assume they did but I didn’t ask as I like the vegetables anyway.

Tasted really good and authentic to an Indian style curry rather than Japanese one.

Japanese curry with a vegan cutlet, rice and numerous veggies hits the spot! Large portion, good spice level, friendly service and affordable. Chocolate tofu is like a dreamy truffle!

Great place to eat, friendly staff

The food was delicious, the portion was so big I could only eat half of it.
The best thing for me though was their vegan coconut desert.
I could go there everyday for that desert.

Pros: The food tasting , The desert , The friendly atmosphere

Katsu Curry with colorful veggies

You can never go wrong with Katsu Curry and this one had some really colorful veggies on the side.

It was super tasty and a great start to my Fukuoka trip.

Spicy curry, convenient location

The food here was pretty tasty. I ordered my curry a bit too spicy unfortunately. Lots of veggies but they are fried so it was a bit heavier meal than I anticipated. Overall great service and quick. The chocolate dessert is really good!

Very good vegan Katsu curry

Love their vegan Katsu curry. The sauce is really balanced, with a good amount of heat. They also have vegan potato salad that goes great with curry meal.

Good curry!

The curry was really nice with tofu and veggies. The seating style is very Japanese. Cute place and nice curry! The vegan curry is clearly labeled on the menu and the workers were very kind.

tiny place, big taste

Had the spiced tonkatsu curry which was more earthy flavoured than your usual Japanese curry. The spice builds over time but it’s very manageable. Hidden in the back right of the station after exiting the subway line is this small restaurant. Only seats about 10 people. English menu provided, our meal was ready within about 5 minutes and the service was top notch.

Pros: Different curry flavour, Service, Reviews made it easier to find

Cons: Slightly hard to find

Pros: Amazing vegan meal set, Very attentive servers, Vegan Tonkatsu!

Very quick and tasty food!

The restaurant is a little difficult to find as it is tiny and tucked away in the corner, but definitely worth it.

They have an English menu with clearly labelled vegan (and halal) options, and the staff was able to confirm what was vegan. I ordered the cheapest option (a vegetable curry for 900 yen) and it arrived within 2 minutes! It was tasty and filling, though I personally would have liked a bit more spice.

I would definitely recommend Chabuya for a quick and healthy vegan option.

Excellent ‘don’katsu

Tiny place, good atmosphere, great food. You can choose the spiciness level - I got middle spicy and it made me sweat a bit. They also have craft beer - tried the ipa and it was very good.

Very good curry, spicy level asked ☺️

Very good curry. You can specify the level of spice you want, it is asked while ordering.
The vegan chocos were also very good. Such a long time without eating chocolat 🍫 was a treat!

Pros: Vegan options, Vegan choco very good

Definitely Chabuya

I ate at two restaurants in Kagoshima, and one in Tenjin. The vegan cutlet curry here is always the best.

Really good vegan curry

This is not a vegan shop, but they have a few explicitly vegan items (and even an English menu). The real star is the vegan spice katsu curry, with the perfect level of spice, nice combo of fresh veg, good portion of rice, and excellent breaded soy meat katsu. It's a tiny place but it's not super popular, so you probably won't have to wait. The people running it are very friendly.

Definitely stop by if you're craving some curry.

Awesome curry, friendly staff

The curry here is really good. Very fresh with several pickles. The vegan soy-based 'cuts' completed the feast. Also a nice selection of craft beers. Staff is very friendly and patient to help out.
The venue is small - very Japanese, cosy atmosphere.
Definitely recommend this place!

It can be a little hard to find. Most restaurants in the building are in the basement. But Chabuya is on 2F.

Pros: Very good curry, Craft beer

Great and unique vegan curry

A small pop-up in a mall with only one vegan curry option - but one of the best we had so far in Japan and really unique spices. Fair prices (around 1.500 yen including soy steak, around 1.000 yen w/o). Extremely friendly staff though bit limited English. But no problem at all, just say "vegan curry" and then you can choose from 2 pictures whether you want it with the steak (strongly recommended!!) or without.
They also have so craft beer and local alcohol, but we did not try it as we were there for lunch.
Definetely worth a visit when you are around and can spare some minutes (very fast preparation).

Pros: Uniquely spiced curry, Fair prices

Cons: No english menu

Vegan japanese style curry

It was really tasty, especially the soy cutlet, but it was also quite oily cuz it was just heated up and not freshly made. Definitely an Option though! From what I saw on the menu they had 4 vegan options that day. Pretty neat!

Vegan options

They have 2 vegan options - one is only veggies and the other one has deep fried soy meat. Yummy but the curry is quite spicy for my own taste, which I can’t handle spicy food.
