Be specific - Edit
They have an anti-allergy curry and a vegan curry. The allergen free curry DOES have animal product in it. We ordered the wrong thing and they willingly exchanged it. Five Stars! (Except happy cow will only let me give them 4)

Tasty curry - Edit
It was really good. Over my expectation for this kind of franchise.
Read moreMince soy meat Katsu (Daizu meat Menchi Katsu) is quite good.
I cannot find ingredient information of condiment (sauce and pickles) but I trust they don’t contain any animal base ingredient.
Pros: Quick and tasty, They have photo in the menu, Affordable price !!!
Cons: No information of sauce and pickles ingredient

Tasty curry - Edit
Specialized restaurant on curry. There are at least 5 types of curry which have only vegetables, and it is marked as vegan (no animal ingredients on it).
Read moreIt tastes so good. It is a type of franchise, and is not as “handmade” as you can expect but the flavour is very good.
Pros: Many vegan curry option, Very good price, Kind staff
Cons: Some kind of franchise

Delicious and convenient! - Edit
Vegetarian menu is available at this specific branch - the menu is also in English.
Read moreI ordered the Vegetarian Curry with Mushroom and okra (served separately). It was delicious! I enjoyed the complimentary pickled radish, which adds a refreshing touch to the curry.
The staff were friendly, polite and were able to communicate in English. This is also one of the more spacious Coco Ichibanya I have visited, so it is OK for groups of 4 people.
I noticed some people have issues with the vegetarian menu being “unavailable”. I think it is worth to share that not all Coco Ichibanya has the vegetarian menu. I have made this mistake in Nagoya before - I found some specks of meat after finishing most of my meal.
In Akiba there are two branches. If you search on Google Maps, the one in “Kanda” near Yodobashi Camera is the one with vegetarian option. Alternatively, you can also search on their website and filter for stores with vegetarian menu. Once you find the closest store, you can click on the link which opens the map coordinates and verifies you are headed towards the right one. Stores with vegetarian menu also has a English decal on their shop front - so you can also keep an eye out for that.
Pros: Good customer service, English friendly, Customisable toppings, rice servings, and spice le

No Vegetarian Options - Edit
Went around dinner time on a Friday, was told that there was no vegetarian menu, and that all the menu contained meat. Quite strange because I have been to other CoCoIchi’s in other countries and Japan and was able to eat, so not sure if it was just this particular location/day.

The Best Curry - Edit
My non-vegan husband and I stopped in here for lunch and both loved the curries we ordered. There is a separate menu for the vegan curries. They serve Japanese curry, which is different than the Indian curries you might expect. The curry sauce is kind of gravy-like and sweeter.

Vegan curry! - Edit
They advertise their "vegetarian" menu infront of the shop already. It clearly states on the veg menu that the curry contains "no animal derived products" in it. There's quite a few different topping options listed.
Read moreBe advised that the vegan curry does NOT come in a mild version, since the mild version contains honey (the waiter was nice enough to explain that). The mildest you can have it is "regular" spice level. I'm pretty weak when it comes to spices, and the regular was spicy for me, although nothing too bad. So, even if you ordered the "mild", they'll serve you regular level spice since you ordered from the vegan menu.
We came here twice because we both loved the curry the first time! I really recommend the eggplant and tomato one, the eggplant is so nice and juicy and the tomato adds more umami flavor to the already packed-with-flavor curry.
The portions are pretty big, so if you're kind of small, get the smallest amount of rice (200g), and it's going to be big enough. The amount of curry you get also increases/decreases with the amount of rice you order.
I would give CoCo a 5 star if happycow would let me!

Great Japanese Curry in a Hurry - Edit
It was very straight forward ordering. They had a separate veg menu & they tasted great! Well, I thought so... partner wasn't as impressed. But for $20aud for 2 large meals & 2 drinks, you can't go wrong 😌
