Fast, hearty food

Had the vegetarian curry with added vegetables. Clearly designated on the vegetarian section with a thumbnail indicating no animal products in the food. Spice level 2 had a nice bite but without making me sweat, I probably could've gone higher! Overall great 👍

Delicious

The vegan curry is simply delicious. Cheap, filling and love the custom spice levels. Have been to various Cocos 5 times now and the quality is consistent.

Pros: Flavour, Spice, Value

Highly recommend

Delicious, authentic, and no frills—this spot delivers exactly what you'd expect. The curry, a favorite among locals, lives up to its reputation. It came highly recommended, and I can see why. Perfect for a quick and satisfying lunch.

Decent, reliable and filling curry

Customisable to choose desired spice level up to level 20! I went with six and was already really very hot. Veg options include mixed veg, aubergine, egg, natto, mushrooms, spinach. Would have been nice to have a veg croquet of some sort. Decent price.

Curry buonissimo!

Hai la possibilità di comporre il piatto come preferisci, più riso, meno riso, piccante, meno piccante ecc. Per gli amanti del curry è spettacolare

Good, quick vegan options

If you are looking for quick, delicious, easily customizable curry, this place is definitely a good idea. Though be sure to mark your food as vegetarian! (otherwise they give you non vegan base sauce) You should also add some vegetables to your curry.

Pros: Easily customizable food, Big portions available

Cons: Unfortunately no more soy meat option

Good in a pinch

Not the tastiest food imo, but good in a pinch when you need a vegan option. Unfortunately the soy meat option seems to not be available at this one anymore. I got the spinach one and added natto. 10/15 spice level is very spicy!

Speedy, buoni economico

Più di una scelta, anche se la base rimane la stessa: riso più curry. Si più aggiungere qualche verdura in più.
Comodo perché è veloce ed economico.
Non parlano molto inglese

Pros: Più di una scelta, Veloce, Economico

Cons: Oltre al giapponese non parlano molto

Good

A decent cheap fast curry, is it the best you’ll find in Japan? No. But fills a hole quickly, clearly labelled as to what has meat in and easily customisable

Good

The food was good. You order on an ipad and the food comes. They give you a bill to pay at the cashier. The food came out quickly. I was sat at an individual booth. We came here because of the vegan options.

Pros: Fast, Cheap, Yummy

Cons: Not a ton of options , Menu a little confusing

Great vegan curry option

Always wanted to try Japanese curry. They had an abundance of vegan options and even a soy cutlet which was vegan. Really filling and good price point. Nice for a cheap lunch with lots of options.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Lots of chains around japan, Quick easy meal

Classic Japanese Curry

It’s tasty, it’s filling and it’s cheap! Coco curry has a dedicated vegetarian menu which is really rare and exciting for a Japanese chain. It’s the classic taste of Japanese curry with none of the meat. Nothing mind blowing, but good comfort food that I’d happily eat a hundred times

Good cheap Japanese Vegan Curry

Although not entirely a vegan restaurant, it has a seperate vegetarian menu which clearly states 'no animal derived ingredients'. You can select which vegetables you want as well as how spicy. I would recommend the vegetable curry (carrot, potato, green beans), it was really delicious!! Cutlery is also provided which is great (I'm not being basic, I just hate single use chopsticks).

Pros: Cheap, great taste, separate vegetarian/vegan menu

Delicious vegan Japanese curry!

Vegan curry base which you can add a variety of vegan toppings to such as vegetables, spinach or mushroom. Choose how spicy you want it to be and how much rice with your meal. Very yummy!

Pros: Cheap, fast, English and Japanese menu

Clearly labelled vegan menu

The menu clearly stated that the curry sauce was vegetarian and didn’t include egg or milk (something I’ve found to be quite rare in Japan). Lots of options and was a good cheap meal!
Be sure you’re ordering off of the vegetarian menu and you’re good to go!

Pros: Clearly labelled menu, Staff spoke English, Authentic cuisine

Cons: Not a place where you can stay for a long time, Hard to find

Good adorable choice

Is a good choice if you want to experience a Japanese meal without having meat. There are quite a few curry choices too and very affordable and good portion size also.

Pros: Many vegetarian curry choices, Cheap - 740 yen, English menu

Cons: Can be busy
