Discriminatory!!! Do not support!!!

This restaurant has a sign in English and Japanese at the entrance. The English version explains they acommodate many types of dietary needs. The Japanese version says if you are Japanese you have to pre-register with them and "agree to their philosophy", whatever that means. That's just plain discriminatory and I refused to step inside this restaurant.

Cons: Discriminatory towards Japanese

Do not miss!

This was my second visit. The vegan noodle bowl is huge! Service very friendly. I would highly recommend. But try to book; you can walk in if you’re early I believe

A proper restaurant I would revisit

Zesty ramen was an 8/10. Very good broth. The staff were very very friendly and spoke good English. I got to have a good conversation about Osaka at the bar with my waiter. This is way better than many of the vegan restaurants on HappyCow with 5 stars and lots of reviews.

Extremely yummy, super friendly staff

Properly deserving of 5 starts.

Staff gave us a free shot each of peach sake, ramen was lovely. Had the black garlic ramen bowl, and while it was yummy I do prefer their original miso and sesame flavour bowl!

Love that you can make things gluten free too.

Pros: Yummy!, Atmosphere & staff

Very friendly and fun place to eat

We loved the atmosphere, service and food. The wait staff is so friendly and we had the spicy ramen with dumplings on the side. They were both very good. We saw reviews complaining about it being for tourists and not locals. But as a tourist it’s nice to have people from Japan speak English recommend places to you and teach you some Japanese. We would highly recommend eating here worth the price and the food was delicious.

Pros: Food, Staff, Atmosphere

Cons: Nothing

Great ramen, great service

The staff was extremely friendly. The food was good, there are 3 options for vegans. The price was alright and we got a free drink because they heard we were in our honeymoon. Very recommended

Delicious, but mostly a tourist spot

Nice:
- vegan menu
- yummy
- everyone spreaks englisch
- very nice staff
But:
- only tourist
- Pricier than expected. They justify it with regional ingredients, but I think it’s mostly because it’s popular with tourists.

Best ramen I’ve ever had!

I’d give this ALL of the stars! Happy cow won’t let me give 5 if not entirely vegan. This was such a fun place!! Super friendly service! LOVED. All our meals. Very accommodating for kids too. Note the entrance door is in an alley. Absolutely delicious! Confidently vegan options.

Best ramen I’ve had in Japan

While most vegan ramens were unsatisfactory (as person form Warsaw I have high expectations), Osaka Engine Ramen was the only one that I could simply describe as delicious and full of flavors. Its fully vegan, made form locally grown crops (both vegetables and herbs that are strongly present in the soup). The noddles were freshly made. It’s 5/5 ramen, I’ll will definitely eat it again in their second restaurant in Kyoto.

The reviews speak for themselves

The silken tofu in the zesty ramen really add a whole other layer of deliciousness to the broth. The toppings are all well balanced and combined with the broth give a really rich flavor.

Very weird how they primarily want to cater to foreigners & not locals though. 4/5 for that even though the food is 5.5/5

Pros: Food

Discrimination should not be supported

As delicious as the ramen may be – I cannot recommend this place. The prices are 2–3 times higher than regular ramen, and frankly, I’m tired of vegans and vegetarians always having to pay extra. But what’s even more concerning: this restaurant openly discriminates and explicitly excludes Japanese customers. There is a sign at the entrance stating this, and several Google reviews confirm that they only welcome foreign customers – likely because they assume they can charge them more. Discrimination of any kind should not be supported. Sorry.

Cons: Discrimates people, Way too expensive, Tourists only

Incredibly kind staff! Amazing vegan ramen!!!

Akari took amazing care of us - she is so sweet and made us feel so welcome in Osaka! Probably the best vegan ramen Ive ever had (granted I never had ramen prior to being vegan but my boyfriend - a non veg- also enjoyed it) I can’t recommend enough! May hit the Kyoto location as well…

Pros: Flavorful & tasty, Great service, 3 vegan options!

Awesome Vegan ramen

Tried Osaka Engine Ramen and loved it! The food was incredibly tasty, the interior had a cool, cozy vibe, and the staff were super friendly. Prices are a bit higher than average, but honestly, totally worth it for the quality. Would happily go again!

Very tasty vegan ramen

We tried zesty vegan ramen and Osaka black vegan ramen. I liked more the back vegan ramen because the zesty vegan was spicy but still delicious.

Pros: The broth , The tofu in the zesty ramen was so delicious , Nice, young staff

Cons: It was more pricier than other vegan ramens

Nice ramen but what's that sign? :D

The ramen were great, they have a specific Osaka-exclusive flavour.

They also offer ongiri which my friends seemed to enjoy!

There is a sign at the entrance saying they are in the pre-opening state which is a bit strange (addresses only Japanese customers)

Best Vegan ramen I've ever had.

I guess all their reviews are on Google maps. My wife knew of this place on her Instagram - for a vegan, this is one of the best places we have been after 10 days in Japan.

Unreal.

If you ever eat a better vegan ramen than this, I simply don't believe you haha.

Other amazing mentions:
- the atmosphere. Wow! I won't spoil it, enjoy the surprise. It's stunning.
- the staff. Service was exceptional. You received an apron (good for sloppy eaters like me...) and they speak English and chat with you while you are waiting - this really added to the experience for us. Warm, friendly and accommodating with lots of time for you
- freebie! We were given some of their local sake to try (never seen such big bottles!!!).
- free origami lesson!

Overall - superb for a vegan. This place will do incredibly well.

HappyCow won't enable five star ratings, but this definitely gets that. Amazing. To be clear - the vegan options are fully vegan.

Pros: Atmosphere, Ramen, Service

Cons: Nothing

Lovely ramen spot in Osaka

3 vegan / veggie ramen options (can add an egg). Would recommend in Osaka.
