"Excellent Options"   My Rating
3 mako	Posted on: Thursday, January 10, 2008
	Review: This was the best izakaya style vegetarian restaurant I've had in Tokyo so far. The food is delicious, they have wonderful soy and gluten-based fake meats, and the service is wonderful. The staff is helpful and provided English menus (vegetarian/vegan options are clearly marked on both menus). The only caveat is that the price, especially if you're going to be drinking, is a little bit steep. I was there for a several hours and walked away with a 7000+ yen/person bill -- and was still a little hungry. While the drinks (and the special shochu in particular) is delicious, I'd recommend having just one or two drinks at Gaya and focusing on the food. You can drink decent beer and shochu at lots of izakayas elsewhere in Shibuya for much cheaper.   Pros: english-friendly * delicous * many veg options Cons: price * *

"Good Organic Veg-Friendly Izakaya"   My Rating
18 KelseyApple	Posted on: Sunday, December 02, 2007
	Review: This restaurant is NOT VEGAN. They are not vegetarian even. They sell organic meat and wild fish as well as egg and milk products. However, the atmosphere is really neat and the food is tasty. It is more of an izakaya style (Japanese pub) than a sit down restaurant. You are meant to get several smaller dishes and share them between many people. Value is on par for Tokyo. Service is excellent. The first time I went there I misread the website and ended up arriving after last orders. It was pretty late and there were no other places for me to get any vegan food so they made me a vegan bento with 9 different side dishes. Delicious! Desserts could be better but good selection of vegan treats.   Pros: good food * excellent service * organic Cons: not vegan * small, ordinary desserts *

"Great vegetarian restaurant"   My Rating
2 kelly	Posted on: Friday, October 19, 2007
	Review: We were very happy to find this restaurant through Happy Cow during our trip to Japan. It is difficult to find vegetarian friendly food in Tokyo. The food was very good, and everyone was very friendly. They also had an English menu and English speaking staff, which was very helpful. Wish we would have found it before our last night there.   Pros: great food * friendly staff * English speaking Cons: * *

"delicious"   My Rating
1 fitvegan	Posted on: Sunday, September 30, 2007
	Review: I spent a while looking for veg places, so was very thankful to find the happy cow, and this restaurant. Very friendly English speaking staff. They even recommended other vegetarian restaurants. Menu is somewhat limited but good. I had a very tasty Ceasar's salad (no cheese) and fake chicken. Both were delicious and filling. Including a fruit juice it was 2800Y. Seemed to be popular with Gaijins, there was a whole party there.   Pros: yummy * high quality ingredients * very friendly staff Cons: some smokers around (though not near me) * *
