Sad it closed - Many good vegan meals there

I know the restaurant is now closed, but it's one of the few closed restaurants where I'm happy to leave a tribute as I had so many good meals there. I think I've had at least 3 dinners at Hanada Rosso and it was good every time. The food itself was a bit westernized and nothing out of this world, but it was very comforting after a long day of walking and visiting.

Also had a fun story with one waitress as every time I went there I would ask if they had the Vegan Cheesecake, and she would say "yes, yes, yes.... no, no, no" and it was so adorable because the "yes" was to acknowledge they had cheesecake in the menu, but the "no" to say they didn't have it available.. I ended up trying the cheesecake on my third visit!!

Pros: Super nice staff

Cons: Hard to find until you know it

Fantastic find in Tokyo !

Wish I could give this five stars as the food and service was great (app will only let me give 4 as its not fully vegan)... I had the veggie hamburger and fried soy “chicken” on the side... both tasted great and were good value too. Fried soy chicken was possible the most tasty vegan snack ever !!! 100% recommend a visit here just to try them!

Quiet, but good

Good food and quick service. It was a little hard to find because it was down a path but wasn’t marked on the initial signs for things in the building. I had the burger which came with a small portion of fries, including a lotus chip.

Pros: Good portion size, English menu

Unexpected

I didn't expect this to be in an arcade, but was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food.

Soy cutlets and burger were fantastic, staff friendly and ample seating available. It's not the cheapest place though.

So lovely!

We had a HUGE day of shopping in Harajuku & this just topped off the day! I get the Hanada Veggie burger & my bf got the Harajuku Veggi Hamburg. Both delicious! Highly reccomend!

Lovely little place

I had the kurumafu set which was delicious, especially the homemade miso soup. The vegetables were really well cooked, and the rice was very flavourful.

It's not an entirely vegan restaurant as it has fish and egg options, but there are lots of vegan options which are clearly labelled

Pros: Organic & seasonal, Lovely staff

Cons: Drinks are a little expensive

healthy vegan food

I accidentally found this this café in an arcade. There were heaps of vegan options. I had a ‘meat’ pattie with brown rice, veggies and little salad bits.

Delicious food made with love

Went here for lunch during a walking tour of the area. The menu is vegan except for a fish dish available at lunchtime. I had soy cutlets, miso soup and an organic Japanese beer, all of which were delicious. At the end of the meal, both myself and the guide were so full we had to walk at half pace! The chef and staff here were really lovely, and I could feel the food was prepared with love. It’s worth the effort to find this place...

Pros: Large servings, Tasty food prepared with care

Fill me up burger

Finally a full size veggie burger in Japan!! Had the Hanada Veggie Burger and boy was it good. Among the best I've ever had. Not cheap at 1580 yen, but worth it. Don't let Google maps lead you down the hairdresser lane. This restaurant is a little further on, just off the main street in a short arcade. It looks like a hamburger diner.

Pros: BIG PORTIONS,

Not a vegan restaurant.

I'm giving a 3 star rating only due to my disappointment when I reached the cafe and observed the poster out front with a photo of a platter including fish on the menu. This restaurant has been advertised as a vegan restaurant on happy cow and I think this is a disservice to other fully vegan restaurants in the area that I know would take preference to some other vegans like myself.

My partner and I have tried to eat at solely vegan restaurants most of our time in Japan to ensure no cross-contamination. Obviously to some degree you have to take what you can get here. I don't mind eating at places that only have vegan options, but when a restaurant appears to be vegan online I'm obviously pretty disappointed to find there are mainly meat courses when I get there. I apologise if this is becoming redundant.

The cafe itself was a little difficult to find at first, other reviews helped guide us, the maps direction led us down a side street to a hair dresser salon initially.

The waitress greeted us immediately and showed us to a table, she was LOVELY. The main dish we hoped to have was the vegan burger, which wasn't on the menu when we sat down, she told us the vegan burger was only on the dinner menu so we politely got up to leave as that was the only appetising thing in reviews that we had seen. Once we had walked out the door she flagged us down and told us that the chef was happy to prepare us the burger. This was such great customer service and we really appreciated the gesture so I had to mention it here. However we chose to eat at Cori Vegan Foodstand 700m down the road instead in this circumstance. I definitely wouldn't discourage anybody from eating at Hanada Rosso, I just wanted to make it clear that it isn't a solely vegan or vegetarian restaurant, in case anyone else gets the wrong impression as I did.

Pros: Attentive staff, very accommodating chef!

Cons: Simply misrepresented as a vegan restaurant.

Thank you for your post. They used to be vegan but recently changed their menu (in my opinion, in the wrong direction). As the HappyCow Tokyo Ambassodor, I apologize for the delay in updating their status.

Wow

It took a bit of effort to find this place, situated 20m down a shopping arcade/alley way with no visual signs from the street. Thankfully we persisted as this might be the best vegan burger I have ever had. Ever. It's more of a cafe than a restaurant, but once again, friendly staff and excellent food.

The complimentary tea was soothing, and the second meal ordered was the burger plate which was equally as good.

Do yourself a favour and check this place out!

Pros: Delicious food, Friendly staff, Large serves

Cons: Not easy to locate

Good food.

Every vegan place is like heaven in Tokyo, since there are so few. Food at Hanada Rosso was good, though a bit pricey for what it is. Of all places, I would not go there specifically, but it's worth the stop if you're around!

Great!

We found the food and drinks to be very expensive, but honestly the quality was really good so it was worth it. We asked about dessert and were told about an off-menu pumpkin parfait that was excellent!

Too expensive

I am very sorry to say this, because I absolutely want to support vegan restaurants, but there is a limit when it comes to prices. I have been trying many different vegan places here in Tokyo, so I decided to try Hanada Rosso as well for dinner. The cheapest price on the menu is 1680¥ (for the burger for example). That s ridiculous, even for Tokyo standards.

Pros: english menu

Cons: price

Ehh

Hanada Rosso was pretty easy to locate, and the English signs were very helpful in ordering. The staff was pleasant. I ordered the summer special cold brown rice noodles (¥1,188). It was pretty expensive (¥980-¥1500). Small selection, only 4 options, and I didn't like how it seemed so based on fried foods. I tried to order the healthiest dish, which seemed to be the noodles. The food didn't take to long to come out, but I was disappointed in the bland flavor, and how it too come with fried soy meat. I left feeling comfortably full though, just the right amount of food. I'll come back though one more time maybe to try the famed burger, but for now, the restaurant was just a meh.

Pros: Fully vegan, English

Cons: Fried food, Bland taste, Pretty expensive

Average food

It was difficult to find this place using Google map, but some of the reviews were quite helpful.
I had a lunch there. Menu was quite limited and I choose a plate which included soy croquettes, rice, soup, and salad. Everything had an average taste. Berry smoothie cost 800y and had a lot of ice - almost a half of the glass.
So I think the food is overpriced and I wouldn't return there again.

Bad customer service

I went to Hanada Rosso with my boyfriend. He already ate, so I just wanted to have a burger. I was so hungry because I haven't found vegan food for me that day. We were the only customers at Hanada Rosso and I ordered one vegan burger but the waitress pointed on the menu and showed me: "One order per customer, no sharing!"
I told her I don't want to share, I will eat alone. Only one burger for me, no share! But she kept pointing on this sentence "No share!" Then my boyfriend went out and wanted to wait for me outside and I asked the waitress: "And now I can order?" And she said: "Yes!"
I was so hungry and the only customer and this restaurant is so disrespectful and refused me to order! Of course I went out totally mad without ordering, because they want me to sit alone to eat and my bf is standing outside??? I will never go to this restaurant again and can not recommend it when customer service is important for you.

Pros: Good location

Cons: Bad customer service, They wanted me to sit alone

healthy and yum

I went here for lunch and had the croquet set which was really great. I liked it because it was healthy served with fresh salad and brown rice. It was really tasty and I appreciated eating it. I had a cake but it was rather small (even for Japan slices) the flavors were really well thought out and was perfectly balanced.
I was a bit upset though because I was there with my boyfriend who had already eaten and was accompanying me while I had lunch. He wasn't able to stay because he didn't order a meal so I found that quite rude. The cafe was empty and we weren't sharing a meal. I felt like that experience was enough for me to not go back and find the next vegan option in that area.

Pros: healthy well balanced meal

Cons: service

First, but certainly not last visit

The Hanada Rosso restaurant has been in Tokyo for 7 years now. Yet, I never managed to eat there because of their "fickle" opening hours (closed on Monday, weekdays open from 11.30 - 16.00 and then from 17.30 to 21.00 weekends 12.00 - 21.00). Whenever I was there, the place was closed. But not today! So we dove in and ordered a big meal.

I had the much discussed hamburger and loved it. It is strong flavoured and satisfying like fast food, but of course much more healthy. I could taste the high quality ingredients, even when fried and stuffed with sauce. The lettuce actually had a very mild dressing, so one can actually taste the lettuce. Well done!

My friend ordered the "meal of the day" with high quality brown rice, fresh vegetables and gluten based soy meat. Since the portion was a bit on the small side, we also ordered the fried soy meat. All very satisfying! Do note that many items on the menu change by the season or even by the day. In other words: "your mileage may vary".

Yet, I do not agree with those who say this is the best vegan place in Tokyo or even the world. The quality is far above average and can best be compared to Chaya Macrobiotics (Hibya / Shiodome). Also, one clearly notices the food is prepared with care and passion for the job.

Finally, here's how to find Hanada Rosso:
- locate Tokyu Plaza and the Condomania in Harajuku (both famous and easy to spot places)
- Move away from Tokyu Plaza into the direction of Condomania and follow that street
- After 2 or 3 minutes you'll find a Dr. Martens shop
- Next is "Q Plaza" and "Hawaiian Cafe & Dinner" (second floor)
- Walk into the ally under Hawaiian Cafe & Dinner
- 10 seconds later you arrive.
- Sit down, order, enjoy!

Pros: strong taste, prepared with care and passion, high quality ingredients

Cons: complicated opening hours, not cheap (but worth it), menu changes a lot

A bit too pricy for me

Yesterday I went to Hanada Rosso and ordered the hamburger and a 12 in 1 veggie juice (can't remember the exact name but it was something like that). I enjoyed the side dishes, and the hamburger was really good, but it was so small it seemed like another another side dish... The juice simply tasted like tomato juice and it was red so I'm wondering what the other 11 veggies were. I didn't get very full, just enough to not be hungry anymore, but if it wasn't for the price I would definitely have tried some dessert. I paid 2010yen which is expensive compared to other places I've been to. I might come back sometime only if I'm in the Harajuku area and don't have more options available.

Pros: The hamburger was very good. Enjoyed the side dish

Cons: Too pricy. Tiny hamburger.

Good little vegan spot

Good little vegan lunch spot in the harajuku area. The restaurant wasn't too hard to find; it's located in a mini plaza on a side street (take a right after the Dr Martens store) and there was a sign outside indicating the direction of the restaurant. There is English on the menu which is helpful, and while there were only about 4 meal options on the menu there was an abundant amount of items on the special menu. Ordered the veggie burger (which was delicious) and a slice of cake for dessert (also delicious), which was a very small portion but just the right amount for one person in my opinion. The space has a cafe like atmosphere and is quite small, but many spaces in Tokyo are quite small. The restaurant is also cash only!!!

Pros: Easy to find, Good portion

Cons: Small space, Slow service
