Good choices - Edit
We went to Aim Soph in Tokyo and had the burgers which were very nice. When we got to this one we had eaten a big lunch so I thought I'd go for something smaller. I opted for the vegan Spanish tortilla, which was very authentic and tasted great, but was a tad small, in hind sight I should have opted for a side😉to make it up to myself I got a crème brulee and mulled wine, both of which were over indulgently delicious!

Excellent vegan restaurant - Edit
Everything was delicious and beautifully served. I especially appreciated the brown rice instead of white. And the desserts were particularly beautiful and creative.

Great lunch spot - Edit
Really great and conveniently located lunch spot. Everyone loves this place because the food is great and staff is very friendly and accommodating, so you might end up waiting a little if you go at a peak eating time but it’s worth the wait

Just Ok—food wasn’t served hot - Edit
I really wanted to give this place four stars, but here’s why I only gave it 3/5: the burgers we ordered were actually not bad, but I had to deduct a point because it was served lukewarm-ish; almost cold not cold cold, but just not hot and fresh off the grill either. It made me wonder if the burgers just sat for a while? Or are they frozen and it just wasn’t cooked long enough? Again, flavors were decent (4/5) but the temperature of it made me enjoy it much less than I would have otherwise. This also led me to start nitpicking at things I normally don’t have a problem with. So here are those issues: compared to a lot of other restaurants that we have been to in Japan, this one looked slightly rundown. Almost like it wasn’t maintained, but I’m not sure if that was just the vintage cottage style decor? This place is by no means expensive, but it is a little bit higher priced than average compared to other restaurants we had been to so the fact that our burgers were served cold-ish and the place didn’t feel clean made me a little bit uneasy. I have heard great things about this place, but we didn’t have an opportunity to go while in Tokyo for other cities (they have multiple locations). It’s possible we would’ve had a better experience at a different one. Anyway, I don’t know if I would recommend it. It’s possible that our situation was a fluke though.
