Incredible food and service - highly recommended - Edit
We just arrived from Canada and had been traveling for 24 hours. We were beat and hungry.
Read moreWe used Happy Cow to track you down and boy - the experience was worth more than a few wrong turns!!
We were greeted promptly by a smiling face, ushered upstairs to a lovely warm open room, and seated immediately. Our waiter was attentive and sweet; the kitchen team had our food to us in a jiffy. We enjoyed a pasta dish, a salad parfait, and a tofu quiche. Everything was delicious and fresh!
Sadly, there was no room for dessert this visit, but we'll be back again before we leave.

Thoroughly enjoyable vegan restaurant in the middle of Shinjuku - Edit
Great vegan options with lots of variety, great service and a good location. I got the pasta Bolognese with a salad and my guest got the deep fried teriyaki soy chicken wings with mushrooms ajillo. We were both happy with our selection.

For this price only okay - Edit
Pretty pricey for an okay dish with no vegetables except a few leafs of salad. They have a 90 minute rule even if the restaurant is empty or even if you order more or the restaurant is closing soon anyways. Unfortunate example for unnecessary Japanese rules.. pancakes supposed to be great but didn’t have them. Won’t be back for dinner:(
Read morePros: Have sockets , Free wifi
Cons: Have to leave after 90 minutes no matter what , Single use oshibori

Perfect place a vegan dining experience - Edit
We were staying in the Shinjuku and hence this place was on our bucket list. My family had the Green curry with rice, Taco rice and I tried the Teriyaki Deep soy with rice along with Karaage on the side. We liked all of them. The service was top class. Price wise I found it slightly on the higher side. But definitely worth it

Muy rica comida saludable - Edit
Fui con una persona no vegana y le encantó. Pedimos unas milanesas de soja que venían con ensalada y arroz y un tipo de carne de soja que venía con arroz y ensalada, las dos opciones riquísimas. También pedimos unos nachos con una salsita que estaba buenísima.

Pancakes!! - Edit
I went back for the pancakes twice. They were soo good and very filling as a meal on their own. I don’t usually eat gluten free and still found these to be light and fluffy.

Not bad? - Edit
I feel bad given how much hype this place has gotten but I felt like it was just fine. I will say, if you want something different than a lot of the typical Japanese food, this might be a good spot to come so you can get something like a salad, wrap, hummus, etc.
Read moreWe had the teriyaki chicken, the karaage, and the green curry. All was tasty but not necessarily something I felt you needed to go out of your way for. We didn’t try the pancakes, so maybe that would have totally changed this review! 😜

Tolles Essen mit Alternativprodukten - Edit
Etwas versteckt im Keller hatten wir Soy Cutlet mit Reis, Karaage und Teriyaki Deep Fried Soy Chicken. Fanden alle Gerichte super lecker 😋 Menü war auf Englisch, leider war es etwas schwer mit den Kellern zu kommunizieren.

Amazing but expensive - Edit
Absolutely love this place! AIN SOPH. Journey in Shinjuku is a completely vegan oasis in the middle of Tokyo. I had the teriyaki “meat” burger and it was insanely good — juicy, flavorful, and satisfying without being heavy. They’re also famous for their fluffy pancakes, and wow… they live up to the hype! Light, airy, and served with delicious vegan cream and syrup. The vibe is chill and stylish, with friendly staff who really seem to care. Whether you’re vegan or just curious, this place is a must-visit.

expensive - Edit
The pancake plate with matcha ice cream was delicious but really expensive especially for such a small quantity of food. Crème brûlée was also good, and hummus and chicken tenders were good as well. It was just all so expensive, they required a minimum order amount to allow us to stay, and they had a strict rule of 90 min at the table even when no one was waiting….

Great menu but it's expensive - Edit
In central Shinjuku and it's a hotspot for tourists so the food is expensive. They use meat substitutes. The teriyaki chicken was tasty but it didn't come with rice. The chicken cutlet didn't have much flavor and it came with rice. Their guacamole and vegan mayo were yummy too. Side dishes and desserts were pricy. Portion sizes were ok.
Read moreOnly thing keeping us from coming back were the prices. Staff speaks some English.

Come for the pancakes - Edit
I ended up going to this place twice, although to be honest the second time was out of convenience. So this was the first and last place I ate in Tokyo.
Read moreI ended up having the teriyaki both times because it turns out it's the only "dinner" option that doesn't seem very European. Sorry, It was certainly tasty and I think if I'd had it at home I would have been much more excited about it, but it was long from the top of my list compared to everything I ate in Tokyo. Given that I ate really well, I'm not complaining, but I hadn't traveled half way around the world to eat pasta.
The first time I went, I had the pancakes as well. They're not what I would call pancakes back home, but I couldn't care less about that because they were delicious and if that's what they call pancakes here, that's fine with me. I think I would have been very happy to come in the afternoon for a coffee and a plate of these as a special dessert. This place would probably be also great as a lunchtime option, albeit a bit of an expensive one.
I regret slightly not going for one of the lunch items (which I think were available in the evening too) just to try something different.
So it's 4 stars for me, well deserved if slightly unenthusiastic.
Pros: Pancakes
Cons: Lack of choice in Japanese options, A little pricey

Fantastic food! - Edit
We stopped in for lunch, without a reservation, and they were able to seat us quickly. The food was amazing, especially the pasta. We also tried some desserts, equally as tasty! The service was excellent, we would definitely come back.

Heavenly Pancakes Indeed - Edit
We knew we wanted to visit this spot to get the pancakes as a dessert, but we weren't really tempted by the savoury menu to get a proper lunch or dinner here. Instead, we booked for 1.45pm just for pancakes. I'm glad we booked, as it was busy when we arrived. By 2.30pm it was really quiet.
Read moreWe ordered two rounds of heavenly pancakes and one strawberry pancakes (seasonal special). In all cases the pancakes were very different from American pancakes I've had before - more like a scone in their texture, with quite a cakey base and a slightly crisp exterior. They were quite dense, but really tasty.
The strawberry pancakes did not skimp on the strawberries, and they were flavoursome too. The heavenly pancakes came with an assortment of fruit, plus nuts and seeds. Both sets came with cream and ice cream, both of which were delicious. No complaints at all about the pancakes, we were three very happy customers!
For drinks, we tried the raspberry cream soda - the cream is actually a scoop of ice cream. It was tasty!
Service was friendly and quite fast - there is a note to say the pancakes take about 15 minutes to prepare, so our expectations were well managed.

Delicious lunch and dessert - Edit
The staff were friendly and the place was cozy.
Read moreWe got the tofu quiche (ate it before thinking to take a photo, oops!), teriyaki bowl, the strawberry special with pastry and the pancakes. Everything was insane, so many flavours, the crust on the strawberry dessert was so crunchy! We are back in Tokyo in 9 days and are wanting to go back.

Decent - Edit
Taste was really nice, staff as everyone in Japan super lovely. Just the portion could've been bigger. The meat replacement tasted amazing! However, most of my plate was just plain rice with lettuce leafs.

Delicious brunch - Edit
Came here just to try the fluffy pancakes and were super satisfied! Do not expect the classic fluffy pancakes, they remind more of a very spongy cake, anyway they were super delicious. I also got the matcha latte with soy milk which was very good.
