Cool, Tasty and Chilled Out - Edit
A long wide table spans the entire restaurant so you may be eating with others - however this is the vibe of the place so don’t be put off. It’s super chilled, with delicious vegan junk food, good drinks and music. Seems to attract many westerners which isn’t a bad thing - staff seem to be all Japanese so you don’t feel like you’re in a tourist hot spot. Highly recommend everything on the menu (I’ve been a few times).
Read morePros: Chilled Out, Relaxed and Trendy, Excellent range of vegan junk food , Attracts a range of customers
Cons: You’ll end up sitting next to somebody you won’t k

great - Edit
First thing I thought when I went there for the first time: there are only foreign people 😂 but whatever that these vegan hamburgers are delicious, my non vegetarian friends also love them. Will go back again!

Worth the walk, again and again. - Edit
Debated whether to go to Ripple, as I have a similar place back home in Perth, but Ripple is all vegan, so must be supported.
Read moreWell worth the walk. Had the signature burger....very nice, not too heavy, plenty of veg with it.
Because of a review I had read, I decided to try the French toast ( hence no fries with the burger)......bl#@@#y hell it was good. Will be going back again before I leave if only for somemore of that.
Place had a pleasant feel to it. What I would describe as an eatery, no pretensions. Highly recommend.
Pros: Vegan..ambience..good selection.
Cons: None.

Delicious fast-food style - Edit
Delicious, well prepared and presented vegan food!
Read moreThe ripple burger is meaty and cheesy, completely delicious.
The chicken burger with tartar sauce is another winner, very good quality “chicken” patty, with a tangy tartar sauce that really finishes it off.
They serve some nice beer and other sides that are definitely worth trying (check out their cheesy fries!)
Pros: quick service, delicious food, great value
Cons: can’t eat enough! :p

Nice venue, very busy, tasty vegan meat options. Chips need to be cooked for longer.

Good vegan fast food - Edit
I had the "chicken" burger, which was delicious. The chips with cheese topping weren't top quality though - having had vegan cheese (Violife and other nice brands) in Europe, this one was felt a bit too coconuty and its texture was not exactly smooth. Still, edible! The place is small and packed with foreigners, easy to forget you are in Japan. I would definitely come back to have that burger again. Pricewise - typical Tokyo, with burgers for over 1200 yen. Portion sizes are reasonable, a set menu with fries should satisfy you.
Read morePros: good food
Cons: limited space

Great Western Feed! - Edit
If you’re like us, nearing the end of our trip and having a hankering for a deliciously cheesy (vegan) burger this is place to visit! I had cheesy fries and my partner had mac n cheese and then we both had a cheese burger - we demolished our meals pretty quickly!
Read morePros: delicious , cheesy , many options
Cons: a little pricey

disappointing - Edit
Smallish cafe style with counter service. Order pay in advance. I had rippon burger and fries and fresh lemonade to drink. Burger was a reasonable size served in brown paper burger eating bag designed to cover the face of the eater. The bun was over toasted to the point it was hard on one side The burger itself was edable but nothing special. French fries likely cooked from frozen were hot though so pale they looked under done.
Read morePros: friendly staff spoke english, lemonade was good, international friendly crowd
Cons: food, small space, Can feel crowded

good vegan fast food - Edit
This is the first of the Ain Soph chain I tried in Tokyo. It’s a bit of a trek from Shinjuku station, but worth it. The seating is very limited so try and get there before the rush! The staff are very nice and friendly, and the person I ordered with spoke perfect English. I had the cheeseburger and fries which was delicious but if I have time I will definitely be going back to try something else! I also had the rum/raisin ice cream which was also really good, and got a takeaway tiramisu.
Read morePros: Really good burger and ice cream, Great staff!, nice cosy atmosphere
Cons: limited seating, fries appeared to be heated from frozen

Vegan heaven - Edit
Rarely do we get so many choices... I wanted to have everything thing from the menu. Burgers, burrito bowls, salads, fries and desserts.
Read moreThe only downside was seating... about 15ish seats most of those on a big table so you will end up sharing with strangers (not such a bad thing).
Friendly English speaking staff. Got some delicious biscuits to take home.
Pros: everything vegan , well priced , absolutely delicious food
Cons: lack of seating

Delish! - Edit
Entirely vegan burger joint. Had the soy chicken and it was delicious! My partner had the ripple cheese burger and that wasn't too great. Definitely go for the 'chicken' burger though!

Nice small burger place - Edit
Cozy little place which can be crowded.
Read moreNice little walk from Shinjuku station.
I had the Ripple burger + cheese french fries. That was copious.
The burger was good, I felt it went some time to make sure it was great. The fries were a little boring, nothing special, and the vegan cheese was ok.
Pricey place for what it is and it is Tokyo after all.
I wished Tokyo would made cheap low key vegan places instead of those popular hipster places that tries to be charming but instead lacks authenticity.
Pros: Food, great for Tokyo, Cozy in some way
Cons: Price -> Tokyo, Crowded -> Tokyo

great fast food - Edit
Fan or not of fast food the burguers in this place are delicious.
Read morehe chicken burger is GREAT, same as the tiramisu. I'm not big fan of their normal cheeseburguers and frieds, as well as the prices, but it's a nice place with great service.

Meh... - Edit
The food was okay, but not excellent. Google Maps couldn’t find a way from Shinjuku station other than walking to this place, which is quite a long walk. For how far out is, it wasn’t really that worth it. As far as prices go, this is by far the most expensive place we have also eaten at in Tokyo so far.
Read morePros: Full Vegan Menu
Cons: Expensive, Food has a very ‘artificial’ taste

Excellent burgers and fries, mostly mock meats. Good for a “naughty” hot meal. Ice cream is delicious, would recommend the rum and raisin! Omni family loved their meals also. Super cosy and friendly staff.

Awesome burguers - Edit
I had to wait a little before sitting, but there is a place to wait outside so it’s ok. The burgers were great but I didn’t really enjoyed their cheese since it tasted too much like cow’s milk cheese (and I was never a fan of those). The flavour is really strong for me but I think it’s a positive thing overall, so if you miss cheese this is definitely the place to go! I also had the ice cream and it was fantastic!

Delicious food, friendly atmosphere - Edit
Ripple is a relaxed and friendly fast food establishment with a number of different options, all vegan. Upon arrival grab a seat and a menu and when you are ready order and pay at the counter, the food tends to arrive reasonably quickly.
Read moreHaving tried several items on the menu I would definitely recommend the chicken burger, burrito bowl, MAC N CHEZ, chocolate brownie ice cream and muffins (cheeseburger and cheese fries were less of a hit with us, but this could just be personal taste).
You can also order falafel burger, salad boxes, chilli cheese fries, nachos, soup and a variety of desserts (some of these items are not on the regular menu although seemed to be available every time I have visited!).
The drinks are quite pricey but the food itself is good value for the quality! Not the best vegan burger I have ever had BUT definitely a place I will go to again and again!
Pros: Nice vibe, Good food, Good faux meat/ dairy
Cons: Slightly expensive drinks

Best Vegan Burgers in Town! - Edit
We eat at Ripple constantly (at least once a week) and have tried almost everything on the menu. My favourites are: Falafel Burger, Tiramisu, Hot Soup, Burrito, Rum Raisin Ice Cream, French Toast and the Hot Lemonade. We really love the casual vibe, friendly staff and convenient location!! Close to East exit of Shinjuku Station, Seibu Shinjuku Station and Toho Cinema in Kabukicho. Highly recommend!
Read morePros: Healthy fast food, Fully vegan, Amazing desserts
Cons: can fill up quickly at night
