So gooooood - Edit
This place is SO GOOD!!
Read moreI love the shop itself, the inside is soo cosy, especially on a freezing cold day.
I am in love with the burrito, the flavour is incredible. And at first I actually thought it had dairy in it, but its some crazy amazing vegan sour cream and cheese combo that makes the burrito taste like ones I would buy back home before going vegan. Also the roasted vegetable salad has the trade mark ain soph. dressing on it, which if you have tasted it before, know its sooo good.
Their desserts are delicious too, I love the vanilla ice cream and dark chocolate muffin.
I've already been here numerous times on my trip because it keeps pulling me back in, I cant resist.
Great place to take in your laptop or books and do some work. They have chargers at the tables for you to charge your phone or laptop.
Pros: Great food, lovely atmosphere, lots of options
Cons: not much, to be honest.

Great vegan junk food in Shinjuku - Edit
Was super excited to eat some vegan junk food! It took a little bit of time to find the place since it seemed like it was on a side street, but it was relatively easy to find. I had the vegan cheeseburger with fries; it was delicious! Didn't taste too processed. Seating can be limited since it's a small location but it wasn't too busy when I went. Staff was really nice as well. Would definitely go again when I crave burgers.

Great start to vegan dining Tokyo! - Edit
This was the first stop after dropping bags at our hotel nearby. We ordered a Crispy Chicken Burger, a Cheese Burger and chips to share. The waitress was very helpful and accommodating considering our lack of local language skills. The place, situated down a quiet side street, was warm and cozy, the perfect place for a cold, wet night out. The wait was short, and soon we were devouring our meal.
Read moreAwesome chips, great tasting burgers - perfect! There was nothing to fault at all and we promised to go back, only we ran short of time, unfortunately. Highly recommend you check this out!
Pros: excellent food, friendly staff, cozy atmosphere

Very kind staff and great burgers - Edit
My family are strictly vegetarian and had come to visit me in Tokyo. I had not checked the closing time of the restaurant properly and we arrived to the restaurant late. Nevertheless, the restaurant's staff invited us in, fired up the kitchen and stuffed our bellies with delicious vegan burgers that are rightfully praised in many other reviews. I had the vegan Sloppy Joe - the chick peas add a nice bite to the Sloppy Joe.
Read moreThe two staff on duty that evening went truly above and beyond the call of duty, and thanks to them, my family didn't freeze and starve that night! And the food was delicious. I'm not a strict vegetarian but I will certainly visit again for the food. Thanks Ain Soph.Ripple, keep up the good work!
Pros: Delicious food, Great Service, Great location for those visiting Shinjuku

Good Burger - Edit
The first time I went there, I had the Ripple Cheese Burger. The patty was tasty and had a great texture, it wasn't mushy and it held together. The sauce was good as well. The bun was too chewy for my taste. The cheese tasted a little cheesy.
Read moreOn my second visit, I ordered the Crispy Chicken Burger and the Cheese Fries. The "chicken" itself was quite strange in texture but had a nice crispy coating. The tartar sauce in it was delicious. As for the Cheese Fries, they were crispy but again, not very cheesy in taste.
The staff were very friendly. Overall, my experience here was pleasant and I would recommend it to any vegan or vegetarian as a place to eat.
Pros: Takeout OK!, Tasty burger., Friendly staff.
Cons: Chewy bun.

The best vegan fast food place in Tokyo - Edit
For food, this is 5 stars. I'm pretty sure this is the best burger I've had in Tokyo [Edit as of Feb 2017: Mr Farmer's burgers are on the same level.] Definitely better than Hanada Rosso and Island Veggie Burger. I haven't had the one from Veganic in Roppo yet. But in any case, this was a very good burger, even my omni friends want to go again. It's pretty substantial, comes with generous toppings and the cheeseburger version comes with a really cheesy sauce. The patty is on the soft side (as they usually are if they don't use seitan) but all the tastier for it. My lunch buddies also loved the burrito salad bowl. I had the mixed salad and that was very good too although I could do without the bland soy nuggets. The muffin was top notch. Atmosphere is nice and the price is most definitely right.
Read moreThe only thing that bothered me were the very uncomfortable stools to sit on (no backrest, and too small) and the absence of separate tables (there is only one long communal table, plus one long counter along the window).
The lack of comfort is really a downer. With better chairs and separate tables this would be one of my absolute favorites in Tokyo. Hope they will open another restaurant with the same menu but better furniture elsewhere. Shibuya please, or Futakotamagawa!
EDIT APRIL 2016: came back and this time they had a sort of thousand island / "Aurora" sauce on the burger I didn't care for. Next time I'll ask them to skip that. WTF!

This place is honestly so great. The staff were lovely and the food was fast and so yummy. I got the cheeseburger with fries and it had the best vegan cheese I have ever had.

I thoroughly enjoyed my meal here- lovely staff, nice space and most importantly delicious food. My 65y/o meat eating dad loved the food too, which I think is saying something. I would recommend this place to anyone and I can't wait to go back soon!

Well, ... - Edit
Nice location and relatively reasonable but I did not really like the soy meat for their crispy chicken burger because of the peculiar smell and taste. I also did not like the oil that they use. Staff members were very nice.

Mmmmm - Edit
Ordered the ripple cheeseburger and the cheesiness hit the spot man. It was sooo cheesy. Really good though! The patty itself was a bit bland in taste, and was kind of salty though, and also had that mushy texture that most veg patties have. The whole burger was really mushy, but the buns were crisp which countered it nicely. The taste was all in the sauces. The atmosphere was nice, the staff friendly. The price was a little high, but if felt like the portion was just right. It truly is a treat, but afterward, I felt a little sick, probably because it really is unhealthy vegan food. I think the taste still makes up for it though! Will come again to try the Mac and cheese and the burrito bowl :)
Read moreUpdate December 2016
Burrito bowl is my favorite, and go to order ;)
Crispy Chicken Buger is an indulgence, but really great to, crispy and oily but so heavy, still recommend it, but definitely the least healthy!
Chocolate chip cookie is huge, a little bit pricey but definitely worth
Have yet to try the falafel burger, waffle, and French toast, but will update when!

Lots of food, good quality - Edit
I saw some poor reviews on HappyCow for being very expensive but with very small portions. I'd been here before for dessert, but unknowingly my brother and his gf picked this for me the first night I was visiting them, and I warned him on the way about the small portion reviews (he's a hungry growing boy). But it turns out we needn't have worried! I had a taco salad which was huge and delicious. My brother had a green curry, which was plenty of food for him, and his gf had fried soy meat and rice, and as a dedicated fried chicken eater, was suitably impressed. We split two desserts between us - the lemon cheesecake and chocolate cake. The chocolate cake was *hypnotic*.
