High End Cost But Low End Taste - Edit
Definitely overrated and overpriced - over 3,000 yen for a 400 ml ginger ale and greasy soy burger with fries. Maybe other items are tasty but won't be back to try👎🏾

Good option - Edit
Good vegan option in the Ikebukuro area. The vegan burgers were tasty, but maybe a bit pricy looking at the portion size.

Tasty vegan burgers and pancakes - Edit
This spot was a highlight for our vegan food tasting in Japan. While the food is a bit expensive, it was delicious and great to know we could be confident the food was vegan.

That was a highlight!! - Edit
I really liked the coziness of the place and the combination of western influences and Japanese authenticity. They also have a great understanding of what makes food really good - temperature and texture variety.

Good but expensive - Edit
Staff are super friendly, the food options are good, and I give the chain 5 stars for being fully vegan, but … the food is ok - satisfying but not outstanding.

Must visit - Edit
All vegan, delicious food. We tried two kinds of burger (one with delicious chilli on it). Both were yum, a bit messy to eat. We also had fries and the pancakes - yum! Good drinks options and friendly staff.

Highlight of my Tokyo stay - Edit
This place was definitely a highlight for me, travelling to Japan for the first time and being a bit shocked about the difficulties of finding vegan food there. One day I specifically looked for a good vegan place and came to Ain Soph. I was not disappointed! The food was deliciouuuus (I had a chili cheese burger), the staff the absolute sweetest. They advertised their soy cheesecake that day, which I had to try for dessert of course. Vegan cheesecake is always hard to find and this one was just so good! When I had my first bite, our sweet waiter stood near the table watching my reaction and was so cheerful and happy to see me enjoy it. That was super cute!

Excellent food and menu - Edit
They offer several great options on the menu, both when it comes for food and for dessert. The menu is both in English and Japanese and the staff speaks English. The food is on the pricier side but it's worth it. All dishes tasted fresh and were well-made. The pancakes with ice cream was especially delicious!

Nice Curry - Edit
This place had a very nice atmosphere and the staff were friendly! It's a bit expensive, so we just got the green curry, which was nice! I'd like to try more next time.

Good options when available - Edit
Ain Soph seems to limit the quantity of food they make each day. We got to this location 15 minutes after they opened for lunch and over half of the menu was “sold out.” What we did have was pretty good, but I was disappointed in the available options.

Cute and tasty - Edit
The restaurant is actually quite large inside and has a whole vegan menu!
Read moreI ordered the burger and it was quite flavorful with the onions (was thinking about the salad because I wanted some veggies, but the price was too steep and the same price as the burger). I also ordered the pancakes with fruits. Sadly, the proportion of pancakes to ice cream was off (not enough ice cream!). The server was nice and spoke English too😄
