what can i say? my favorite place in the world. - Edit
i do have a personal bias for ain soph, but i returned here after two years and the food is as good and comforting as it always is. coming here was like coming home, seriously. i love everything about the food here, and the pancakes are as out of this world as they were a few years ago (i rushed in to eat it, you'll have to believe that i ate it lol). truly a wonderful experience every time. the place is a bit pricey but if you can afford it, i highly recommend it. i got the pasta pesto, the karaage, the salad, and the pancakes to share with my non vegan friend. all so yummy.

Incredible! - Edit
Heavenly pancakes were exactly that! Whipped cream was soy based which was such a nice treat because it didn’t taste like coconut. Mac and cheese was also fantastic. Beautiful, spacious restaurant. Would go back a million times.

Nice but overpriced - Edit
It’s okay. It’s a really nice place and the food arrived really quickly, like maybe within 5 minutes so that’s always a plus
Read moreI had the pasta bolognese and hummus.
You can get a better bolognese at Komeda is… in Ginza. The bread was fresh and the hummus was mid
I’d probably come again to try some other stuff

Amazing food! - Edit
Had the teriyaki chicken with rice and avocado cream. Was amazing. Would definitely eat it again. Also had the mac and cheese wich were nice. The creme brule and the pudding were a bit too tasteless for me. But the main dish was so awesome that i have to give 5 stars.

Good vegan burgers and basics - Edit
If you’re looking for vegan versions of Japanese dishes or something fancy, this isn’t really it. But it’s solid, tasty, and reliably all vegan! Options include burgers, soy cutlets, and teriyaki - and big pancakes for dessert! I also really enjoyed the tea.

Burger love - Edit
Zum Abschluss meiner Reise hier einen sehr guten Burger gegessenen. Leider war für meinen Geschmack die Pommes übersalzen. Als Nachtisch, kam leider direkt beim Burger essen, ein Eis mit Espresso. Der war solide.

Great desserts - Edit
The mains are good, a bit pricey given the portion size, but at least it leaves room for dessert such as the heavenly pancakes! We had the seasonal pancakes and they were incredible.

Stunning - Edit
I have been to 2 other branches (Kyoto and another in Tokyo) and the food here is just as delicious as the others. There’s loads of seating in this branch. Service excellent, and the food is delicious. All of the Ain Soph’s are guaranteed a great eat!

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.

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.

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!

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.
