High End Cost But Low End Taste

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👎🏾

Updated from previous review on 2025-11-09

Pros: Nicely cozy decor

Cons: Burger Patties were overly salty. , Bun wasn't grilled or even warm.

Good option

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

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!!

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.

Pros: Texture, Taste, Creativity

Good but expensive

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.
Might need to book in advance during peak periods.

Pros: Good options

Cons: Overpriced

Must visit

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.

Pros: Yum food, All vegan, Good variety of options

Cons: Not the cheapest

Highlight of my Tokyo stay

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!
Really really enjoyed our dinner and our time here, even my omni family loved the food!

Excellent food and menu

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!

Pros: Delicious food, Excellent service, Many options

Awesome

The place is so very cute and the food was really good. I didnt understand that my dish was kinda small but I had a salad as well and in the end it was a good portion together! We are going back!

Nice Curry

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.

This is a tasty burger

Extremely good and messy burgers. Mac and cheese was also great, along with the chili con carne fries. Highly recommend. Very good early lunch spot

Good options when available

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.

Pros: Good vegan options, Nice atmosphere

Cons: Menu sells out or is unavailable

Cute and tasty

The restaurant is actually quite large inside and has a whole vegan menu!
I 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😄

Pros: Ripple Cheese Burger

So good! All my non vegan group loved it too

I took a group of non vegans with me here, and they all loved it. Between us we had the burgers, soy cutltets, mac and cheese, soup, karage, chilli cheese fries and the pancakes.
Everything was delicious, definitely worth a visit.

There's plenty of tables with a relaxed glamping aesthetic.

Pros: Relaxed atmosphere , Can split the bill, Quick service

Best Burger in town

Very delicious burgers in just the right size. Chili Cheese Fries were really good, big portion, also.
The vegan Cheese Cake and Almond Brownie were the best desserts I‘ve ever had! 10/10 would eat again.

Pros: Vegan Brownie with almonds , Burgers
