One of my favorite vegan restaurants

I often go to this restaurant and I cannot recommend it enough! The food is amazing (Hayashi rice is my favorite), the atmosphere relaxing and the staff is super kind.
There’s also a private room and if you spend more than 2000¥ you can book it even for 2 people.

Superb

Edit: I visited again in Jan 2023 and I stand by what I said before - pricey but sooo delicious.

The prices are high, so if you’re just looking for any old thing to eat, this place isn’t really for you. But the flavours are so subtle and good and I think this place is really perfect for people who are looking to have a really lovely vegan meal out. I had the “omelette”, tomato soup, soy meat pasta, chocolate fondue and waffles, and everything was just really nice. It’s the kind of meal you should take your time through, and enjoy the different flavours of the well-crafted food.

Great!

I got a cheese burger and I was astounded at the size - it would rival any of the American burgers I’m used to. The soy based patty wasn’t super impressive alone, but as a whole the burger was dang delicious. The restaurant itself was also SUPER cute and had a very cozy feel to it.

Ain Soph.Soar

I’ve eaten at all Ain Soph locations in Tokyo and find their ambience enjoyable, this location included. It’s definitely a great option in the area. Pancakes here are delicious and, I believe, this is one of their more popular dishes.

Very good and healthy food!

I love this place! I really like the karaage and soy ham cutlet. Salad lunch is sooo good with the onion dressing 😋
Tiramisu and cheese cake are my favorite. Also the pancake 🥞 with soy whip cream is really good.

nice and cosy place

Food was great and the place was peaceful as it wasn't crowded (on weekday night), so staff were a bit in a hurry to kick us out but they stayed very friendly:) will go back again.

So good and great atmosphere

Had lunch there with a friend yesterday and was really impressed by the quality of the food, the quality of service and the overall set up of the place. Very comfy and stylish at the same time.
Highly recommend

Famous for a reason

Since I don't usually like overhyped places, I visited Ain Soph with skepticism. However, both the atmosphere and food are awesome -- their signature burger is one of the best I've had in Tokyo.

Pros: Everything is vegan, Cozy, beautiful interiors, Tasty

Cons: A bit overpriced, Thin burger patties, Their French fries are meh

Very fine place

I went several time, never regretted it. There are many different type of seats: chair, sofa and big cushion place (hard to describe). It is a little crowded as there is not a lot of space between the tables (table are nicely sized). With small kids (less than 5yo) this can be a little difficult and there isn't much view so you can quickly feel locked inside.

The meals are nicely sized, usually as a European I want more from Japanese restaurant meals but here it is fine. The taste is great overall (the sponginess of their karaage didn't work with me, some salad/rice plates tasted bland to me, all the rest was delicious). The menu changed since me several visits so it might improved even further.

The staff is nice but maybe too busy with the size of the room when it is crowded. Going with friends/coworkers was great thanks to some very large tables.

Definitely a nice place to go if you are around Ikebukuro.

Pros: Food quality / Taste, Seat options / Room design

Cons: A bit pricey, Service when crowded, Not nice for small kids

Good burgers!

I tried the Ripple cheese burger, it was really good! Totally recommend. Comes with fries and the best jalapeño sauce I’ve had in my life.

Really good vegan burger

I ordered the classic burger, and veg chowder. Both were very tasty. The use of sauces really give a unique flavor.
The menu is more expensive than non-veg places, but every once in a while I'd say it's worth it.

Went for vegan Meetup event and loved it

Didn't order from the menu, just had a set meal of fries, burger, and matcha brownies. The last of which was pleasantly not too sweet and full of flavor with an amazing creamy whipped topping. Great atmosphere and service!

Edit: came another time in March 2021 and had a set menu. Really nice but cost can add up!

Cold service and cold food

I ordered Hayashi rice which was cold when served. Clam chowder and Karaage were hot.
Not at all interesting. Waste of time and money.
The service is also dry and cold.

The Hawaiian Blue Chocolate Mint Pancakes are to die for!!

First of all, I want to go back again just for the pancakes, which are seasonal, so get them ASAP! They came warm, dense, and oozing blue minty sauce. Literally the best pancakes I can remember ever having.

That being said, I love the elevated seating at the back of the restaurant, and reading the Happy Cow cookbook while waiting for my food.😄One of my favorite places in Tokyo!

Pros: Amazing pancakes! , Nice seating area , Vegan book selection

Cons: The service bell didn't work well
