A bit expensive but tasty

Lots of vegan options on the menu. I had the shitake burger, which came with a decent amount of fries and it was delicious. The staff was lovely and so was the ambient and the music. Burger is 1800, which felt a bit expensive..

Get the vegan rancheros!

Absolutely delicious, albeit pricey. Staff all speak English and there are multiple vegan options on the menu that sounded amazing.

adding a review now cuz i forgot when i was in japan

this place honestly deserves 5 stars, shame theyre not fully vegan. the staff were super friendly americans who made the experience cooler cuz they were just so enthusiastic! the food was some of the best i had in japan, they have a biggg burger that goes dummy hard and they also have some tacos or something lite that my girl got that goes hard. one time my girl n i were so hungry at the muji hotel in ginza and then we decided to make our way down to blu jam b4 it closed so we called and they made our food so that we could just pick it up when we got there. super cool place. last dinner in tokyo was a feast yuherdd.

Best Breakfasts!

This is perfect if your craving something a little more greasy and savory. Amazing hangover food. Decent portion sizes. A little pricey but worth it in my opinion.

tasty and the menu has a lot of variety

I've been twice and I've tried the vegan rancheros, vegan spicy tex mex, tea latte with soymilk, vegan cheesecake and Day of the Dead beer. The drinks and rancheros were especially good.

One thing I noticed was that portion sizes vary. The rancheros weren't that big but the tex mex and cheesecake had really large portion sizes. I really wished I had someone to share the cheesecake with. So if you are looking for a place with larger portion sizes, this could be it...

It's really good and I'll visit again soon.

Edit: I tried an iced latte (I think) with almond milk, which was tasty, and the vegan burger. The burger tasted good, but the fries had a lot of oil and so did the fried tofu on the burger. I liked everything but I felt very sick after. I think it would be good if they drained the oil off the fries more. This item is not for me but I'll gladly go back again for the vegan rancheros.

Good options, little too greasy

Few good vegan options. Wonderful friendly staff. I ordered the 100% vegan burger, good size and concept - although way too greasy for me.

Little pricey. Restaurant does serve meat

Pros: Good options

Cons: Little pricey

Something different

Blu Jam is a good idea if you need an easy dining experience - it’s got a very western vibe to it, staff speak English very well and the food is absolutely on point.

They have a lot of vegan options and the soft tacos, rancheros and tofu & sauerkraut Ruben were incredible.

Popped into the cafe when passing to see if they had any options for lunch and what a gem I found ! In fact they had so many vegetarian and vegan options I had to ask the waitress to decide for me !
I had the tex mex it was so tasty and such a big portion ! The menu had a wide variety of foods.
Staff were very friendly and spoke english. The breakfast menu looked great too !
English menu available.
Definitely recommend.

Pros: Plenty options , Friendly staff, Cosy atmosphere

Cons: Slightly pricey compared to typical Japanese lunch

Very Delicious and Good Portions!

Blue Jam Cafe was absolutely delicious! I would definitely give it a 5-star rating if it was fully vegetarian/vegan! Their menu has a variety of options for vegetarians and vegans, and many items can be made vegan! I got the Granola Bowl and substituted the Vanilla Yogurt for Almond Milk and they were very happy to do so! Lovely staff and overall nice atmosphere! I would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Tokyo!!

Pros: Variety of Vegetarian/Vegan Options, Delicious Food, Good Service/Atmosphere

Cons: On the Pricey Side

Vegan comfort food

Blu Jam has a good variety of vegan dishes and craft beer. Definitely not the healthiest fare (lots of oil), but a good place to bring omni friends. I ordered the tofu reuben. It was alright, although the tofu could have been seasoned more. On the plus side, I got a huge amount of food for ¥1400. Worth checking out.

Pros: Good atmosphere, Several vegan options, Great beer

Highly Recommended

There are few places in Tokyo which cater to both vegans and omnis - and Blu Jam caters very well.

I can remember four vegan options (rancheros, tofu tex mex, tacos and a reuben). We tried the rancheros an the tofu tex mex and they were delicious, the flavours were great (and the hot sauce at the table was delicious!).

This place has a good atmosphere, all the staff speak fab English and it is in Daikanyama, a really nice neighbourhood to visit. Service was quick and although it was a little more expensive than some other places in Tokyo, compared to the U.K. or the U.S. this place was still fantastic value!

Pros: Caters for all diets, Delicious food, Great atmosphere

The BEST vegan brunch!!

It was the BEST brunch in my vegan life!
They have two Mexican inspired vegan dishes, Spicy Tofu TEX MEX and Rancheros.
We shared both of them and both were totally fantastic!
Those were full of flavor and taste real good!
If they didn't tell me, I would never notice those are vegan!
I'll definitely come to BLU JAM again soon!!

Soo Good!!!!

The food here is really good!! They only have 3 vegan dishes but the 3 that they have are amazing!! The Rancheros and The Spicey Tofu Tex Mex are there Mexican vegan dishes They use tofu as the main ingredient but they cook it with home made vegan sour cream and chipotle sauce so it have a lot of flavor to it. They also had vegan soup that looked really good. When I went it was green peas soup, It was amazing, but they said hey rotate out the soup so they may not have it when you go. I like how you can go with a group of vegans and none vegans since they have both selections on their menu.
