Great food, not too hard to find - Edit
Unlike other reviewers I had an easy time finding Cafe Eight just by looking at a map. From the Nakamegura stop we walked up Yamata dori until we crossed over the water. Don't turn on that street, but go up one block and take a right. The restaurant is about a block and half away.
Read moreInside the restaurant was dimly lit, but cozy for a rainy night. I opted for the prix fix meal, which included a small sampler of 3 appetizers, a large portion of soup, a weird potato casserole that I found to be inedible, and a really delicious sandwich that came with a side salad. The salad dressing was really delicious. My partner ordered the vegetable curry which was fine, but not remarkable. Came with salad and yummy pickles. Overall the food was tasty and welcomed, but a little expensive. I don't know what was up with that potato casserole though.
They do sell some prepared food items like cookies. I picked up a pack of 3 sakura biscotti and was shocked that they were 700 yen each!
Pros: friendly staff, healthy cuisine
Cons: expensive

Amazing! - Edit
Cafe Eight is not as conveniently located as its sister location, Pure Cafe, but way tastier, and has a bigger menu. It's more of a restaurant than Pure as well. We visited back in April 2008, but can't wait to get back to Tokyo to try it again.
Read moreTo start, we had deep fried tempeh with avocado that was absolutely fantastic, and my mouth is watering just thinking about it! We shared some roasted veggies and a natto bowl as well. And another starter than I can't remember, but I'm sure it was good. All together with the bottle of organic Greek wine and a beer, it came to 9.000, so definitely the most expensive place we went to in Tokyo, but well worth it. We also had a chocolate tart there that was really nice, and the spicy carrot cake. Chocolate tarts seem to be a standard in Tokyo vegan establishments (we had three during our 4-day trip), but I can't complain.
This is a good place to go on a date or if you're just looking for some awesome vegan food. It was kind of hard to find, but this is one of my top veg restaurants in the world, so keep looking!
Pros: amazing food, friendly staff, nice atmosphere
Cons: a bit expensive , hard to find

disappointing - Edit
Went there for lunch but got there 3 minutes after the lunch orders finished. Do not rely on the map and don't expect to see a sign until you're 5 metres away.
Read moreStaff were not so friendly. Don't think I saw anyone smile there.
The curry was the standard curry you can buy at many vegetarian restaurants - even though I was told it was 'original'.
I had looked forward to visiting this new cafe eight, hopefully a night-time visit will be better.
Pros: nice interior, vegan
Cons: unfriendly, so-so menu during the day, small portions

Hard to find, but great food - Edit
They had the BEST sandwich I'd ever had on top of tons of options an English menu and good service. Don't trust the map on their web site though, this place is hard to find but doable if you ask the locals.

Cons: Hard to find, Bad Map
