Good burger

Easy to reach, but very small store in a side street.
The there is not so much choice but you can differentiate between double patty (homemade patty) and cheese.

The fries were unfortunately not crispy but it has already fit.

Very nice place

This place was perfect for us. We've grown a crawing for some non-japanese food now by the end of the trip and these burgers really hit the spot.
I had the Superior Burger with fries and ended with an icecream with cherry chip.
The burger was not too much, I really enjoyed the taste of the bun and patty. The cherry chip was amazing! Highly recommend for sharing if your not too stuffed.
Almost everything is made from scratch which I find very impressive.
Also friendly staff that speaks good english!
5/5.

Delicious, fast and worth its money!

Fully vegan menu, with nearly everything being made by hand in the shop itself.
Take out has been packaged in sustainable packaging. Everything was just perfect!

Stellar Burgers

One of the best burgers I’ve had and I’ve had mannnyyyy. Everything was seasoned well and flavors were unique but classic at the same time. I loved the fries as well since they reminded me of in n out fries which I adore. Milkshake was also good and the atmosphere was cozy. It is a little bit of trek to get to but worth it and you get to see neighborhood along the way

Simply delicious

I had the Superior Burger with a double patty. It was delicious in every sense.
The seasonal special milkshake was an Oreo milkshake. It was very rich. I don't know how many Oreos they used, but I loved it!

Pros: Burger, Milkshake

The best burgers so far

Finally came to this burger shop! My boyfriend and I absolutely loved their food- burgers, chips, ice cream and milkshake. Next time I’ll definitely order the double burger.

Current favorite vegan burger

I loved the homemade patty and vegan cheese. The burger tasty and juicy but the real star was the vegan ice cream with peanut butter bites. I'm still thinking about this meal to this day.

Pros: Tasty homemade patty, Good quality ingredients, Amazing dessert

Cons: Very small restaurant

Very good burger and shake!

Had the Ontario burger and the seasonal melon shake! 😋
Very yummy but I personally like the more juicy burgers with lots of sauce from 2foods. I love that they offer vegan milk shakes which are still soo rare in Japan!!

A must visit for everyone in Tokyo

Great Lakes Tokyo is just off a main road in a small side street but not too difficult to get to. The shop is clean and cute. The staff were kind and the menu is in both English and Japanese. I had the double Michigan burger with fries and a vanilla milkshake. The portion size of the burger and fries were great. The milkshake was absolutely delicious. I wish it would have been bigger but I think it's probably best it's not too big. They have 2 milkshake flavors: vanilla and a speciality flavor that changes. I left totally satisfied and with a full belly.

After eating at Great Lakes, I definitely plan on coming back every time I'm back in Tokyo.

Pros: excellent food, nice atmosphere , easy to locate

Cons: limited shake flavors

Incredible vegan burger

Really tasty food, I had the Ontario burger, with burger sauce and lots of fresh veggies. The patty was very savoury and the tater tots were delicious as well!

Solid Burger Place

Got lunch here, had the Michigan burger and the Ontario burger. The patty itself was incredible, especially since it was house-made. The tatertots were very good as well! There's not a lot of seating if you come with a large group (like many places in Tokyo) but it wasn't super busy when we went for lunch.
Not the absolute best burger I've had in Tokyo (that goes to 2foods), but I'll definitely be back!
Would've loved to try a milkshake but the only flavor they had when we went was melon, which didn't interest me.
**edit: have since been back to try the pumpkin spice milkshake and it was to die for. check their facebook page for updated seasonal flavors

Great burgers and tots

Burgers are simple but delicious. Love the option of 3 sides. Bottled beers were varied with a few drafts on tap. Tomato sauce, ketchup and 2 types of hot sauce available.

Delicious plant based burgers made from scratch.

Great Lakes was a little hard to find because it was down an alley the proprietors were friendly and spoke English very well. The burgers are customizable and the restaurant states on their menu that life is too short to eat something you don’t like.

Pros: Delicious food , Great staff, In house products

Cons: Closed at 7:30pm, A little hard to find

Delicious Vegan Burgers

Exquisitely savory with a genuine touch of American authenticity, these burgers also delightfully cater to the vegan palette! They are beautifully complemented by thoughtfully paired sauces. The homemade patties won't disappoint, showcasing a superior quality. Moreover, the matcha shake stands out as the best matcha-infused creation I've experienced this month. Complemented by the courteous staff, this spot comes highly recommended!

Can’t wait to go back

Excellent lunch here! The burgers are phenomenal. The homemade patties, cheese and sauces are delicious. Also can’t forget that bun- whoa! I wish they had one of these in my hometown in the U.S.!
Nice touch having Lithuanian beer available as my family is from Cleveland, on a Great Lake (Erie) and my family is Lithuanian. 😊
Super friendly host/chef who also speaks English.

Great restaurant!

A small restaurant located in a side street. The burger was very tasty and the employee was up for a little chat. I would come right back when I'm around.

Pros: Tasty burgers, Friendly staff, Cozy

Cons: The side dishes could be bigger, Not exactly cheap compared to local restaurants
