Vegan ramen worthy of 5 stars! ⭐️

Initially hard to locate. It’s on the 8th floor (at the north end) of Lumine East, attached to the Shinjuku train station. Was able to walk-in and join a short line (only a couple people ahead of me) to order. Fast service. The cashier spoke some English and could confirm that the dishes I selected were vegan. They only have two vegan ramen options and a vegan side dish (gyoza).

Ordered the Special Silk-smooth Veggie Tonkots MIRATon ramen (vegan) and gyoza. Both of which were very delicious! The pork substitute meat included in the ramen wasn’t my favorite but my partner really enjoyed it, so could be a personal preference.

Very Smoky Flavor

Pork Substitute (seemed to be tofu based) had a very strong smoky flavor that wasn’t for me, might be good for others tho. They have 2 options for vegan ramen bowls and vegan goyzas and noodles as well. Ordering is super

Delicious!

The ramen was great! Creamy, delicious and flavorful! Highly recommend! Vegan options are clearly mentioned however there’s no English menu. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. The gyoza’s were okay but wouldn’t order then again, the ramen were the star of the show for me.

Pros: Delicious, Cheap

Cons: No English menu

Vegan ramen

Got the 2 vegan ramen options, both fine, I would say a 6/10, the creamy one was a little better! Enjoyed the gyoza’s 7/10 . I have had better ramen in Japan but still a great option for us vegans

This is a great ramen chain that has a vegan ramen option that is pretty good. I definitely recommend you check it out since ramen is one of my go to meals.

Good ramen

It has different vegan options! Nice place and good food. It’s in the 8th floor of the mall (it was a bit hard for me to find it). The ramen was good, I especially liked the fact it also had some protein, the plant base tonkatsu

Decent Ramen

On the top floor of the Lumine Shinjuku department store. This location has a couple of vegan ramen soups. The one I had was decent, maybe 3.5 out of 5. The place is a little fast foodish. You pay at the counter, they give you a pager and you come pick up your ramen when it’s ready. I’d go back if I didn’t have other places I wanted to try while I was here.

Great vegan ramen

Very good vegan ramen. Two options, plus vegan gyoza. Do yourself a favour and get the takeaway ramen packs to make at home, it’s next level good.

Decent ramen

I thought it was decent ramen. Wasn’t really a fan of the plant based meat in it. Wouldn’t go out of my way for it but would have it if in the area

Great option when you’re with someone who isn’t vegan!

Wanted to get a vegan ramen but my partner isn’t vegan- he’s happy to eat vegan but I also try not to force him (give him options) so this was perfect for both of us! Long neck beers too

Just okay

It's an average spot, best saved for when you're really in need of a meal. In my opinion, Ippudo in the US offers a much better experience.

Closing Time disappointment

We were looking for vegetarian dinner options in Lumine Est, at 840 pm at night & found Ippudo in HC. Excited & in anticipation of a great meal, my husband and I trekked out 20 mins by foot (after a long day of sightseeing) to the restaurant. The closing time stated on both Google & HC was 10 pm - we arrived at 9.33 pm, and were turned away at the door. Why state that your opening hours are until 10 pm, in multiple places, when you don't take orders after 9.30 pm. For travellers who are unfamiliar with the place, this is an extremely poor experience.

Pros: Promising vegetarian menu

Cons: Misleading opening hours

Good ramen!

They have three different kinds of ramen and gyoza. We tried the kontatsu ramen and it was really good. The soup is creamy and flavorful. The location is set inside a mall in shinjuku (lumine est) in the top floor!

A few ramen options - misleading name though

I'll start with the name. I feel like calling a restaurant a plant based studio implies that you're a plant based restaurant. I appreciate this may be their branch with the most plant based options but I'm still not on board with the name!

The food. There were 3 options for vegan ramen and a side of vegan gyoza. My partner and I both went for the vegan tonkotsu and enjoyed the dish. The broth was rich and creamy (as I believe a tonkotsu should be) and we enjoyed the flavour a lot. There were a couple of big slices of fried tofu which I enjoyed. They weren't really close to any sort of mock meat texture but they were tasty. The other toppings were generally fine, adding a bit of texture. I wasn't a big fan of the big piece of tomato though. As always, there were plenty of tasty noodles.

The gyoza were fine. They didn't have a huge amount of flavour so a dip in the sauce felt necessary.

YUM!!!!

The vegan tonkotsu ramen was delicious!! The soup in particular is fantastic. The gyoza were good too. Nice seating area, very friendly staff, free water AND iced rooibos tea served in human-sized cups! Loved my meal here ❤️
