Perfect meal to end a travel day - Edit
This place is on the 8th floor of the Lumine EST food court in Shinjuku Station. You might need to walk through all the tables to find it in the back corner like we did. I had to look at the reviews here to finally find this place!
Read moreThe ramen and gyoza were delicious and sooo satisfying after a long travel day. It was also the only place with good vegan ramen that we saw in the area that was open past 7:30 PM. It cost $20 USD for 2 bowls of ramen and 10 gyoza. Pretty awesome.

Tasty ramen - Edit
Really liked the soy milk ramens we got at ippudu. It is on the 8th floor and feels a bit like a hidden gem. I found it to be reasonably priced. My favourite was the spicy ramen, and the gyoza was good also. They have an English menu behind the counter and you are able to customise at the end, they have free pickles, sesame seeds, fresh ginger, chilli etc. Would recommend if you are in the area

Best vegan ramen ever - Edit
From the first time the Ippudo chain launched their Vegan Akamaru for a limited time, I always hoped they would put it permanently in their regular menu. Sadly it didn’t happened, but at least they put it permanently here.
Read moreI’ve tried many vegan ramen, but this is the best one. Gyozas are also good.

Delicious ramen! - Edit
Spicy ramen was full of flavour, absolutely delicious. On the spicy side but left us wanting more. The vegetable ramen was very tame and equally nice. Tasty ramen too. Came in at around £25 for 2 for dinner.
Read morePros: Mainly vegan menu, Delicious spicy ramen, Quick service and inexpensive
Cons: Somewhat hard to find on the top floor

More Vegan Options than Non! - Edit
I laughed when my non-veg husband complained that there were only two options for him. 🤣 They have a special extra spicy 🌶️ 🥵 one right now that burned my face off (very good though, but seriously HOT!). The red and white one is good, too.

Tasty ramen, good price - Edit
There are 6 ramens on the menu, of which 4 are clearly marked as plantbased. 1 of them is standard sold out it seems (the one with 22 vegetables). However, the option I had was great too! Really rich broth and nice chewy ramen. I was satisfied after. Haven’t had the chance yet to try the gyoza. Maybe next time because it’s a place I’d like to go back to 🤩

Ippudo Steppin' Up their Plant Game - Edit
Ippudo has seen the value of offering plant-based options and they've recently opened up a "plant based studio" at their Lumine Est location. Now vegan ramen lovers can find another option in the grand city for their noods.
Read moreNote: the former Ippudo location at Lumine Est has closed and they've moved up to the 8th floor to open up this new, open concept restaurant offering plant based ramen.
The restaurant is a bit misleading as they still sell two types of tonkotsu ramen, but also have three kinds of vegan ramen prepared with a soy milk base, as well as vegan gyoza. I ordered the White Plant-Based Ramen (¥990) with a side of gyoza at the counter. They give you a number and will buzz you once it is ready.
The ramen here was everything I remembered Ippudo to be, just with a plant-based twist. I was very happy with the hearty bowl of ramen - firm noodles, mushroom used to emulate cha-siu, and all the crushed garlic and sesame seeds you'd like to include to amp up your meal.
Super happy with how this all turned out and am grateful that we're starting to see more vegan ramen options be available in Tokyo. Thanks Ippudo, you have my respect. Now if you can make the menu completely plant-based then that would be great!
Pros: Vegan ramen and gyoza options, AYCE garlic and sesame seeds toppings, Open seating
Cons: Not fully plant-based menu

Good ramen broth - Edit
The vegan ramens (both red and white) were good. The broth was especially tasty. The noodles were a little too soft for me. Also the toppings were very good in flavor but lacked texture. I would have preferred some soy meat that could be bitten into.

Soy milk overcooked and split - Edit
Disappointed that a 'plant based' ramen restaurant would serve ramen with the soy milk split... I still enjoyed the flavour, but I can't recommend anyone to come here because of this.
Read moreMaybe I will come back to try again some day but for now, disappointed.

Plant-Based Options - Edit
I'm quite happy that Ippudo got such positive feedback on their plant-based ramen that they decided to expand their options in a new store. I do think, however, that the name is quite confusing. It is not a fully plant-based restaurant, as there are meat options. I question their naming choice, as it might upset customers expecting fully plant-based options, while at the same time keep other customers who would not want to eat at a plant-based restaurant. Hopefully this doesn't affect them business-wise, as it is a great step forward in Japan.
Read moreWe ordered the white ramen, the red ramen, and the gyoza. They were very good. The staff, however was a bit standoffish, and unfortunately that put my dining experience in a slightly negative light. I will go back and give it a try again though.

Solid option for a quick Ramen - Edit
It's a good option if you have meat eaters with you. It's super easy accessible at Shinjuku station, so good for a fast snack after work/before cinema or leaving by train to wherever...

Delicious ramen - Edit
I really enjoyed the red plant based ramen at Ippudo. Very tasty and a bit of a unique flavour compared to the other vegan ramen’s available in Tokyo. The location was good, seating was like a spacious food court, and everything looked brand new.
