Great food and service

We had a satisfying meals here. The servings were a decent size (not always the case in Japan) and the flavors very nice. I also really enjoyed the lemon dessert. The service was really friendly and the food came out quite quickly too.

A hidden gem !!!

I got the buckwheat chocolate pancakes without much high expectations but they blew my mind! They were unexpectedly moist & so delicious, and the soy milk based whipped cream honestly tasted like normal whipped cream. My meat-eater dad & sister both got the bibimbap, and they loved their order too:)

Tasty all vegan place

Liked the atmosphere, I went there for lunch time, still plenty of seats available. I had the creamy tomato pasta with vegan cheese, as well as a side of a few chicken pieces as I wanted to try them. They tasted a bit bland, or maybe could be made crispy. The pasta was very good.

Perfect desserts.

The sweets were amazing. I WILL come back. It was fast and savory.
The proportions were really good, too. I even ordered too much thinking I would still be hungry.

The "chicken" in itself was basic but the sauce was good.

As for the desserts, the cream filling was soooo good. Lemon-flavored for the tiramisu and vanilla for the parfait.

I had never tasted those "anime maid"-type of desserts before and thought I would never, since I'm vegan, but I finally experienced it! 😭😭🧡🧡 Thank you!

Pros: Tastes so good, Filling proportions

Ko-So

It was nice to have a vegan protein option, but I was underwhelmed by the flavors. The Korean meat plate was OK, but I wasn’t expecting tomato paste flavor (more like Italian flavor rather than Korean). The 18 vegetable curry was not really for me, it had a bitter flavor.

Absolutely amazing

Very large selection of available vegan food. I enjoyed the plant-based chicken bowl with rice and salad, which was just like a home-made food. Very healthy and also very affordable for Shibuya!
Also absolutely loved the desert parfait 💗
This place definitely deserves more recognition!
They also offer gluten free dishes!

So much flavour!

If I could bottle up the salad dressings and the soup I would. Honestly don’t know what they did to it but each had so much flavour. The salad was decent but the dressings took it to a whole new level

Nice Ambiance, Tasty Food, but Small Portions

Ko-So Cafe is a chill spot with warm ambiance in Ebisu. Perfect for a small group or a date.

I got a risotto, which was tasty, but rather small for the price. The cost is a bit of a deal breaker for regular visits, but I'd maybe eat here again if I was already in the area.

The location makes Ko-So a good companion visit for the Weller vegan konbini near by. Definitely check that out if you want a glimpse into the vegan shopping future!

Great!

Cute, small restaurant with cozy interior. The restaurant is easy to find and the staff were very friendly and attentive.

We had brown rice with salad and soy meat. The vegan meat was great and super juicy and perfectly seasoned. I can highly recommend it!!

Unfortunately the oven in the kitchen was broken and many dishes could not be prepared. Maybe next time!

For dessert we had coffee and a tiramisu cake. Very
tasty!

Pros: Super tasty and fresh , Great service , Cozy place

Cons: Small portion size

Healthy and simple

If you’re in the mood for a simple, healthy meal then this cafe is the perfect place. I tried a coconut infused curry with some fried soymeat as a topping and it really hit the spot.

The flavors are mild here but everything is really balanced and just nice.

I assume a lot of their business on weekdays comes from the nearby offices but note it does get crowded on the weekends and holidays so a reservation is recommend!

Not just vegan, but healthy

One word: Amazing.
Friendly staff, great choices and very tasty food that is healthy, but tastes just amazing. I had brown rice with soy meat sauted in a sweet spicy sauce and a small parfait as dessert with buckwheat pancakes.

Pros: Friendly staff, Easy to find, Great options

Cons: Portions a bit (!) small, Menu is a bit hard to understand sometimes

Had a really solid, tasty satisfying meal. Ordered the big spring roll and the Yurinchi and Korean chicken style set and the Tiramisu for dessert. Nothing out of the park, but all good. Very pleasant spot.

Small and Cozy

The location was nice for a coffee break but the cake slice was too small for the money and it also came frozen 🥲

Pros: Card Ok, Sugar Free Cakes

Cons: Quite Pricey for the Size, They serve the cakes almost frozen🥶

Tasty food

Went there for dinner. Juicy soy meats with scallion soy sauce were simply delicious. Veggie curry could be spicier. If you add the shop LINE account, you’ll receive some coupons you can use for the next time. I got a glass of sweet ko-so soda for free.

Came back to this place for dinner. I got Korean spicy chicken plate and tiramisu. Soy chicken marinated with gochujang was super good.
