Speechless - Edit
A woodsy, jazzy atmosphere welcomes you in a quiet place, extremely traditional and yet contemporary.
Read moreThe food is fanstatic, you’ll enjoy even the small slice of pickled carrots. Also, try one of the cakes of the day, We had the pleasure of eating the matcha cartone cake and it was so delicious that We had ordered a second portion.
Plus, it’s connected to a small minimarket (non Vegan) where you can buy delicious matcha and handmade reusable menstrual pads.

Traditional and very delicious! - Edit
I love their tempura (main dish). It’s very traditional with miso soup and pickles etc, so it is very popular amongst the people here in Nezu.

Excellent - Edit
We went en route to Ueno Park. Lovely to sit in with tables big enough for our group of 6, friendly staff and great food. I had the lunch set and bought a piece of cake to take away. Both delicious! It's tucked away behind an organic food store if you're worried you're at the wrong place!

Charming atmosphere and great food - Edit
The lunch special is filling, tasty, well-priced, healthy and fast. The atmosphere is quiet and perfect for a quick meal alone or for a date. Really amazing place over all and one of the places I’d consider taking friends who visit from out of town.

Great set lunch - Edit
Had a very satisfying higawari set lunch featuring vegetable tempura and rich soup. The seating is a bit sparse so youay have to share a table with others but that led to some chance encounters. The dessert wasn't for me, a bit dry but overall well worth the price and travel to seek out this hole in the wall.

Delicious food - Edit
My husband and I sought out this tiny restaurant specifically because it serves only vegan food. It did not disappoint. We loved everything we ordered, and my husband even enjoyed the tea, even though he is not a tea person. Would recommend.

Wonderful - Edit
The food is super delicious and the miso is completely homemade. The staff has some English and it was easy to communicate. The spring roll is super yummy and crunchy, would definitely go again to try their other specials if I was in the area again. The price for the quantity of food is also very good. And a nice feature is the refills of rice and tea with the lunch special.
Read moreThe location is decently easy to find, tucked in a side street on a busy intersection.
Pros: Vegan, Friendly staff, Free tea refills

Quiet Spot Near Ueno Park - Edit
My partner and I went here after a (very hot) walk around the park and we absolutely loved it. The atmosphere was very cozy and we enjoyed our curry and rice ball lunch sets. The cashew cake dessert was small, but yummy, and the iced coffee was perfect after adding some of the provided soy milk and maple syrup. The woman in charge spoke minimal English, but we had no trouble communicating and she was very sweet. If you’re trying to find the cafe using gps or a map, note that it’s on a tiny side street, which initially may make it more difficult to locate.

Quaint and calming cafe - Edit
This cafe was one of my favorite places to eat in Tokyo. My hubs and I found this place in the back of a small organic market. There were several locals in the cafe, which is one of our fav indications that we are about to eat at a good restaurant. There was an English menu, though we decided to try the daily lunch offering. There were potato croquettes, several sides, pickles, soup, and more! This was SO delicious and the included tea was also a great touch.

Hidden place with good food and nice interior - Edit
2-3 lunchsets plus sides and desserts. Yummy vegan food in reasonable price, English menu available and tastefully decorated interior. Service a bit slow and shy, but that’s a cultural thing I suppose.

Nice Café with good food - Edit
The café in the back of the Nezu no Ya shop is a nice place to spend a quiet time (when outside of rush hour)
Read moreThe today's menu we had was a real joy to see. Very nice Japanese traditional menu experience, yet completely vegan. A perfect example how local traditions and compassion for good food can be kept without the need for animal exploiting.
The staff was very friendly. She explained us the menu and the idea behind, how the replace a traditional fried fish with fried lotus root and a nori sheet to replace the skin. Cool, something to try at home on a Sunday :-)
The price is ok. The portion size is adequate to local standards (read too small for me).
I was a bit disappointed by the the extra options. My large portion rice (+100yen) seemed hardly more then my partner's and cafe+cake set(+350 yen) was good, but more the size of a food tasting sample.
All in all, I recommend this place very much and will go there again when I get the chance.

Food for the soul - Edit
Forget chicken soup, this is the real deal if you want food that fills your heart. We had mock meat chicken "kara-age" style, and organic lemon as garnish. The pickles on the side complemented the dish beautifully. The restaurant is small, seating about 16 people, but it brought me memories of traditional Japanese cuisine that mothers make, with miso soup and brown rice is the center peice of every meal. Each bite was a celebration of what food should and can be. When you're done with your meal, I recommend taking a stroll around the neighborhood. It's a quiet area that has a certain gracefulness to it.

Authentic, auspicious and amazing food. - Edit
Tucked neatly behind an organic produce shop, Nezu Noya vegan restaurant is a treasure.
Read moreWe had spent the morning in Ueno park (hence the photos) and made our way here on foot. The set lunch menus are inexpensive, abundant and nourishing. The seasonal veggie curry was delicate and the daily special were pumpkin croquettes, exceptionally tasty and crispy.
The staff are delightful, attentive and respectful

Cute and cozy - Edit
A cute restaurant with a nice and cozy atmosphere. We only stopped for dessert and coffee and tea, but the savory items on the neighboring tables looked really good too! The sesame kinako cake could have used a little more flavor for me, but my husband loved it. The tea and coffee were excellent!

Lovely atmosphere. Reasonably priced for a very generous serving. Very flavoursome traditional Japanese lunch. I particularly loved the seasoning on the brown rice. I would highly recommend getting a dessert as well. The staff were very nice too.

Great find - Edit
Small restaurant and organic food shop in a lively neighbourhood in Tokyo. The greens, the potato salad, the miso, the tofu... everything was beautifully cooked and flavoursome. One of the best meals in Japan.

Favourite place in Tokyo! - Edit
This place was just so good. In a quiet but interesting part of the city, it wasn't packed with tourists but there were plenty of locals. The lunch set was incredible: my first vegan tempura was so good as was the rest of the lunch set. The lady serving was so friendly and made us feel very welcome.

Cosy and tasty - Edit
This was a perfect place to experience a smaller town, cosy atmosphere with very friendly service and delicious, reasonably priced food. Easy to find from the Nezu metro stop and well located for exploring the Ueno Park, museums and Yanaka neighbourhood. One of my favourite places in Tokyo I have tried on this trip.

Delicious and very nice atmosphere - Edit
We tried the daily menu and share two different cakes with a friend. The food was very good, shojin ryori (buddhist cuisine) style, with large portions for about 1500 yens (+ 200 yens with the cake of the day). Tasty, healthy, and great to eat for the first time a vegan "unagi" (eel) made from lotus root and flour. The place was also very nice, and the area -- Nezu -- is great too. I recommend this place and am looking forward to try it again!
