Best Curry in Japan

Cozy resto, ran buy just one, the chef! Best curry we’ve ever tasted in Japan! Colorful, spicy, a melange of flavors and textures! It really hits the spot! A cool refuge on a rainy day or any day.

Pros: Curry flavor , Plating and colors , Ambiance, music

Cons: Waiting time when full as seats are limited

Wäre schön, wenn es komplett vegan wäre🤷🏼‍♀️

Vegane Gerichte wirklich fein gewürzt und mit Liebe zubereitet. Marinierter Tofu & Vegetable Curry waren ausgesprochen lecker. Portionen könnten größer sein. 1-Mann-Betrieb. Serviert leider Fleisch😒

Amazing spot!

Small restaurant that is run by just one man. The interior has beautiful vibe with sketchbooks & markers available to doodle. There are clear vegan & vegetarian options on the menu. I opted for the fried rice which was delicious! Food might be a bit slower to come out than in other restaurants- but trust that it’s worth the wait.

Very tasty

There were plenty options for vegan, i had the tofu which was amazing! And also the quesadilla, very good stringy cheese. More pricy than some other restaurants but as it is just one person running the place i understand.

Pros: Really cool and hip vibe, Posters of drag events everywhere, Tons of dry flowers hanging from the ceiling

Cons: The extractor hood in kitchen wasn't working good

Great hidden gem

A little tucked out of the way but it was a great experience after being turned away by a vegan restaurant up the road. The food was super flavourful and filling!

Pros: Flavourful curry, Inexpensive , Not many tourists/not busy

Cons: Music was a bit loud lol

Bad surprise

They have 4/5 vegan options, but what we absolutely didn’t like was the price of the plates, even in the menu the cost of our plates were 700¥, we paid them more than the double. No any reasonable justification from the staff

Curry vegano, pero necesita ventilación

El local es muy hipster situado en la segunda planta, caben 4 mesas.

Hay dos opciones veganas: plato de verduras variadas y curry muy picante.
También un postre de chocolate con ron.

Pedimos el curry, con 4 guarniciones y sopa de leche de coco, estaba rico pero es muy picante. El arroz un poco pasado, pero los encurtidos muy ricos.

El dueño muy simpático pero no tiene ventilación el local y sales oliendo mucho a comida. Incluso cuando llegamos había una gran humareda de la falta de extracción.

Aproximadamente 1500 yenes el plato


Obligatoriamente tienes que pedir bebida (que no sea agua)

Pros: Encurtidos ricos, Local con decoración interesante

Cons: Un poco caro, No hay ventilación y huele mucho a comida

Overrated

The food was fine but the menu they offer is pretty much just the same meal rearranged with different stuff added. The drink menu is very varied but drinks are limited to one pp. The location is good and the interior has sort of a hipster vibe to it but the toilet was tiny and the faucet barely worked. The place could also benefit from a new air con because the smell of fried food is quite heavy.
All in all I can't really recommend this place with so many other better options in the area.

Pros: Price, Location

Cons: Food, Facilities

Dissapointed main course, great dessert

Having read great reviews and looking to eat something different from the usual ramen I decided to try the curry. It tasted very sour and some of the veggies were not great. I had the mint-rum-chocolatecake as dessert and it was great!

Tasty

It was very delicious but the serving was a little bit to small. There are different vegan options on the menu. The vegan meals are labeled and there is also an english menu.

Cute owner and amazing food

Beautiful and cute restaurant operated by a sweet man that prepares everything on his own. We went there first to try the cake based on recommendation from others. He served it with a beetroot ice cream and it both tasted amazing. We also ordered the redwood chai tea which was the best chai tea I ever had! So rich of spices! Highly recommend to try it.

In fact we loved the cafe so much that we went there again for lunch we was also beautiful prepared and super tasty.

Full of flavor

While mostly vegan, there are only about 6 different types of food that you can get together or in different combos. Portions quite small. Really flavorful!

Pros: Almost exclusively vegan, Nice vibe

Cons: Options are limited

Very tasty

This was a great menu - it worked well for our children as well and we all really enjoyed the food. There’s only 1 meat dish on the menu (mutton), no fish, and most of the rest of the menu is vegan.

Pros: Lots of choice, delicious , English menu but not too touristy, Open all day

Cool place

I enjoyed the aesthetic of this place. I went at 6.30 on a Friday night and didn’t have to wait in a line so that was good.
Tempeh was really tasty

Delicious food in grungy surroundings

We really enjoyed our dinner here, everything on the plate was delicious. We got the curry plate and the falafel curry plate. The style of the place is very hipster/grungy with techno music.

Pros: Aromatic, delicious food , Quick service

Cons: Surroundings could be cleaner

Meat served here

I ordered the mixed noodle with hot spicy tomato peanut sauce, which was marked as “vegan-friendly.” It was delicious with a lovely presentation, actually surprising for the grungy interior of the place. It wasn’t too spicy, just a bit.

This place serves meat - there is a mutton dish on the menu. Other than that, an omelette, and the option of dairy milk in some of the drinks, the rest is vegan.

While it’s open until 11pm, last order is 10pm.

Wonderful surprise

We were struggling to find a restaurant that was still open, when Happy Cow directed us to Pelgag, a small place on the second floor of an inconspicuous building. The motley interior with concert flyers on the walls, random books on shelves and tables that encourage the guests to scribble on them, did not prepare us for some of the best food we’ve had in Japan. Truly exceptional and orginal dishes full of flavor and spices. The menu had about five or six vegan friendly options. Recommended!

Pros: Delicious flavor and spices, Good price

Cons: Limited seating
