Taste at its best

We ordered food home from Uber Eats - the taste , the food and the quantity was amazing - loved the food, almost everything is no garlic and onions - and will surely re-order.

Pros: Lots of options - even suitable for Indian Jain’s

Cons: No flip sides

Amazing

We went two nights in a row because it was so good. The staff were so friendly and no issue with a language barrier as there english was great. The food was so tasty. Would highly recommend the Gyoza, tofu and soy sweet chilli curry and the soy sweet and sour. Everything was fresh and nothing was less than delicious.
Must go for those seeking out vegetarian options.

Very tasty food and very friendly staff

Cozy restaurant with a livingroom feel. Owners made me feel right at home. Multilingual staff spoke in Japanese, English and Chinese to me, probably know more languages. Very tasty food, I got a free dessert (allergy-free apple) which was very kind. Highly recommended. Reasonable prices.

Pros: Almost fully vegan, Very friendly staff, Reasonably priced

Cons: No cons at all!

Authentic Chinese Style Food

Technically Taiwanese, but I lived in China and was craving some good authentic Chinese food and this place really hit the spot. It was delicious 😋 I ordered the mushroom and broccoli dish and the jiaozi. I really enjoyed my meal and the staff was all really friendly. They asked my dietary preferences when I came in. They are familiar and accommodating to vegans. Great experience 👍😀

Savoury Asian delights

This restaurant is located in a long single ground floor unit on a quiet street. It appeared to be closed on arrival but we were let in. The staff are friendly and very helpful speaking some English. Decor is plain and practical, the kitchen appears clean and tidy.

There was a new menu when we visited so the menu we were presented had some items unavailable. The focus is on savoury Asian dishes, pizzas were no longer on the menu so expect only Asian food.

We ordered a variety of dishes all of which were delicious and served in good time. Presentation is ordinary in line with the decor. The sour soup was the best I’ve had and the potato curry was also excellent as were spring rolls, gyoza and mock meats. Portion sizes are good, so be careful not to order too many dishes unless you are very hungry.

Highly recommend a visit if you really appreciate tasty Asian cuisine. Best to sit further away from the kitchen and it’s fumes.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Excellent food standard, Good portions

Cons: Kitchen poorly ventilated

Great service, low cost

This little family-run restaurant was such a great surprise. The whole menu is vegetarian with many vegan options. The food was fresh and super tasty. We had the gyoza, mapo tofu and sweet and sour dishes and they were all delicious. The waitress was lovely and so polite. She also spoke perfect English, which was a bonus for translating to the older couple operating the kitchen. Our whole dinner was super easy on the wallet as well- just one more incentive to go! Highly recommend!

Pros: Great service, Great food (and so many options), Excellent price

Lo mejor que encontré en Japón

Todo realmente rico. Sus platos eran una delicia. Fue todo un descubrimiento, el día que mejor comí en el país nipón. Los platos son elaborados con mimo y dedicación. No saben inglés pero hacen lo posible para entenderte, te prestan mucha atención.

Pros: Barato, Comida muy buena, Personal muy agradable

Cons: No saben inglés, pero intentan entenderte.

We have been in Asia for 8 weeks, and this is the best food I've had (tied with one other place in Vietnam). This is one of the best places I've been to period. Amazing food, friendly owners. Go here. Now.

Pros: Almost 100% vegan. Non vegan stuff marked.

Pros: Deep fried skewers

Cons: Waiting time for deep fried skewers

A must go!!!

This is by far the best vegan spot in Tokyo!! So many options and large portion sizes for a ridiculously cheap price! The woman who owns this is so lovely and welcoming and it was nice to watch her make the food in front of you. Came here at least 3 times in a week, a must visit!!!

Pros: Amazing value , Great food , Large portion sizes

The best restaurant in Tokyo

When you enter the restaurant, located on a second floor, looks like you are entering the house of someone. This someone is a wonderful woman, who cooks amazing vegetarian and vegan food and also speaks really good English. It is also cheap and you also don't get small portions! You can see how she cooks everything in front of you. We ate here four times in four days!! The dumplings, the sticky rice (it has a name that I don't remember) and the mayo eggplant were incredible😄 Be aware that from September on they will move to another location, but the name will be the same.

Pros: Everything (location, food, service, price)

Cons: Nothing

Great prices!

So many options, all for great value! The portions are good, most of the meals are around 580¥ and you can add rice and soup for an additional 150¥. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the soup, but I had the chilli sauce with tofu and soy meat which was good, and the gyoza are amazing! The owner is so nice and helpful, they even offer a vegan/vegetarian map of Tokyo which was such a great find! Comfy and spacious seating area, good vibes all around :)

Pros: Lots of options, Good service, Great prices

Cons: Side soup not my favourite😄

Fantastic little restaurant which is mostly vegan. Really affordable prices!!!

I was finding it difficult to find vegan and gluten free food in Japan until I stumbled across this place. I had lots of food here to make up for what I’d missed!! Great food and friendly staff. Menus are also in English and the staff speak several languages to help you out. Highly recommend!!!

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Friendly staff , English speaking and English version of menu

THE BEST

So tasty so cheap! I had veggie soup for 290¥ and 6 dumplings was 380¥. The chef was so friendly and spoke wonderful English asking if I was studying and how long I’ve been here. Food is delicious and just left of the train station. Cannot fault

Pros: So many vegan options!, Great English, Comfortable and cheap
