Delicious ramen! - Edit
Visted on September 14, 2023. The ramen at T's Tantan is phenomenal. I had it for the first time in 2019, so I knew I had to come back for more during my next Japan trip. We ordered the black sesame tantan, golden sesame tantan, vegan char siu, and soy milk yogurt with strawberry sauce. The broth is so flavourful and the noodles were chewy. I was pleasantly surprised with the soy milk yogurt too!

Small, cosy and delicious - it's located in the metro station so you can see thousands of people passing by while you enjoy great meal in peace & quiet. Self-service at the machine

Finally got to try here! - Edit
Been waiting to try T’s Tan Tan for so long, couldn’t find the Tokyo station one last time we were here, passed through Ikebukuro on the way to Harry Potter studio tour so had the perfect opportunity.
Read moreYou order from the screen and receive a ticket. They immediately start marking your order and once it’s ready your number will come up on the screen and you hand your ticket to them when you collect your tray.
We got the Gold Sesame ramen with soy meat on the side which I added to the ramen and we made it into meal deal with dessert and entree on the side.
Ramen was delicious and super filling. The only downside is that this location didn’t have the gyoza here. 10/10 recommend though.
It’s located in the station just opposite Uniqlo when you get off the Yamanote line.

Lovely ramen - Edit
I ate here twice as I really enjoyed it and was super convenient as I was using the Yamamote line a lot.
Read moreAs per all station eats I think they can be hard to find! Some useful directions on other peoples reviews.
Use the vending machine to order and pay when you first walk in. Take a seat, keep an eye on the board for your number and then collect food from counter. Help yourself to water, cutlery etc. I didn’t understand the vending machine options and bought the set meal on my first visit, which included a side of rice with ?soy meat and a pudding. Was very tasty but personally too much food for me 😅.
Tip: you don’t need to purchase a ticket to this station if you’re not planning to exit this station. If you buy the cheapest ticket from where you start and then return to your start point (or one close to it) without leaving the line you’ll be saving a bit of money.
Pros: Everything vegan , Good place to eat alone or with others
Cons: Can be difficult to find

Good if you’re in a rush - Edit
Wasn’t the best food I had in Tokyo so I’d prefer to go somewhere else but this is good if you are in the station or in a rush

Love this place - Edit
All-vegan menu. Tasty food. Reasonable prices. Hard to find:
Read moreAt Ikebukuro Station, enter through the JR South Gate. In the centre of the concourse, you'll see a bunch of gatcha machines. The restaurant is to the northwest of those, so if you entered from the south gate it will be on your left.
Your IC card will likely be charged 150 yen (I think it does so after 30 minutes, even if you don't go anywhere).

Good but a bit too sweet for my taste - Edit
I set out to find this highly recommended vegan Ramen chain, but it turned into a bit of an adventure. Tucked away within the intricate maze that is Ikebukuro Station, it took some navigating, and I arrived with a hearty appetite.
Read moreWhat I ate:
- Golden Sesame Ramen
Surprisingly, it came with more than I had anticipated. Alongside the Ramen, there was a small Rice bowl and a vegan Strawberry Yogurt dessert.
The Ramen itself was packed with sesame and peanut butter, along with what seemed like a satay sauce (more peanut butter, maybe?). This combination created an ultra-creamy texture but veered slightly on the sweeter side for my palate. Visually, though, it was a stunner.
The Rice was topped with soymeat and held its own in terms of flavor.
The dessert was a decent ending to the meal, offering a refreshing touch after the warm and savory Ramen. It featured a vegan yogurt with a Strawberry sauce.
While it was quite good, especially if you're a fan of sesame Ramen and peanut butter, it didn't entirely hit the mark for me. The portion size felt a bit excessive — having both Rice and Noodles felt like overkill to me. Some might call this a "luxury problem," but I'm just not a fan of wasting food, and Ramen doesn't make for great leftovers.

Nice Ramen Shop - Edit
When I lived in Japan, I came here with my roommate. I remember this place was a little tough to find in the train station, but once we did, it was worth it. You're able to order in English. I had the Tantan Ramen and it was pretty good; very flavorful. The gyoza were tasty as well. The prices were what you'd expect.

What a great find - Edit
Worth the effort of tracking this down. Right in the middle of the railway station and you need to get a platform pass, but that only cost 60p! Great food... one you work out how to order on the machine 👍😁

Very good vegan ramen joint inside JR lines - Edit
Love this place. I really enjoyed their golden sesame tantan. Rich, creamy, umami, very balanced flavors. Highly reco adding vegan cheese, coriander and soy chashu add on and add them in the ramen. Yum!

Only serving tantanmen - Edit
I had Black Sesami Cold Tantan Noodles but it wasn’t very good
Read moreI also eat the yogurt but it wasn’t good
It’s not true that they serves gyoza or salads, they serves only tantanmen

Convenient small ramen shop - Edit
Located past the terminals in the station, with delicious vegan ramen. Probably the best ramen I had during my time in Japan. You can also buy their cup noodle ramen to take home.

No wait at 4pm, reasonable price friendly staff. Good ramen, especially the spicier black sesame. Beer was good. Great to have takeaway instant ramen. Can’t fault.

Fully vegan ramen restaurant - Edit
I love T's Tantan! The ramen is super yummy and very filling. On my first visit I tried the White Sesame Ramen and ordered it as a set with rice and a dessert. It tasted really good and came with lots of different toppings. On my second visit I had the Golden Sesame Ramen which was also very good. The staff is super friendly and helpful. The restaurant itself is not super big but there always seem to be enough free seats available.
Read moreIn Ikebukuro you order from a vending machine which is super convenient. The name of the dishes are written in Japanese and English and there are many images and symbols which makes it easy to understand even if you don't know Japanese. To get to the restaurant, you need to enter the JR station.
Pros: Fully vegan, Friendly staff, Nice atmosphere

Love T‘s Tantan - Edit
I love this place because you can find it in several big cities and you can be sure that everything is vegan. Also it is never too crowded and service is fast. I have not had a food here I did not love. Sometimes they have other dishes than ramen which is great. I lived all the dishes I‘ve had here so far. Today it was Yuzu ramen in a set with strawberry and soy yoghurt, extra soy chicken and vegan cheese, and rice.
Read morePros: Delicious , Vegan-safe, Fast service
