Excellent vegan ramens

The cook is very helpful and friendly. Vegan himself too. I went there and had 2 ramens (I think he was surprised!). The portions are generous and it’s all v tasty. I will come back if I have the opportunity.

Best vegan ramen in Tokyo

Everything can be vegan since he will just not put an egg in the bowl. Both the soymilk and miso ramen are incredible delicious. Full with flavour and something I could eat every day. Highly recommended and 2 min next to a metrostop.

Vegan Tsukemen

I ordered the tsukemen and they were really good! Unfortunately, I didn't see that they came with an egg. Just be careful, if you are vegan, to say without the egg.
Besides that the noodles were delicious and the consistency perfect. I would go there again!

Pros: Delicious, Affordable

Fabulous! Must visit!

Most dishes are around 1000 yen and you get a large delicious bowl of noodles!

I echo what many others have said and cannot recommend this place enough!!

Tsukemen Zuppa is a different establishment from the one located inside Ueno Station.
The shop inside Ueno Station is a separate vegan ramen restaurant.
Tsukemen Zuppa is a vegan restaurant located near Suidobashi Station.
Are you certain that this review is for Tsukemen Zuppa?

Best noodles I ever had

I had the soy milk ramen. They really taste like milk but in a very pleasant and yummy way. The highlight for me were the thick noodles that taste like egg in my opinion while still being completely vegan. I only paid 1000yen and had one of the best meals of my life!!! The owner speaks English very well and does all the work himself😮🎩!!! I will come again…

Awesome Milky Ramen

For just 1000 yen you can get exceptional Ramen here. The broth was a new experience for me, as I had never had Ramen broth on a (Soy-)Milk base. The highlight for me though were the noddles themself. Very thick and chewy the were definitely the best I had on this trip.

Japanische Ramenkaiser*in

Geschmacklich unschlagbare Ramen für läppische ¥1000! Ruhige Atmosphäre mit Tischen direkt an der Küche die von einer einzelnen Person, die gleichzeitig auch Bedienung war, geschmissen wurde. 😍

Mein einziger Kritikpunkt ist, dass das Restaurant zwar von sich selbst angibt 100% Plant-Based zu sein und dann trotzdem Hühnerperiode (Ei) auf der Karte hat... 🫤

I love this place.

This is my favourite restaurant in Tokyo. Maybe anywhere? I always get the soy milk ramen and it's never let me down. One day I will try something new. The owner is super friendly and has always welcomed be back over the last three years. It's always the first place I want to go when I am back in Tokyo. Everyone should try this. Really!

本格的なラーメンが恋しい人集まれ!

ヴィーガンになってから、券売機で食券を買って、「大盛りにしようかな〜」「トッピング何にしようかな〜」っていう体験できないですよね🥹

ただZuppaだと食券方式/カウンターですし、なのより醤油ラーメンやつけ麺が本当に美味しいです!ヴィーガンだったら絶対一度来てください!モチモチの太麺と濃いスープを是非試して見てください!心からオススメできます:)

The Best Vegan Ramen Ever!

This was hands down the best vegan ramen I’ve ever had in my life. I tried almost everything on the menu—the soy milk, miso, shoyu (soy sauce), and even the taco ramen—and every single one of them was absolutely delicious. I will definitely come back here the next time I’m in Tokyo.
What surprised me most was the price. You can get most of their ramen bowls for around 1,000 yen! While many vegan restaurants in Japan tend to cater strictly to tourists, this place is completely different. It’s highly popular with the locals too. Highly, highly recommend!

Didn't understand the hype

Average ramen. Far from the best I've had in Japan. Not even the best in Tokyo. But cheap and quick.

I had the 'soy milk tantan' since he ran out of Tsukemen. Tantan should have sesame paste. Didn't feel like it had any, it tasted mostly of soy milk. The ramen is pretty empty too. I added soy meat which was basic.
I didn't like the noodles either. It's the cheap instant noodles type, that gets stuck all together.

It is pretty inexpensive. A large portion with soy meat cost me only 1300. But frankly, I think that T's Tantan is better. Surely more interesting.

Highly recommended

The tsukemen was sold out on the night I came, but it's hard to be disappointed about pivoting instead to what was genuinely the best ramen I've ever eaten. I had to wait a little outside as it's a small shop, but when I came in and sat down ready to hand my ticket to the chef, he was already preparing my order. This is one of those places where you feel like you're truly experiencing something extraordinary, someone who is an absolute master of their craft. The taste, the atmosphere and the service are all absolutely top notch.

Don't be like me and embarrass yourself by pouring water into the little glass that's actually for spoons. The one that's for drinking out of is a little more frosted.

The ordering machine outside doesn't take credit cards, only IC card and cash.

Best ramen in Tokyo

This place is a must try for all vegans in Tokyo. Ordering is made very simple with a vending machine that prints order tickets. Service is very fast and the owner is super friendly and speaks English. One thing to note is there are not many seats I believe only 8 so coming with a big group will be tough.

Outstanding! Subarashi!!

One man ramen legend, still with that old style ticket machine meal selector. Vegan options galore- seems actually fully vegan? They do state plant based explicitly. Seems like they take card too. Upsized both ramens and no regret. The noodles are thickkkk and soup is super tasty. The guy was quiet, he closed early, but it was a Sunday. If you’re in Tokyo please support this wonderful restaurant. 7 seats only but such an authentic experience!

Easy, fast, delicious

Little ramen bar where you eat at the counter. Gaku, the owner, is from Hokkaido and is vegan himself. Three types of ramen that you order from a machine outside and then hand him the ticket. If you are having trouble he will open the window and help for sure. I had the soy sauce ramen and it has a great flavor. I definitely want to return on my next business trip to Tokyo!

The earth has given, indulge

It was not the mother, nor the offspring, which were contained in the meal. It was further not the newborn's life juice that I consumed at this place. I was filled by the flesh of earth itself, inanimate as it is but full of rage. The earth given pleasure was appreciated, yet my palate desired a degree of further stimulation, not to be attained at this here place. Alas, this is the human coffin I must rest in.
