味道很豐富 - Edit
和朋友聚餐，點了三種麵，我覺得素牛肉麵最好吃，湯比較爽口，素肉有種燒鳥的香味，另外兩種太濃，味道重，湯無法喝完，比較像在吃沾麵了。餃子中規中矩，味道很像我媽包的，素水牛炸雞挺好吃的，像ヤンニョムチキン，下次有機會再去嘗嘗鐵板料理，隔壁點的味道好香。

Decent garlicky ramen, there is better though - Edit
We both ordered the tonkatsu style ramen with fried garlic oil (one of us added extra soy meat which I would recommend otherwise you only get a couple of small pieces). We tried to add extra noodles as well (because extra noodles always sounds good) but the person taking our order advised to only order those once we’re finished with the regular portion - he was definitely right since the portion was already a decent size and good broth to noodle ratio!
Read moreWe also ordered sides of the gyoza and the karage (deep fried soy meat with a tartare sauce dip). The gyoza were pretty good, but we have had better in Tokyo. The karage was really juicy (wouldn’t recommend for someone who doesn’t like the texture of meat) and the dip was really good.
We timed it pretty well as we arrived just before 6pm and only had to wait a couple of minutes for a table, and they took our order whilst we were waiting so the food came within 5 minutes. By the time we left there were about 5 groups queuing waiting for a table so it seems like it’s just luck of the draw with timing.
How to find Vegan Bistro Jangara:
Unless you’re staying in the Shibuya area you’ll probably get the train to Harajuku. Once you’re off the train you cross the road, go around the corner to the left, walk down the hill around then it’s just around the next corner to your left. It’s on the 2nd floor of a building and there’s also a hedgehog cafe in the same building. You take a small elevator up to the second floor (the door to the elevator isn’t overly obvious). It’s the only thing on the floor that it’s on, so once you’re out of the elevator you queue inside if there isn’t a table free.
Pros: Fast service
Cons: Slightly tricky to find

The BEST place to eat in Japan - Edit
This was our favourite restaurant from our whole trip. The second time we went we had to wait 30 mins to get a seat but it was worth it. The ramen was so full of flavour and delicious and the gyozas were great too. A must visit!

So good but a bit expensive - Edit
Probably the best vegan food I've tried so far in Japan, the Buffalo wings are so good and unique from other "meat" and the fries are decent. Loved their ginger ale drink as well!

Easy to find with many options - Edit
This place is super easy to find with clear labels outside of the building to get up to the shop. It can get pretty busy so be prepared to wait if you come around lunch time. I got the quesadilla which came with a meaty potato option as well as a Marsala chickpea option. It was pretty tasty and I love that it gave me an option to add gyoza. My husband got the soy based ramen which was also pretty tasty. If you’re coming with people who want multiple options this is your place. It’s not the greatest ever food but it’s satisfying and tasty. Portions are a bit on the smaller side so I’d recommend getting a few things or a set if you’re hungry.

Good option for quick food - Edit
Various dishes you can choose from, very friendly service. Would not recommend it for a date or longer dinner; but rather quick meal option. The queue might be long but the staff is really efficient

Decent ramen - Edit
The heavier ramens were too rich for me but I enjoyed the lighter ones and the gyoza was good. Reasonable prices. Nothing mind blowing but good. Mostly tourists eating here.

Good food but kinda overrated - Edit
After attempting to eat here at dinner time and quitting that idea due to the very long line at the door, I came back on another day at lunch time. It was much calmer and we only waited for 5-10 minutes before being seated. Staff was nice and spoke English.
Read moreI have to say I really wanted to try their food since the pics and reviews online made it look very appealing and one of the best vegan restaurants in Tokyo but I was slightly disappointed.
When trying to order a lunch set menu the salad was already sold out! How does a vegan place run out of salad? 😅
We ended up choosing the soy meat grilled on an iron plate and the Kobonshan ramen. I have to say the soy meat in both dishes didn't have much flavour. The ramen was good but I preferred the garlic oil ramen at Kyushu Jangara Ramen downstairs.
Not sure if I'd go back because their prices were mid, the food was mid and it was kind of a hassle to get a table here.
Personal note: Megan Thee Stallion had food here and I sat on the exact same table and chair as her ✨ lmao
Pros: Great location
Cons: Too famous, it's hard to get a table without wait, Overrated

Cheezy curry - Edit
The baked cheese curry was good. An slightly spicy curry rice mixes with different vegetables and topped with cheese.
Read moreThe curry was really good but the cheese tasted like this pre-grated one out of an bag. It was surprisingly cold aswell, as oppose to the hot (!) curry. After mixing everything up it became very creamy and tasty.
Friendly staff.
Nice location
Pros: Many options, Tasty curry
Cons: Only 1 Toilet, Cheese tasted and looked like pre-grated ones

Tasty authentic food - Edit
Fully vegan restaurant in Tokyo. Getting there from the street was bit tricky but definitely worth it. We were lucky to be almost immediately seated, later there was quite a queue.
Read moreFood was really amazing, gluten-free option also possible and market in the menu. We tried gyoza, Singapore Laksa and vegan karabon.

Cons: At pick hour be prepared to wait in a line

Harajuku pit stop - Edit
A good spot for ramen while we spent an afternoon in Harajuku. A short wait mid-afternoon, as one would expect for such a busy area. Food was good. No complaints !

Good if you’re not in a hurry - Edit
At 3pm on a weekday, it took about 45 minutes to get seated and receive our food, so perhaps not the best place to eat if you’re in a rush - but it’s popular for a reason! I was intrigued by the sound of the grilled cheese curry and it was delicious. Poutine was a little disappointing though - could’ve done with more topping
