Good food and experience!

Good food, I would have liked the soy meat a bit more cooked! And deserts were a bit pricey and small, but yum! My partner had the ramen and it was delicious!

One of the best vegan restaurants in Tokyo

(English follows Japanese)

とにかくメニューがいろいろあって、がっつりしたものも多く、しかも全部ヴィーガンなので本当に助かります! 東京でも指折りのヴィーガン・レストランです。週末のお昼時などはめちゃくちゃ混んでいて並ぶことになるので、注意が必要です。

There are lots of different vegan dishes on the menu, many of which are really filling. This is one of the best vegan restaurants in Tokyo. It's really busy at lunchtime on weekends, so you'll have to be careful as you'll have to queue up.

Pros: Variety of menu

Cons: Long queue at lunchtime on weekends

Super delicious ramen and lovely service

We saw it was open til 9pm on Google maps, but it’s last orders in by 9pm, closed by 10pm, so that was good.

Your order is taken while you wait and you are served when a spot opens up. Big shared tables.

The ramen itself was really delicious! We got the spicy ramen and the roasted garlic one. Spicy was at the upper end of what we could enjoy. I preferred the roasted garlic one but both were so good.

The karaage was nice, not very meaty or chewy in texture but it was a nice fried thing with some delicious tartare sauce.

A great first dinner in Japan for us, and so close to Harajuku station, practically across the road, so it’s easy to get to after a tiring day sightseeing. Highly recommend!

Pros: Delicious ramen , Didn’t wait long in the queue, Good service

Decent ramen

We had the Karabon ramen (a bit too spicy for me) and the Kobonshan ramen (too oily, no garlic flavor). Fresh ingredients, good portion sizes, but not amazing. The specialty non-alcoholic drinks were very good. The raspberry mousse chocolate cake wasn’t bad. A decent meal. Wish I’d ordered the seared soymeat plate, that looked better. The place was packed on Saturday night, with a line of people waiting. Makes me happy to see an all vegan restaurant doing well.

Tasty and nice location

It is located very close to Harajuku and Shibuya, easy to spot thanks to the neon sign by the window that says “Vegan” ! The food is amazing, so tasty and rich. Went with some non-vegan friends and they loved it. Staff is friendly and ready to help you with questions and advices. We had the gyozas, karage and ramen and they were all 10/10

Pros: Ramen , Gyozas, Karage

So good!

Stopped in for lunch. I got the vegetable soy sauce ramen, and the broth was delicious! My partner got the vegan karabon, which had good flavor but very spicy. The gyoza were a nice addition to our meals.

Spicy ramen!

Typical ramen place with quick service of ramen and gyoza, but all vegan! A vegan version of the downstairs restaurant, with a good variety of ramen including good soy meat "steak". Spicy though! 🌶️

This cozy spot has a typical Japanese restaurant atmosphere. The staff is very kind, and the location is charming. My lunch was unforgettable, the food was excellent. There’s nothing to complain about. Give it a try, you won’t regret it!

Get the Jangara flavor in vegan!

We were really excited to try some tasty vegan mock meat, particularly one that could be similar to the chasu you get in traditional ramen, and this was the right call for that!
We had the juju grill and the vegan kobonshan ramen, and both were absolutely fantastic, especially the "meat" they both had.
We wish we could have tried some other dishes there since the menu was quite extensive and it all looked amazing! But I have to say, having a main dish per person was more than enough, the portion did not look too large but it was satiating enough :)

Pros: High quality and flavourful food, Not too long of a wait despite its popularity, Very well located in a popular area (Harajuku)

Good spot

When we arrived, there were two groups ahead of us, but the wait wasn’t too bad. As with many places in Japan, once seated, the service was quick and efficient. We sampled several sides and ramens, and everything was delicious. If you’re in the area, it’s definitely worth a visit!

Pros: So many vegan options

Delicious vegan options

Service was great and staff were very helpful. We ordered two types of ramen and both were delicious.

The karabon was nice and spicy. Perfect for a cool windy day after some long walks around town.

The recommended caramel vanilla cake slice was a nice treat after the big noodle bowls.

The restaurant is also a nice audio cooldown from the bustling shinjuku streets. One floor up on the elevator and the street sounds melt away.

Pros: Service, Flavors, Location (convenient)

Great ramen and gyoza!

I really enjoyed the ramen and gyoza. The garlic broth was rich and tasty. The gyoza was phenomenal - the dough was nice and chewy and the filling was flavourful. The soy meat had great texture and flavour. The noodles were chewy and great amount for the broth.

Tasty gyoza

You have to look up as this restaurant is on the 2nd floor and you take the lift. We arrived and were asked to sit on a bench with others (not a table) and then they took our order and rushed off. When I saw the people next to ,e we’re getting take away, I asked at the counter if we could sit at a table. They then seated me. I’m not sure if they thought we were getting take away or if we would have been seated. I had the gyoza first which I really enjoyed. I also ordered ramen kobonoshan. It was nice without being spectacular. There were plenty of noodles and the soy meat piece I had was nice. My partner really enjoyed the curry that he ordered.

Very nice, quite small with a long shared table.

Delicious ramen

We tried the Karabon (a very good spicy) and the Kobonshan (very smooth, garlicky) ramens and both were super delicious. The place is cozy and there is a waiting line around lunch time but well worth it!

Good value, good food

We tried 2 dishes including the grill plate. Good food, although was maybe a little lacking in flavour compared to some others in Tokyo. Value for money, and clearly a popular spot - you may have to wait for a table, particularly in bigger groups.
