Tonkotsu ramen

Yumm! Loved the tonkotsu ramen. Restaurant located on 2f in which you must take the elevator to reach. Huge menu with many other different types of foods.

Great vegan japanese food!

The place is small, so you might need to wait a little bit, but it will be totally worth it!
We ordered the vegan Karabon ramen, the vegetable grill and the curry, all of them outstanding, although the curry is a bit spicy. You can order everything as an individual dish or as a menu, adding gyozas, salad or both. We chose both
The lemonades (berries and lemon-ginger were very tasty and refreshing, not too sweet).
The staff was nice and efficient.
You can also buy dry noodle boxes for you to take home.
We will definitely come back.

Delicious Ramen

The ramen were soo good! We got the mild Vegetable Soy Sauce Ramen and the Vegan Konbonshan with garlic. Both were very tasty. We would go back for more Ramen!

Also had the quesadillas and French fries which were tasty as well, just the condiments weren’t as good in my opinion.

It’s located on the second floor of the building and is only accessible via elevator (and two steps before the elevator).
Menu is accessible via QR-Code.
They have around 20 seats. But it gets busy. Food came quickly.
Menu is different according to the time of day. Dinner is served from 6 p.m.

Delicious

We ate very well and the staff was really kind. We had Matsumoto Jun fans because the weather was very hot and while we were eating there were Arashi songs. This made us smile and will make us keep this restaurant in our hearts forever. I loved both dishes I tried but I recommend the curry! It's a little spicy but delicious!

Bestes Ramen in Tokyo

Sehr gutes ramen und sehr große Auswahl man kann sich drinnen setzen. Nicht wie beim vegan ramen uzu wo du draußen sitzen musst und die sonne auf dich knallt. Meine Empfehlung wenn man gutes veganes ramen in Tokyo essen will.

Spicy

I got the spicy ramen and “buffalo” wings. The “wings” were good and a surprise to see on the menu. The ramen stayed true to its name and was one of the spicer ramens I ate while in Japan.

Flavoursome ramen and gyoza

We were a bit afraid we would have to wait for a table as per previous reviews, but luckily at 6 PM on a Sunday it was not busy at all, just a couple of customers in addition to us. I got the vegan ramen with garlic oil and some gyoza, both were very flavoursome, altough maybe I’d preferred even more garlic oil on the ramen. Very friendly staff and fast service.

We loved the vegan food. Curry was amazing from my experience, for my son he had kobonshan ramen twice.. we made a quite a trip for the second round. Quesadilla and tortilla was quite delicious. Price was just right!
We don't like cakes that much but we are intrigued with the beauty of raspberry cake..definitely worth it.. atmosphere and people so nice and friendly.. must try if you are in Harajuku!!

Pros: People who works here, Atmosphere nice and cosy, Price is just right

Good ramen

Order a Vegan Karabon Ramen which is a vegan rendition of the spicy tonkotsu ramen “Karabon” originally served at Kyushu Jangara. It is usually served in a pork broth so I was surprised to see a thick broth base ramen served in the restaurant. The ramen is overall delicious, noodles are just firm enough for my preference and the soup is good, just that it got alittle too spicy for me. Also ordered a grilled chashu, which tasted similar to most soy protein I have eaten. There was no wait time to be seated, food was served fast. Thank you!

Pros: Delicious ramen

Tasty treat

Great balanced salad with many vegetables and a few soy meat pieces. The Taiwanese vegan noodles were also great. Nice restaurant near Harajuku station. Definitely worth a visit.

Pros: Many vegan choices , Tasty, Easy access

Average, Wouldn’t Try it Again

So sad and disappointed considering all of the other reviews! My husband and I were both so excited to try this restaurant, however our experience was not great.

The first night we tried to go, we travelled the half an hour there to find they were no longer taking more people in for the night. They close at 9pm, we arrived at about 7:45pm. Not a big deal, so we came back the following week.

On our return they were out of stock of 3 things we tried to order. Karaage, Buffalo Chicken and the Poutine Fries. Instead we ordered two of the Vegan Kobonshan Ramen, 6 Gyoza and French Fries.

The Gyoza were quite tasty, but nothing special. French Fries were what you would expect. My Vegan Kobonshan Ramen came out first. It was incredibly oily, the vegan protein had a strange smoky flavour and was oddly crunchy and I just didn’t love the broth.

I opted to give it to my husband because we realised at that point the 2nd ramen wasn’t coming out as there must have been a miscommunication between myself and the waiter. I’m not disappointed about this as I don’t speak their language so these things happen, but also I don’t know how we would have gotten through 2 of these ramens given it wasn’t very nice.

Overall I wouldn’t go back to see if it’s better a second time around. I’m jealous that everyone else’s experience was so positive however I just think there are better restaurants around Tokyo.

Pros: Location

Cons: Taste, Menu item availability

Delicious ramen

We had a spicy and non-spicy ramen, and both were delicious! Would definitely go here again if I were to be in the area. Very flavourful broth and noodles. Nicely decorated little restaurant opposite Harajuku station that also sells vegan cup ramen to take home.

Flavourful and thick ramen

Their vegan tonkotsu was really flavourful, and should be the stuff of legend. Gyoza side was also good.

Good ramen and soy meat

I usually prefer my ramen broth to be creamy which this ramen isn’t but I still enjoyed it. It’s thick and pretty spicy. The soy meat that comes with it was pretty tasty as well.

Best meal in Tokyo

Hands down, this was the best meal I had in Tokyo, and that sentiment was echoed by the three non-vegans I brought with me. It’s small, and we had to wait maybe 15 minutes for a table to open up, but the meal was absolutely delicious and I can’t wait to come back for more.

Pros: Widely varied menu, Chill atmosphere, Flavorful food

Good food, convenient location

We had the ramen, it was very tasty. If you can only go to one vegan ramen place in Tokyo, I thought Vegan Uzu Ramen (by TeamLab Planets) and Ts Tantan in Ueno station were a bit nicer but I would still say the food here was very good and it’s a perfect location if you are visiting Meiji Jingu or Harajuku.

Delicious Ramen

I had the vegan Karabon ramen which is described as a rich spicy tonkotsu, and it delivered on that promise. The broth was the perfect level of spicy for me and it had a good rich creamy texture. The seared soy meat on top was delicious, it had a good texture and had a good savoury taste. The other toppings were perfectly fine and added some different textures. There were plenty of noodles and they were tasty too.

My partner had the vegan Kobonshan, this is a tonkotsu ramen fried with garlic oil. It had a great savoury broth and felt quite different from the other ramen we have had on this trip. She had similar things to say about the toppings, enjoying the flavour of the meat and the texture brought from the other toppings.

We also shared a plate of chicken kaarage, these were also delicious. They had a good meaty texture that was similar to a lot of the mock chicken we've had in Japan. They were elevated by a lovely garlic flavour running through them and the tartar sauce dip that came with them was the perfect accompaniment.

The drinks were fine, the cola tasted like a cola but nothing is as good as a coke. I had a goji berry and pomegranate soda which was nice but felt like a sweet fizzy pop without much to differentiate it.

Amazing ramen and excellent service

My family and I (party of 5) loved our experience here. The inside was decorated very nicely and the ambience was pleasant. The vegan pork was incredible and our favorite dish was the vegan karabon. Highly recommend stopping here for lunch while in Harajuku!

Best ramen in the city

If you’re searching for the best vegan ramen in the city, look no further. The broth is seasoned to perfection. The soy meat is the perfect hearty addition to bring the sensation of fullness. Not to be missed. Sorry the pic doesn’t do it justice… was too busy digging in!
