Art experience - Edit
Felt like fine dining in an art gallery. Both the drinks and food were incredible. Professional and promp service with just enough time between courses. My non vegan partner really enjoyed it too.

Savored this meal - Edit
The first courses cue you to really focus on the food and fully immerse yourself in the experience. I appreciated this bowl of ramen probably the most of any I’ve had.

WORTH IT!!! - Edit
We were wondering if this would be pretentious, but the whole dining experience was very impressive and memorable, and the food was insane and also filling! We had 4 courses with 2 drinks for 7700 ¥, which was absolutely worth it, the entrees were super flavourful, the drinks unique and refreshing, and the ramen was insane, broth and noodles and toppings all together, might've been the best vegan ramen I've ever had (picked the spicy miso and it actually delivered on the spicyness). Personally I didn't like the onions, but overall I can highly recommend this place.

Was good, but almost put me to sleep - Edit
The experience was very cool but before you walk in they spray your hands with essential oils and tell you to close your eyes and breathe. The room was very dark and no one was talking. Ramen was good but nothing insane. Make sure you’re not sleepy when you go. Was a rather interesting experience.

Do not miss! - Edit
For only $60 this was quite an experience! Vegan for 36 years and have never even considered there would be a Michelin star vegan restaurant. Everything was quite delicious and unique. You MUST have a reservation. Excellent service. Limited main course options but both were excellent, though I preferred the spicy, which was too spicy for my husband. The 4.3 rating is baffling. I spend $60 regularly for a very average vegan meal in the US and this also had moving artwork, it was dimly lit and yes you're at a huge table with other people but it was part of the experience. If you're vegan it's a must try and for non-vegans it's still delicious. Several very small courses and a big bowl of ramen and I left quite full. It's certainly going to be the most memorable meal from my trip to Japan.

Lovely experience - Edit
The experience was nice and the ramen was good. However, during my trip to Japan I had better ramen, even in non-foodie vegan restaurants. The presentation was great and the overall experience was pleasant, but in my opinion it’s quite expensive for what you get. That’s my honest take. I guess the Michelin name is what you are paying for.

Great experience - Edit
I would definitely recommend this for a unique meal and experience. I enjoyed all of the food, the staff were friendly and everything was presented beautifully. Only downside is that it’s a bit pricey & I have had tastier food in Japan for much less

Must come if you like teamlabs. - Edit
The food was very good but the atmosphere is what made this a 5 star for us. I was mesmerized by the digital art and sound. Small communal table but we were able to make reservations for 2 online a few hours before (mid January).

Unmissable - Edit
Absolutely loved the experience here. I could have done without the meditation/essential oil part at the very beginning, but it literally lasted 30 seconds. Loved the vibe and ambiance, and the food lived up to the expectations. My partner had the soy ramen (and I was initially regretting my choice in getting the spicy one) but overall I was pleased with my choice. You get two “free” drinks with the package; anything else is charged to your card (so it’s essentially transactionless and pretty seamless). 100% would recommend.

Great but… - Edit
Atmosphere
Read moreDark ambiance with moving art on one wall. The concept is great, but you must turn your head 90 degrees toward the art which forces you to look at other diners. I wish I could enjoy the art casually and with less intention. We should be facing the art.
Food and drink
They served the best sake I’ve ever had but I’m not a connoisseur. The ice cube was a perfect cube and was its own work of art. See photo.
Overall the food was great. The Yatsuhashi (see photo) was stunning as a single mouthful. It was served on a bed of cacao nibs that wasn’t meant to be eaten but I dug in!
The norimaki was delish! It was fun making our own handroll.
The ramen was tasty. I chose the Spicy Miso and my companion chose the Shoyu. Both delicious. However. I think it’s weird to have 2 small courses served elegantly then bring a giant bowl of ramen as the main. I thought the ramen would be artfully presented. Also, I think they modeled their ramen after teamLab Planet’s ramen and unfortunately the teamLab’s ramen was far superior.
Lastly, dessert. They served Kinako ice cream. It. Was. So. Damn. Good.

A real experience and one of the best meals we’ve had in Japan, not sure what some of the melts in other reviews are going on about it’s clear when you book what to do and what’s allowed.

Vegan Ramen UZU - Edit
Really great ambiance and presentation. I didn’t like the ramen served to me, as I am not a fan of clear broth ramen. You have to pre-order your meal at the time of the reservation. I ordered spicy ramen (the creamy ramen) but they gave my order to someone else and gave me the clear broth ramen. No one ever came by to check on us and I didn’t want to embarrass my dining partner by getting up to inform them, so I ate it anyway. When they collected the ramen at the end they asked me why I didn’t finish it several times and finally told them it’s because it wasn’t what I had ordered. It was too late to make me the correct ramen, so they offered to make it right later, as such, I added back one star because it was a 2-star experience for me given the mix up.

Great experience, but pricey - Edit
For a three course, fine dining meal with art this was a good experience. The flavours were quite good and the service was great - but make sure you do not arrive early as you wont be let in. The cost was quite expensive for the overall experience.

A Good Tourist Trap - Edit
Yes, exactly that. Everything’s very good. Small menu, delicious notes and flavors. Thought out, too. And their Hojicha and Kombucha was delicious, as was all the food.
Read moreIt was just priced ¥3000 over any reasonable charge, sadly. They get away with it because the only guests are tourists.
The room and aesthetics were small and mostly for show, but I liked it. Food was 4.5, but price is a very easy 0.

Pretty good food - Edit
Michellin and TeamLab accolades aside, this place serves pretty good food but not close to the best food or even ramen I have had in Japan (or the US for that matter).
Read moreThe spicy Miso ramen used a variety of peppers yuzu ginger that gave a pleasant numbing feeling to my mouth which was good. Using flat noodles in ramen though definitely was an interesting & slightly underwhelming choice.
While I am big on sweets and did enjoy the ice cream dessert, I had ran out of my provided beverages by the time it came and made it difficult to finish my dessert given there was no water left to neutralize the sweetness.
The statement on the menu seems very genuine as well when it comes environmental sustainability but also leaves me wondering why the first dish used a good portion of cocoa nibs that were not meant to consume.
Yes I was a fan of the TeamLab and one table setting as many others aren't but rating the food alone without thinking of the accolades this restaurant has received was good but not the best. Come at your discretion.
