Delicious vegan ramen!

Delicious, cheap (900 yen) and authentic ramen. The owner is welcoming and happy to assist if you're not sure what to order or can't read the Japanese menu. We tried the miso and soy sauce ramen and highly recommend!

Best experience ever and amazing food

Owner very welcoming and helpful. The owner himself is vegan. Understood our broken/non-existant Japanese and helped us place our order from the machine outside with patience. The whole shop is vegan with the option to add egg if desired.

Food was absolutely amazing. Very flavourful and filling. Would 100% go back and recommend to everyone.

We ordered the soy milk based ramen with egg and miso based ramen. Both tasted great. The soy milk based broth was rich/creamy and slightly sweet, the miso was salty and also tasted great. I've had miso overseas before and didn't like it but this was different and I loved it.

Ramen base costed 900 additional for toppings e.g. egg was 100

Excellent dipping Ramen

The owner was very friendly and helpful with figuring out the ordering machine. The vegan dipping Ramen was outstanding (and ordered with extra soymeat).

Incredible ramen and lovely chef

Chef saw us trying to Google translate the vending machine out the front and came to our rescue. He explained the differences and seated us quickly. Beers were served in ice cold glasses and ramens followed shortly after. We opted for the tsukenmen (dunk plated noodles into sauce/broth) and a miso ramen. They were both the two best ramens we have had in Tokyo so far (and we have had a lot). It’s in a quiet back street and I highly recommend this place for a chilled out break from the city.

Pros: Easy ordering (vending machine is fun), Lovely chef, Delicious food/well priced

UNBELIEVABLE ✨ Ramen Bar selling tsukemen!

We went roller skating at Tokyo Dome and walked 4 minutes to this 7-seat restaurant. The chef is so nice I made an Instagram post for him on his insta to highlight how special this experience was.

It’s CASH-ONLY, and you pay using a vending ticket machine that allows you to select your order ($7-10pp) then give your receipt to the chef.

FOOD:
I’ve been wanting to try this for 10 years!

For those who don’t know, 🍜TSUKEMEN is a style of ramen where you dip cold noodles into hot soup, allowing you eat slowly without the broth getting cold!

While my non-vegan partner and I waited for our order, we spoke with the chef & other patrons in English. Many tourists with dietary restrictions come thanks to Happy Cow actually!

VEGAN RATING:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Veggie Tsukemen
“A new flavor that was bright & exciting, but savory too. The broth want thicker than I expected, but lovely. Fried lotus root and side salad is a 10!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Soy Meat Ramen
“Perfectly balanced broth with plenty of room to add spice to your taste. Chef encourages it!

NON-VEGAN RATING:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Veggie Tsukemen
“The soup is thicker than the non-vegan ones I’ve had, but he also uses a slightly thicker noodle which makes it really good and special.”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Soy Meat Ramen
“Definitely an 8/10. Well made, warm and tasty. I’d eat this everyday.”

Pros: Close to activities and transportation, Excellent food and service, Food prepared in front of you

Cons: Only 7 seats (may have to wait)

Incredible Food that happens to be vegetarian

It’s surprisingly difficult to find veggie options in Tokyo, even when compared to other cities.

However, this place was fantastic, and Gaku—the chef and store manager—is a fantastic chef and kind human.

It was my first time trying Tsukemen, and I loved it! Please go if you enjoy great food.

Pros: Veggie options, Tsukemen, Great Chef

Cons: Small restaurant so big groups can be challenging

Really great

Like others said, you have to specify you want the vegan option. I got the soy milk broth and it was delicious vegan ramen. The owner/chef was very nice as well.

Cant recommend enough!

The food was INCREDIBLE and the chef was very kind and helpful. He saw me trying to use google translate on the machine outside and he came out to help and gave me a fantastic recommendation. Everything on the machine was vegetarian/vegan safe. I’ll be going back before I leave. Can’t rate it high enough. I had the miso ramen

Very tasty food

Vegetarian restaurant but you can ask for vegan options. You order using a vending machine outside the restaurant, everthing is written down in japanese but the guy is very kind and helped us to order and explained us all the plates. We ate the tsukemen soup and we found it was very tasty! It is a plate with noodles with a soup apart made of carrot, tomatoes and onions soup then a salad and fried lotus flower. The restaurant is small, just 6 seats in front of the kitchen. The kitchen is a little dirty

Pros: Vegan options, Tasty food, Nice and available personell

Cons: A little bit dirty, Small place

Post game noodles

Nothing better to finish off the night after a Yomiuri Giants victory than with some delicious noodles from this shop! I had ramen and Tsukemen on 2 separate occasions and both were excellent. Everything is vegetarian so just let the chef know you would like it vegan when you hand him your ticket. Owner/chef is super nice and knows his stuff(both with ramen and vegan food). I took some omnivore friends who also said this is the best ramen they have had. If you come from the Tokyo Dome and the crowds at the station are bad, grab some dinner here first to let people filter out and ride home in comfort with a full belly.

Pros: Ramen with great bite and depth of flavor, Convenient location near Tokyo Dome, Friendly owner/chef

Delicious and charming

Beautifully prepared, fresh, flavorful vegan ramen with a generous side salad. The proprietor assisted with ordering and double-checked with my wife that the egg she’d ordered was intentional (she’s ovo/lacto). Clean, friendly, and delicious!

Pros: Excellent ramen, Ambiance, Friendly and accommodating

One of the best

Some of the best veggie food we’ve had in Japan. Everything on the menu is suitable for vegetarians and the chef/owner is vegetarian himself and super helpful when deciding. Hopefully more places like this soon!!

Pros: Japanese cuisine , Friendly owner, Can adapt for vegans & dietary restrictions

One of the best options in Tokyo

We were staying just round the corner so we had to try here really, and we're so glad we did. We used Google translate to order from the machine outside and passed our tickets to the owner.

The broth was tasty and the noodles delicious. It's extra nice to know that you're in an entirely vegetarian place and there's no risk of there being fish or meat in the broth. We had a brilliant time here and returned later in the week.

The owner was friendly and we exchanged some brief phrases in English.

Pros: Tasty ramen, Friendly owner

This is a great place! The chef working there was very informed and immediately asked whether we were here for the vegan options.

Fantastic place, cannot recommend enough.

Pros: Everything can be made vegan , Super delicious! , Staff is very helpful and kind

Truly Wonderful

My Wife and I had a wonderful experience here. The food was very good. However, it was the chef that made the experience truly wonderful. This was our 1st meal in Tokyo after our long flight. The chef made us feel welcome in his city. It was a kindness that was greatly appreciated.

Pros: All Vegan, Delicious , Kind People

Cons: You have to be in Tokyo to eat here, My stomach isn’t big enough, Not enough room here to list all the pros
