Feeling right at home at Tu Casa - Edit
Where to begin? Right off the river, Tu Casa's cosy and warm atmosphere invites you right in and wraps you up in a hug. I had the BBQ bowl which had rice, beans, and salad with a Yuzu sparkling soda. Both dishes were so delicious that I immediately ordered their chai and cake (strawberry earl grey pound cake). The chai was easily one of the best I've ever had and I could eat the pound cake forever. You *have* to go if you have the chance.

Good food - Edit
After a few minutes of wait we got seated. Only a couple food choices. We got the Korean sushi and a Korean BBQ bowl, both very tasty but nothing super special.
Read moreThey have a few zero waste products (tooth brush, soaps, some loose stuff) and groceries for sale. But nothing out of the ordinary.

Amazing overall experience - Edit
The vibe in this place is amazing. The food was very well prepared both visually and with regards to taste. This was the top culinary experience at a vegan restaurant in Japan. Highly recommended. Fairly priced and nice staff as well.

Good, but not great - Edit
A zero waste concept is revolutionary in Japan. The store does a great job of implementing this, even the menu looks like it comes from sustainable production.
Read moreUnfortunately there is no relationship between price and performance. As a vegan, you are happy about any shop here where you can order thoughtlessly and without asking. But it's a shame if in the end it feels like you're being asked to pay heavily for it. So far it was the most expensive restaurant we ate in, with unfortunately only mediocre food.
Pros: A Lot of Options for side dishes, The seasonal Drink tasted good
Cons: To expensive, Service was very slow(No full House), No exciting taste

Cozy Korean Food, Low Stress - Edit
Our first night in Japan we were desperately looking for a place for a meal as most of our hotels had meals included that accommodate our dietary needs.
Read moreThis location did not require a reservation, although the shop is quite small. We were seated immediately, some aspects were self serve such as getting water.
We were waited on and were treated kindly and respectfully by those that helped us. There was an English menu which was very accommodating.
The food was great, I chose the Rainbow Gimbap for something light (since I was stressed from food hunting) and my partner got the Korean BBQ Bowl which I was jealous of because it was delicious. We also got tea which was wonderful.
Pros: Easy, Cozy, Delicious
Cons: Small, Limited menu , N/A

PERFECTION - Edit
it was an amazing restaurant, the interior with lots of love, plants and some own zero waste products. The staff was so kind and genuinely friendly - we talked a bit after paying. The soy meat was incredible, everyone (non vegans/vegetarians) loved it so much! Oh and we all loved the zero waste philosophy!

Best vegan chicken for non-vegans - Edit
I had the BBQ bowl. I recommend that for all non-vegan friends following their vegans to restaurants. Tastes like pork. No idea how they did it, flavour was amazing.
Read morePros: Best fake pork ever., Great decor and atmosphere
Cons: Tiny place so be early or expact to wait

Tu Casa - Fantastic vegan food - Edit
Cosy, awesome place serving korean based food. The staff/owners are incredible lovely - please keep up your fantastic work!
Read moreI was a bit early (3:55 pm) but served anyway. So there was a place free with no waiting time at all and the service also super fast. The store was soon crowded, clearly because of the awesome food here.
Had the BBQ bowl with a ginger lemon syrup and a lemon cake for dessert. Everything was excellent! 5 stars on top of 5 stars. Clear recommendation!!!
Pros: Nice cosy location., Awesome food., Lovely staff and atmosphere.

Great, fresh food but the wait was long - Edit
The BBQ bowl was our favorite between that and the salad bowl. The faux meat was incredible.
Read moreWe loved that you could specify the amount of rice you wanted and the small portion was plenty for both of us.
The cafe is cozy and warmly decorated. The staff was incredibly friendly and patient.
It was cool to browse the zero/low waste products for sale for a few minutes while we waited.
Unfortunately, the wait to be seated was very long. In their defense it was a holiday (Sports Day) and they believe that contributed to the crowd. There were lots of people outside waiting to be seated for about an hour, including us, even with just one or two couples ahead on the wait list. That is because the poor employees were short staffed with just two people feeding the whole bustling cafe including the waiter, and that meant that once seated the wait for food was long too. The couple that was seated 30 min before us hadn’t received their food yet when we were seated next to them. They had run out of a couple dishes and desserts too. Hopefully that part of the experience isn’t the norm!
