everything is tasty

Our first meal in Fukuoka and first in Japan. Everything was tasty. 😋
It was tricky to find initially and didn’t find indoor seating but did find benches outside in the sun which was even better.

Accepts credit cards.
Lots of options!

Pros: Lots of options , Everything is tasty

Cons: A little hard to find

Great bento

If you look at it just from the perspective that it's a bento, then its very good. It sucks that it's cold but that is what it is. If you look at it as a normal meal, it really doesn't hold up to be honest.

Vegan to-go food!

I'm so grateful for this place, as Hakata area doesn't have many vegan options. The prices are great ~ 5-6 USD per set, and the food is delicious.
I bought some to eat during my ferry ride to Busan, and also my train ride back to Tokyo.

Pros: Inexpensive , Delicious , Convenient

Cons: Food not replenished when sold out

Top notch vegan bentō

It's not often you find a shop selling vegan ekiben, but this place does them exclusively, and they're good at what they do.

Many options are available each day with different foods and in different sizes. From rice balls to seaweed salad to fried things to pastas to desserts, you really can't miss. Prices are also very reasonable for what you get. Definitely stop by on your way to anywhere from Hakata Station.

Best ever! 10/5 stars

Ok, let me start with that Fukuoka doesn’t have much advertised vegan food out of this “tourist center”. Fine. I understand I’m overseas… but in the major train station, they have grab and go bento meals! Best thing ever! I’m literally going to youtube this because it’s not well enough known. Grab vegan food, visit your tourist sites, eat well! Amazing! Enjoy you’re trip 💖

Good vegan food, good prices

I buy a few things here every time I am in Hakata train station. Everything has always been really good. Prices are reasonable. Mostly traditional bentos but vegan, also onigiri and once they had a really good bagel with awesome vegan cream cheese. A few cookies too. Not hard to find exactly but the shopping area is vast, so a couple of times I had to ask for directions at the information desk. Basically down two sets of stairs from the Shinkansen or one set of stairs from the regular JR platform area, in the part of the mall where there are a lot of similar small food shops/stalls. You don’t need to go outside the train station or into the multilevel buildings nearby, it’s in a kind of department store area with a food court area, next to/just below the trains and in the same building as the train station. It has a sign in English that says Macrobiotic.

Pros: near both regular JR lines and Shinkansen, lots of choices, good prices, tastes great, also they are friendly

Best bento

A little bit not easy to find the first time as the food streets are so overwhelming. Happy to see they are still here after the pandemic. Locate right across Mister Donut which is a good indication.

Amazing All Vegan Bento Counter

This is what every train station in Japan needs! An all vegan bento counter with a huge variety of bento boxes at very reasonable prices!
We arrived at the Fukuoka airport around noon and took the train just two stops away to JR Hakata station. We picked up three bento boxes and a muffin, and we walked over to a park nearby for lunch, before exploring the rest of Fukuoka. Everything was delicious, and it was such a delight to be able to have fully vegan Japanese-style bento and enjoy the sun outside!

Delicious and reasonably priced

I was just so happy to find a vegan bento stand in the station that its existence alone would have been enough to keep me coming back. However, the bento I had was excellent, with a variety of tasty items. I need to figure out a good way to get to the rice underneath before eating all the tasty items on top, though. (It is separated by a plastic sheet to keep it from absorbing things and getting soggy.)

I see myself stopping here to grab a quick lunch very often on my way to or from class! Also looking forward to checking out the cafe in Hakata Riverain!

Pros: good value, very delicious and satisfying, convenient location

Cons: the packaging is smart but also a little difficult

Convenient vegan bento stand

Working in Hakata area, this vegan bento joint is essential to me. It’s inside JR Hakata station building near the Shinkansen entrance.
Other than bentos, they offer rice balls, noodles, tortillas, bagels and sweets.
Nori-bento and Tortilla are my favorite.

A great selection of bento boxes and baked goods. All the ones I ended up trying were delicious.

The 2 locations in/around Hakata Station make this super convenient as well. Definitely check them out!

Convenient location, so/so food

There are some very nice flavours, eg the tempeh with tofu in a bento section, but i's mainly pretty plain rice. I thought it was ok, a friend hated it, and an acquaintance loves it a lot.

I also tried the matcha cake. Tasty, but drier than drywall - it was very crumbly when broken.

Pros: All vegan. Location.

Cons: So/so food

Perfect find

I was just pleased that I found somewhere that I could eat, but they also had a great selection and it was really yummy. It was a bit tricky to find so had to ask directions.

Pros: Lots of options, Tasty, Cute presentation of food

Cons: Would be better if there was seating

Delicious vegan bentos

Read more in this vegan Fukuoka guide: https://itravelforveganfood.com/vegan-fukuoka-guide/

In Hakata Station, find the street that has many food stalls called いっぴん通り. In there you can find the Evah Dining shop that vegan bento boxes and onigiri. They are all delicious and affordable.

They have a nice variety of bentos and onigiri. For example, one will have 6 different dishes and 3 types of rice. The dishes are varied and well-cooked. A deep fried ‘oyster’, cream pasta, tofu patty, etc.

I would also recommend buying some bento from this shop before heading to the airport as the vegan option there is very limited. It also shouldn’t be too difficult as the airport is only 2 metro stations away from Hakata Station.

Pros: All vegan, Nicely made Japanese bento and onigiri, Convenience location

Cons: none that I can think of

Bons bento, donburi et sandwiches à prix très raisonnables

J'y vais chaque jour de mon voyage à Fukuoka.
Les prix sont très abordables (hors taxes) les donburi commencent à 400 Y, les bento commencent à environ 600 Y.
Service agréable.
La mini part de gâteau au chocolat présente dans quelques bento est délicieuse!

Pros: Indiqué dans le texte plus haut..

Cons: A emporter uniquement.

Great place

First, there are two stands, one just outside the station and the other one in the station itself. They sell the same things though. I tried their vegan wraps and they were really good. I also got all their boxes for my long train journeys and they were all excellent. I can only wish we had Evah in my city...

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Convenient , Inexpensive

a must do

Altough japanese food is not my cup of tea, I was soooo happy to find this place....
Their vegan bentos gave me a much needed variety in my daily food, and I had to come three times to taste everything.
The food is good and filling, really a great place.

(I was helped by my fellows reviewers on happy cow to find the place)

Pros: very rare vegan betos, a lot of variety, very tasty

Cons: hard to find
