They have a vegan menu

Vegan menu available, the staff knows what vegan means and they also suggested some other courses that were not on the menu, but were vegan or could be adapted. Amazing view at the 14th floor, option to sit down in a traditional setting (cushions) and sushi! We really enjoyed it, it was a special place.

Delicious vegan options!

Overall great experience—restaurant is on the 14th floor, staff was friendly, there was a vegan/vegetarian menu—though it was provided after inquiring about vegan options. Food was delicious, would definitely recommend to others visiting Tokyo.

No vegan sushi

There was vegan sushi on the Menu but they did not serve it (but there are other vegan things but it's still disappointing)


They also could not provide the other option that he showed me

Amazing vibes and food

While it's not the most filling meal, I feel so lucky to have found vegan sushi at 1am😄Can't wait to be back and try the rest of the menu too!!

Edit: also went to the izakaya (you pick between sushi only, or sushi and izakaya when you go in). and they had some amazing options!! I love the gingko skewer and cannot wait to go again soon!!

Tasty and cool experience

Would give 5 stars if I could!

My partner (omnivore) and I (vegetarian) booked in for the sushi side and it was wonderful. I said “one vegan, one meat-eater” on the booking form and they were so good at immediately showing me what I could have and explaining my options when I sat down. The sushi chef was lovely and we were happily upsold into two set menus - both were delicious and beautifully presented (though a LOT of food)!

The staff were very attentive. We booked to sit at the counter and it was cool getting to watch the two sushi chefs at work, but just be aware if you’re vegan and don’t want to see them cutting fish. It was a bit pricey but we felt the food and experience were worth it.

Pros: Very tasty food, Great staff, Cool ambiance/experience

Amazing ambiance in the heart of Shibuya

My hubby (omnivore) and myself (vegan) spent a week in Shibuya and visited Gonpachi/Gonpachi Sushi 3 times. I highly recommend it for vegans and mixed diet groups. Their sushi restaurant has stunning views (14 flights up!) and delicious mixed vegan sushi (LOVED the Japanese ginger, chive and avocado!). The soba/skewer side has great ambience (we Shazamed half the music and everyone gets a boisterous yelling at when they enter… loved it(. I had the vegan cold dipping soba with tempura, mushroom skewers, and so many yuzu sours). The servers speak English and it’s not just food, it’s an experience. Plan on checking out the Roppongi location where they filmed Kill Bill next time we are in Tokyo. Reservations highly recommend!

Pros: Mixed vegan sushi, Cold dipping soba with vegan tempura

Cons: The elevator up to the 14th floor😬

Delicious Vegan Sushi

We randomly found that place to eat vegan Sushi. It was soooo good. But I would not go there wearing a T-Shirt again. ;-)
I felt a bit underdressed.

Pros: Vegan Sushi, Clearly Marked

Bad experience

I decided to have my birthday dinner at this place. I really apprecierad the vegan menu and the food was ok. But I guess my expectations were a bit higher. Unfortunately they placed us right in the aisle, and they screamed extremely loud right next to us everytime someone walks in or out. The music speakers were also right above with loud music. Other tables were available during our whole dinner but we couldn’t change. It was generally hard for us to have a conversation anytime during the dinner. And unfortunately the table was placed so we couldn’t enjoy the nice view. They also repeatedly mixed up our order and served us seperately so we mostly ate alone while the others waited. My advice if you decide to go and would like a bit more calm dinner is to ask for a table close to the window with less screaming and a better view.

Pros: Vegan menu, Nice view if seated close to window

Cons: Constantly screaming and very loud , Mixed up the order of dishes, Meal served at separate time for each person

5 stars!!!

I would give this place five stars if I could! The staff were all so wonderful, kind, accommodating and friendly! I tried the tofu, 1 pepper skewer, 2 mushroom skewers, the vegan roll, oolong tea and the vegan caviar, all great!! Highly recommend coming here. I don’t think it was too expensive like others said, about 22 USD for all that and it’s a nice place.

Would just be mindful that the sushi is only for dinner (I don’t know about the rest of the vegan menu)

Vegan sushi was a delight!

This was the second Gonpachi restaurant which we visited and they both vastly differed from each other. This location was brilliant - clear separate vegan menu with various options. We opted for the vegan sushi, the vegan sushi roll and x2 portions of the grilled veg skewers and found this was enough for a late dinner for 2 people.

The food was really good - fresh and tasty. The atmosphere was great - really lively and you could tell it was a popular place for locals and tourists. As people have mentioned, it's slightly more expensive but I would say worth it for good sushi!

Pros: Vegan options, Great atmosphere

Amazing sushi & experience!

This was truly an amazing experience for not only the amazing vegan sushi but even the lively atmosphere created by the incredibly friendly staff! I ordered the tofu appetizer, vegan sushi assortment (I loved 4 of the 6), vegan avocado rolls & sake. 😍

Bit expensive for what you get

This is a nice place with great views of the city.

The staff were really friendly and we had a good time. But the food wasn’t very exciting. The vegan sushi was rice with a single piece of veg laid on top.

The spicy Moscow mule was nice though.

Great value for a great experience

We reserved in advance for the vegan sushi dinner, which was a pricey meal but a great value for what you got. I was so full by the end! We started with a soft tofu and edamame course, enjoyed a small fried soy milk and corn fritter, got half a sushi roll, four veggie skewers, a miso soup, and a platter of eight pieces of vegan sushi, plus dessert! Everything was nicely presented and very delicious. I really enjoyed this meal.

Sushi

It was so nice to get some decent vegan sushi instead of the classic cucumber. I really enjoyed both sushi plates and can't say which I preferred. The dining is also super pretty and the view is worth a million dollars

Pros: Sushi, Service , Atmosphere

Expensive for what it is

Visited on September 17, 2023. I was very excited to see that Gonpachi Shibuya has a vegan menu! Gonpachi has a few branches throughout Tokyo. Only some of their locations have a vegan menu, so be sure to check before you go.

I was impressed with their vegan selection, which included a vegan caviar sushi! The fresh tofu was fantastic too. The food is on the pricy side. We paid $180 CAD for three people 😅 I would be eager to go back if it wasn't so expensive. I think there are better food options for much better prices.

We ordered:
- Fresh tofu
- Vegetable tempura
- Assortment of vegan sushi

Great atmosphere, great food

Came here for the sushi, but unfortunately it was 2.30pm and sushi starts only at 5. However, after asking for the vegan menu, I could order skewers with a great smoky taste and tempura. Both were super yummy! Had to think of Kill Bill somehow..

Delicious dinner

Ask for the separate vegan menu! We had the sushi rolls, tempura and grilled skewers (based on the recommendations here) and everything was extremely tasty! One of the best meals of the trip for sure. Especially the mushroom skewers were heavenly. Note that you can order a mixed plate with a combination of different skewers or order some separately.

The only negatives were that it is was a bit on the expensive side as portion size was quite small. Also, the service was not the best - for example it took some time to get the check, and only after we tried to pay in cash they quite rudely informed us that only credit card is accepted (even though we spoke fluent Japanese). So don’t bother with cash here!

Pros: Great tastes and textures, Beautiful view (if reservation is made)

Cons: Expensive for the portion size, Service was a bit rude

Tasty vegan Japanese options

Really friendly good atmosphere restaurant. Go up to the 14th floor- there are signs for Gonpachi 14F on the ground floor. They had a vegan menu available in English. I had the vegan sushi and vegetable tempura both were very good. This was around 2600Yen.

Pros: Friendly service, Vegan menu and vegan saki marked, Highball drink!
