Tasty vegan ramen

Ramen chain with clearly marked vegan option in English. Uses mushroom dashi and soy 'meat'. Very nice umami flavour, filling and reasonably priced. Only takes cash.

Cozy place with tasty vegan ramen

(Visited 5. April 2023)
Atmospheric and authentic feeling little restaurant (approx. 10 seats). Our group of 5 had to wait around 30-45min on a wednesday evening.
English menu, very helpful and friendly staff. One clearly marked vegan option (with possibility to add extra soymeat).
Ramen and soymeat were excellent. Would definitely visit again!

Pros: Tasty ramen!, Good value, Cozy interior

Cons: One vegan option, Small location, could have to wait a while

Best vegan ramen

Most delicious (vegan) ramen we’ve had so far (and I bet it will be hard to beat). Lovely atmosphere, super friendly service. I’ve been here three years ago and came back and it’s still as great as it used to be😄can recommend big time!!

Very good ramen

The waiter was super friendly and the vegan ramen are very good. All other dishes contain meat and/or fish tough. For 150 yen you have the option to get a second portion of noodles for your ramen.
They also have an english menu available.

Pros: Very tasty

Cons: Only one vegan option

Great vegan ramen

They have vegan ramen. The vegan “pork” is optional and in my opinion not worth the extra cost. Lewis Hamilton frequents this chain when he’s in Tokyo!

Pros: Authentic ramen taste, Reasonable price

Cons: Vegan pork is not nice

One of the best vegan ramen in Tokyo

(English follows Japanese)

九州じゃんがらは都内に何店舗かあって、それぞれのお店でメニューが違うのですが、この赤坂店では豚骨風味の「熊本マー油(焦がしにんにく油)のヴィーガンらあめん」があります。これがめちゃくちゃ美味しいです。今まで食べたヴィーガンラーメンのなかでは一番です。スタッフの方もとても親切でした。ちなみに、こちらのお店では「T’sたんたん」のインスタントラーメンも購入できました。

In Tokyo, there are several branches of Kyushu Jangara Ramen, and each branch offers different vegan menu. In this Akasaka shop, you can taste vegan Kumamoto Tonkotsu-style ramen with burnt garlic oil. It was so delicious, I’m sure that it is one of the best ramen in Tokyo. The staff is very friendly. You can buy T’s Tantan's instant noodles.

Closed

Went all the way here and it is closed during its posted open hours. Covid maybe?

Super comfy place

My issue with most places in Tokyo is that vegan not necessarily equals healthy or low in calories. This means I'm in a pickle quite often in specialty restaurants, since it's customary to be forced to order at least one dish.

The super-friendly guy here let me order just some tea and enjoy chatting with my friends as they had their delicious vegan ramen.

Pros: Friendly staff, Nice atmosphere

Cons: Not many vegan options, Narrow

delicious vegan ramen

small place, easy to find since it advertises its vegan ramen on the sign outside. you sit in two rows, and although our waiter didn't speak english it was easy to order. the vegan ramen was delicious, plenty of yummy toppings (mushrooms, tofu, sprouts, etc). it was about ~$10, the portion size is your typical Big Ramen. would recommend!

edit: now that i've tried other vegan ramen in tokyo i can say that this is definitely one of the best i've had, so flavorful. stop by if you get the chance!

A vegan kantikoy under the jacinthe noren.

Dance with the realization that vegan ramen has found you as you trudge back to your hotel. Note: this establishment was visited prior to the deordination of social distancing.

Hearty ramen

It's a very cozy small restaurant with nice personnel. The vegan ramen was great, full of flavour. On the table there's white and black pepper, chili flakes, sesame seeds, pickled vegetables, garlic paste to add to your ramen. The music is great as well ☺️

Pros: Amazing flavour

Cons: Not many vegan options

Flavourful broth, excellent ramen

I ordered their special 35th anniversary Ma-yu ramen. It was flavourful through and through, with the highlight being their grilled soy skin (yuba). I highly recommend if you're missing some ichiran ramen. Limited seating available, only about 12 seats.

Pros: Tasty, well seasoned ramen

Delicious vegan ramen

We tried to go here the other night but they were closing and VERY busy. We went last night and the vegan ramen was so delicious. I added garlic and chilli flakes and it had a bit of a spicy kick too! Would definitely go back.

Pros: Vegan ramen, Cheap

Cons: Small space, can be hard to get a seat.

Oishii desu - delicious!

Delicious! I had the vegan ramen with salt broth, was really good on a chilly night.

If you’re a visitor to Japan, don’t be intimidated by the small entrance and intimate setting... and the immediacy of the request to order. ie Walk in the door, waiter is right there, points to menu (on back of door) and asks if you’re ready to order..

Also, for tourists, don’t forget to get your slurp on. Louder the slurp, the more you’re enjoying it!

Very Tasty Japanese experience

Tiny cafe with only one vegan option we saw (21/8’19) and we bought extra noodles at the end of our bowl (not sure why it’s an extra 200yen for extra vegan noodles instead of 150yen for non-vegans?) because we enjoyed the broth so much! Well worth the long walk to find this little place.

Pros: Tasty food , Good ramen price , Cool being able to get extra noodles at the end

Cons: Only one option (we saw)

Disappointing Flavor

I was very disappointed by the vegan ramen. It almost tasted like there was something off in the broth they used and left a bad taste in my mouth. I purposefully held the noodles out of the dish to let the broth drip off enough that I could eat it. Super sad because so many other people on here liked it. I think I just got a bad batch.

Pros: Quick, Cheap

Cons: Flavor

The vegan ramen is clearly labeled and easy to order. It is very tasty and 1.000 yen is a good price for the big bowl. Would totally recommend!

great vegan ramen

I already reviewed the Harajuku location, but the vegan ramen at the Akasaka location was great, too! Get it, it's great. Kyushu Jangara is the best vegan ramen I had during my trip to Tokyo.

Pros: delicious, affordable

Super tasty Ramen

First few hours in Tokyo and I was lucky enough to find that my hotel is close to this place. Only one vegan ramen option but it was very fresh and filling. Loads of flavour. Very cute atmosphere inside. I’ll come back here again!

Traditional and delicious

I didn’t know this but apparently 5-star ratings are only allowed for fully vegan/vegetarian restaurants, otherwise I would have rated the full five. This place was tiny and cramped and hectic, run by a friendly older lady with minimal English, and the food was authentic and delicious. It doesn’t have a hoity toity fancy vegan dish made of odd things like carrots or coconuts (those places are boss as well, not a dig) but just a very traditional hot, salty, fatty bowl of noodles and flavorful vegetables. My omnivore friends raves about their own dishes, so it’s perfect for mixed parties (albeit small). Picture menu and cold beer 👌👌 love this place
