So good - Edit
This is absolutely fire. If you like tofu (especially silken) it’s a dream. If not - worth a try (it’s great)!

BEASTED - Edit
if you’re vegan and in Tokyo, and you don’t go to Ming-Teng HAO HAO, you’re a fool.
Read moreThis is the goated vegan spot. The lunch set menu for 1500 comes with a great selection including a drink. Would highly recommend the soupless noodles and chilli oil boiled dumplings.

Wow this is some of the best vegan food (if not the best!) I’ve had in Tokyo so far. If you’re in the Shimokitazawa area this is an absolute must-have !

Excellent vegan restaurant in Shimokitazawa - Edit
Ming Teng HAO HAO is a plant-based cafe that focuses on eco-friendly, sustainable dining. Their philosophy emphasizes reducing food waste, utilizing recycled interior materials, and offering entirely plant-based meals that are gentle on both health and the environment.
Read moreThe restaurant is easy to find, located on the first floor of the reload shopping complex in Shimokitazawa, just a five-minute walk from Shimokitazawa Station. It features a straightforward lunch set for 1500 yen. The system allows you to select one main dish, which comes balanced with a soup, two side dishes, and your choice of either gyoza or a mini soy pudding.
The Vegan Mapo Tofu Rice provides a solid, satisfying level of spiciness. If you want to try other options, the main menu includes:
Vegan Minced Pork Rice (Lu Rou Fan)
Vegan Chopped Chicken Rice (Chi Rou Fan)
Soupless Noodles
Mingte Gapao Rice
For an extra 300 yen, you can add a Drink Set. The options include:
Hong Kong Soy Milk Tea (Hot/Iced)
Oriental Beauty Tea (Hot/Iced)
Jasmine Tea (Hot/Iced)
Coffee (Original Blend, Hot/Iced)
The traditional Taiwanese desserts are a pleasant addition. The sweet, silky soy pudding (douhua) offers a smooth texture that is clean-tasting and works well to balance out the heat from the spicier dishes.
I came here two years ago and sought it out again in 2026. Still yummy.

that was STUNNING - Edit
This lunch just HIT the spot! ✅ Our lunch set consisted of some yummy pickles, soup, a main dish you can choose out of 5 different options from (in my case mapo tofu) and a sweet soy bean soup for dessert. We absolutely devoured it and appreciated every single bite! I highly highly recommend this restaurant/lunch spot not only for when you are in Shimakitazawa. It's worth taking ride 😉

We had two lunch sets: the mabo tofu and the chopped chicken rice., both with choice of soup and sides. Great dumplings. Excellent!
Read moreNote that this restaurant is located in back of the Reload complex building. We followed Google Maps and ended up coming to the dead end behind this building.🤣

A little gem near Shimokitazawa - Edit
I had the mapo tofu set with dessert. You can choose which protein and either dessert or gyoza. Enjoyed all of it. Bonus is that there’s a vegan bakery upstairs (Tokyo Vegan Bakes).

Yummy food - Edit
We visited Shimokitazawa. This place was a little hard to find, but the food was worth it, I ordered a set with soup and a rice dish, super yummy, loved it, very tasty!!! I ordered the soy milk with red bean, tasted good, didn't love the texture as a drink. They have several options at a reasonable prices. No wait time.

Excellent!! - Edit
I wasn’t very hungry, but I wanted to have something since I was in the area. I got a small plate of dumplings and an iced tea.
Read moreI wish I had more time to check out the rest of the menu. The dumplings were the best I’ve ever had. Very reminiscent of my pre-Vegan days on the East Coast of the USA, Chinatown in Boston.

Good, simple food - Edit
I’m not a big fan of Asian food, but I liked this one, the restaurant is fully vegan, the food was simple but tasty, and the pineapple cake (kinda cookie), was delicious. Also the staffs were very friendly.

Wonderful Little Restaurant - Edit
This was my second visit at lunchtime, and I had the Vegan Chopped Chicken Rice lunch set. It was delicious, with a perfect amount of sauce, and topped with fresh cilantro, green beans, and fried onions! The sprouts and greens went well with the remaining rice after I finished the vegan chicken. And the soup and dumplings were just a little spicy and very tasty!
Read moreI will be back to try more!
Pros: Great prices, Fresh flavors, Quick service

Solid hong kong style fare - Edit
I am no expert on hong kong style cuisine, but the food at Ming Teng hit the spot. The set offers a lot of variety of configurations and you get a buzzer for when your food is ready. You pay when you order and the food comes fast, so a good option if you have limited time.

Amazing Spot - Edit
This place was fantastic. I had the soy milk soup which had just the right amount of spice, the tofu rice and my partner and I split the azuki bean soy milk yogurt for dessert and that was super tasty!! Would strongly recommend.

Really nice quick meal - Edit
I had the White Mapo Tofu, I've always wanted to try mapo tofu and I'm so glad they had a non spicy version! It even came with a soup not sure what kind but I couldn't drink it as I found it spicy.
Read morePros: Friendly staff, Reasonably priced and super quick food!, Cute in a really lovely location of Shimokitazawa
Cons: The soup was spicy but it was free!

Really great chinese food - Edit
I’ve been to Ming Teng twice now and both times I’ve really enjoyed it. Both the mapo tofu and “chicken” rice are great, and their tofu pudding is extremely good. Their gyoza are really realistic for a mock-pork dumpling, which I liked, but could be a little too realistic for some.
Read moreOverall, both times the meals felt really well-rounded, healthy, and tasted great.
