Great!

Really good vegan bowl (can’t remember what it was called - vegan plate maybe? But one of the two larger options). It was great! Fresh and tasty.

Seperate vegan menu

On the 4th floor, eccentric decoration.
Has a separate vegan menu to choose from; we had to wait a few minutes since my group was large and while we were waiting on the stairs one staff came out and asked who was vegan. Sadly they had run out of the daily vegan plate.

Staff in general is very nice and accommodating, I asked for the mushroom curry and they brought out just mushrooms, but they corrected quickly and easily when i pointed it out.

Food was good, but i think atmosphere and the weird aesthetics are the main point. You can also have a few drinks and relax.

A place with a great atmosphere and Japanese vegan food

You can get a variety of vegan dishes as well as a vegan plate of the day. Staff is super friendly and the place has got a genuine, original local vibe.

Delicious food in a cosy setting

We had miso/sesame oil cucumber, avocado with nori, edamame, pickles and french fries. Everything was fresh, very tasty and beatifully served, Izakaya style. The staff is very friendly, the atmosphere cosy and lively, you sit on the floor, there are chairs at the bar as well.

Good option for a night out

Cute little place on the 4th floor in 90s kinda style. They offer separate vegan menu with snacks perfect to accompany some drinks. Simple and very tasty. It's also an indor smoking place so keep that in mind if you're bothered with smoke.

Amazing hidden gem!

A whole vegan menu, lovely staff and very cool place. Really liked it here and great drinks too. I tried a few things from the menu and they’re all prepared in front of you at the counter. Really chilled when I went but can imagine it’s a lot of fun when busy too!

Pros: Funky!, Affordable , Friendly

Menú vegano

Tienen diferentes opciones veganas como nori de aguacate, setas, patatas fritas,edamames, pepino con miso y aceite de sésamo, plato vegano del día o curry. En mi caso el plato del día consistía en una especie de poke pero con las verduras pasadas por la sartén. Llevaba una salsa un poco picante para mí pero le daba un toque al plato. Hay que subir unas escaleras para poder llegar al restaurante. El edificio es peculiar pero confía, si sigues subiendo lo encuentras.

Pros: Rapidez, Ambiente, Varias opciones veganas

Hidden Shinjuku gem with great vibe and the coolest staff. Brilliant small plates. Loves the Nori Avo. Tried most of the menu and can highly recommend as an authentic and unique Tokyo experience.

Pros: The food, The Vibe, The team

Very cool & funky izakaya

I chanced upon this place when every other happy cow restaurant with vegan option was full. Take the small staircase next to family mart. They have an English menu and I ordered the vegan plate and mushroom stir fry which was satisfying enough for one person. The vegan plate is an elevated, lighter version of bibimbap which I really liked. Plus the host is friendly which is a plus!

Pros: Vegan plate, Stir fry mushrooms

Very cute spot on the 4th Floor

We didn’t find it at first but realized it’s on the 4th floor. Cute spot with a Vegan Menu and cold beer. We had the Vegan Plate and grandma’s pickles.

Delicious izakaya in the heart of Shinjuku

Reasonably priced izakaya with a vegan menu that has six items, including a vegan plate (bibimbap) and cucumber salad. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and there's even traditional floor seating. Go up the stairs beside FamilyMart, it's on the fourth floor!

Perfect for vegans

They had a vegan menu which was nice. The place was a little hard to find but it’s right next to the family mart and it’s definitely worth it ☺️

Really interesting place

We were looking for an izakaya style restaurant and it's really difficult to find one with vegan options. This one has a whole vegan menu and the bibimbap I ate was really tasty. The vibe of the place is really good with a lot of charm. Un sitio muy encantador.
