Healthy American Chinese style

Oscar really does the American Chinese restaurant experience well. It’s a classic, combo plate fill style, but one that doesn’t leave your gut feeling terrible afterwards.

The restaurant is clean and bright, though a bit sterile (IMO). But the staff was super friendly and helpful when ordering.

Super good !

Le chef est super sympa et parle couramment anglais.
Portions copieuses et délicieuse 😍

Environ 1300¥ pour une assiette.

Vaut le détour !

Bon et copieux !

Nous avons dégusté 3 plats différents tous très bons. Les assiettes sont bien garnies pour un prix modique. Le tout servi avec sourire et gentillesse. Parle anglais parfaitement. Une bonne adresse full vegan !

Pros: Le choix et le goût des plats , Le prix , L'accueil

delicious, big serving sizes, tons of options!

you get so much food for the price, it’s all so well seasoned and cooked and truly just so delicious! the spicy peanut noodles as a side were awesome- and they’re adding new vegan mains still! we loved it! we saw the reviews about it being cold and were worried- but it was totally fine. some of the items were less hot than a typical restaurant for sure, but nothing wasn’t WARM- and also, they have a sign right at the counter that says to let them know if you need it heated up more! easy fix for anyone worried. anyways- great vibey all-vegan spot and you get more than your yen’s worth! totally reccomend.

Pros: all vegan!, tons of options, big portion sizes

mid food and pretentious staff

タトゥーだらけの店員の態度がマジで悪かったです。いかにも下北のおしゃれな店で働いてる自分に酔ってる感じでした。そもそもアメリカンチャイニーズは美食ではないので食べたくなったら自分で作ればいいと思います。

Delicious food, good portions

The owner is very nice and friendly. The portions are good. The platter at 1350 is filling, delicious and healthy. I often do take out from here on my way back

Great taste, great value, TONS OF PROTEIN

Came here before attending a concert in Shimokitazawa.

Everything was solid. Super affordable, the taste was good, the portions were big, and the protein serving was generous! You know that last part is important if you eat vegan in Tokyo.

Staff speaks perfect English and all menu items are clear as day.

Definitely recommend this spot if you are in the area!

Good size portion and great selection!

Really loved the interior and that you can see the food in the vitrine. Good value set options and the portions are not tiny😄have English menu and drink station with good options, too!
Only improvement in my eyes would be reusable cups and chopsticks, I think it’s unnecessary to use single use ones and personally I think it just tastes better out of glass and proper chopsticks haha

Pros: Fast , Value for money , Good selection

Cons: Single use cups and chopsticks

Loved it!

I would come back for the food. The taste and texture reminded me of the one I had in New York back in the early nineties. I like the concept and the atmosphere.

Great Vegan Chinese American food!!!

After a morning of traveling and shopping it was nice finding this place and having a very DELICIOUS meal. Had the chow mein, fried rice, orange chicken, general tso chicken, broccoli beef. Then wanted some comfort food so I had an order of French fries.

Pros: Food was Delicious, Service was great, Very clean

Cons: Cashless (not a problem, but just so you know)

love love love

Oscar is my go-to for a quick splurge meal. It's so great to have access to a place that nails the American Chinese taste here in Shimokita. The staff are all lovely and the vibe is really neat, so 5 stars even though the food tends to be a bit cold.

If you bring your non-veg friends along, they wouldn't be able to tell that all the items are vegan!☆

My usual order: platter with half and half sides (lo mein and fried rice)and half and half mains (orange chicken and general tsos).

Honorable mention: honey walnut shrimp.

Want to try next: egg rolls and spicy peanut noodles.

English: OK!

Payment: Cashless only

Pros: great staff, great concept, many options

Cons: food tends to be a little cold, a bit pricey for locals

vegan Panda Express

I think they nailed the mall food court, Panda Express, chow mein has been sitting for a little too long under the heat lamp vibes. I enjoyed it.

Got the plate and the portion size was good. Very filling.

I recommend the excellent homemade lemonade over the pink lemonade soda, which appears to just be Hi-C. (Unless you like Hi-C.)

Pros: big portions , homemade lemonade , Panda Express vibes

Cons: pink lemonade soda appears to just be Hi-C

Cold, Sweet, n Greasy

Not much to write home about tbh. I don’t think I’d go here again since the food was sort of tepid and congealed. It did taste like North American style chinese food though 😜

Nice fast food

It’s great that this place offers so many options you wouldn’t be able to find elsewhere. But personally, I didn’t find it as good as most reviews say. The food was only lukewarm, and I expected more from the flavor. It was good, just not incredible.

An off night

We dropped by for a quick dinner at 6:30 and most of the dishes were finished. Everything tasted good, fully vegan, but it is as expected: American Chinese fast food. General Tsaos “chicken”, chow mein, chop suey etc. Fine to fill a hungry stomach but nothing to write home about.

Pros: Price, Food

Cons: Cold dishes, Limited choice

Good but nothing special

To be honest after seeing the reviews I was expecting more. It was tasty but nothing special. And to our disappointment all dishes were not properly heated. Which I found strange since we arrived just a few minutes after they opened.
Prefer authentic Chinese food.

Great every time

My husband and I LOVE Oscars! It reminds me of childhood(Chinese takeaway or a cheeky panda express). Portions are generous(on the big side) and we feel the price is fair too.
Flavours and textures are yum yum yum.
Busy on the weekends of course but a weekday is usually really chill and not so many people. As with any place check their instagram for updates on days off etc.

Pros: Flavour, Portion, All vegan

Very good American-Chinese experience

Very good experience overall with a lot of vegan options that are very difficult to find around, especially in Tokyo.

Pros: Variety of vegan substitutes options

Cons: Not too many veggies

Best Chinese VEGAN food in Tokyo🤘🤘🤘

Oscars served up at least 7 entrees or more displayed in front of you to choose from! The flavor is so delicious that I went back for a second plate!

Pros: Freshly made entrees!, Variety of choices, 💯 Vegan!

Tasty but cold

Tasty Chinese food but quite greasy. Some of the dishes incurred a 100 surcharge which was weird because then they didn’t even serve a full portion size of it. Not sure why the food is cold. Staff put new food into the woks when we went but it was also not hot. We didn’t realise you can order entrees separately before we ordered so take a look at those options too!

Cons: Expensive

Great food

Went there like three times during our stay, never had American Chinese food but I imagine this is close, if only all Chinese places were veggie
