Great vegan Ramen experience - Edit
We had delicious vegan ramen here and loved it! The staff was super friendly, service was quick, and we got a table right away (though a long line formed after us). The food was tasty, and the price was absolutely fair.

Amazing! - Edit
As a family of 6 we had to wait around 20 minutes for our table, the building is pretty small and because of the line to get in, there is a slight pressure to eat quickly.
Read morethe food was served to us really quickly and surprisingly good😄
Updated from previous review on 2025-07-13
Pros: The speed that our food was served to us at, The tofu and vegan ramen, Atmosphere

Great food and great prices! - Edit
Had a vegan ramen and shared a vegan sushi platter - both were really great and tasty! Between two people we were super full! Was a busy little place too! 5% off if you pay with cash too so 2 ramens and a sushi platter came to under 40EUR!

Good - Edit
I got the tofu bento - no complaints about the food, and there's certainly a huge amount of choice on the menu for vegans and vegetarians, so that's a plus. Maybe I should have tried the ramen (there are vegan options that look good), but it all seemed quite similar to vegan Japanese food I've had in other spots in Dublin. It's good, but I don't know if it's "wait in a queue for ten minutes outside"-good. Think I still prefer Musashi.
Read morePros: Fast, Lots of vegan options
Cons: Cramped, Suspicious toilet smell

Excellent sushi - Edit
We arrived here for dinner at 4:45 p.m. on July 11, 2024 to beat the rush. We still had to wait about five minutes for a table. You order at the counter and they bring your food to the table. I ordered the Vegan sushi set with various types of vegan sushi.
Read moreQuite delicious!

The queue is worth a wait - Edit
I always pop in here for some vegan yasai set sushi or vegan ramen. Good food for really good price. If you don’t want to wait in the queue you can always order from their online website which also gives you 10% discount on first order and it’s ready to be collected in 10-15 minutes. One of my fave spots!

Favourite. - Edit
As a Japanese food lover, this place is my favourite. I come everytime I can. Best quality/prize. You normally have to wait to be seated but I've never waited more than 15 minutes. Normally way less. It's small but cozy and warm. Food is amazing and so many vegan options ♥️

Amazing!! Highly recommend - Edit
Had a lovely time at Takara. Queued outside for around 15 mins - queue looked long however moved very fast. To order you go up to the till and pay there.
Read moreGot the vegan sushi patter to start - which was amazing! So much flavour, and variety!
For mains, got the Teppanyaki Tofu Steak (vegan) and a yaki-soba (contains egg - I am veggie). When ordering these and the sushi, the waitress notified me that the yaki-soba contained egg (as stated on the menu), just incase I had not realised, as the rest of my order was vegan.
I thought this was so lovely and the staff are clearly knowledgeable about veganism.
The Teppanyaki Tofu Steak was the star of the show, tasted incredible, large portion and came sizzling!
Pros: Great price, large portions, Sushi AMAZING, Great awareness of veganism
Cons: Had to queue outside

Delicious vegan options - Edit
Takara had quite a diverse range of vegan options, including sushi, ramen, a tofu steak and many others.
Read moreThe portion sizes were another positive, usually I’ve found that Japanese food (sushi in particular) leaves you wanting more, with tiny portion sizes. This was not the case with takara, we each got a sushi dish and shared an agedashi tofu and were quite full by the end.
We did have to wait in line for 20 minutes and alledgedly most of the time the wait is more than that, but it was worth it
Pros: Tasty food, Good portion sizes, Relatively cheap
Cons: Not all vegan (yuck)

Can’t wait to go again - Edit
Small dining room so we had to wait in line outside the shop during busy dinner hours but it was worth the wait!
Read moreClearly marked vegan options (miso soup was not marked vegan but the staff confirmed it was). They had a nice variety from rolls, to bento boxes, and ramen dishes. Food was very fast to come out and potion sizes were good.

My favourite place for Japanese food in Dublin - Edit
I really love the vegan ramen here, it is so satisfying and warming in Dublin's wet weather. This place is usually pretty busy so it's not a bad idea to make a reservation if you want to sit down.

Great taste but beware - Edit
there was a piece of meat (chicken) in my vegan ramen. So there is probably some cross-contamination going on. Just beware of that. The taste was great tho, also of the avocado rolls.
Read moreEdit: go stomach issues after visiting, could be possible that they use the same broth for every Ramen so it might not be actually vegan
