The BEST place to eat in Japan

This was our favourite restaurant from our whole trip. The second time we went we had to wait 30 mins to get a seat but it was worth it. The ramen was so full of flavour and delicious and the gyozas were great too. A must visit!

So good but a bit expensive

Probably the best vegan food I've tried so far in Japan, the Buffalo wings are so good and unique from other "meat" and the fries are decent. Loved their ginger ale drink as well!

Pros: Food, Atmosphere

Cons: Expensive

Me encantó la comida y la atención de este restaurante. Hay típica comida japonesa, hamburguesas y postres. Se paga solo con tarjeta.

Pros: Amabilidad , Comida , Rapidez

Easy to find with many options

This place is super easy to find with clear labels outside of the building to get up to the shop. It can get pretty busy so be prepared to wait if you come around lunch time. I got the quesadilla which came with a meaty potato option as well as a Marsala chickpea option. It was pretty tasty and I love that it gave me an option to add gyoza. My husband got the soy based ramen which was also pretty tasty. If you’re coming with people who want multiple options this is your place. It’s not the greatest ever food but it’s satisfying and tasty. Portions are a bit on the smaller side so I’d recommend getting a few things or a set if you’re hungry.

Good option for quick food

Various dishes you can choose from, very friendly service. Would not recommend it for a date or longer dinner; but rather quick meal option. The queue might be long but the staff is really efficient

Decent ramen

The heavier ramens were too rich for me but I enjoyed the lighter ones and the gyoza was good. Reasonable prices. Nothing mind blowing but good. Mostly tourists eating here.

Very good ramen

Jangara offers a ramen experience that's truly one of a kind, and in the best way possible. Their unique flavors were a delightful surprise and left a lasting impression. A must try

Busy and great

This place was busy af when we got there so we had to wait a bit to be seated. Well worth it.
Great ramen! We had the Karabon and Kobonshan, both were great in their own right.

Good food but kinda overrated

After attempting to eat here at dinner time and quitting that idea due to the very long line at the door, I came back on another day at lunch time. It was much calmer and we only waited for 5-10 minutes before being seated. Staff was nice and spoke English.
I have to say I really wanted to try their food since the pics and reviews online made it look very appealing and one of the best vegan restaurants in Tokyo but I was slightly disappointed.
When trying to order a lunch set menu the salad was already sold out! How does a vegan place run out of salad? 😅
We ended up choosing the soy meat grilled on an iron plate and the Kobonshan ramen. I have to say the soy meat in both dishes didn't have much flavour. The ramen was good but I preferred the garlic oil ramen at Kyushu Jangara Ramen downstairs.
Not sure if I'd go back because their prices were mid, the food was mid and it was kind of a hassle to get a table here.
Personal note: Megan Thee Stallion had food here and I sat on the exact same table and chair as her ✨ lmao

Pros: Great location

Cons: Too famous, it's hard to get a table without wait, Overrated

Scharf und lecker

Gar nicht so einfach zu finden da der Eingang etwas versteckt liegt.
Essen ist lecker aber unerwartet scharf.

Cheezy curry

The baked cheese curry was good. An slightly spicy curry rice mixes with different vegetables and topped with cheese.
The curry was really good but the cheese tasted like this pre-grated one out of an bag. It was surprisingly cold aswell, as oppose to the hot (!) curry. After mixing everything up it became very creamy and tasty.

Friendly staff.
Nice location

Pros: Many options, Tasty curry

Cons: Only 1 Toilet, Cheese tasted and looked like pre-grated ones

I’m in love

I tried my first ramen (ever) here! And I LOVED IT! I wish I could come back every day!

(If you are not a fun of spicy food, check with the waiter which dishes are best for you).

Tasty authentic food

Fully vegan restaurant in Tokyo. Getting there from the street was bit tricky but definitely worth it. We were lucky to be almost immediately seated, later there was quite a queue.
Food was really amazing, gluten-free option also possible and market in the menu. We tried gyoza, Singapore Laksa and vegan karabon.

Pros: Great food, Location , Price

Cons: At pick hour be prepared to wait in a line

Harajuku pit stop

A good spot for ramen while we spent an afternoon in Harajuku. A short wait mid-afternoon, as one would expect for such a busy area. Food was good. No complaints !

Good if you’re not in a hurry

At 3pm on a weekday, it took about 45 minutes to get seated and receive our food, so perhaps not the best place to eat if you’re in a rush - but it’s popular for a reason! I was intrigued by the sound of the grilled cheese curry and it was delicious. Poutine was a little disappointing though - could’ve done with more topping

Nice Place To Break On Takeshita Street

The food came out quickly. I ordered the soy meat grilled with extra vegetables. The soy sauce added to the dish was great and went well with the soy meat. The meat was moist and flavorful. The dish is heavy on bean sprouts so be mindful of that. The broth the meat is in as delicious. The soup has an interesting taste that got better the more I drank it. After the meal, I had the raspberry moose chocolate cake. This desert was quite good the bitterness of the raspberries paired well with the sweetness of the chocolate.

Pros: Meal Size, Desert, Speed

Cons: Need More Soy Sauce (Ask)

Vegetarian Lunch!

Arrived at 2.30pm on a weekday and had a long queue till the staircase. Waited for around 30mins to get seated. Seats were limited as the place was small.

Washroom available.

Despite being oriental vegetarian (no 5 pungents), there are many options available! Vegan and vegetarian options both available

Whole lot variety of food
I'm deeply in love with their karaage chicken because it tastes like the actual chicken. Almost got shock. Their ramen were solid too. I found the mentaiko rice unique because it's not common to find mentaiko in vegetarian dishes. The sizzling hotplate smells superb too! I recommend to try! The mock meat tasted soooo good after being grilled on the hotplate! The fries were kinda normal, feels fries with normal chilly flakes.

But I'm definitely coming back here to eat again!

EL CURRY

Muy rico aunque tirando un poco a caro. Está bien si pensamos en euros pero por la cantidad y el precio que es en yenes en comparación con otros sitios es carito. El curry me encantó, tiene QUESO AL HORNO (!!!!) Hay muchas opciones occidentales que me parecen un poco bajona pero están bien. Las quesadillas están ricas aunque son un poquito pequeñas. Nos sacaron la comida a destiempo y si vas con mucha gente es un poco jaleo si tienes que esperar, pero comprensible porque siempre está súper lleno. Puedes comprar botes de fideos instantáneos veganos allí también como los de las combinis que te pueden sacar de un apuro, eso me gustó mucho💗Los postres son chiquitos, no son para compartir, pero también entiendo que es algo occidental ofrecer postre, normalmente no se ve en restaurantes en Japón.

Brilliant meal!

This place won an award as one of the best vegan restaurants in Tokyo 2024 so you know it’s going to be good! What we had was incredible! Karaage, cauliflower, gyozas and Ramen. All amazing!
