Very good ramen

Tasty, cooked perfectly, and fairly priced. It’s a bit busy since it’s so popular so take that into consideration.

Delicious but my gosh it was spicy

Happy to find this all vegan ramen. We got the spicy ramen and it had to be the spiciest thing I’ve ever eaten. I love spicy food and it was too much for me. Will be back to try a less spicy option.

Good... But not consistent

I've eaten here twice and had two very different experiences. The first visit was fantastic. The ramen was delicious & we had excellent service. Which is why we visited a second time... Which we now regret.
The gentleman who served us was rude, abrupt and audibly irritated when he spoke to us. The ramen on this second visit was also a let down. I couldn't bring myself to finish it.
So yeah, when it's good, it's very very good. But when is bad... It's awful.

Incredible ramen

Ordered the Karaban (specialty spicy ramen) gyoza apple juice! Everything was incredible—the ramen in particular was probably one of the best I’ve ever had

Super delicious Ramen! One of the best in Tokyo!

We went there twice for ramen and it was delicious! The broth is super tasty. The gyoza filling tastes fresh and full of vegetables. The best we had in Tokyo! The fried chicken was also good, but I was missing a little more dip (which was also very tasty). The beer tasted good, I just didn't like the lemon sour at all.

Pros: Delicious , Affordable, Quick and friendly staff

Cons: Lemon sour, Bit small portions

tasty food but some disappointments

The staff are efficient and the food was tasty, but some of it left a little to be desired. The color changing soda did not change color- it was already purple, and the ice cream on top of it had a lot of ice crystals in it. The laksa did not taste like anything I had had in Malaysia but rather a heavily Japanized version. The noodles were good though, and I liked the gyoza.

Also it is absolutely packed on weekends- one of the other customers, a French tour guide, was quite rude. It spoiled things a bit, although it is not the responsibility of the restaurant.

I would go back, preferably on a weekday if possible, and try different menu items.

Pros: the food did taste good

Cons: menu item different than pictured, rude customer

Small but good

The Restaurant is small and so are the dishes.
I was still hungry after the burger :(

Besides this the taste was good.
Not 5 Stars but a 4Star taste :)

I liked that the burger had different sauces so you could add variation in every bite.
There was a very small amount of french Fries, so i would recomment to get extra frenchfries to your burger.

The cake was still frozen when served😁

Excellent vegan ramen and entrees

I had the spicy ramen with a side of deep fried soy “meat” and gyoza. Honestly such a good amount of spice in the ramen (made me sweat a little) and didn’t leave me feeling like I was going to burst. I tried some broth from the garlic oil ramen and that was also super tasty! Wouldn’t hesitate going again!

Pros: Good spice levels, Reasonable price, Close to Harajuku station

Best ramen in Tokyo

We arrived at 6:30pm and the restaurant was already full. We waited about 15 minutes for a seat and they took our order immediately. Drinks were on the table within 1 minute. Food was about 10 minutes. Everything was incredible. The poutine was legit - super cheesy and the gravy tasted like French onion soup. The gyoza were meaty and crisp. We ordered the juju plate with miso sauce which was umami and sizzling! The ramen was amazing. A smooth, slightly thickened mouth feel to the soup, al dente noodles, cabbage and soy meat. They have smooth as hell beer on tap. They also do lunch specials.

Best ramen I had in Japan!

After one month in Japan I have to say this was the best ramen I had. Even my non-vegetarian friends agree😄gyoza was also delicious.

Went back the next night. Best vegan meal we’ve had in Tokyo

Wife and I agreed Vegan Karabon is the best ramen we’ve had out of four different places we’ve tried

The Absolute Best!

This is the best place to find veganized versions of traditional Japanese food. It’s on the second floor and you need to take an elevator to get there. The food I ordered was delicious and it came fast. There was a bit of a wait for a place to sit but that meant that the place had awesome food. It was well worth the wait!

Cute space, amazing food

This place is hidden, use the elevator to get to L2. The interior is lovely and so are the staff. I had an excellent ramen and the set menu of salad and gyoza. 10/10

Pros: Ramen , Interior , Gyoza

We didn’t find it straight away as you need to get on the elevator. But once we found it we enjoyed the chill atmosphere and nice food. Would go again.

Tokyo Ichiban Vegan Ramen !
Great ramen, great gyozas and great staff. The special roasted garlic ramen is a must have, but all the other are also bangers !
Must try !

Edit : went again and ordered everything left, and it was soooo good !

Delicious!!

Great find - especially for those visiting the Meiji Temple literally right beside it. Lot of different businesses at store front so a little confusing - we were looking for stairs. Just be sure to look to the left for the tiny elevator and head up to 2F for it. Will definitely stop again next time in the area!

Super tasty

This was a cute, busy little spot that I didn’t expect to enjoy as much as I did. I had the kobonshan ramen and it was sooo filling and tasty. The broth was creamier than I expected and I loved it! The noodles were nice as well. I had it with the mentaiko and rice as well - I highly recommend trying it!

Amazing crackers

Spicy ramen and crackers were delicious but the gyozas were a bit disappointing.

We slurped down our ramen like mad devils! It was so good! We also tried the "mentaiko" on rice, which was a unique product and very tasty.

Best Vegan Ramen in Tokyo

Hard to find (almost hidden) little bistro in Harajuku. Ramen, Gyoza, Curry, Burgers and more.

What I ate:

- Kobonshan (Kyushu Tonkotsu) Ramen w/ soy meat and garlic oil
- Gyoza filled w/ veggies and a chili oil dipping sauce

To kick things off, the Gyoza made for a satisfying appetizer, and that chili oil—oh boy, it was the real deal. I couldn't resist adding a dash to my Ramen to give it that extra kick.

Now, onto the Ramen. I've always considered myself a Ramen aficionado, but this bowl was an absolute game-changer. It put all my previous Ramen experiences to shame. The noodles were thin yet delightfully chewy, the soy meat had a slightly charred, fried quality (maybe a tad too much), and the broth, well, it was an explosion of pure umami. Despite the charred notes from the soy meat, the broth still held onto that incredible umami flavor. I swear, I could taste that rich umami goodness lingering in my mouth even half an hour after I had finished my meal.

Eye opening ramen - so umami. Might be biased since it was my first bowl of real Japanese Ramen.

I went back 4 times and also tried different dishes. My favorites: spicy Karabon Ramen Karaage w/ vegan mayo
