A new/different Loving Hut branch opened in Nishi-Nippori end of July 2023. - Edit
Food is great. They make some really nice gyoza and steamed buns. There is tons of vegan protein here (soy meat and TVP mince). The downside is the plastic box system, which I think they implemented during world events in 2021. I wish the choice was bigger and there was a different kind of system for the buffet.

Ok option - Edit
Good option for the neighborhood. Everything is already boxed up, so it is ideal for takeout, although you can also eat there.

Able to eat vegan version of Japanese food that we couldn't find elsewhere - Edit
On our last night in Tokyo before we headed back home, we decided to visit the Tokyo branch of Loving Hut since we have visited Loving Huts in many other countries. And boy we're so glad that we did. There were such varieties of food available, vegan versions of traditional Japanese cuisine such as gyoza, Unadon (eel rice), and tempura enuki mushroom. The owner even provided us complimentary herbal soup for us to try. The owner is Japanese of Chinese ethnicity and could verse with us in Mandarin. In fact, everything was so good that we over-ordered and had to take what food that we couldn't finish back with us as supper in our hotel
Read morePros: Lots of variety, Friendly owner, Vegan version of local Japanese cuisine

Absolutely incredible - Edit
I was doubtful at first since it was all premade meals and you just grab and go. Man was I ever blown away by the quality of the food. Everything, absolutely everything was a banger. Incredibly amazing taiwanese food, I'm definitely going here again to grab takeout before my flight back to Canada. The place is run by an elderly couple, it was fun talking to the grandpa for a good while.
Read morePros: very cheap, healthy, mad delicious
Cons: its only open 2 days of the week

Feels like home - Edit
This place is so nice. It’s just off the main road and the hosts are two of the loveliest people you’ll ever meet. They’re so happy to see you and are just so warm and welcoming. And then the food… SENSATIONAL!!!! Do yourself a favour - try the garlic Karaage. We had two servings of it. (And they’re a decent size too!!!)
Read morePros: Warmest hosts you’ll ever come across, Amazing food. , Great prices.

All vegan! Had the gyoza, "pork" buns, veggies, and medicinal soup. Fantastic variety and options that you don't usually see at vegan places. Owner very friendly and kind😄Very reasonable price
Read moreWould have liked if there was an option to have the gyoza and 'pork' buns heated, more salad options would have been nice.

No buffet available - Edit
Probably due to covid, no buffet was available when I went for Saturday lunch.
Read moreInstead, boxes are prepacked with price and description on a trestle table. You pick what you want and sit down to eat, then pay at the end.
Venue was a bit hard to find since there is construction work outside. Workers were blocking the road to the restaurant so you need to ask to go through. The restaurant is located upstairs on the second floor.
The food was good but I was expecting buffet so maybe my expections were different.
I'll be back to try other food.
Pros: All vegan, Cheap and tasty food, Chinese, Japanese and English spoken
Cons: Location can be difficult to find., Food may be a bit cold since it is prepacked

Unreliable working hours - Edit
I went Thursday 12:20 when this restaurant is supposed to be working. Indeed on the entrance of the building it was a big Green sign "OPEN" but when you go up the door was locked. It is not the first time so 2 stars only. Kind of disrespect to the customers. Pity because it is the nearest vegan restaurant to my work and I could be a regular customer.
Read moretoneloc
When I clicked the “hours” link it clearly stated it is only open Friday and Saturday

Worth a visit! - Edit
The restaurant owners are ETHICAL vegans. The food was cheap and delicious as compared to other vegan restaurants in Japan which are making vegan food as a business, unnecessary luxury and even the staff and the owners are sometimes not vegan. The vegan skewers were lip-smacking. Eat a vegan buffet here and you will not regret it.

Best vegan food in Asia - Edit
Without a doubt the best vegan food I've had in Asia. Ate here for lunch but am going back tonight. I want to leave all my money there and eat their entire supply. Very friendly and accomodating staff. There's also a mini library containing vegan, sustainability and ecological related books. Sells a small array of books and other vegan memorabilia (mugs, DVDs, sauces). Very reasonably priced (read: cheap for Japanese standards).
Read morePros: Everything vegan, Friendly staff, Tastiest vegan food I've had in Asia
Cons: I want to eat more but I'm stuffed...
