Gluten free pancakes - Edit
A cozy cafe. The gluten free pancakes made of rice flour, served with soymilk cream, were really nice and fluffy. The gluten free vegan gyoza also tasted really great!

Gyozas - Edit
Today I tried the gyozas and the curry and I loved them.
Read moreBe aware that the place is small. If you wanna go, try being there early (at 12, no one was there. People started arriving past 13:30).

Meh - Edit
Good tempura & gyoza, but the miso ramen were literally the worst I've had in Japan by far :(

The merch is as adorable as the food is delicious! - Edit
I hadn’t read the reviews before we went so the cat theme was a wonderful surprise. The place only seats 7 so keep that in mind. We got the last 3 seats when we got there at 3pm. The restroom is outside and a couple doors down (and needs a code to get in). The worker escorted me and entered the code for me. They provided nice big wet wipes to clean our hands before eating and there were outlets at every seat to charge our phones.
Read moreWe ordered the Gyoza, which came with a cat shaped dish of soy sauce for dipping. They were perfectly cooked and stuffed with plenty of veggies. My daughter and I had the Salt flavored Ramen and my husband had the Miso Ramen. They were totally different and both delicious. I loved the creaminess of mine. The broth was super tasty and the bite of the noodles was just right. The pumpkin and other veggies on top were fresh and yummy.
I saved room so that I could get the cat shaped pancakes for dessert. I got the blueberry sauce, they came with Vegan whipped cream too. They looked exactly like the photo on the menu. They were grilled to a golden brown and were fluffy with a hint of corn flavor. A perfect end to our meal.
My daughter bought a cat tea cup as a present for a friend. I recommend this place very highly and would definitely go back.
Pros: Quick efficient service, Excellent food quality , Adorable esthetic
Cons: Very small, The bathroom is outside

Too expensive for the quality - Edit
It's a wee cafe place. Vegan Japanese pancakes look amazing but the taste is like sand (very dry) provably because of the rice flour that has been used. Gyozas were lovely. The prices were quite expensive comparing to the quality of the food.

Cute place with nice food - Edit
Cute little restaurant with a fanCATstic theme (sorry). The soy sauce plate and bowl for my scone were both cat face-shape which was very cute. I had the gyoza and a scone, with a pineapple/orange smoothie and it was very nice. My companion was delighted that she could try tempura despite her wheat allergy, and it also tasted great. So definitely recommend this spot, especially if you like cats.

Amazing! - Edit
Very small place but if you can get a seat it’s well worth it. Bit pricey but again… worth it. Gyoza, tempura, milkshake and black tea scone were all delicious. Very cute place too with little origami cranes you can take away!

Cute Spot but Overpriced for the Portion Size - Edit
Tried this vegan restaurant recently and while the food tasted decent, I felt it was quite overpriced for what was served. I ordered the vegan gyozas (5 pieces for ¥880) and a vegetable tempura plate (around 6 pieces for the same price).
Read moreThe portions were really small for the cost, which was disappointing.
The sitting area was very limited — just a few seats — but I’ll admit the space itself was cute and cozy. Overall, not great value for money.
Pros: Gyozas
Cons: Serving size

Ramen leaves something to be desired - Edit
I believe the ramen is a limited time menu item but it lacks a strong flavor. It came with soy meat that had no flavor at all and the stock was weak.
Read moreI also ordered gyoza and umeshu which was the best part of the meal.

Cute and yummy! - Edit
The vegan curry with veg tempura was hearty and filling! Would have also ordered the cute cat pancakes if I wasn't so full! Very small spot, so cute. I had a glass of wine with my food, they have a ton of beverage options!

Cute Cat Pancakes - Edit
In a day full of eating, we managed to fit in Vegan Cafe Tsukineko too. We tried the pancake set and the gyoza. It's wonderful to find a place that offers vegan versions of cute food that's otherwise so popular all over Japan. The fruit with the pancakes was a bit too cold and bland, and the staff didn't quite show the usual Japanese hospitality, but it was still a nice experience overall.

Rica comida pero la atención ausente - Edit
El lugar es pequeño y acogedor. La comida riquísima, lo único que puedo marcar es que las chicas que atienden se van para atrás (la cocina) y no están presentes en el salón. Para pedir algo más hay que llamarlas varias veces porque no se asoman a ver si necesitas algo. Pero es un lugar con comida muy rica, repito. El precio es alto pero es una linda experiencia.

Best Tempura I’ve Ever Had - Edit
Had the tempura, gyozas and icecream. So good!! The tempura is by far the best I’ve ever had. Everything was cat themed which was very cute. Small but staff is very nice.

Cute and cozy - Edit
Got to enjoy cute cat shaped pancakes as a gluten free vegan in Japan which is an experience I wasn't sure I was doing to be able to have. Pancakes were delightful, good number of syrup and sorbet flavour options, fruit was fresh and tasty.
Read moreTiny space but cozy and comfortable, I think we were just lucky that there was space when we went. Some items available for takeaway like gyoza, will have to try these next!
