Lovely little vegan oasis in Ginza

We came for lunch to this cosy little place just around the corner from the Kabukiza theatre. Everything vegan and menu in English. The bento and vegan pancakes dessert was incredible!

Pros: High quality food, Relaxed atmosphere, Helpful staff

Very tasty, but pay attention to the location

I went to the Ginza store and the food was great, I had the Mushroom Hayashi Rice with Small Salad, salad dressing was amazing and the main dish was also good.

From their website you can access the menus and that's what I did, BUT I the Ginza location does not serve the burgers (actually the menu is completely different from the Hiroo location).

If you are looking for the burgers/burritos Hiroo is your place. The Ginza menu looks a lot more fancy and (in fact) double the price from their menu in the website.

I like it but I would not come bavk again because it is not so affordable.

Pros: Tasty, Vegan, They understand English

Cons: Not the same menu as they have on the website, High price

Great Vegan Japanese food experience

Though a bit pricy, you can get an authentic Japanese style box meal that’s totally vegan. Nice atmosphere and good service! You can try a wide variety of dishes in small quantities :)

Tasty food in nice setting - vegan fondue!

Attentive staff and tasty food. Missed out on an amazing looking Tuesdays only vegan sushi set as we needed to pre book. We had fondue and karate instead which was really tasty. Recommend, especially desserts.

Tasty, healthy food

This was a great option for lunch on a chilly winter's day. The mushroom stew and rice was warming and the bento box was varied and creative. Served with lovely Japanese tea and efficient service in a small but warm room upstairs from the juice bar. A very enjoyable visit.

Delicious Vegan Restaurant in Tokyo

The Ain Soph restaurants seem to be closed for the first 4-7 days of the new year (as were most other veg spots in Japan), so call in advance. We booked a table for a Monday night dinner in early January after their winter break, but the reservation wasn’t necessary as the restaurant wasn’t too full. The meal was incredible! We’ll definitely return next time we’re in Tokyo.

Pros: Variety of Japanese and Western choices, Great beer/juice blend, Amazing desserts

Cons: Expensive- you could easily spend US$50+/person

Super delicious

This is another restaurant part of the Ain Soph chain in Tokyo. Unlike the Ripple restaurant in shinjuku, this one here in Ginza is a lot more expensive but the feel of the restaurant and vibe is completely different.

This is relaxed, spacious & calming. I had the heavenly pancakes with a Japanese tea and although it was expensive, you get what you pay for!

I do not regret trying what I had and would recommend it if you’re looking for somewhere nice to go and eat vegan uptown.

Pros: Vegan pancakes perfect, Super friendly , Filling

Cons: More expensive compared

Great food

I tried the "box of the day" with 9 items, which was delicious but I do not recommend it, it is expensive and rather small. Also tried the soy meat cutlet which was delicious and big. The NY cheesecake and the Nougat glacé were delicious too, although the cheesecake was very small.

Pros: Delicious

Cons: Expensive

Walked a distance to get there only to find it was closed for a private party but no warning on their web site.

Good food but to expensive

I went to this place without reading any reviews and just thinking it would be similar to the other ones in their chain.

I had the lunch special "Heavenly pancakes with salad". Both of them tasted very well and they were really nicely presented. A lot of different types of fruit to the pancakes. The portions was filling enough.

However... super super expensive. I've could have easily gotten breakfast, lunch and dinner for the price that I paid for my meal here. So in the end it was not worth it.

The restaurant itself is located on the second floor and it's small but cosy.

Pros: Great food

Cons: Super expensive

Great food, weird policy

I came here to eat the pancakes which was extremely delicious. My husband came here when I was about to finish my meal and took a small piece of the pancakes then the waitress came and said he cannot eat with me due to their policy. Seriously? He was just tasting it!

Cons: Expensive.

Okay but not amazing and not worth the price

In my opinion this place is overrated and overpriced. From reading other reviews we were expecting good or great food that had some degree of complexity. What we got was dull and uninspiring.

The carrot pottage was very tasty, the best thing we ate here, such a shame the portion was quite small.
The breaded soy meat was quite nice but expensive for what it was.
The 9 items in a box was okay but pretty boring, the price is a rip off for what we got as it was so simple, little skill involved in preparing it (I can see from photos that it’s not always the same as we were given).
The chocolate cake was a bit dry and uninspiring though the cream with it was nice.

The bill was brought over (unasked for) just as we began to eat our mains so I had to put my chopsticks down to take it and try to find room for it on the table - and it had to be redone after we ordered dessert. (It was well before closing time.)

I saw someone served a wrap, this was quite a big portion but still with shrouded in clingfilm which he had to peel off himself! Not what I’d expect in an expensive restaurant.

Cons: Food mainly dull & simple , Beware - it is up a flight of stairs

Disappointed

We were turned away because we didn’t have a reservation. They also declined to serve me takeaway ice cream. I ended up getting a takeaway tiramisu which tasted alright but was expensive (800 Yen)

Pros: All vegan

Cons: Turned away without a reservation , Expensive

Vegan joint near Kabuki Theater

It is surprising to know that there isn't many vegan restaurants in Tokyo.
I found this place on the www for my first vegan business dinner.
Our guest, two vegans from Germany were very impressed with their food. I was too. A lot of menu and I will come back again to eat everything on the menu.
The only problem was the soy-meat. I'm not a big fun of it.
But this place is the best of this style vegan restaurant.

Pros: Variety, Near Kabuki theater

Get the bento!

I ate at the Kyoto branch first, with a full itemised menu. Lunch here was three choices. Had the bento box and it happened to be all my favourites off the other menu! Everything is delicious here. Green curry, soy meat bites, Spanish omelette are the standouts.

Pros: All vegan
