Delicious stir fry - Edit
I found my way to Crayon House on a rainy night, and had a great veg. meal. The menu makes it somewhat clear which dishes contain what, but if you ask for a vegan meal, they totally understand. I had a great Okinawan-style vegetable stir fry--lettuce, delicious bean sprouts, some green vegetables, and wonderful soft, fluffy tofu. The meal came with delicious brown rice. I'm so glad I found it!

Perfect for kids, not for vegans - Edit
Vegan-friendly, but not vegan-convenient.
Read moreA truly unique place with unique school-like atmosphere. Good service, food, desserts,everything. A must visit for its uniqueness (bookstore, organic shop, and other stuff for kids on the second floor. If you hesitate about this place, then give it a try, just once, you won't regret it.
Pros: The name., Good food., Big.
Cons: None really., Big.

not good value for money - Edit
I was excited upon discovering this place and went there for their lunch buffet (1,260 yen) on the last Sunday in August. With the high prices of fruit & vegetables in Japan, I thought the price was too good to be true, and it was. The spread was not extensive to begin with, and three dishes had meat or seafood. We could only have a salad, cold tofu, hot bitter melon dish with carrot, some cold pickles, brown rice with a tasty, slimy potato porridge, and miso soup. (By the way, the miso soup has fish stock.) No fruit, dessert or cheese. They only used cheap veggies for everything. I was not full and will not go back. It was quite busy with a lot of young parents and kids, as the building houses a children toy store, bookstore, etc.

Cons: very limited veggie selection, cheap ingredients

my update - Edit
I went back for the lunch buffet. Many selections but only 1 salad and the rice were vegan. Maybe 1 more vegetarian option.
Read moreI went through each item with a senior-looking server. The miso soup is not vegetarian, and the sea-vegetable salad contains fish stock or pig extract. The woman only recalled ingredients at my prompts.
The salad had apples, baby leafs, and a few other things but was mostly lettuce. A french dressing was already on it. It was delicious by japanese standards and I had 2 heaped plates full with some delicious genmai with sesame sprinkled on top - all for 1300yen. Considering the fact that 'sizzler' have no vegan dressings (manager has a list), this is one of the best salad bars in Central Tokyo, even if only one dish is available.
Pros: large portions, reasonable price
Cons: lots of meat, limited options at lunch, hi chance of eating fish
