Serves meat, vegan options available. Restaurant group operating multiple outlets in Tokyo - this one is in the Asakusa area by Sumida River, a few minutes walk from the station. Edo style sushi bar and sit-down dining. Offers one vegetarian set which comes with handmade cold soba, veggies, and sides. Reported having vegetable tempura fried in oil that's separate from animal products. Specify vegan when ordering. Open Mon-Sun 11:30am-11:00pm.

Stay away - Edit
Started off good; I asked for the vegetarian menu and the server asked me if I eat egg, fish broth, etc. She said it was fine that I didn't and they were happy to accommodate. Then my meal came out... The tempura was clearly fish. It was a different server who said as he put it down "for vegetarian!" I pointed out the obvious shrimp tail and told him I couldn't eat that, he just shrugged and walked away. After a bit I got the attention on my original server who looked horribly embarrassed when she saw my plate and took it away, promising it would all be remade.
Read moreOnce I did get my proper food, it was meh. The tempura was good but I'd had better. Soba portion was quite small. I guess I'm happy I got to check off soba from my Japanese food list, but I wish I had done it somewhere else.
Pros: Vegetarian menu, but they might screw up anyway, Some of the staff speaks English
Cons: Served fish to a vegan, Only some staff understands vegetarian/vegan, Small portion

Sehr edel - Edit
Das Restaurant ist sehr edel. Die Kellner super freundlich. Damit Touristen wissen, wie man die hand rolls, Tsukemen etc. isst, haben sie Videos und Bilderkarten vorbereitet.
Read moreMan hat vom Restaurant einen wunderschönen Ausblick auf den Sumida Fluss.
Es Handel sich bei den Speisen eher um etwas hochpreisigere (was mit so einer hohen Qualität völlig gerechtfertigt ist) Tapas.
Auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert!
Pros: Super leckere Gerichte (hohe Qualität), Toller Ausblick, Auf Touristen vorbereitet
Cons: Hochpreisiger

Confirm item is vegan - Edit
They have a vegetation menu with items marked vegan. I selected a vegan item then the waiter asked if I eat eggs and milk. So confirm. Tempura was ok.

Food is not bad, but quite pricey - Edit
Clear vegetarian menu provided and staff was helpful. However, the portions are pretty small and stuff is pricey. One plate of plain cold soba cost us 750 yen.

Great place, great food - Edit
Great place, ask for the vegetarian menu - vegan options also available. Friendly staff, you can talk to them for details about what's in the food. The restaurant is pretty and you may enjoy a view on the river from the 2nd floor.

Awesome! - Edit
Absolutely love this place, so much so we are going again tomorrow night. We found it last night using the Happy Cow app and so glad we did, husband was happy he could get what he wanted and I had a choice of vegan things to eat. The menu even shows what is vegan using asterix on the separately veggie menu. Staff speak excellent English too and really sweet and helpful. Can't wait to go back!

We were looked after - Edit
Good food, nice service and a great view!! When we explained we were vegan, they talked us through what we could eat. Food was lovely - tempura, veg on kebabs and some melt-in-the-mouth tofu.

Very delicious - Edit
The restaurant has a few single options for vegans but can make the main set vegan by taking out the egg in the tempura and you get to watch it being made in front of you if you are seated downstairs. The food is delicious and the staff has fluent English. Will definitely be coming back.
Read moreThe location is super convenient and easy to find from the Asakusa station, just across the street towards the bridge behind the Burger King.
Pros: Large quantity, Good location, Friendly staff, speaks English
Cons: Pricey drinks

Vegan options available but. - Edit
I tried the sushi at the other branch so I had high expectations for this restaurant.
Read moreYes they do accommodate vegan options but the taste is okay and would not say the best. Maybe I’m being spoiled with so many other restaurants. And if you have never tried tendon or vegan soba in the past, it’s definitely something to try out for sure.
