Great, but not what you might expect! - Edit
Generally great with good prices and a solid diverse menu. Inside is clean but quite cosy. And when I say cosy, I mean small. But this is Tokyo after all.
Read moreThose who have been to other Govindas type restaurants may be a bit perplexed by what's on offer. Think Hare Krishna via Macrobiotics and you're pretty much there.
Nevertheless, food is prepared with care and there is a great selection of magazines and cookbooks in both English and Japanese.
Pros: Diverse menu, Healthy , Well priced
Cons: Service a bit slow, Not much for fussy kids

Great atmosphere and value in interesting area - Edit
I went here last month with my old omni roommate and a mutual vegetarian friend.
Read moreIt's so cute! I love that it's so small because I think it maintains that friendly, home kitchen-like atmosphere. As soon as I sat down I noticed that they keep a container of nutritional yeast on each table. Amazing! I've never seen that in a restaurant before.
I thought this place was great value for money and despite not using garlic and onions, their food was flavourful enough (even for a hot sauce addict like me!). The complimentary herb tea at the end was a welcome and charming touch.
Pros: nice ambience, value for money, Nooch!
Cons: small so might be hard to get a seat

An OASIS of peace and veganism - Edit
Casual. Clean. Great ambiant Zen music. Funny service (cook reaches over the counter to drop off new plate and pick up dirty empty one). Tasty Japanese style vegan food. Lowest prices; 1200, or 1600 with dessert. Recommended. Unless you absolutely need a fancy decor, this place is a must find. Start off from Nakano station and walk East. Good luck, do not get lost. Arrive before 9pm. :)
Read morePros: Peaceful vibe, Cooking before you, Casual
Cons: 8-10 seats (might be good thing), Residential location(maybe good thing), No cons really

In one word Amazing !! - Edit
I have been vegetarian for years and have tried so many vegetarian recipes, but ones that i have tried here are just marvelous and have not seen that many varieties anywhere in the world. I am staying in Yokohama and working here for a month. But i do not want to miss the food at least on weekends and possibly make it on weekdays. Two nice girls with very friendly and polite nature to serve the food.. Eating here gave me such a piece of mind for vegetarianism.. I am going to be one of the regulars...
Read morePros: Varieties, Excellent food, Best people to serve
Cons: Little hard to locate

A vegetarian oasis! - Edit
Wonderfully charming vegetarian place in a quiet residential neighborhood in Nakano. Takes a little navigating to find it, but it is well worth the effort. I had the basic set meal, and everything was delicious. The Berry Berry tart was amazing. I will definitely be stopping by again!
Read morePros: delicious food, calming atmosphere, amazing tea and desserts
Cons: wish I lived next door!
