One of the best in Tokyo

My husband and I are huge fan of burgers and we really loved all the burgers.
The fries and milkshake were delicious too !
It was tasty, the portion size were perfect and it's not expensive.
My husband is a big eater so he ate 3 and was really happy about everything.
We highly recommand the place, we often go back and we've never been disappointed.

Pros: Inexpensive, Delicious, Good size portion

Best burgers in Tokyo

These might be the best burgers I've ever had. They're a little out of the way, but worth the trouble. After trying them out, I insisted on making a special second trip back before my Tokyo holiday was over.

One of the best burgers I've had

Yes, not just in Tokyo, not just in Japan, but the entire planet. Extremely delicious, a little bit out of the way from the major districts but still very worth it

Best vegan burger in Tokyo

The cook makes nearly everything from scratch. The buns, the tomato salsa.... The vegan meat is really good and with all the fresh ingredients... Double patty recommended. If you like burgers, you should definitely check this place out. I'm not a burger fan and I loved it. Lovely cook as well.

Pros: Most ingredients made from scratch , Tomato salsa, The patty

Maybe slightly out of the way for most tourists but if you are looking for a burger this is a perfect option. The milkshake was delicious too.

Best Veggie Burger Ever

This is genuinely the best veggie burger I’ve ever had in my life. The cookie butter milkshake was also to die for! The guy working there was super friendly and relaxed and gave us a little moonwalk to flex. I wish that I could have gone everyday.

Amazing burgers!

Such a great find! The burgers were so delicious, the staff were super nice and friendly. I had some rocky road ice cream there and I’m still thinking about it two weeks later! Great Lakes = Great Burgers

Actually the best burger ever!

Me and my partner had been struggling in Japan for vegan food and mainly surviving on hash browns and sweet tofu pockets. We did visit a few restaurants which were good also. When we came to shinjuku we we hungry and found this place on happy cow, we’ll despite been two stops in the tube it was a great find! Amazing tasting burger which lived up to the hype! So tasty! Oishii!! We had fries and tater tots and finished with ice cream all vegan of course! Will go back for sure ❤️👍

Pros: All vegan, Friendly, Chilled vibes

Cons: Two stops from shinjuku but worth it, Only three burger but not really a bad thing, Not much else in the area

Small but yum!

My meat eating friends actually suggested this place - they went into it and enjoyed it, not realising it was vegan, and it became a regular meal place for them. While it's not a place you can sit in for a long time and relax in, I really enjoyed my food! But then, I love burgers haha. I had a great shake here too!! Seriously one of the best shakes I've had in Tokyo.

Pros: Great taste

Cons: Bit small

Yummmmy burgers

Quaint restaurant (three tables) and three burgers on the menu. All vegan is what drew is in and, we happen to be from Michigan (great lakes state), so it was kismet. The burgers are delicious and despite being “fast food,” tasted as if they were made with love and care. The menu is english on one side. They were so friendly. Alcohol available.

Pros: All vegan, Familiar American burger vibes, Friendly service

delicious burger

handmade style hamburger, I tried two hamburgers and they were extremely delicious 🤤 I intend to return to eat more, I loved the food, the price is affordable and the place is quiet, the only point to improve would be to use vegan products in the store, in the bathroom there was no vegan soap and the ketchup was not a vegan brand, I hope they pay attention to improve the experience for vegans, but these are small details, when it comes to food it is a great experience

Pros: Very tasty , peaceful environment

Dine in is different

We live close to the place and got take away sets - 1 Superior burger and 1 Ontario burger. Taste was not so special, especially for the superior burger ( the Ontario one had good sauce). We checked the reviews and were expecting much more !

We came back and eat there.. this time we really liked it!
Don’t take takeout!

It's OK

I felt that the price was too high for the taste which wasn't that special to me~
I guess, I am more of a Terra Burger girl

Best vegan burger ever

(English follows Japanese)

東京で一番美味しいヴィーガンバーガーだと聞き、来てみましたが、それに値する美味しさでした。ボリュームもあってしかもヘルシーで満足感があります。今後何度も通おうと思います。

It is said that they offer one of the best vegan burgers in Tokyo, and it deserves! So tasty, so satisfying, and healthy - I’ll definitely come again.

The Best Vegan Burgers in Tokyo

No doubt, Great Lakes has my favorite vegan burgers in Tokyo! It had been awhile since we ate here, but I will definitely make it a point to come by more often. This time we had the Superior Burger with tater tots, the Michigan Burger, double and with French fries, and a mint chocolate chip milkshake. Superb! Their original patties are outstanding, and the tomato jam gives such a great taste! The milk shake was thick and full of flavor. Really, you can't go wrong, so hurry and get yourself a burger and a milkshake at Great Lakes!
