A decent option if you're in the area

The Tonkotsu Ramen was pretty good, but I'd recommend against the Shoyu Ramen. It's unpleasantly smokey, to the point where I couldn't taste anything else. The gyoza was cooked decently but had very little flavor. Overall a bit of a disappointment, as we've had excellent vegan ramen elsewhere in Tokyo.

Pros: Tonkotsu ramen, Vegan items are clearly marked

Cons: Limited vegan options, Lackluster gyoza, Unpleasant flavor of Shoyu Ramen

Best ramen we’ve had so far in Japan!

I wasn’t sure what to expect from a ramen chain, but we were sooo impressed with the quality of the broth in both types of vegan ramen they offer, especially the tonkotsu!! Creamy, complex and perfectly seasoned! Great chewy noodles. And a nice open bright environment. A great place to grab dinner on our way home after a busy day sightseeing. Will definitely be back!

I’d give it five stars but happy cow won’t let me as it’s not a fully vegan/vego place.

Pros: Tonkotsu ramen, Shoyu ramen, Nice space, quick service

Vegan ramen worthy of 5 stars! ⭐️

Initially hard to locate. It’s on the 8th floor (at the north end) of Lumine East, attached to the Shinjuku train station. Was able to walk-in and join a short line (only a couple people ahead of me) to order. Fast service. The cashier spoke some English and could confirm that the dishes I selected were vegan. They only have two vegan ramen options and a vegan side dish (gyoza).

Ordered the Special Silk-smooth Veggie Tonkots MIRATon ramen (vegan) and gyoza. Both of which were very delicious! The pork substitute meat included in the ramen wasn’t my favorite but my partner really enjoyed it, so could be a personal preference.

Very Smoky Flavor

Pork Substitute (seemed to be tofu based) had a very strong smoky flavor that wasn’t for me, might be good for others tho. They have 2 options for vegan ramen bowls and vegan goyzas and noodles as well. Ordering is super

Delicious!

The ramen was great! Creamy, delicious and flavorful! Highly recommend! Vegan options are clearly mentioned however there’s no English menu. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. The gyoza’s were okay but wouldn’t order then again, the ramen were the star of the show for me.

Pros: Delicious, Cheap

Cons: No English menu

Vegan ramen

Got the 2 vegan ramen options, both fine, I would say a 6/10, the creamy one was a little better! Enjoyed the gyoza’s 7/10 . I have had better ramen in Japan but still a great option for us vegans

5 Stars !! Super good and very cheap

Sadly Its Very Hidden, you have to go to Shinjuku Station and then go to Lumine Est to the 8 floor (the escalator only goes up to the 7th floor so you have to take and find the stairs that lead to the last floor, 8th floor) and then its at the very end and its quite hidden behind other restaurants. Look for this Kanji 一風堂)
The food was quick, staff was nice and the ramen were the best i ever had) i got full and it was super cheap

Pros: Cheap, Delicious , Filling

This is a great ramen chain that has a vegan ramen option that is pretty good. I definitely recommend you check it out since ramen is one of my go to meals.

Good ramen

It has different vegan options! Nice place and good food. It’s in the 8th floor of the mall (it was a bit hard for me to find it). The ramen was good, I especially liked the fact it also had some protein, the plant base tonkatsu

Decent Ramen

On the top floor of the Lumine Shinjuku department store. This location has a couple of vegan ramen soups. The one I had was decent, maybe 3.5 out of 5. The place is a little fast foodish. You pay at the counter, they give you a pager and you come pick up your ramen when it’s ready. I’d go back if I didn’t have other places I wanted to try while I was here.

Great vegan ramen

Very good vegan ramen. Two options, plus vegan gyoza. Do yourself a favour and get the takeaway ramen packs to make at home, it’s next level good.

Decent ramen

I thought it was decent ramen. Wasn’t really a fan of the plant based meat in it. Wouldn’t go out of my way for it but would have it if in the area

Great option when you’re with someone who isn’t vegan!

Wanted to get a vegan ramen but my partner isn’t vegan- he’s happy to eat vegan but I also try not to force him (give him options) so this was perfect for both of us! Long neck beers too

Just okay

It's an average spot, best saved for when you're really in need of a meal. In my opinion, Ippudo in the US offers a much better experience.

Closing Time disappointment

We were looking for vegetarian dinner options in Lumine Est, at 840 pm at night & found Ippudo in HC. Excited & in anticipation of a great meal, my husband and I trekked out 20 mins by foot (after a long day of sightseeing) to the restaurant. The closing time stated on both Google & HC was 10 pm - we arrived at 9.33 pm, and were turned away at the door. Why state that your opening hours are until 10 pm, in multiple places, when you don't take orders after 9.30 pm. For travellers who are unfamiliar with the place, this is an extremely poor experience.

Pros: Promising vegetarian menu

Cons: Misleading opening hours

Good ramen!

They have three different kinds of ramen and gyoza. We tried the kontatsu ramen and it was really good. The soup is creamy and flavorful. The location is set inside a mall in shinjuku (lumine est) in the top floor!
