Good izakaya experience

Tje food is good - especially if you like it greasy.
Not much seating at the place. You need a phone and wifi to order.

Amazing food

The karage dishes are amazing, the textura is unbelievable. The staff is super friendly and is great that you can order through a QR code, makes everything smoothly. The mushrooms deep-fried are a must. Overall amazing place is worth the waiting. Really small place.

A must if visiting Tokyo.

We went here for dinner on Saturday night but got there too late! There was a huge line and last orders are at 9pm.
We came back Sunday for lunch and were not disappointed. The "chicken" karaage was next level some of the best vegan chicken I've ever eaten. Likewise the gyoza. Served with pickles and soup and perfect with Japanese beer or a grapefruit sour.

Juicy delicious Karage

The best vegan karaage i‘ve ever had! Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Also the texture was very meaty. If it wasn’t an all vegan menu and vegan print on the plates i would have been suspicious! Yuzu pepper sauce was creamy and light.
I also ordered the cucumber dish as an appetizer which was very aromatic and fresh. Would come again 💞

I had to wait quite a bit but it was worth it.
When super busy they might not let anymore costumers in before the estimated time of closure.

In the mall basement B1. It’s a bit hidden in a corner on your way to the escalator.

Post-Lunch

Went there after 15h, so couldn’t get the lunch-menu (not sure if it would have made a difference). The food was good but also nothing special, so for the price (still cheaper for European standards) I was a little disappointed. Staff is super friendly, and if you’re looking for a place that makes it easy as a foreigner, this is it!

Traditional Japanese food in Shibuya

My mother and I shared fried mushrooms, gyozas and tempura. The side dishes were good, however I believe that the portions were a bit on the smaller side (especially if you are hungry after a long walk around Shibuya😉). I believe they serve bigger meals during lunch hours and not only side dishes.

Lunchtime Pick Me Up

This restaurant is in the basement level of Shibuya Parco, which is great because after battling the crowds in some of the stores, you need to recharge. This izakaya is a perfect spot to do; I was there during lunch so the options were limited, but the karage and gyoza I had were delicious. The karage in particular was so tender and eerily close to the texture of actual chicken. I hope to return to try the dinner options sometime!

Pros: Location, Lots of options

Cons: Small interior, Lunch menu is limited

Some of the most tender vegan meat

Legitimately some of the most tender and moist vegan meat I’ve ever had. The flavours are delicious for the karage. We got the yuzu & pepper flavour which was delicious. We also got dumplings, also yummy, and mapo eggplant & tofu which had some an amazing flavour. Big recommend as it is yummy and super cheap!

Pros: Karage, Mapo Tofu

Cons: Not many mains

All Vegan Izakaya

My friend recommended me Masala in Shibuya. Good experience, I ordered Karaage with Spicy Sichuan mala sauce, a little bit so spice for me, that I will try lemon one or Yuzu pepper mayo next time. And I'll come here lunch time and order lunch set, which includes Dumplings and Karaage.

Pros: Karaage, Atmosphere , Staff

Very filling and yummy

I had a very filling lunch, and ordered the lunch mixed set meal. My favorite was the karaage, it was really good.
The location is good, easy to find. However, the place itself is small and it gets full as soon as they open. I'm travelling solo, thus, fortunately for me, I didn't have to wait long. #Veganuary

Delicious Fried Foods!

We had dinner here on January 20, 2024.

I enjoyed the delicious deep fried maitake mushrooms and karaage with Szechuan seasoning. I thought the mapo tofu was just okay. It comes with such an abundance of a salty sauce. It needed a side of rice or something to go with it.

The atmosphere and service are very casual and this is a very busy place. The evening we were there they enforced a 90-minute dining limit. You order off an online menu and your food is brought to you.

Pros: Delicious fried foods

Yummy food with a cosy environment

Went here for lunch so there were lunch sets available and a few sides. We had the gyoza set and it was great value. Definitely worth a visit. It gets really busy at night so go early or at lunch.

[1-star] #2 worst vegan restaurant in my life

Happycow is biased and won't let me give this restaurant the 1-star it deserves.

The macaroni salad tasted like macaroni and olive oil, gross.
The Chinese tofu was just tofu with sour sauce.
The deep-fried mushrooms had no mushroom taste and just tasted like I was eating fried salt.
The bamboo didn't taste like bamboo, the sauce doesn't fit it.
The potato fries were just simple and spicy but nothing good.
If I close my eyes and eat the gyoza, I can't tell if it's gyoza, I actually can't tell what it is, that's how much it sucks.

This restaurant was disgusting, save your time and go to Falafel Brother's on the 7th floor of Parco for vegan food, it's more delicious.

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Bad food
