Great buffet - Edit
Buffet vegan avec plein de bonnes choses. Un petit peu cher mais honnêtement cela ne sert à rien de prendre l'option buffet à volonté. Prenez une assiette unique de taille S ou M (1620Y) maxi et vous n'aurez plus faim! Je n'ai même pas pu finir mon assiette alors que j'ai bon appétit!

Keep them dishes coming! - Edit
We were welcomed warmly in English and all ordered the buffet. Had to order drinks separately. The sitting seating was pretty cute but we chose to sit by the counter. Had a bit of a coffee-morning feel to it. Good selection of food and buffet items were replenished and replaced with new ones really quickly. The soy meat was really good.
Read moreNote: Although the food was good, it was a lot more rustic than some of the photos on here would suggest!
Pros: Welcoming and helpful staff, Wide selection and new dishes appear quickly, Interesting interior
Cons: Map directions a little hard to follow, No drinks included in buffet, One of the more expensive buffet options

Very small “buffet” - Edit
None of the dishes in the photos uploaded on Happy Cow were available to order. Instead they only offer a small buffet (y1600 for 90 minutes) where the food was rather bland. Great to see an all vegan restaurant in Asakusa though!

Japanese vegan cuisine is worth every cent - Edit
I’ve been here twice already and it’s safe to say that I would come back again!
Read moreThis place is a little tricky to find but that’s the only criticism I have - if you would call it that. A very relaxing and calm environment upon arriving and a friendly host to guide you through their buffet system. I must add, for an organic vegan buffet the price is very reasonable.
Buffet is easy to navigate and the range of food is balanced and most importantly - delicious! I left with a smile on my face and a happy stomach.
A must try if you are nearby, I travelled 15 minutes on foot to get here knowing it would make the trip worthwhile.
Pros: Relaxing atmosphere , friendly staff, yummy food
Cons: Can be tricky to find

Not as great as the other reviewers say... - Edit
First off, Vegan in Japan was very difficult, so I appreciate any restaurant that is vegan or makes the effort. The environment is pleasant - but church basement like, the food is served in rice cookers and other basic / home use instruments. There are a variety of options (like 8 things) and they are generally tasty but also they are all very similar. I wouldn't rush back or recommend to my friends.
Read moreOn the plus side there is free wifi, English is decent enough to understand and everyone is very friendly.
Pros: wifi, English is decent, Very Pleasant
Cons: Not much variety, Environment isn't appealing, Pricey for what you get

Great - Edit
I’m not a fan of all you can eat, but this place could have changed my view on that. Almost everything I ate was delicious. And they clearly state in English what the dishes are and if they are gluten free. The staff also speaks perfect English.

Delicious vegan buffet - my dream come true - Edit
My lunch here was one of the best moments in my Tokyo trip in May 2018. The food was so delicious, fresh, and unique. It was a delight to eat all organic. The restaurant was brightly lit, comfortable and serene. The staff were friendly and polite. I highly enjoyed my time here. I especially liked the vegan egg and the healthy soups. Wish I could have this everyday.

Worth every penny - Edit
English below👇 浅草にある『かえもん』というお店に行ってきました。
Read more5階建ビルの3階にある店内はとても広々としていて開放的でゆったりとしています。
ブッフェスタイルで、入り口のレジで先に会計を済ませてから席に着きます。
私達の前に席に着いたのはイスラム教の団体でした。
このお店には宗教によって礼拝が必要な人達のためのスペースも確保されています。行き届いた配慮にとても驚かされました。
もっと驚かされたのは料理の美味しさです。
サラダ、煮物、揚げ物、炒め物、パスタ、白米から酵素玄米まで全てオーガニックで、調味料なども厳選したこだわりぶりでした。
また、料金は別ですが、ドリンクバーも用意されています。オーガニックのコーヒー、甘味料を一切使っていない自然の甘みのある天茶などで料理の合間、口の中をリセットできます。
私は、ロケーションの都合でそう頻繁に行くことが出来ないので、少し無理をして食べ過ぎてしまいましたが、胸焼けやむかつきなどの不快感は無く、苦しいほどの満腹感も1時間程度で解消されました。
スタッフが英語を話せるので、外国人の方も安心して利用できると思います。もちろん日本人の方も楽しい時間を過ごせると思います。
浅草観光に来た際は是非行ってみてください！

All. Vegan. Buffet. If these three words appeal to you, run, don’t walk, to Asakusa, and head to the buffet restaurant Kaemon. Everything is organic, vegan, and delicious!!
This is actually Buddhist vegan cuisine, meaning the restaurant doesn’t use any “pungent root” vegetables like onions or garlic. As a huge garlic fan, I was a little apprehensive, but every dish was flavorful and delicious. I especially liked the ginger soy meat and the sesame cream pasta 🤤
The restaurant is clean and spacious, and the staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. When we were there, there were customers from places as far afield as Israel and Taiwan. This was our first time at Kaemon, but it certainly won’t be our last.
Pros: Lots of delicious food..., .... and in unlimited quantities!!, Friendly service in Japanese and English

Fresh healthy buffet food! - Edit
This place wasn't what I expected when I saw the word 'buffet'. It's very informal and a quiet atmosphere, which is kind of lovely in busy Tokyo.
Read moreThe food is indeed fresh, set out in small portions and doesn't sit out for very long, and there was a good amount of choice. I was particularly happy that they had lots of fresh veggies.
My only complaint was that there was no dessert when we went. :)
The gentleman who seated us seemed very proud of the food and it really was lovely - I'd have gone back if I could.
Pros: Good value for Tokyo (all you can eat)., Fresh veggies., Tasty food.
Cons: Very quiet atmosphere., Not a massive variety of dishes to choose from.

Fresh and wholesome, didn't want to stop eating - Edit
Wow this place was like a breath of fresh air for us! We had the lunch buffet, we thought there was a lot to choose from, starting with salad items with absolutely delicious fresh zingy dressings to choose from, then there were the hot meals - a selection of tofu, soy meat, and vegetable dishes. There were soups and a kind of root vegetable stew, and rice of course. I kept going back for more until I felt too embarrassed to go back for more again! The setting is nice and tranquil with plenty of room. Almost Scandinavian looking with white walls and light coloured timber furnitures. We loved it and if we'd only been staying in Tokyo longer would have definitely gone back again! Short walk from Senso-ji Temple.

Lovely staff and great food - Edit
The moment you step out of the elevator you are greeted by the most lovely and attentive staff! But don’t go in expecting a huge buffet, it’s more of a small selection of dishes. However, there is enough food to fill you up and you can tell the dishes are lovingly homemade.

Wonderful Japanese Vegan Buffet - Edit
This was such a treat during my stay in Tokyo as it was very difficult to find vegan food. It is very clear for English speakers. The food was great - wonderful Japanese-style vegan food. The price is pretty standard for a buffet. If you’re in Asakusa, perhaps visiting Senso ji, don’t miss it!

cold food bad service - Edit
I came in, very hungry, and paid for the buffet dinner. At ¥2100 I expected a decent variety of food. I was super dissapointed. The salad bar was lacking, the “hot” food was cold, and the tofu options were bland (as well as cold). They charge an extra ¥500 for a drink otherwise you’re stuck with a small paper cup for water. The servers spoke great English; however they avoided speaking with me after I left the counter. I seriously don’t know how this place has such good reviews. You can find much better vegan food for much less in Tokyo. I want to rate this location as a 1 but happycow won’t allow it.

Underwhelming experience - Edit
This place did not impress me. The staff was nice and welcoming but the buffet was dissapointing in taste and presentation. Also, the place felt like an office cafeteria. Not a very nice atmosphere. I appreciate the intentions and maybe we caught the chef on a bad day but I feel Tokyo has a lot more to offer than this.

Vegan buffet with lots of tofu - Edit
When I arrived here I was a bit surprised that it offered buffet or just spaghetti for a la carte. I took the lunch buffet for 1600¥ and was surprised again. All the main dishes contained tofu and were cooked with way too much oil. But, if you're a tofu fan like me you can look aside that fact and makes sure not to take too much on your plate. The two soups were fine, if you have the choice take the miso one. In addition, there was a great variety of raw vegetables I didn't know before, salad as well as white and brown rice. I'm not sure why everyone is praising the brown rice or I just had bad luck, but mine was sticky and didn't have a special taste even with the black sesame and salt. But, tastes are different I guess. :)
Read moreOverall, it was a nice experience but I hope that it's getting a bit healthier and special in the future. Therefore, 4 stars!
Pros: Great variety of tofu dishes
Cons: not healthy!
