At 神田錦町3-19-21 橋ビル1F Chiyoda-ku. Offers pasta and other a la carte items. A soup and salad set can be added to each entree. Basically the menu has taken on a more European restaurant feel rather than a deli. Open hours varies sometimes, last order 3pm. Reported closed, May 2017.

great little spot

Good walk from the palace gardens to find this little gem . Very friendly and helpful with English menu . Food was unique and very filling. Very affordable. Would definitely not pass this by if you are in the area

So-so but who's to complain?

In a city where most people have never heard of vegans one must be thankful for any restaurant that serves our minority. That said, the food at Kushi Garden isn't really all that awesome. It's decent but pretty standard fare, the likes of which is also served at several other places around town, such as T's, Pure Cafe etc. Basically small portions combining some fake meat, some veggies and some rice. Competently done but predictable and gets old real fast. Certainly doesn't warrant more than a couple of visits per year. Gets crowded at lunch time.


Updated from previous review on Thursday December 17, 2015 (changed it to two stars given how much better the competition has become in the past year.)

Pros: Only one of two options in the area, OK food

Cons: Food only , Crowded and cramped at lunch

A haven for travelling vegans

I spent a month in Japan last August, and for the time I was in Tokyo I visited Kushi Gardens almost every day. The staff was so helpful, I speak very limited Japanese but somehow still managed to make friends. If Yui is still working there, she is wonderful. The food was great, so was the atmosphere. I remember my first night in Tokyo sitting there with a plate of food and a Sun Sun, reading a book. Also, so close to the Imperial Gardens - go for a walk and then visit the restaurant, makes for a lovely afternoon. Cannot recommend this place highly enough.

Pros: good service, good food, play awesome music

Cons: Hard to find

Vegan buffet

We were lucky and were in Tokyo in time for the once a month buffet here. You definitely need reservations, there are 2 seatings and ours was packed. We made reservations 2 days prior.

Everyone gets there at the start time and you get an assigned seat. Then the host tells you where everything is (in Japanese, but it is not hard to figure out what he is saying). There were 2 kinds of soup, 2 curries, and about 15 different main dishes. There was also a dessert table. The 15 dishes included all kind of vegetables, pasta with fake meat, soba noodles, tofu omelet, pizza, and it was all tasty. There is a lot of food available and they keep replenishing it. It costs 3500 yen per person and includes basic drinks like tea.

The food is very good. There is a lot of variety in the flavors used.

It is pretty easy to find and the staff speaks limited english.

Pros: Buffet available once a month, Delicious, Convenient location

favorite macrobiotic vegan place in Tokyo

Kushi Garden is absolutely wonderful. They serve a variety of dishes including Japanese, European, Korean, and Chinese. During lunch time, you can build your own deli plate by selecting 3 (or more) deli items to accompany your brown rice, miso soup, and salad. At dinner, the menu is larger and they also have dinner sets too. I love the tempe rice bowl and curry udon. On the 4th Saturday of every month, they hold an all-you-can-eat vegan buffet for 3500 which includes about 15 vegan entrees, curry, soups, rice, soft drinks, and numerous vegan desserts. Well worth it! [Reservations are required for the buffet event.]

Pros: top quality dishes, large variety, monthly buffet

Good food and easy to find

This place is easy to find. As soon as you exit the Imperial palace east gardens from the Hirakawa-Mon Gate, you will see a huge building in front of you called Mainichi. The top of the door says Palace bldg. Go through the door and up through the stairs and the place is the first one on the left. The staff speak some english. They had 3 set menus and they cost 1000 yen. The food was very good. I had the curry, soup and rice set menu and it was very filling.
