Uno dei pochi ramen veg in Giappone

Ramen discreto, locale molto piccolo e caratteristico. Ottimo prezzo. Globalmente vale la pena provarlo.

Salty

Two vegan ramen options. I opted for the salty ramen with char siu. Very flavorful and filling. Good place to go with carnivore friends.

Excellent ramen, fresh and good portion

The broth was nothing like I tasted before, and was excellent paired with the yuzu. Would love to see more options from this restaurant with other broths. Very filling portions and excellent price

Pros: Taste, Price, Ambiance

7/10 ramen, unfriendly service

This place was very hard to find - maybe because we weren’t thinking straight because of the hunger. The ramen was very satisfying but the staff very rushed/unfriendly. As someone who has eaten a lot of char siu in my past life as a non-vegan; it doesn’t come close. But we really did like both ramen options with extra fried garlic otherwise.

Pros: Big portions, Good flavours, Super quick service

Cons: Hard to find, Unfriendly staff, Soy meat not great

Delicious!

We went here on our first night in Tokyo and were very impressed. I got the garlic vegan ramen and my boyfriend got the other option. Both were really great.

Vegan Yuzu Salt Ramen

Vegan yuzu salt ramen 🍜 with soy charsiu. They were very nice, have an English menu, and called out “vegan!” as they walked towards the kitchen. Always reassuring. I usually prefer spicy/creamy ramen like TanTanmen, but this was light and citrusy and a perfect lunch. 8th floor in middle section of Seibu next to Ikebukuro station. My husband loved his spicy 🌶️ non-vegan “normal” ramen as well.

Tasty yuzu shio ramen

(English follows Japanese)

九州じゃんがらは都内に何店舗かあって、それぞれのお店が提供しているヴィーガンメニューは違うのですが、この西武池袋店のヴィーガンラーメンはゆず塩ラーメンでした(過去には別のメニューを提供していたようですが、今はこの1品のみです)。さっぱりして風味豊かでおいしかったです。もしこってりしたラーメンがお好みなら、例えば赤坂店の熊本マー油(焦がしにんにく油)ラーメンなんかもおすすめです。定番の味なら秋葉原本店や銀座店の醤油ラーメンでしょうか。

(2022年4月追記)現在、ゆず塩ラーメンに加えて、醤油ラーメンも提供されています。

In Tokyo, there are several branches of Kyushu Jangara Ramen, and each branch offers different vegan menu. In this Seibu Ikebukuro shop, you can taste vegan yuzu shio ramen (In the past, they have offered other vegan menu, but now they have just this one). It's refreshing, flavorful, and delicious. If you prefer a richer ramen, you can try vegan Kumamoto Tonkotsu-style ramen with burnt garlic oil at the Akasaka shop. For a classic taste, I recommend the soy sauce ramen at the Akihabara and the Ginza shops.

(P.S., April 2022) Now, Shoyu Ramen is also served.

One of the best vegan ramen in Tokyo

Very tasty, at a good price and the ramen come out of the kitchen insanely fast, even when the shop is full.

Not for me

There was two options available. One with garlic and one salt and I took the salt one and it really was not for me. The soup tasted like can sausage water in my opinion and I felt sick afterwards

Loved the vege ramen!!

There was only one option (two if you count the “extra vegetables” option as another) for vegetarians/vegans but it was SO good I’m not even mad 😩✊🏻 Staff was pleasant and no one bothered me while I ate. It was a bit crowded but slowed down before I finished so it was overall a nice dinner experience😄I definitely recommend it and I would go again!

Pros: Really good vege option, Pleasant staff, Nice atmosphere

Cons: Limited options, Sometimes crowded

The best vegan ramen

My partner and I really enjoyed this ramen place and went back twice. It's a small place and people are usually queuing to get in. But it's totally worth it. We'll definitely go back.

Pros: Very tasty ramen, Lots of vegan toppings, Reasonably priced

Very delicious ramen

The ramen were very delicious and the servings were very big. They had a lot of vegan toppings and a English menu. The service was very nice and they speak english. It's on the 8th floor and easy to find.

Very tasty ramen

The restaurant is on the eighth floor of the Seibu department store building at the Ikebukuro station. The restaurant name is written in Japanese so it may be a bit difficult to find. Outside the restaurant are displays of different ramen. One of them is labeled vegan in English, all others are in Japanese. So, look for the picture of ramen with vegan written on it to locate the restaurant.

The menu has two options for vegan ramen, one a basic version and the other with additional toppings. I had the one with additional toppings and it was really good. I will definitely go there again.

Pros: Very tasty vegan ramen.

Cons: Very limited vegan options.

Surprisingly good

Good place to come with non-vegans if you want to enjoy ramen as well. First place I went to in Japan to get ramen, and was quite delicious.

Pros: quick service

Cons: slightly expensive for ramen

Yuzu Ramen

Although there is only one vegan option the yuzu flavoured ramen was a great surprise, and it comes with fried tofu strips.

Great vegan ramen.

I had a yuzu flavor vegan ramen.
It was delicious and served quickly.
Vegan option is only one(they have two size).
The shop is chain ramen shop so you can find another places in Japan.

Good vegan ramen

It's a chain ramen place. I like ramen. Mebu says it's yuzu flavour. The vegan ramen is clearly labelled with a picture. English menu available. Option to get extra noodles. Very convenient near Ikebukuro station on the 8th floor of the seibu shopping centre. I usually get fast service. Free WiFi.

Pros: Clear vegan option, tasty ramen, fast service.

Meh

Unremarkable vegan ramen. The ones with meat might be Better, but there is no flavor. There is also a heavy language barrier and they included something I didn't order.
