I would give the vegan ramen an Ok

The place is really interesting inside. I loved the decoration and the ‘busy’ atmosphere. They have x1 vegan dish on the menu. In my opinion, the broth wasn’t as tasteful as I would have hoped - thankfully, I was able to use spices (chilli and garlic paste) to bring the flavour to my taste. An ok option if you are around the area

They have 2 dishes. The same one but with extra “meat”.

I also had the vinegar cabbage as a stater.
I liked it and the dish was very taste.

Tasty vegan ramen!

Vegan ramen was really tasty. Will definitely return when I am next in Ginza. Cool Tokyo vibe to the restaurant and having the vegan options clearly marked on the menu makes life much easier.

Lifesaver - delicious vegan ramen when void of vegan selections

We were searching desperately for vegan food within Ginza area for dinner, but couldn't find any. Thankfully we found this small restaurant (part of a chain) from Happy Cow listing which had 2 vegan ramens using soy-based broth. We thoroughly enjoyed our ramen dinner, having the opportunity to experience authentic Japanese ramen in a ramen shop

Pros: Reasonably priced

Cons: The soup was a bit salty

Amazing experience!

The vegan ramen was delicious, as well as the side dishes (seaweed, bamboo, one bowl of rice).
We had to wait 10 minutes in line, but the staff made us order already while waiting for our table. As soon as we set down, they had our food ready... what an amazing service 🫶
Everything is super easy to understand thanks to the many signs written in English as well, which is uncommon for Tokyo.

Satisfying!!

Kyushu jangara is one of the top choices if you want to have vegan ramen. Only have 1-2 option but that’s gold…

Delicious!

Delicious bowl of ramen. A few optional side dishes to mix in. Decent price. Lots of flavour in broth and Smokey soy meat. Couldn’t fault.

Pros: Good sized bowl of ramen, Great flavour, Soy meat

Yummy vegan ramen

Excellent vegan ramen options at a shop that also serves meat. I really liked the flavor of the broth and the vegan char-siu was quite filling after a long flight. The vibe was really cozy!

Legit vegan ramen shop!

This little shop in Ginza has delicious vegan ramen! I always visit when in Tokyo on business. Small shop, but usually only a short wait for a table to open up.

Pros: Excellent vegan ramen, Inexpensive

Cons: Small shop

Kinda plain

I wasn’t impressed by the broth, but if you add the pickled veggies (there’s two small containers on each table) it gets quite ok

Pros: Vegan options, Cosy place, Nice staff

Cons: Not the best broth, Not homemade noodles, Crowded

Authentic vegan ramen in Ginza

Found this ramen place within a 5min walk from our hotel. After a long day of travel this hit the spot. Fast, filling and delicious. The vegan soy ramen came with a chewy bean curd that was sort of chicken-like, which is a nice change from plain tofu. You can add extra marked vegan toppings like wood ear mushrooms and marinated bamboo shoots. Plenty of condiments on the table like spicy pickled greens and pickled red ginger.

Pros: Clearly marked vegan options (in English), Tasty and filling, Good for non-vegans

Tastes good

(English follows Japanese)

九州じゃんがらは都内に何店舗かあって、それぞれのお店でメニューが違うのですが、この銀座店のヴィーガンラーメンは醤油ラーメンでした。定番のお味で、さっぱりしておいしかったです。さっぱりしたのなら西武池袋店のゆず塩ラーメンもいいですし、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。
ちなみに、こちらの銀座店では「T’sたんたん」のインスタントラーメンも購入できました。

In Tokyo, there are several branches of Kyushu Jangara Ramen, and each branch offers different vegan menu. In this Ginza shop, you can taste vegan shoyu ramen. It's a classic ramen that tastes good. If you like such refreshing taste, vegan Yuzu Shio ramen at the Seibu Ikebukuro shop is also good for you. If you prefer a richer ramen, try vegan Kumamoto Tonkotsu-style ramen with burnt garlic oil at the Akasaka shop.
In this Ginza shop, you can buy T’s Tantan's instant noodles too.

One of the best ramen I’ve had

Highly recommend. Only one vegan option but it was perfect in my opinion. Shoyu ramen, noodles were some of the best I’ve tried and great veggie toppings. Also it was a decent portion for the price. Loved it!!

Pros: Fantastic flavour, Decent price

Super delicious

This was so great that I ate there twice in a four-day stay. They had two vegan options (as they other reviewer said, for their 35-year anniversary), clearly advertised on the front door and in the menu.

The place is very hard to find, even when right in front of it; the name is only mentioned in a tiny sign to the upper left of the door.

Pros: Very delicious, Takes credit cards, Clearly labeled and aware

Cons: Hard to find

their best ramen yet and vegan instant ramen too

I stopped by twice for their new, temporary items: chili oil vegan ramen (to eat in-store) and vegan instant noodles (to take home and make later). They're being sold to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the restaurant, I believe.

It seems like the vegetables in the chili oil ramen are the same as what's in the shoyu ramen (IIRC), and the soy meat on top is the same. Only the soup base appears different.

It has more flavor than the shoyu ramen. I think this one is their best yet. It would be great if it had more of the soy meat. The vegan instant noodles were good too.

T's Ramen has better soups with more umami. But Kyushu Jangara is in a lot of places that T's isn't, so I'll keep going there. I'm glad to see their items are improving.

I've never heard the word "vegan" so much in a mainstream restaurant in Japan from the other customers, so it's great they're getting the word out there about veganism.

Pros: has vegan instant ramen for sale, this soup has the most umami yet, a good number of locations

Cons: soup still lacks a bit of umami

Decent vegan ramen - with a room for improvement

The portion is large, with variety of additional ingredients - the flavour of the broth could be improved.

Pros: Decent portion of vegan noodles., Quick service., Clearly marked vegan option.

Cons: Only one vegan option., The flavour is okay only.

Pros: Very tasty food.

Cons: Only one vegan option.

Great ramen in an easy location

Last page of menu is dedicated to the vegan options, with room for customisation of the ramen. The ramen itself was delicious and filling, definitely stop by here if in the Ginza area. Price not too bad as well.
