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.

Authentic & very tasty

Tiny, authentic Ramen restaurant. There was only one vegan dish but they understood the requirements and it was absolutely delicious. Authentic local atmosphere. Would definitely recommend.

A good, quick bowl of ramen

Although there is only one vegan dish at this restaurant, it is fantastic. This restaurant is good for those in need of a quite bite or just looking for a good bowl of vegan ramen.

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.

Best vegan ramen out there

Best vegan ramen I have ever had. Would have given a five star review but that option is unavailable for non vegan restaurants. Don’t let it deter you though.

Cool little place

Small and old fashioned, really nice rustic atmosphere and really made me feel like I was in Japan. The vegan ramen (the only vegan dish) was tasty and the broth was very flavourful. Didn't blow my socks off or anything but was nice to eat in a place that wasn't tourist-y.

Pros: Cheap for what it is, Authentic, Staff spoke good enough English

Cons: Beer was a bit pricy, Only one dish to choose from

One vegan ramen

Small ramen place. The ramen was ok, but not anything special.
They have translations for almost everything as well.

Good ramen, authentic atmosphere

Went there for lunch during the week. It was pretty busy, but people usually eat their ramen very quickly.
The vegan ramen (there's only one option) was quite good, with a mild yuzu taste.

ramen place

I would not recommend to come here on purpose.
the place is small and not very clean. tables are very small and crowded. the kitchen smokes inside the restuarant and you can actually smell ( and see) all that they cook .
the ramen was ok. but I ate many much better than this one.

Pros: cheap. the ramen costs 1000 yen

Cons: no place to wash your hands, can't charge the mob

So much goodness here.

The vegan ramen is delicious and the staff friendly. Don’t resist drinking the last of the soup directly from the bowl.

Pros: One great vegan option, Friendly staff, Cost and quirky

Delicious vegan ramen

Loved this ramen, very tasty! Authentic experience in a cosy restaurant with Japanese people. We waited in line for about 20mins, but was worth the wait.
They only had 2 serves of ramen left, which was unfortunate for one of our non-vegan friends who wanted a vegan serve, but my bf and I got the last 2! Cash only. ¥1000 each

Pros: Tasty ramen, Authentic experience

Cons: limited serves for the day , Had to wait in line for a bit

Vegan ramen was amazing!

Though this place mainly has entrees with meat and other animal products, they offer one vegan ramen that is INCREDIBLE. If you’re looking for authentic ramen that is not only delicious but also vegan, do not miss out on this place. So yummy :-)

Pros: Fast , delicious

Cons: sometimes a wait

Great spot

Great little spot. Vegan option clearly marked on the menu in English. Ramen is oily but in the great sort of way.
