Oishi(tasty) vegan ramen

Two vegan options available - hot and cold tantan ramen. We got the hot one. It was very filling and flavorful.
Waiting time can be high but worth the hype and wait. The staff was super helpful. Easy ordering as well.

Amazing, 5 star

Amazing place, vegan option was delicious. We came back a 2nd time, it was that good. App won't let me do 5 star since it's not fully vegan/vegetarian but I say 5 star and anyone that says this isn't 5 star, has no tastebuds.

Pros: Fresh noodles, Delicious broth

Broth needs improvement !!

The broth was not good compared to what I have experienced so far trying different vegan Ramen places.. but the noodles was handmade and tasted amazing

Cons: Improve the broth

AMAZING!! [5☆]

Big on flavour. Thick broth. Delicious handmade noodles with great texture, bite and shape! Fake meat was amazing. Even my fave, some green veg on there. I cannot find a fault, other than the (worth it) long wait.

Delicious

This is such a nice place with friendly staff and a tasty vegan ramen option.

There is only one choice but it’s a good one!

¥1500 for the bowl. You order through a machine which has the vegan option clearly labelled.

Amazing noodles, great experience.

The ramen was super tasty! The noodles were freshly made right in front of us, it was great watching them making them from scratch as we waited for our food, and it was so worth the wait! The best noodles I've had in my 2 weeks in Japan. Highly recommend!

Great ramen!

The noodles are amazing, the soup is a little spicy though. No way to miss the vegan option at the machine as it’s marked with a big red arrow 🤣

Great food, better experience

We waited for 20mins to be seated and a further 15mins for food but the wait was actually enjoyable. You can watch the chefs prepare all the food right in front of you and they are masters at making ramen. There was a single vegan option but it was delicious. I would go again but not if the queue was as long as when we left.

Cash only.

Delicious and fresh!

Perfectly cooked ramen/udon. The vegan dish was super tasty and rich in flavor. Have a look above the ticket machine, everything is explained in English.

Great food, even better atmoaphere!

It's amazing, I'd give it 5 if it was fully began. The atmosphere of having fresh ramen prepared before you, being able to sit at the counter. It is a valuable truly japanese experience that are rare for vegans in tpkyo or japan in generally

Pros: Fresh noodles, Atmosphere, Counter seats

Cons: Not fully vegan, Does smell of non-vegan options, No gluten-free noodles (obviously)

Insanely tasty vegan ramen!

TL;DR: One of the best meals I ever tried! Go there if you can!

When you get there you have to choose and pay your meal at a machine. The vegan ramen are clearly marked.

After paying you give the ticket you got from the machine to the employee. He will ask if you want a small, medium or large amount of noodles. Even the small is not so small, I tried the medium and it was fine for me. But I would have probably eaten even the large because the ramen were so delicious.

Depending on the amount of people you have to wait a little while until one of the few seats is free. Once seated you can watch the chefs prepare the ramen.

You should leave shortly after you finish your food. It's not a place where you stay for long, as you should make room for the next guests. Don't forget to shout a "thank you" to the chefs on your way out, they do the same!

Pros: Delicious, Authentic, Freshly prepared

The best vegan ramen

A clean ramen shop in the business district serving absolutely amazing vegan ramen as authentic as you’d experience in Japanese general ramen shop. Would happily queue when visiting here again.

I tried both cold and hot noodles, I personally like hot noodles!

Amazing ramen!

They have only one Vegan dish you need to order at the machine at the entrance. Not expensive and very delicious. Noodles are home made right in front of you. Best ramen I had so far in Tokyo.

Sehr leckere vegane Ramen

Die Nudeln werden frisch vor den Augen der Gästen zubereitet. Am Automaten ist die vegane Option extra markiert. Alle sind sehr freundlich. Die Ramensuppe war sehr lecker. Könnte für manche aber ggf zu sehr gewürzt sein. Uns hat es geschmeckt.

Pros: Geschmack, Freundlichkeit, Hausgemacht

Kickass vegan ramen

They serve one vegan option, just choose 23 on the ticket machine. The broth is hearty with a good level of spiciness. Topped with soy meat and veggies.

While you wait you can watch them making the noodles fresh to order. The noodles are thick, uneven and probably the best we had in Tokyo.

Definitely the right ramen after a long day exploring Tokyo. The staff is super welcoming and the place is usually full with locals. I guess that's a good sign

Pros: Noodles made fresh to order, Reasonable price

Delicious ramen made in front of you

If you like a really toothsome noodle, and just a really great depth of flavor, this is the place for you. The noodles are thicker and more rustic than your typical ramen, but personally I loved that, and it's so much fun to watch them made in front of you. The broth and toppings were just really perfect, with an assertive spice level and bold flavor - I think there might've been shiso on there to give it a nice flavor contrast as well.

We stayed at a hotel nearby and were looking for something quick we could sneak out for when our kids didn't want to go out with us, so we chose this place by proximity and how casual it was, but the food was so good we were glad we stumbled across it. The ordering is a bit confusing but the friendly waiter saw us puzzling over the machine and quickly came out to help.

Pros: delicious ramen, made right in front of you - dinner AND a show!, we walked right in with no wait/reservation

Cons: it's a small shop, perhaps fewer than 10 seats, I think there's just one vegan choice

Good Soup

There’s one vegan Ramen which is very good. When I ate there there where just locals, which is a good sign I guess.

Cold Ramen during Summer

Noodles are really good and they make it in front of you. Really fresh. During summer they serve cold Ramen which is not that good tbh as the hot one (served during winter). You can purchase noodles as well.

Pros: 3 serving size at same price

Cons: Pricey

WOW! What a beautiful and extremely rich ramen with delicious homemade noodles. To top it off, the staff are extra friendly--arigatou gozaimasu to them!

Only thing that was weird to me is the button for the vegan ramen said choice of soy meat or deer meat, not sure if it was a "lost in translation thing" but that made me a little nervous about making sure I got the right dish. After ordering, I pointed to the vegan meat option and said vegan when the nice lady took my ticket and she repeated vegan very joyfully. My meal came out as ordered with TVP.

Overall, this is a VERY delicious option. I LOVE that they have homemade vegan noodles. However, you REALLY need to be in the mood for a rich ramen, so don't eat rich ramen for lunch then come here for rich ramen for dinner...but if you can handle it, go for it! :)
