Really great vegan options!

As people have said before, a little pricey but totally justified. One of the nicest meals I’ve had so far, the vegan loco moco bowl complete with vegan “egg” was delicious. Amazing juices and coconut tumeric late was awesome. We almost missed it as google maps not great but it’s outside the My Lord shopping centre (above shinjuku station) next to Maple Diner and OMG cafe which seem more obvious - loads of plants outside.

Stylish place, tasty vegan options

I came in around 10am, so I was given the breakfast menu. I ordered the quinoa wrap, which I enjoyed very much. It had a nice mild sweetness to it. I would definitely come back.

Pros: Vegan options clearly marked on the menu.

Cons: I'd love to see more vegan options.

Tasty and healthy, but expensive

I’ve been to Mr Farmer several times. The food is always delicious and they have a nice water bar with different fruit and vegetable infused waters to self serve from. All of their dessert options are also vegan and they change on a seasonal basis.
Unfortunately no options for people dining on a budget.

Pros: Healthy, Dessert options, Open late

Cons: Expensive, Often long wait times

Yummy

The karaage was really good, and my husband really liked their vegan burger. I liked all of the indoor plants snd they had very fast service. It was crowded, which is s good sign.

Great vegan options, incl. dessert

A fresh and interesting selection of vegan meals (wrap, burger, salads, buddha bowl) with all three desserts being vegan. I had a purple pumpkin tart which was amazing.

Pros: Good amount of vegan options, All vegan desserts, Free flavoured water

Cons: Very busy, expect to wait a little

Excellent vegan meal

My partner and I ate here tonight on our third night in Tokyo. After spending 2 weeks in Japan eating not enough fresh vegetables, this meal was exactly what we needed. The vegan green salad was just as advertised and very fresh. It came with a tasty squash soup and piece of bread. The green vegetable curry was full of flavor but not heavy. It was a bit pricy - approx 4000¥ for two with no appetizers, drinks, or dessert, but the quality and atmosphere were excellent. I’d definitely go back.

Pros: Fresh high quality produce , Great flavors

Cons: A bit pricy

Food is fairly good, breakfast available

The food is pretty good, but found it to just be missing a little something to make it AMAZING. Tried it out both for dinner and breakfast, and I'm really glad that they're open for breakfast and have a pretty good soy latte.

It was near impossible to find for us, but it's in Mossaic Alley and on the main level, don't go up stairs to reach any other floors.

Salad is popular here and we had it with dinner and breakfast. It's good and fresh, but all green. It could take a little color and some other flavors. Veggie burger and brownie were good, with the brownie on the dry side.

Only one of the smoothies were vegan even though they were all made with soy. I found it a little gimmicky that they have lots of vegan books on the wall, but only a few vegan items on the menu. Still very happy they they clearly mark which items are vegan.

Good healthy vegan options

This is the second Mr Farmer that we’ve visited, and it didn’t disappoint. We had the green curry, the vegan wraps, the fried soy nuggets, and the seasonal vegan melon cheesecake. The curry and the cheesecake were fantastic! The rest was good, but nothing too special.

Super delicious but quite expensive

Had the Purple Grain Salad which was AMAZING! So delicious, the dressing was particularly good. Highly recommend the food, but it does come at quite a steep price.

A bit pricey

Their cuisine is surfing on the "organic and healthy" trend but doesn't deliver much, a bit bland for the price.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Beautiful environment

Cons: Expensive, Bland

Pretty good

English below👇 新宿のミロードにある『Mr. Farmer』に行ってきました。
店の外装は、花屋さんかと思う程に、緑が鮮やかです。

人気のある店で、10分程並びました。
女性客が多く、店内は広々としていました。

今回注文したのは『ヴィーガンロコモコ』です。
しかしながら、注文をして10分後に来たのはヴィーガンフライドチキンでした。オーダーの際、メニューの写真を指差しながら注文したのにも関わらず間違えられてしまい、更に10分程待つハメになりました。

満を持して来た料理は、とても綺麗な盛り付けでボリュームもあり、待った甲斐がありました。とても美味しかったです。

水はセルフサービスで、キュウリライムキウイ水、オレンジレモングレープフルーツ水、リンゴセロリニンジン水と、レモン水から好きなものを飲めます。

雰囲気の良いお店なのでデートにも最適だと思います。機会があれば行ってみて下さい。

We paid a visit to the Shinjuku location of Mr. Farmer for a weekday lunch. Though they were completely full, the wait wasn’t long, and we were soon shown to our table.

My immediate impression upon entering was that the space feels very American, which is a good thing. Bright and airy with upbeat (though a little loud) music.

Unfortunately the server messed up our order, so my dining companion had to wait about ten minutes for his food. My truffle cheeseburger arrived first, and as you can tell from the picture, it looked rather... sad. The salad was ice cold and not great, and the burger was soggy and a mess to eat, but it tasted good. Still, I wouldn’t pay the 2100 yen to eat it again 😬

Eventually Ryuji got his loco moco, and he was quite happy with it. We enjoyed our meal, but would we go all the way back to Shinjuku again to eat it? Probably not. But if you’re in the area, it’s definitely worth a try.

Pros: Decent food , Nice atmosphere , Free fruit water

Cons: Pricey

Plenty of options, not amazing though

We came here for dinner and each had a different kind of burger. There were stacks of vegan options on the menu, though neither of us thought too much of the burgers, which were quite tasteless (and pretty exxy given the size!) Perhaps if we’d chosen something else it would have been a different experience.
Still, it’s great to be able to have options on a menu in Japan, and the location is great (very central, and quite a pretty setting, just up the top of mosaic street before entering the station)

Pros: Quite a few vegan options, Friendly staff, Pretty atmosphere

Cons: Kind of bland

it was ok

We visited Mr. Farmer Shinjuku in october 2017.
The food was ok, not the best but definitely not the worst either.

The location is convenient, there is a lot of sitting, the atmosphere is nice.
I particulary enjoyed the self service flavored water jars.

Pros: location, nice vibe, self service flavored water

Not bad, not amazing

For its price point, this restaurant was just ok. I ordered a burger. It was fine, but you could barely taste the patty. Kind of like eating tasteless chewy soy, but the garnish was good. The coffee was ok as well. I wouldn’t come back or make a special trip for it, but I suppose it’s ok if you’re hungry and want something that’s guaranteed to be vegan.

Pros: Good for vegans , Many options

Cons: Overpriced , Bland

Not worth the price

We had breakfast and got the rainbow salad and the wrap and smoothies. The wrap was good and the salad was okay but lacked flavour, but we thought at least it was all healthy. This cost about 4500 yen. Also note they will only serve food on breakfast menu at breakfast so you won’t be able to order cakes etc.

For lunch we got a vegan cheese burger and the vegan chicken and desserts. The burger wasn’t very big for the price. We couldn’t taste any cheese at all and there was a wasabi sauce on the bread that was not nice. The mayo type sauce was nice. The patty was okay but over all definitely not work the 2000 yen we paid per burger. The vegan chicken fake meat was nice but not as good as the soy meat at t tan tans. We didn’t realise only half was soy meat and the other half mushroom. We got 3 different desserts which were all yummy. Our lunch cost about 9000 yen: the most expensive meal of our trip. We also had to wait about 20 minutes for a table.

Glad there are vegan options but we won’t be coming back again.

Great lunch. Disappointing breakfast.

Enjoyed lunch here the day we arrived in Tokyo. I had the ‘hamburger’ pattie on rice dish with condiments. It was really filling and tasty. Followed up with breakfast the next day. Ordered the rainbow wrap. The wrap was initially tasty however it became more and more soggy as I worked my way through it. Given it’s price, I would have hoped it was made fresh.

Pros: Great lunch menu.

Cons: Expensive. , Only 2 vegan breakfast options.

Delicious!

Food was absolutely scrumptious and came out quickly. I had the green curry and couldn’t stop putting food in my mouth, I cleaned the plate. My Omni friends both loved their meals as well. There were different infused waters free of charge and I also had the Aria Butterfly Soy Milk and that was also delightful 😍 I’d give it a five star if I could!

Pros: Lots of delicious vegan options

Cons: Priced at what you’d expect for this kind o place

Excellent food

The restaurant has multiple vegan options, with gluten free options on top of that.
The staff are very nice and it's a fairly relaxed atmosphere.
It can be difficult to find if you follow Google maps. When you're walking past Shinjuku station JR entrances, keep going until you see Happy Lemon and then go to the alley to the side of that.
If you get there and there's a queue be sure to write your name down in the folder, this is how they determine order.

Pros: Lots of vegan and gluten free options

Cons: Can get busy around the typical hours
