Beautiful cafe

As others mentioned, the food is good but on the expensive side for the portion size. The cafe is lovely inside with books to read and self-serve flavored waters. We arrived at opening time to avoid waiting for a table.

Pros: Nice atmosphere , Gorgeous bright space

Cons: Expensive, Small portions

Beautiful Location with vegan and gluten free options

Beautiful, sun-filled location with lots of plants and delicious, fresh food. I had a veggie burger, which was not gluten free, and my wife had a the green curry, which was GF. They also have a build-your-own salad option and several juices. Servers didn't speak much english, but the menu had allergens clearly marked. The restaurant can be a bit tough to find - it's in an outdoor mall just above Shinjuku Station.

Fresh salad

I went there for eating small meal, then I had custom salad.
There are many options for topping and source.
You can pick up 4topping and 1source making your own salad. It's really fresh and delicious vegetable but a bit expensive for only salad.
If you pay more(around 300yen), you also can get bread and soup.
Around lunch time it's really crowded so you should go there earlier. And weekend, they have time limit each table for 2 hours next customers.

Good burger

Enjoyed my vegan cheese burger. Had almost a veg curry patty. It tasted healthy and I enjoyed it. The veg on the side were very cold so I didn’t really want them but overall good lunch next to Shinjuku Station. It was very expensive though, 2200 for just the burger nothing else.

Pros: A few vegan options, Nice atmosphere , Free fruit infused water

Cons: Expensive

Great place to go with non-vegan friends.

Look, finding a place that has vegan food and non vegan food in Tokyo is tough. This place has both and is great when you want to go out with a friend who’s not vegan nor cares to satisfy your need for vegan food.

The burger is great here but pretty pricy and super small. Salads are good too. If you’re looking to get full, maybe the curry is the best option. Whatever you do, don’t get the wrap. No flavor and needs salt or some sauce.

Pros: Vegan options, Good taste

Cons: Expensive, Small portions

Good food, nice atmosphere

The place itself is very nice, cozy and convenient to get to, just a few minutes walk from Shinjuku JR, Keio and Metro stations. There are plenty of vegan options, with Japanese, American, Mexican, etc. inspirations. Tried the wraps, which were a bit pricey but quite good.

Pros: Convenient, Good, Many vegan options

Cons: A bit pricey

Amazing

I loved the look of this place. They had self served fruit/veggie infused water. The coffee was great and the vegan options were plentiful for a place that also serves meat. I found in Japan big colorful salads are few and far between. Look no further than Mr. Farmer! I'll be back for sure.

Healthy, fresh, and delicious!

Stopped here while putzing around the shops. The menu here is definitely more health-focused than other places, but the food was still delicious.

I got the veggie wrap which was HUGE and stuffed with really, really fresh veg and a tasty dressing. The side of baked potato it came with was small and dry.

Husband got the burger and said it was great.

For dessert we got the fig tart, which is supposed to be topped with sliced fresh fig. They were out of figs so the waiter apologized and said it could come with grapes instead. We figured that sounded alright but OH MY it was SO GOOD. The biggest, juiciest grapes I've ever eaten, perfectly displayed on this delicious tart. One of the best desserts we ate in Japan, hands down.

Pros: Plenty of vegan options, Beautiful interior, Convenient location

Good, health-conscious kitchen

Had a nice experience here. We were 5 and they put two tables together for us after a short waiting time during lunch hours.
They had a waiter that could translate to English very well.

They do have a few different vegan options, we tried the curry (very spicy, indian style), the burger and the autumn salad. All were very tasty and at the same time not swimming in oil or fat like at usual western restaurants, so more on the light side. I had the salad plate and it was very good with many diverse tastes, can recommend!

The place is bright and features a lot of plants and flowers. Also they have many differently flavoured water supplies for self-service - try them!

The place is unfortunately quite loud and noisy compared to other restaurants. Also the meals are very expensive while the portion size is on the small side. Not recommended for a quick, filling lunch, but rather for a relaxed, exquisite restaurant experience

Pros: Good vegan options, health-conscious, Desserts are good, nice decorations, Many differently flavoured water supplies

Cons: Expensive, rather small portions, Difficult to find, Rather loud and noisy

Perfect for lunch date

The vegan (green?) curry and rice plate was really delicious. Comfortable place to sit with friends for lunch. Conveniently located at Shinjuku Station.

nice vegan choices

its fresh, many vegetables. nice vegan options. the food is ok but not great . I think it's ok if you want to be sure you get something vegan.
we waited 10 min in the unbearable sun (37 degrees) they would not let us wait inside...
the v roll was cold and disappointing. the green salad was great.
the desert and coffee were very good!

Pros: nice food. clean

Cons: expansive

Great food, maybe a bit expensive

Great experience, the restaurant looks so nice from the inside with lots of plants, great food. And water with different flavours, such as cucumber, grapefruit and lemon, which was nice and fresh.

Pros: Great vegan options, Good atmosphere , Flavored water 😅

Cons: To the expensive side , Kind of noisy inside?

Nice

I came for breakfast and the menu is clearly labelled. However it took ages for my food to come out, and the portion sizes were quite small for the price. The food tasted nice and the smoothie was really good but not sure if it is worth how much it costs. Overall not a bad experience, just not the best I’ve had in Tokyo

Pros: Clearly labelled vegan food , Food tastes good , Accepts credit card

Cons: Expensive , Slow service , Small portion size

last stop before home!

My friend and I came here before we boarded the Narita express - nice atmosphere and clearly marked vegan options. We went around lunch time so had to wait for a while but was worth it. My friend got the vegan ‘fake meat’ burger which was nice however it was actually a veggie patty, I got the tofu wrap plate - wrap was yummy but would advice just getting the wrap and some potato wedges as a side if you’re super hungry instead of the plate.

Pros: Vegan options clearly market

Cons: Relatively expensive for lunch

Great atmosphere and delicious food. Though on the expensive side, it was extremely fresh. Can create your own salad which is good value.

Good pricey vegan food, bad service

The place is really nice: modern, cozy, with plants everywhere. The menu is not extensive but has some good vegan dishes. I had a custom salad, so I could choose all the veggies I wanted and the dressing. It was absolutely delicious, I loved every bite of my salad that came with a slice of bread and an oven baked potato. My husband ordered a truffle vegan burger. And here’s the problem: I got my salad, but my husband had the wrong dish (meat), so he had to wait 25 more minutes.. he had his burger almost half and hour after my salad. So depressing. The waiter apologized, but if you are with someone at a restaurant it’s because you wanna eat TOGETHER. I waited for my husband’s burger like an idiot for 25 minutes without touching my salad (I felt guilty). Well, the burger was tiny, and not worth the price. We had better vegan burgers in Japan. So, great salad, super fresh and vegan, disappointing burger, overpriced and served just too late.

Pros: salad

Cons: service

very fresh

My husband and I came here for lunch after an unsuccessful trip to a different restaurant that turned out to be closed. We had been walking around hungover all morning looking for food and this place arrived like a mirage. Honestly some of the freshest food I had the whole time I was in japan. The atmosphere was very cute with plants everywhere and serve yourself fruit waters. We shared a wrap with a salad and roasted potatoes as well as a homemade juice that had strawberries and beets. Everything was delicious. Some reviews are saying this place was expensive, but I live in New York and prices were less than what I usually pay for similar food that is not as fresh here. They had many options for vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike, all were clearly labeled. English menu available.

Meh

Overpriced, ordinary food. Long waits, inattentive staff, meals came out at different times. Coffee served long after cake was eaten.

Pros: Beautiful setting, Gorgeous dessert

Cons: Expensive, Long waits

Busy, friendly, tasty and busy.

Will start by noting that you have to sign yourself in on the booking sheet in front of the entrance.
Clearly marked vegan section on the menu.
I had the brown rice dish with mock meat and mixed vegetables and herbs and a 'cleanse' vegan smoothy.
Tasty and a decent sized portion.
Was busy and was the only person sat outside.
Don't rely on Google Maps to find it! Look for mosaic street.

Pros: Vegan options. Friendly.

tasty but pricey

Tasty burgers but a bit expensive given their size.
Very clearly marked though and in a cool side street close to station.

This restaurant is super cute with lots of plants and stunning decor. Would give five stars if I could. I got the vegan wrap, which was amazing, and my non-vegan friends enjoyed the food as well.

Pros: many vegan options, vegan desserts!

Cons: a little bit pricy

Fresh & Authentic

Would give 5 stars but happy cow doesn’t allow 5 for Omni restaurants. Perfect if you’re eating with meat/dairy/egg eaters etc. Amazing coffee, fresh wraps, burgers, crepes. Would recommend the Dr. Beauty acai smoothie!

Pros: fresh , great coffee, nice atmosphere

Cons: not 100% vegan
