Good burgers a little pricy! - Edit
Don’t get me wrong it was so good getting a tasty burger I haven’t had in so long but for a burger and a drink it was over ¥2000 ! Although I will be coming back! Definitely worth the food :)

Best burger ever - Edit
We took a very long train ride and an expensive cab ride to get to two vegan places that ended up being closed. Found this place on google. We ordered the lentil burger. I’ve had vegan burgers in many places but none have lived up to this. The fries were amazing and the juices. The staff is super nice. This was close to some really cool shops so it was a bonus being in the area.

Well worth it! Must try! - Edit
The interior of this place is great, it’s so relaxing and comfortable and the server spoke very good English. The options on the menu all look so good! Honestly, I had a hard time deciding what to get because of how good they looked. We went with burgers and they were very tasty. I’ve had a good few vegan burgers on my visit to Japan and this is definitely up there with the best. Definitely recommend trying this out, we’ll be going back to try more options for sure!

One of my fav cafe in Tokyo/Cozy and Delicious - Edit
All the menu is vegan,
Read moreI ordered the Soy Kara Don and it was good :)
The carrot peanut butter salad on the side of the Don was especially tasty, and the soup too! my friend ordered the burger and she loved it!
The lemon cheesecake is also good, and the chocolate bar too (I really liked it! kind of like snickers)!
Another day I had the energy salad (not too much but it was a good amount), the beets dressing was delicious!
Cozy ambience, plus, the owner is a really nice person!!
I really like this place, sometimes go to study.
Pros: Food is tasty, Good owner, Cozy
Cons: Tasty but not helarious

Simply wonderful! - Edit
The location of the restaurant was quaint and intimate. You need to take the entrance where there is a shop selling Indian homewares and the restaurant is tucked in right at the back. Food was delicious and of good value! The seasonal Indian dishes we tried were authentic tasting and as Indians, both my mum and I were impressed. Also the staff, both serving and the chef, are really warm and welcoming. Would definitely come again given the chance :)
Read morePros: Good value delicious food, Cheese cake was yummm, Staff are very lovely
Cons: The stag head near the table we got seated at :(

delicious food and beautiful atmosphere - Edit
I had the Lapaz burger with french fries (you have to choose between fries and soy nuggets), a soy matcha latte and the trifle. I added a soy latte on because I was relaxing so much and didn't want to leave.
Read moreThe main dish came with a salad and house-made pickles. Everything was excellent. The matcha latte and latte weren't sweet at all and there wasn't a dish of sugar provided. I actually enjoyed the slight bitterness of the matcha latte- both drinks were a nice antidote to the overly sweetened drinks that so many coffee shops seem to make. (They might have sweetener to give you if you ask for it, but I didn't.)
I wanted the cheesecake but they were sold out - my only disappointment.
The trifle had a coconut chia seed pudding on the bottom, which I often make at home, but the top layer had a really realistic cheese flavor, even though it was vegan. It was really nice and not something that I could easily make by myself, but maybe slightly too rich for me. I think I would have liked sharing it with someone more than having it all myself.
They also provided water infused with oranges and lemons the staff had brought back from Mie Prefecture the previous day.
The restaurant is in a complex with some interesting shops that stock imports from India, Nepal and so on...very pretty and atmospheric as the wares are spilling out into the shared courtyard.
The decor was lovely, which makes sense because I believe the restaurant was started by a stylist. I liked the wood plank tables.
There are a few things you can buy to take home like boxes of soymilk and handmade chocolate bars.
It seems to close early as 6 was the last order today (Wednesday). A lot of people came in right before last order.
I love restaurants with this attention to detail evident in the food and decor. I paid 3700 yen for the food and drink and have not a single regret.
Pros: Lovely food, Great decor, Lots of vegan choices
Cons: Closes early

Incredible Food & Incredible Service - Edit
This restaurant was FANTASTIC! My partner and I are vegan and we both loved our meals (I highly recommend the teriyaki burger.) Not only was the food delicious, but the restaurant was beautiful and the service was exceptional. When I arrived my waitress hung up my coat, gave me a basket to put my bag in, and handed me a blanket! At the end of our meal the head waiter took a polaroid pic of me and my partner as a souvenir. Again, I cannot recommend this place enough!

Creative Atmosphere- super tasty food - Edit
Check this place out! All organic, locally grown ingredients; fresh as the sun is hot. Chef is amazing- beautiful presentations for each item. Super posh vibe, supposedly owned by a fashion designer who is vegan. Friendly staff. Highly recommend!

It’s so good you want to keep coming back. - Edit
It’s hard finding a vegan restaurant in Japan but it’s even more harder to find an Amazing vegan restaurant.
Read moreLapaz combines the western style cooking infused with a bit of Asian twist to bring you a true one of a kind experience you will not forget.
Their foods are all amazing and their drink selections are superb with many options to choose from.
Highly recommended to any foodies out there who wants a place to relax and enjoy a good vegan meal.
Pros: delicious , nice choice of selections , cozy
Cons: a bit far from public transportation , pricy

Tasty options for a day of Harajuku shopping - Edit
If you're in this area for shopping, this is a great lunch spot. We liked most of the dishes but mine was topped with an excess of vegan mayo, which was gross and I had to scrape off. I think the menu listed it as tartar sauce. In any event, service is kind and the food is assuredly vegan.

Best meal in Tokyo so far - Edit
I had the avocado burger with a rice bun and a side of nuggets. It reminds me of a better version of Japanese style fast food. I loved it.

This is a cozy organic restaurant in Harajuku. The menu seems to change a lot but their food is always good. The burgers are small but the taste make up for it. The staff are all very friendly and overall a good vibe.

Ok - Edit
Went there for a vegan meetup on a Friday night so perhaps this review may not be a true indication of their normal operations. Initially, I was impressed with the atmosphere and vibe from the staff. As the night grew on, they seemed to be understaffed for the crowd and the level of service declined. I ordered the kebab burger and, although it looked pretty good, found it to be rather bland. However, the biggest downside for me is in not being sure if the owners have a clear understanding of their target market as there is a mounted taxidermy deer head hanging on one of the walls (I personally found this to be disturbing and inconsistent with the restaurant's vegan concept).
Read morePros: Friendly staff, Restaurant layout, Location

Health to the max - Edit
Amazing staff - super friendly and accomodating. If you are looking for healthy green food this place is great. Everything is organic non gmo gluten free (I love gluten btw). I had the tempeh burger with a brown rice bun - note that this bun is actually brown rice. Not much salt or seasoning to the food but again this is because my fat western ass loves sodium. Go there for the toilet, it's super fancy.

Ten minutes from Takeshita Street - Edit
Just a ten minute walk from the bottom end of Takeshita Street, this nice little vegan restaurant is a great spot for lunch.
Read moreThey have an English menu, the staff are incredibly helpful and they speak some English too.
The portions are decent sizes, certainly more than enough for a single person. The mock-fried chicken is the best I've ever eaten and I'd highly recommend the no-bake cheesecake and the raw trifle, both of which are excellent.
Incidentally the directions in Google Maps aren't that accurate as they'll take you to the back of the building. Just go around the corner and you'll see this place easily - it's practically opposite a 7-11.
Pros: All vegan
Cons: It's a short walk from Takeshita Street so you'll
