Oscar is my go-to for a quick splurge meal. It's so great to have access to a place that nails the American Chinese taste here in Shimokita. The staff are all lovely and the vibe is really neat, so 5 stars even though the food tends to be a bit cold.
Read moreIf you bring your non-veg friends along, they wouldn't be able to tell that all the items are vegan!☆
My usual order: platter with half and half sides (lo mein and fried rice)and half and half mains (orange chicken and general tsos).
Honorable mention: honey walnut shrimp.
Want to try next: egg rolls and spicy peanut noodles.
English: OK!
Payment: Cashless only
Pros: great staff, great concept, many options
Cons: food tends to be a little cold, a bit pricey for locals

vegan Panda Express - Edit
I think they nailed the mall food court, Panda Express, chow mein has been sitting for a little too long under the heat lamp vibes. I enjoyed it.
Read moreGot the plate and the portion size was good. Very filling.
I recommend the excellent homemade lemonade over the pink lemonade soda, which appears to just be Hi-C. (Unless you like Hi-C.)
Pros: big portions , homemade lemonade , Panda Express vibes
Cons: pink lemonade soda appears to just be Hi-C

Cold, Sweet, n Greasy - Edit
Not much to write home about tbh. I don’t think I’d go here again since the food was sort of tepid and congealed. It did taste like North American style chinese food though 😜

Nice fast food - Edit
It’s great that this place offers so many options you wouldn’t be able to find elsewhere. But personally, I didn’t find it as good as most reviews say. The food was only lukewarm, and I expected more from the flavor. It was good, just not incredible.

An off night - Edit
We dropped by for a quick dinner at 6:30 and most of the dishes were finished. Everything tasted good, fully vegan, but it is as expected: American Chinese fast food. General Tsaos “chicken”, chow mein, chop suey etc. Fine to fill a hungry stomach but nothing to write home about.

Good but nothing special - Edit
To be honest after seeing the reviews I was expecting more. It was tasty but nothing special. And to our disappointment all dishes were not properly heated. Which I found strange since we arrived just a few minutes after they opened.

Great every time - Edit
My husband and I LOVE Oscars! It reminds me of childhood(Chinese takeaway or a cheeky panda express). Portions are generous(on the big side) and we feel the price is fair too.
Read moreFlavours and textures are yum yum yum.
Busy on the weekends of course but a weekday is usually really chill and not so many people. As with any place check their instagram for updates on days off etc.
Pros: Flavour, Portion, All vegan

Tasty but cold - Edit
Tasty Chinese food but quite greasy. Some of the dishes incurred a 100 surcharge which was weird because then they didn’t even serve a full portion size of it. Not sure why the food is cold. Staff put new food into the woks when we went but it was also not hot. We didn’t realise you can order entrees separately before we ordered so take a look at those options too!

Went there like three times during our stay, never had American Chinese food but I imagine this is close, if only all Chinese places were veggie

Good Food - Edit
This delivered on solid American Chinese food, but we found it overpriced given the experience is basically the same as a Panda Express. It was certainly good, but as other reviews have mentioned, the food is left out in trays so it may be cold/slightly stale if you get something from an older tray. If you're craving classic American Chinese dishes, it's worth a trip (plus the surrounding area is very fun).

It’s the vegan Panda Express in Tokyo… - Edit
This place is quite literally a vegan Panda Express. I ordered their Lunch Deluxe plate with 3 mains. I tried the General Tso’s chicken, the mapo tofu and the beef with broccoli. Everything was good, but don’t expect anything fancy here. The restaurant space is pretty clean with interesting decor.

Vegan panda express - Edit
It's vegan panda express. You to up to the counter and ask the guy to shovel some rice and mains onto your plate. Mains include broccoli and beef, kung pao chicken, mapao tofu, etc.

Delicious and filling! - Edit
Went here on a rainy day for some fabulous vegan American-Chinese food. Options are great - I had the chow mein, brown rice, orange chicken, chop suey and jasmine green tea. The venue itself has room to improve, but the food was exactly what I was after 😊

Big portions and delicious food - Edit
I had the general tso and beef with string beans with Chow mein and it was all really good. The only bad side is that, as someone said before, although the menu said that the meal combo comes with a drink after paying I was told that you have to order it separately.

Fantastic food but has room to improve - Edit
The good: THE FOOD!!!! Everything was fantastic, with the chow mein and the orange chicken being exactly like the non-vegan versions I used to love. The funky atmosphere and cool music are nice too.
Read moreCould be better: The line moved slowly because the it took a long time for the staff to process everyone’s orders. Hopefully this will improve as they hire more folks and those folks gain more XP. Music selection (hip hop/ rap) was cool but a little loud.
The menu is deceptive too. It claims the Lunch Deluxe comes with 1 side, 3 mains, and 1 drink. After finally receiving our orders and paying, we asked the staff for our drink cups. Then she said the drinks are free only on weekdays. This was not written anywhere that we saw, and no one mentioned it when checking out. We were given a dinky paper cup for water that we couldn’t refill without asking them. Surely an “American” restaurant can include a drink with a combo meal?
Still, the food is amazing, and if they ever make a Yokohama location, I’ll be a regular. Thank you, Oscar, for existing! #Veganuary
