Those who are feeling hungry in Shimokitazawa

This was the place I needed after going through all these galleries around Shimokitazawa. Great staff and the food serves very properly as well :—) Could recommend!!

vegan Panda Express

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.

Got 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

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

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

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.

Pros: Price, Food

Cons: Cold dishes, Limited choice

Good but nothing special

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.
Prefer authentic Chinese food.

Great every time

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.
Flavours 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

Very good American-Chinese experience

Very good experience overall with a lot of vegan options that are very difficult to find around, especially in Tokyo.

Pros: Variety of vegan substitutes options

Cons: Not too many veggies

Best Chinese VEGAN food in Tokyo🤘🤘🤘

Oscars served up at least 7 entrees or more displayed in front of you to choose from! The flavor is so delicious that I went back for a second plate!

Pros: Freshly made entrees!, Variety of choices, 💯 Vegan!

Tasty but cold

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!

Cons: Expensive

Great food

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

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).
For the record, the pina colada is not worth 800yen

Pros: Good menu, Good flavor, Surrounding area

Cons: Coldish food , Slightly overpriced

Cool Place but cold food

Cool place but the food out of the big wok was mostly cold. Not sure if it should be like that but we did not like it that much.

Pros: All vegan , ICE CUBE ice cubes

Cons: Cold

It’s the vegan Panda Express in Tokyo…

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.

Pros: Quick and dirty Chinese food , Nice restaurant space

Cool Place

Laid back vibe, service was good and staff were cool. Pretty cheap and lots of choice. Food was tasty.

The area this was is was also really chill and nice. As a tourist in Tokyo I enjoyed it compared to the busier areas.

Vegan panda express

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.

I'm not American so not too familiar with Panda Express, but this was just what we needed after a night of drinking

Edit after going on a less hungover day: It is very salty and oily, as you can see, just beware of that fact 😜

Delicious and filling!

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 😊

Delicious food and nice atmosphere

Nice place with tasty food.
Even though there is officially no gluten-free, the staff was nice and checked everything and was able to find out an option.

Pros: The food is really tasty!, Cafe surrounded by green area

Cons: There is no allergy sign in the menu, A little number of gluten-free options

Big portions and delicious food

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.

Pros: Big portions , Many choices, Really good

Cons: The meal set doesn't come with a drink

Fantastic food but has room to improve

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.

Could 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

Yum!

The food was very tasty, a few dishes were a bit too salty though. They serve jasmine green tea with your meal which was really refreshing (you can also get soda). The server was very nice and spoke a bit of English. They were very helpful with nut allergies.

Pros: Yummy food, Friendly staff, Affordable

Cons: Some dishes a bit too salty
