Nice concept - Edit
Nice taste and wonderful soup. We took the dinner course. The salad, soup, Yakitori were amazing but the main dishes were not so special ( I got ramen and my husband katsu set with vegan eggs). Will definitely go back to try other dishes!

Amazing vegan Unaju - Edit
Lunch course 2000 yen was amazing! I had non vegan unaju when I was a little and it tastes much better than non vegan unaju. I'll come here again ☺️

Splendid! - Edit
A must visit being if you are a vegan in Tokyo! Delicious food and a very kind staff which is more than willing to give further explanations about the menu. The taste was just right and presentation very pretty. The vegan blueberry cheesecake is my recommendation 😋

本気のビーガン日本料理 - Edit
Every dish that’s served at Saido will give every vegetarian and vegan the true sense of Japanese cuisine. It’s a must go for traditional yakisoba, unagi, and katsu on rice. All dishes have a rich and deep flavour and texture that will make you want to come back. The staff don’t try and rush you to order from the menu, you can take your time and relax here.

Delicious - Edit
Delicious lunch sets and great service. Got the Miso ramen for main dish, I was pleasantly surprised. Full of flavors! I have no complaints except for that I am now wobbling away, very full.

Best meal in Japan - Edit
Every single item we ordered was delicious! The vegan egg is especially satisfying on ramen, amazingly tastes exactly like egg. Can not recommend enough, if you pick one restaurant in Tokyo come here.

Highly recommend - Edit
If you want to have traditional Japanese food, but vegan, Saido is the place to go. They create “meat” dishes out of vegetables rather than the usual soy meat, and it’s incredibly well done. I don’t think you would know it was vegan if someone didn’t tell you. I had the yakitori (highly recommend), vegan eel, and blueberry cheesecake.
Read morePros: Fair prices, Vegetables used in innovative ways, All vegan!
Cons: Top secret recipes, I want to learn the magic😉

I will come again! - Edit
I found Saido on Happy Cow and Google. I'm staying downtown Tokyo and I'm very glad that I have found this wonderful place 1 hour from my hotel (my favorite coffee shop is Onibus in Megero city so I took an espresso on my way there). The location is easily accessible by metro and the surrounding are originally surprising, well aligned with the plant-based concept! I took the "Saido Lunch". People are very friendly and the service is excellent. Presentation is aesthetically pleasing and above all original. Food tastes very good. Music is tasteful. Ambiance is good and cozy. There's a strong attention to details. I can write more positive things about my experience but I'm gonna let you discover the rest by trying it by yourself!

Overrated - Edit
We came to this location after we read all the positive reviews so We connected the visit with our Stay in Tokyo. We really did look forward to Have this special experience everyone is talking about but me and my husband were dissapointed...My hubby tried the ramen which was bland. The Curry which I ordered was to spicy.

Lovin' every bit of the experience! - Edit
We had such a wonderful time. The food is super yummy with so much flavour and they are beautifully garnished . We were welcomed by super friendly stuff, cosy, warm and clean atmosphere too.
Read moreWe are family of one vegan and 5 non vegans and it is often a struggle to find a place that makes everyone super happy. Saido is definitely the place. They have dish to enjoy full potential of vegetables as well as interesting and well made mock meat dish. We ordered a lot of dish and everything was just devine. Price is also very reasonable considering the quality of the food and service.
Very happy customers here. Will definitely come back and recommend to anyone who is looking for a restaurant that is inclusive and enjoyable. Also the chef is a bit of eye candy😉
