Best restaurant in Tokyo

Saido never ceases to amaze me. It is hands down not just the best vegan restaurant in Tokyo, but the best restaurant in all of Tokyo.

First of all, the staff are consistently wonderful. Whether it be the manager, the owner/chef, or a part-timer, they always make sure that everything is to your liking, and are more than helpful in explaining any questions you might have. There is also an English menu if you don't read Japanese.

Now for the food. After trying I think every main dish on offer at Saido, the only problem you're going to run into here is what you should order, because everything is beyond delicious. While it is slightly on the pricey side (now 2000 yen for a set menu including a drink), it's worth every single yen. There's also an extensive wine, beer, and Japanese sake menu if you're so inclined.

Saido is a must visit, it is worth the train trip from wherever you may be in Tokyo.

What a feast!

Went for lunch with a friend. For 2000jpy, a really creative three course meal with a nice drink (nonalcoholic sparkling wine was an option!) is amazing value.

Worth the trip!

Echo the other reviews- delicious, creative, and wonderful staff. We got the buns, mapo don and enagi. These and the seasonal dinner appetizers were delicious. The overall neighborhood also had some of my favorite shops/souvenirs from our trip - very charming and a highlight area of our visit.

料理は素晴らしくて、おいしかったです。

WORTH TRAVELLING FOR!! Delicious lunch with a bit of surprise theatre!

The food at Saido is incredibly delicious and well prepared. Amazing presentation too which makes the meal that little bit more special!
We got the lunch-set which had so many options to choose from. I got the Katsu-ju and my GF partner was able to get the Yaki-soba because they have gluten-free noodles too (a little extra charge, but worth it!).

Highly recommend!!

Pros: Service , Fun presentation , Amazing food

Absolutely great experience

Absolutely great experience at Saido. Perfect for families with children. Cosy and the food was awesome. impressive attention for the small details in both food and service. One of the best vegan dining experience.
Especially when we are vegetarians who don’t take onion and garlic. The first restaurant that has a full menu where we can have anything :)

Excellent vegan food

We enjoyed the ramen and unagi don very much - both were tasty and well-executed. Highly recommend to try it out. Definitely worth the trip to Saido.

Be ready to be amazed!

Woa, totally recommend the unagi and the other rice dishes. The yakitori is mental. On the pricey side, but oh so worth it. Maybe worth calling ahead, it's a small shop.

Best vegan restaurant ever

I've never been to a place where I've wanted to try all the options on the menu. This is like a Michilen style restaurant with down to earth prices. The best vegan restaurant you will probably be to in Japan if not the world. Everything is pure class. It will go down in my books as the best vegan restaurant I've ever been to in my life. If your vegan and in Tokyo don't miss this opportunity for some vegan fine dining 💚🌱💚

Pros: 100% vegan

Cons: None

Fantastic meal!

What a gem of a place! Tucked away in a quiet alleyway, this cozy place serves up amazing vegan Japanese dishes. Everything we had was delicious - french fries to start, the unagi and katsu for mains, and the blueberry cheesecake for dessert. The complimentary appetizer was refreshing. The staff are incredibly friendly and speak great English. If you're in Tokyo, this place is a must! Do not miss out! So glad we made the trek here.

Pros: All vegan, all delicious

Best Vegan Meal In My Life 😍

The restaurant is located in a very relaxing & quiet area in Jiyugaoka (自由が丘), surrounded by plants 🌱

I ordered 3 plates; the vegan cheese salad with genovese sauce, vegan yakitori (grilled chicken), and the FAMOUS vegan eel over rice. All were delicious! As a recently turned vegetarian, I never thought that I would able to eat eel (one of my favorite foods) again. It exceeded my expectations; the flavor & texture were exceptional. I highly recommendation trying this dish.

The service was excellent & the staff super friendly😄I recommend this restaurant to everyone who visits Tokyo!

Lots of vegan options!

Tasty food, with lots of options! This place is all vegan, has an English menu, and also have staff that can speak English. This is the largest vegan menu I've seen so far during my visit to Tokyo, and had a hard time deciding to be honest... I ended up getting a salad and the katsu, which were both good! They really pay attention to detail (and flavor)! It makes sense they are a bit on the pricer side. The restaurant itself is well decorated and has WiFi as well, but is a bit tucked away down a side street, don't be intimidated and stop by for some delicious food!

Pros: Lots of vegan options
