Cute and friendly place, but with a lot of space - Edit
Sasaya Cafe is located near a nice park with seas and garden-like scape for walking and playing, looking at ducks and other birds.
Read moreThe cafe is dog friendly, english menu is available.
We had the special of the day, and the curry of the week. It was delicious and we had nothing to complain. We took 2 deep frozen meals with us, that were available in the shop.

Great place! - Edit
Visited shortly after noon and already missed curry which we regret. Still special of the day (Italian croquet), Tem peh and sandwich of the day (with hummus and veggie) were great. Don’t miss the caramel ice cream!!

Menu seems to have shrunk? - Edit
I came a little out of my way to come here because the pictures and reviews were pretty good, and I was feeling the idea of tempeh katsu, but it seems that (possibly with the devaluation of the yen?) this place has shrunk its lunch offerings. The only items on the lunch board were a hummus sandwich or a curry set.
Read moreI got the curry set and while it was very inexpensive (only ¥800) and fairly tasty, the meal set was mostly rice. The rice tray was twice the size of the amount of curry offered, with a small portion (maybe one or two bites) of greens. The curry was just some carrots and potatoes with a few peas, and would’ve been better with either a bean or at least more variety. I left more than half the rice behind because I ran out of curry to put on it. So while everything tasted good, it was sort of a disappointment, especially in a city where the food is overwhelmingly good.
They had a lot of cute-looking vegan pastries and even soft serve, plus non-dairy coffee and tea drinks. I didn’t try any but it seems that’s now more their focus than lunch sets.
It is a large space so you will likely get a table and honestly at the price there’s only so much anyone could complain… if you want a fast, cheap meal this isn’t a bad option. Just know it won’t be as varied or interesting as what people have posted here before, unless I was just unlucky today.

Desayuno perfecto - Edit
Pedí pastel de Sakura y un café y le encanto el sabor del pastel, que era la primera vez que lo probaba, la textura de la crema era muy buena. A destacar el café! A pesar de ser un café con mucha cantidad (tipo café largo/americano) tenía mucho sabor

Fine - Edit
The venue was nice and spacious, though in there was a wait around 2pm on a Monday. I stayed over an hour and a table was kept reserved with no customers the whole time.
Read moreKatsu set was underwhelming. The sauce was very vinegar heavy (and I love vinegar, but this wasn’t nice). Was excited for the cake, but the crust was so hard I couldn’t cut through it with my fork. The soup was the best part of my meal.
There’s a small shop inside you can buy vegan chocolate and some frozen curries.
Pros: Nice interior
Cons: Food underwhelming

Best curry around! - Edit
We enjoyed the curry and tempeh set meal. We also ordered the poppy seed orange muffin, tiramasu, summer orange peal oatmeal cookie, soft serve soy ice cream, and an organic beer. So far, all was excellent except the muffin and cookie were a bit dry and the flour I think was left over soy flour. The atmosphere was great! Beautiful classic piano was playing along with adorable artwork on the wall. Their vegan shop was also charming.

Really good food - Edit
Really flavorful and healthy food. We got the curry meal and another type of rice dish they had. They were the only two options available after 4pm. They were both delicious and inexpensive compared to other restaurants.

Very filling Indian Tempeh Katsu Curry - Edit
I thoroughly enjoyed the Indian tempeh Katsu curry! The portion is large but just right to sate a very hungry appetite and the flavors mesh well together with the soy masala chai! The chai came with a free herbal tea. They accept various e-payment methods and the staff who served us at the time spoke English. Nice vibes and spacious atmosphere.
Read morePros: Many tasty vegan options , Free refillable veggie infused water , Accepts e-payment such as PayPay, Merpay, etc

Excellent atmosphere - Edit
We popped into Sasaya Cafe when we had time to burn before Tokyo Sky Tree opened. We loved the open, airy, and calming atmosphere of the cafe! We tried a large cookie and piece of banana cake as well as tea lattes and were extremely happy. Highly recommend!

Airy Cafe with wholesome food - Edit
Worth the walk- it is a bit out of the way. Friendly staff, filling and wholesome food at a fair price. The airy warehouse style building was a Covid-phobic's dream.

Delicious Food in a Cozy Atmosphere - Edit
I often heard about Sasaya Cafe, but never really got the opportunity to try it out, as it is quite far from my usual Tokyo spots. Finally I made a plan, and oh how happy I was to go!
Read moreThe food was really delicious and the atmosphere was cozy, perfect to just slow down and chill for awhile. We got the tempeh cutlet plate and the cutlet Indian curry plate. Both were excellent, seasoned perfectly. For dessert we shared an incredible strawberry beetroot cake.
All the food is vegan, but unfortunately the attached shop sells honey.

A Filling Meal for its price! - Edit
One of my family relatives owns this restaurant so I may be biased, but when I went to this restaurant with my mother - the venue and vibe of Sasaya Cafe was really comforting. Not only did it have meals, but it also sold reusable straws, vegan chocolate, vegan biscuits and treats which was really cool! I ordered the tempe-katsu curry and vegan cheesecake which was stunning. The temple katsu-curry is affordable despite being vegan, and it was a filling meal I really liked. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who is vegan, want to try good and affordable vegan food, etc.
