Serves meat, vegan options available. In Tokyo Station’s Ramen Street which is downstairs from ground level, but before going through ticket gates. Ordering is done via a ticketing machine where the menu is in Japanese but the three vegan friendly options are labeled in English. Open Mon-Sun 9:00am-10:30pm.

Nice food, but very noisy - Edit
We had to search the restaurant, for a bit, but were happy we found it. Ordering is from a ticket machine, which didn't have as good instructions for foreigners as other machines. But luckily someone from staff was helping when he saw us.
Read moreFood is nice and a bit spicy. There is also a small, but good selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Service was fast. But it was very noisy (not only from the station).
Pros: Very helpful staff, Spicy food, Nice drink selection
Cons: Instructions on ticket machine could be better, Very noisy

Solid vegan ramen - Edit
Basically your only choice for vegan ramen on Tokyo Ramen Street. The tantan ramen was pretty good and it had a nice level of spice. The queue to get in can get long during rush hour. There will be a ticket machine at the front of the line and it will have clearly marked vegan options in English. There's a tantan ramen, a shoyu ramen (which I didn't have) and vegan boiled gyoza. In addition they also have gluten free brown rice noodles as an option for an additional 500 yen. There's fried garlic and extra spices at your table which were appreciated. While the ramen is good, the gyoza isn't really noteworthy. It's just there.

Cons: Gyoza is a miss for me

Vegan Ramen Soranoiro – Nippon - Edit
They offered two types of vegan ramen, as well a gluten-free noodle option that was made from brown rice! I ordered the vegan shoyu and the vegan tan tan noodle. I preferred the tan tan noodle better than the soy based one that was lacking a bit of umami flavor.

A bonus point for being outside the ticket gate - Edit

Dandan ramen - Edit
The vegan dandan ramen was my favourite bowl of ramen in Japan so far! We came before the dinner rush and could take our time. Flavourful soup, not spicy, loved the flavour from the sesame oil. Not a lot of AC since the front opens to ramen street on Tokyo, bring a handheld fan ("handi") if you need it for the hot soup 🤭

Delighted. - Edit
Three clearly marked vegan dishes. Ordering is done by kiosk and seating is along a wall or at a community table. We both had the dan-dan noodle. The ramen was great, and the broth was spicy, rich and not salty. All in all, filling and delicious. Anxious to return. On a side street of Ramen St.
Read morePros: Priced right. , Delightful staff, Very fast service.

Vegan ramen - Edit
Vegan ramen was good but had a very strong soy flavour. It was very busy at 1pm on a Saturday so be prepared to queue. Order is via a machine when you get to the front of the line (credit card not accepted).

Underwhelming, too much sesame - Edit
I was really excited because they had vegan dan dan noodles, one of my favourites. Unfortunately it didn't taste at all like dan dan. All the other flavours were completely drowned out in neverending sesame. No spiciness at all, close to none greens. 20 minutes wait in line had really raised my appetite, but in the end I couldn't even finish the whole portion. Can't recommend.

I think your comments are unfair. It’s a vegan interpretation of a pork dish. Perhaps adjust your taste perceptions for food that is better than the original?

Good Ramen, not the easiest to find - Edit

Leckere Ramen - Edit
Man bestellt an einem Automaten wo die Ramensuppe klar ersichtlich als vegan gekennzeichnet wurde.
Read moreDiese war sehr lecker aber auch sehr mächtig (fettig).
Man konnte nicht richtig schauen was es genau gibt (dem Bahnhof geschuldet) weil es quasi Fliessbandarbeit war :-)
Dennoch war es lecker!
Pros: Größe der Portion, Preis
Cons: Es war ein bisschen hektisch

Amazing ramen - Edit
I come here every time I visit Tokyo! The vegan ramen is incredible. Sometimes there are two options (one with a vegan meat crumble) and sometimes just one. During my most recent visit a month ago there was a really tasty and slightly spicy one which I highly recommend! The vegan gyozas also hit the spot.

Yummy but long wait lines - Edit
This place is pretty good and has a vegan ramen with the option of soup or no soup. It also has vegan boiled gyozas. It was pretty tasty and filling.
Read moreThe wait time was about 20 mins at lunch time on a Saturday. You order everything from the vending machine before you get seated once they have space available.
Pros: Good option for meat and vegan eaters together
Cons: Can have long wait times

Nice ramen - Edit
You order at the machine and then you queue with your ticket and wait to be seated. They have one vegan ramen option which is labeled. The ramen has some unconventional toppings like tomatoes and pine nuts, but the broth was really nice. It’s 1500 yen so a bit pricey, but nice if you’re in Tokyo station and in need of a meal!
Read morePros: Vegan labeled
Cons: Pricey

Decent- hard to find and broth was very nutty tasting - Edit
Was really looking forward to this ramen place and overall it was “okay.” They must use a ton of MSG and oil as my belly was not happy with me afterwards.

Great ramen that’s worth the hunt - Edit
A hard to find place that serves great ramen. Went with a mixed vegan and omnivore group. Order and pay at the machine first before queuing to give the order tickets. Not many seats and had to break into 2 groups. Staff were really friendly and it has a nice atmosphere. Really good ramen for a good price

3.5☆ good Ramen - Edit
The ramen was really good! The broth was flavourful and a little spicy. Service was friendly.
Read moreWe (2) got a place on a table for four. A few minutes later, the staff directed another couple to our table. So we could watch the couple eating and they could watch us. Which I found very unpleasant.
There were a lot of empty seats but we didn't expect them to put people to our place.
Also, I don't think tomatoes belong in ramen, but that's just my taste.
I was missing an option to refill.
Conclusion: the ramen was nice but expensive (1500¥). I think there are better places in tokyo to enjoy ramen.
Pros: Good Ramen
Cons: Expensive , Tomatoes, No refill

Good Ramen at Tokyo Station - Edit
We needed some time to find this place, but it was worth the effort. Try to find the „Ramen Street“ first and then look for this Ramen shop. Ordering is done at a machine, after ordering you queue in the line. Vegan options are clearly labelled.
