We liked but did not love it

Had 2 types of burgers. The focaccia wasn’t that great but the plate with broccoli and fries overall was. Nothing out of the ordinary though, so I thought it was slightly expensive for what it was. Also the seating could have been cosier, it was located in a basement that felt a little small

Solid but not super great

The food was good but I expected more tbh. There was only one person serving and cooking so it took some time. Had the meatballs in marinara and mushroom soup. I think for Tokyo, this place is good, compared to Berlin it's 🤷🏼 also slightly expensive

Pros: All veggie, Nice room, Central

Cons: Slightly expensive , Takes time

It was good!

We had a good time there. The space is nice. The portions are reasonable and the prices are relatively high, but it’s flavorful and the staff was very friendly!

Yummy and healthy

I had the nuggets sandwich which’s pretty good, I like that they offer healthy options instead of fries I had broccoli. The cake was nice as well but a little pricey for what it was #Veganuary

Pros: Convenient location , Delicious, Healthy options

Cons: A little expensive , Closed to early

Great

Great vegetarian restaurant. I tried their ホーリーカウビーフサンド (Holy cow beef sandwich) and it was delicious. You can choose a side of fries, broccoli. That focaccia and a Coca-Cola were ¥1,880. You can order from your phone using a QR code. You can pay with a card. They’re taking measures against COVID-19, with screens between the tables.

The place is nice and got cuter :)

Some years ago, this place had mainly good burgers, so I wanted to go back again, but it's not until today that I could, and to my surprise, the menu and decorations changed! Instead of burgers it is now foccacia bread, and they have a much more varied menu now^^

Pros: Variety in the menu, Generous portions, Able to choose broccoli or carrots or fries

Delicious and filling

Place was quite hidden which was nice cause there wasn’t much people. The food were super delicious and love how it was well prepared and served. Will surely come back and try the other menu.

Pros: Lots of options to choose, They have menu with different languages, Adjustable to any preference

Cons: Quite pricy, May take awhile to find the place

Pasta is also nice

The lunch pasta menu includes fresh salad, vegan spaghetti (Cabbage Carbonara with sausages, Mushroom Peperoncino or Bolognaise sauce) and a soft drink. Gluten free options available
Focaccia burgers seem to be more popular, but the Beef burger contains eggs and Fish burger with eggs and dairy

Vegan Egg was Excellent!!

The vegan eggs was very delicious.
I can't believe the day come when eggs become plant-based.
Definitely want to come again.

Diarrhea

I have visited this restaurant more than 15 times, but every time I eat here, I get diarrhea an hour or two after eating here. This is the same thing that happens to me when I accidentally ingest milk or eggs as a vegan.
At this restaurant, you must state specifically if you want a meal to be vegan, but even then, I suspect ingredients such as buns or so still have some dairy or eggs.

Cons: Vegan options are possibly not vegan

Tasty sandwich

I ordered Chicken Chunk Sandwich with Tandoori sauce, and it was so tasty. I’ll definitely come again and try other foods!

tasty, filling portions

I went here twice and really liked it both times. I had the regular "beef" burger and some mince meat / sausage side dish in a skilled, and I enjoyed both. Prices are a bit higher than the typical Japanese lunch price, but I felt they were average compared to other vegan places in Tokyo. I am thankful that the portions were on the large side so you definitely won't leave hungry, unlike so many other veg*n places in the city.
Highly recommend the low-sugar tiramisu (note: if I recall correctly, it's not vegan).

Pros: ample portions, drink bar comes with set meals, delicious filling food

A little off Ikebukuro station but worth the walk.
Burgers are delicious and there are many vegan options.

Pros: Vegetable side’s instead of potato fries , Delicious filling burger

Cons: A little off the station , Hard to find, No vegan beef patty option

Meaty goodness

We tried a burger and the chikn nuggets. We got it to go, which meant it was pretty soggy by the time we got to eat it, but it was really good. Not cheap, but worth it if you’re craving a meaty burger.
