Amazing vegan ramen, delicious gyoza at the right price

To eat at this place you have to enter the ueno train station (150yen), but it is absolutely worth it.
The food is delicious and very cheap

Good in a pinch

This was our first meal when we arrived in Japan, it was difficult to find and you need to pay to access the train station to get to the restaurant, but the food was delicious and it came out quickly, and the staff were friendly

Hard to find (for me) but so worth it

Beautifully presented and tasted just as good as it looked. Gyozas were amazing too. Will definitely be going back

Just saw previous post about service
Service I received was top notch. Although I arrived just after opening and was 1 of 2 in the store

Yummy but could be better

Will definitely do if you’re hungry and wanting ramen or rice bowl. Would definitely come back again but the service was only average. You are kind of rushed through but will definitely leave full.

Delicious, cheap food

Although a little tricky to find, when we arrived, the food was absolutely terrific. Soy chicken and vegetarian dumplings were incredibly tasty, and the waitress was super friendly. Totally recommend if you're passing through or near Ueno!

Pros: Friendliness, Quickness of service , Food quality

Let down

I was so excited to try T’s after seeing all of the amazing reviews! The gyoza was delicious, I wish I had ordered more than three pieces. Ramen portion size was great. The noodles were tasty; but, in my opinion, the broth was flavorless :(. It’s possible that I ordered the wrong flavor, this was just such a bummer! I’ll try again another time, I wish I had the same experience as others who have reviewed it.

Fully vegan traditional dishes

This place was a great find right inside the Ueno station. Try the massamen curry and the white sesame tantan. They are yummy. The calories are mentioned with every dish too. I love their vegetable gyoza dumplings too.

Great food!

Really great ramen dishes and gyoza. No notes! Non vegan friend also enjoyed their food.

It is in Ueno station, accessed through the Panda Bridge Entrance (eastern side). On the map, it is Business number 6.

Un buen lugar para veganos

Para encontrarlo debes entrar en la estación (pagando) y subir a la tercera planta. Recomiendo pedir ramen, nos pareció lo mejor del menú.

Pros: Restaurante vegano, Hablan inglés

Cons: Echamos en falta salsas

Delicious

After a very cold and rainy day running around Tokyo, it was great to stop at T's Tantan. The food is delicious, the staff are friendly, and the food comes out very fast. You can also get instant ramen to take home for 1000¥ for four cups. Can't recommend enough!

A must eat: delicious and affordable!

It took a min to find, as does everything in Japan if you are a Westerner just learning Japanese, but it was worth the hunt. It’s in a mall adjacent/inside the Ueno bullet train station. Super convenient. Super friendly staff.

And the food … 10/10, highly recommend. The menu is small but mighty. The ramen is slurp and drink the last bite delicious. This place’s high ratings are well deserved. Vegan gyosa was on point too!

vegan ramen options in the metro station

This restaurant is hard to find for a vegan tourist! You need to enter Ueno station then enter the metro gates. Then you need to go to the part of the station that has a third floor, find the long escalator, and check at the restaurant area floor map to locate T’s.

Side note: We added a Pasmo card on our phones, which makes it really easy, no need to purchase an IC card and no refill with cash. If you enter the metro gate only for that restaurant and exit at the same station, it charges 150¥ from your Pasmo card.

The restaurant had a line outside but the wait wasn’t too long. When it’s almost your turn, they bring you the menu outside to take your order. When you get seated your order is immediately served.

The vegan golden sesame ramen with a side of gyoza was very satisfying. Lots of different flavors going on there. After having tried the instant ramen from T’s, we can definitely say that they are a pale representation and eating there is way better!

Fast, convenient and delicious

You can’t go wrong with t’s Tantan.
Nice to have it in Ueno where aren’t many vegan options available.
A bit hard to find.

Delicious

Great food. Got the golden sesame tantan and the cold noodles, both were fantastic. Service was fast, efficient, and enthusiastic. Very cool place, but you do get a bit of a rushed feeling since it's in the station. I'll be back to try the other dishes.
I have since tried the black sesame tantan which is my new favorite!

Light and Tasty

I don’t typically think “wow, I want ramen for breakfast,” but I went right when they opened at 10:00 and it was a great start to my day. Had the golden sesame ramen and gyoza, delicious, light, and filling - definitely among my favorite vegan places I’ve tried here. I’d consider making this a regular spot on future trips to Tokyo.

Rich in flavor

A great dinner to end my day. I had the Golden Sesame Tantan and gyoza, both were so good, rich in flavor. As I've read in other people's reviews, the service is indeed really quick. It's almost like a fast food. Nevertheless, it was a satisfying dinner. The place is cute too, and cozy. #Veganuary

因为我们是游客,没有jr地铁卡,需要而外买票进去. 拉面是不错,挺好吃的 #Veganuary

Pros: 不错的日式拉面

Cons: 没有jr卡,需要而外买日元150进去地铁站,因为店铺位置在里面, 可能是地铁站,人流多,顾客也多,吃完不好意思逗留太久.

I understand the hype now

We ended up going to t’s twice in one day because it was so delicious. We couldn’t believe how fast the food came out the first time so the second time we timed it- two minutes and thirty seconds from ordering our food was out!
The flavours were great the gyoza was great. Overall great experience 😊 #Veganuary

Pros: Delicious , Cheap, Quick

Tasty ramen

The place was a bit confusing to find, but the food was worth it. I brought big luggage and it was no problem. The server asked me about any possible allergies, which was nice.

Good ramen

Conveniently located inside Ueno station. Careful: you have to enter the ticket gate to get to the restaurant.
The food was really good, but even though many reviews call it the best vegan ramen in Tokyo, I must say that there’s a lot of other great places in the city. So in my opinion this place is a bit overhyped.
Still very tasty and definitely worth the visit!

Tasty and convenient

We were coming through Ueno station anyway after traveling from Osaka and it was amazing to have such a good vegan option for a late lunch when we arrived.
They were also super nice and let us put our suitcases off to the side.
The food was yummy and we would happily return.

Pros: Friendly

Great food

I had the Massaman Curry and the Tantan Bowl. Both were great. Staff were friendly and it's less busy than the one at Tokyo Station.

Pros: Tasty food, Friendly staff, Inexpensive
