Read this if you are lost/can’t find it!!

Google maps is not helpful in finding this place so I want to help you out instead. First, please know that this location is INSIDE the train station BEHIND the turnstiles/ticket gates. That means you can not eat here without either already being in the station for travel or buying a ticket to get in, which is what we did. We chose the cheapest fare which was 150 yen, not bad and worth it to eat at T’s because it’s also a cheap meal. Navigate to the Ueno Park subway exit using Google then enter the gates there to find it. The turnstile was angry at us when we tried to use the tickets to leave but we spoke briefly to the operator behind the glass and even though he spoke no English he knew exactly what was up when I said “ramen” and let us right through back outside after.

Food and Service:
T’s is fast food ramen so it’s pre-prepared broth and served very quickly, most likely in under 10 min even when busy. That also means you can’t modify your order so you can’t add garlic to a ramen without it, or make a spicy broth not spicy, for example. We confirmed with a quick google search that “suitable for oriental vegan” written on the menu means that they are made without the “5 pungent spices” which are garlic, onion, chives, shallot, and leek. However if you can’t live without those there is one ramen option on the menu, black sesame ramen, that is made with garlic et al, so that’s what I ordered. It was delicious! Caution, though, that this is a spicy dish. I can handle spice as long as it’s not too extreme and it was fine for me. It’s a spice that builds over time. My partner had the golden sesame ramen since he is a self-proclaimed Spice Wimp and we both thought it was plenty flavorful and delicious even without the “pungent” spices so we recommend both dishes! He also ordered a side of the vegan cheese because we were curious what it would be like and it was quite good if you like plant cheeses, I’d describe it as buttery. You can put it in your ramen and make it a bit melty if you’d like.

Fast and good

I ordered the black sesame ramen with a side of gyoza and rice. Gyoza are amazing! Must try! The black sesame ramen was also quite good. Kind of hard to find- located near the ueno park subway exit. However, it is labeled on the maps in the mall.

Pros: Friendly and fast

Cons: Hard to find

Delicious fast ramen

They have a small menu with about 4 different ramen, one of them cold with konjak noodles. You can add some extra small dishes like the genious vegan cheese! Or Gyoza, or soy meat with rice etc.
The ramen tastes really good and fills you up.
We paid about 2700 Yen for two ramen bowls with one addition each. Thats a fair price for the quality!

Definitely try if you are in Tokyo. There is not so much to find as I expected. Kyoto and Osaka offer more vegan restaurants/food.

Unfortunately, you can only reach it behind the JR Subway gates and therefore have to pay to get to the restaurant. But it is worth it!

Pros: All vegan, Clear menu and fast, friendly service, Taste and delicious

Cons: Not so easy to find within Ueno station, Behind JR Subway Gates = pay with Suica/passmo

Great ramen place.

We liked it. The restaurant is behind the JR fare gate, so if you are not already on JR, it will cost you to come in and dine.

Pros: Everything is vegan! And yummy!

Cons: The restaurant is behind the fare gate.

Gem in the subway station

The food is fantastic, several choices was difficult to decide what to eat.
To find wasn't easy as the GPS send me outside. You go as for the park exit but before you get out of the station (before the barrier) it on the left side.

Pros: Tasty food, Staff very friendly, Cosy place

Hope there are more T’s tantan in Japan!

Their great noodles saved us many times, when we are not able to find vegetarian food.

Oh so good!

Was a bit worried as I’ve never been a fan of Japanese food, even vegan version - always smelled too fishy for me - but had their signature tamtam and that was one of the best things I’ve ever had 👍

Pros: Great food, Central location , Filling

Ottima alternativa

Ottima alternativa vegana se si ha necessità di mangiare verdura cotta, non cotta dentro a brodo animale. La scelta non è così ampia ma va bene.

Pros: Gusto

Cons: Scelta

Excellent

The first night I had the golden sesame tan yan and omg it was so delightful!
The second night I had the cold black sesame tan tan and it was still tasty, but I enjoyed it less. I'm looking forward to try the Yuzu ramen next time!
I also enjoyed the small bowl of rice with soy protein, and the soy yoghurt with jam as a dessert. I enjoyed the gyoza a little bit less.
But overall an excellent vegan place and very reasonably priced.

Delicious cold spicy ramen

Quick service, great range of dishes. I had black sesame Tantan ramen with 6 pieces of vegetable gyoza and a lovely cold beer. Staff are allergy-aware.

Delicious ramen and super fast service

Came for dinner having seen the reviews on here. Had the white sesame ramen with gyoza and a beer. The man who served me was super lovely and was working super hard as the place was pretty busy. Would definitely visit again when I'm next in town

Top!

Zoals de andere dependances van T's tantan is deze ook zeer goed. Het eten is heerlijk en de mensen zijn aardig. Ik had niet door dat ik het verkeerde had gekregen dus toen ik al bijna halverwege was kwamen ze naar me toe om aan te bieden of ik het wou ruilen. Erg aardig, aangezien ik het zelf nog niet eens had opgemerkt.

Pros: Aardig personeel, Lekker eten

A vegan's paradise

Kurz gewartet und dann ging alles ganz flott. Es gibt eine kleine aber super feine und frische Auswahl an Ramen, Gyoza und Pflanzenschnitzel. Uns hats super geschmeckt!
Auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert wenn man im Ueno Park ist!

Pros: Frische, Schnelligkeit, Preis/Leistung top

The perfect ramen

After a long warm day exploring Ueno my first taste of T's Tantan quickly brought my mood up. The staff who served us was quick to tend to us and was very kind throughout. The cold special Ramen we got was the perfect treat and filled us even though we hadn't eaten in a while. I can't recommend T's Tantan enough if you want vegan ramen this is the place to go.

Pros: Amazing staff, Great food, very tasty, Great location

The place is kind of hard to find. It's on the 3rd floor ueno station, but the ramen are always delicious.

Hard to find but tasty

Took me some time to find it but was worth it!
I needed to enter through the station gates so that was confusing if I was going the right way
