Drop by when take JR

I like variation. I've been in total 4 times. Three times in Ueno and once in Tokyo.
It would be better if each item is 200 yen cheaper.

It's alright for what it is

The allergen list was really helpful, and there were a variety of options. The ramen had a strong citrus / herbal quality, not exactly what I was looking for but it was alright.

Located within Ueno JR station

To access to this place, you need to tap in to the platform to access to Ecute Mall. Food is yummy and has quite a few options of ramen. Tried the black sesame tantan which is stated as “spicy” but it’s isn’t, at least for me 😂

Tasty Ramen

We came for an early lunch and got seated right away. Our baby got his own baby fork/spoon.
Never tried this location before. Service was friendly and quick! We got two different ramens, and both hit the spot. Gyoza was very good with a yummy sauce. Our baby was also very satisfied with the food and the friendly people.

Directions: it’s on the 3 floor within the train station near access to platform/gate 7 and 8.

Tasty stuf

Very good ramen and wonderful staff. A must if you're in the area.

You must go past the ticket barriers to find it - so we decided on a location to visit post-meal and just did it that way.

Delicious and fast!

Great ramen, friendly staff, and speedy service! Yes, tricky to find, but definitely worth it. My non-vegetarian partner also really enjoyed his ramen.

Oriental veg option available

They have 5 pungent roots free option (couple of ramen option)

The curry rice is quite nice (originally they put some fried onion on top, but you can request the staff to not put it)

Pros: The curry rice, Staff is very friendly and helpful

Cons: Nothing

Best we’ve had! Hard to find though

Just an overall great bowl of ramen. We’ve tried 5 other vegan ramens before this and it makes sense this place has so many great reviews. Delicious. 👌

Pros: Golden sesame, Gyoen

Cons: Hard to find. Very hard to find

Delicious Ramen

It’s not the easiest restaurant to find. Like a jewels you have to dig deep but it worth the effort.
Really tasty ramen and gyoza. With great flavors.

Super speedy ramen

Not the easiest place to find. Had to get help from the JR info desk.
We both ordered the golden sesame tantan noodles with a side of gyoza. The food arrived a few minutes after we ordered. The Gyoza and ramen were delicious and filling. Cannot fault the food or service. Would definitely eat here again.

I would come back

Great food. I was there twice since it was in the Ueno station so very convenient and opened longer than it is normal in Tokyo. I had gyozas and ramen. Nothing bad to say about them. Service is fast.

Good but not worth the hype

Our Ramen were nice but could have been more seasoned.
Staff was friendly. Unfortunately you have to order extra noodles at the beginning. In other Rastaurants you can order a refill, but not at T's Tantan. Gyoza were okay.

In my opinion this restaurant chain is overrated. I won't go there again as there are better ramen restaurants in Tokyo for the same price and with better taste.

Pros: Friendly service

Cons: Nothing outstanding

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
