Would recommend

No wait at 4pm, reasonable price friendly staff. Good ramen, especially the spicier black sesame. Beer was good. Great to have takeaway instant ramen. Can’t fault.

Fully vegan ramen restaurant

I love T's Tantan! The ramen is super yummy and very filling. On my first visit I tried the White Sesame Ramen and ordered it as a set with rice and a dessert. It tasted really good and came with lots of different toppings. On my second visit I had the Golden Sesame Ramen which was also very good. The staff is super friendly and helpful. The restaurant itself is not super big but there always seem to be enough free seats available.

In Ikebukuro you order from a vending machine which is super convenient. The name of the dishes are written in Japanese and English and there are many images and symbols which makes it easy to understand even if you don't know Japanese. To get to the restaurant, you need to enter the JR station.

Pros: Fully vegan, Friendly staff, Nice atmosphere

Love T‘s Tantan

I love this place because you can find it in several big cities and you can be sure that everything is vegan. Also it is never too crowded and service is fast. I have not had a food here I did not love. Sometimes they have other dishes than ramen which is great. I lived all the dishes I‘ve had here so far. Today it was Yuzu ramen in a set with strawberry and soy yoghurt, extra soy chicken and vegan cheese, and rice.

Pros: Delicious , Vegan-safe, Fast service

Great vegan ramen

Solid vegan ramen. There's better vegan ramen in Tokyo, but the location is good and the service is fast. Great place to grab a bowl of creamy tantan ramen when going through the station. Note that this location is smaller than the other T's and has fewer options, particularly for sides. Also; you can buy the brand's instant ramen here, but you'll find it cheaper elsewhere.

Pros: Quick service, Lots of food in set

Cons: Instant ramen cups is more expensive here

Super Awesome :0

My friend and I both got the golden sesame ramen set. I also got a side of cilantro, which went great with the rice dish in the set. The yogurt that came with the set was not for me, but aside from that everything was so colorful, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. Great option and such a convenient location since we were already on the Yamanote line and very hungry by the time we hit Ikebukuro😄

The best and so much flavour!!

The restaurant is inside Tokyo station (but they do have a branch in narita airport too).

Good prices for Tokyo. Fast service (even if we waited in line to enter).

Lovely and helpful staff.

They can offer spicy sauces if needed.

Seaweed ramen was nice but of course the broth had less flavour than the sesame one

I will really miss it

It’s difficult to think I won’t be able to have this ramen again after leaving Japan! It’s all I’ve ever dreamt of in terms of vegan ramen. It’s a must try, also incredibly cheap!

Pros: Tasty, Cheap, Quick

Hard to find, small inside

It's delicious T's Tantan ramen in a new station. But this location is inferior to the Tokyo location. You have to order through a screen that has limited English. You can only order one bowl of ramen at a time, so the group must each order separately. The number of your order then appears on a screen and you pick up your food. There is seating for maybe 12 people inside. You get your own water.

The trick to finding this place in Ikebukuro station is to enter the JR gates and pretend you have given up and are going to the T's at Tokyo station instead. Follow the signs to the Yamamote line heading to Tokyo station. Before you ascend to the platform, it's on the right. It's right across from Uniqlo.

Pros: delicious, cheap

Cons: machine style ordering, small, hard to sit together

Very tasty. Buy the cup noodles!

We stopped by at around 5 pm on a sunday and it was quite crowded. We waited 30 min but it was worth it (in general: 6-7/8 pm and 12pm are the worst times to go to a restaurant in japan) Also: they sell good vegan cup noodles in 3 varieties which you can take home and prepare with hot water, so you can eat it at most hotels (since the majority have kettles in the rooms) and of course airbnbs. I can highly recommend the cup noodles! You can also buy them at a natural lawson but they are quite rare, you will mostly find regular lawsons. We got tired of eating onigiri all the time (which is one the very few vegan options you have at a convenience store/konbini in japan besides chips) so the cup ramen were a live safer and we always bought them when eating at ts tan tan.

Pros: Tasty vegan ramen, Cup ramen to take to your hotel/airbnb

Very delicious!

Went here with my friends and we all very much liked it. The sets we ordered were fresh and delicious, the pudding and soymeat very good. The price was also alright for what we got. We'll probably come again after taking a train from here.😄

Pros: Delicious , Quick

Cons: Inside the payed zone of the station

Oriental Vegetarian (Allium-free)

You will need to tap into the JR Line in order to eat at T's Tantan. They have allium-free options also known as Oriental Vegetarian, prepare to google translate to communicate with staff. They have instant noodles for sale, which was a savior for our trip when we are hungry/couldn't find vegetarian food.

Des ramens direction la ligne JR

Restaurant de Ramen dans la gare d'Ikebukuro (il faut passer les portiques des lignes JR). J'ai mis beaucoup de temps à trouver, je ne m'attendais pas à devoir passer des portiques (et donc payer environ 100¥) pour atteindre l'entrée du restaurant.
Il faut choisir son plat et les accompagnements sur une borne à gauche de l'entrée et récupérer son ticket. Ensuite on va s'asseoir et on attend ! Il y a un écran et une voix (en japonais) qui indiquent quand la commande est prête. Au moment de récupérer la commande on peut se servir un verre d'eau et récupérer des serviettes, de l'huile pimentée, du sel etc.

J'ai choisi le ramen au sésame blanc (980¥ ~6€70 le 15/11/22). Ce n'est pas le meilleur ramen que j'ai mangé, mais il était tout de même bon et nourrissant. J'avais aussi pris un petit bol de riz simili carné, et c'était vraiment délicieux.
J'ai pris 4 cup ramen en "souvenir" que je n'ai pas encore goûtés. J'en ai eu pour 2200¥ au total, donc 15€50 environ !


UPDATE :
J'y suis retournée et j'y ai mangé cette fois-ci le Golden sesame Ramen que j'ai largement préféré au White !
Je regrette seulement qu'il soit difficile d'y manger entre amis à cause des vitres en plexi qui nous séparent et qui complexifient les conversations.

Updated from previous review on 2022-11-17

Pros: 1000¥ en moyenne le bol de ramen, Bonne quantité , Personnel agréable

Cons: Japonais uniquement sur la machine , Le personnel ne parle pas un mot d'anglais

Best vegan ramen

We loved their ramen so much that we went there twice during our stay. 2 kids, my husband and I ordered different ramen so we we could taste them all. My favorite was yuzu. But all others were delicious as well.

My first vegan ramen in Japan

Have checked IG posts before I visited Tokyo. I have seen this restaurant mentioned for so many times so I decided to go there.
*THE LOCATION IS SO HARD TO FIND! *
This is the only drawback of T’s TanTan. It is hidden in the JR station, so next time don’t hesitate, beep your Suica card and go inside 🤣

My friend and I tried the classic sesame ramen. He chose the normal version and I chose the golden one. It turned out no big difference. Next time I may take the black sesame one or the seasonal special that other reviews have mentioned.

Ramen is good. Creamy sesame flavor and with balance portion of other topping in that ramen.
Besides the ramen itself, the menu set also offer 叉燒飯(chashu rice, vegan meat with sauce on rice) and a cup of warabi mochi (kind of jelly) with brown sugarr syrup and soybean flour on top of it. It’s so nice! I am so in love with this dessert.

Pros: All vegan and taste is good, Menu dessert is nice, Good portion for girl

Cons: Location is bad

As all other T's locations, delicious food. This place has a ticket machine to order so it feels more like a traditional ramen shop.

Not fresh inside

The one in Ueno station was better. The ramen was good, although I oredered one with a weird thick sauce which was not my preference, but the inside was just not very fresh with a bit of a weird smell. You order from a machine. Maybe 5 options?

Pros: All vegan

Cons: Not a very fresh place

Very delicious Ramen

It is a little bit hidden in Tokyo station, follow the signs to Keyo line, on the left right before you go down the stairs. The food was served super quick, I had white sesame ramen & rice with vegan meat. Everything was absolutely delicious and I can 10/10 recommend, will definitely come back!

Alluring noods

English below👇 完全ヴィーガンのラーメンレストランです!
ポルチーニ茸の醤油ラーメンと炊き込みご飯のセットに加え、チャーシュー丼も頂きました。
ポルチーニ茸の歯応えと香ばしさが、ライムの効いた醤油ラーメンと絶妙にマッチして美味しかったです!チャーシュー丼もデザートの豆乳ヨーグルトも文句無しに美味しかったです!
是非また行きたいです!

It's a totally vegan ramen restaurant!
We had the porcini mushroom soy sauce ramen with takikomi rice as well as a bowl of chashu pork.
The chewy and savory taste of porcini mushrooms matched perfectly with the lime-infused soy sauce ramen! The chashu-don and the soymilk yogurt for dessert were both unquestionably delicious!
I would definitely go back!
