Ramen & Rice Joint

This spot should be called the Ramen & Rice Joint. Nestled in Tokyo Station the family and I raced up the steps in pursuit of this highly praised noodle spot. Since food was scarce at Tokyo Disney we destroyed our noodle bowls and brown rice curries. The spices and flavors awoke the taste buds and left us fully satiated. For this reason each table is provided a tall jug of ice water. We basically went with Bok Choy noodle bowls devoid of the fake/fried soy meats which are not healthful. The cheapest dish is 750yen which makes this spot an excellent value when a quick noodle dish is needed on the go. Fyi, they don't serve salads as the description stated.

Pros: excellent flavors, quick and easy , good pricing

Cons: too many fake, fried meats

Nice vegan surprise in Tokyo Station...

It was a bit hard for me to find this place in Tokyo station. My GPS went all over the place but eventually my dinner companion found me and took me to Keiyo Street. There was a queue at the door and we waited about ten minutes to be seated on a Sunday night around 8pm. I was given an English menu (without asking). The menu consists of a number of ramen options, each ¥900. They'd run out of my first choice so I chose the Midori Tantan which was just a bit spicy, with noodles, pak choi, pumpkin seeds and soy mince. Not too bad, and I ordered the combo deal for around ¥1200 and got a small bowl of curry and rice as well. Jugs of iced water on the tables were welcome. Good for a quick meal if you can find it and they serve beer but not dessert.

Pros: Reasonably priced, tasty vegan ramen

Cons: A bit of a wait for a table

Cheap and cheerful vegan ramen

This is well located and has good opening hours. The vegan ramen is very tasty and filling and starts at 750 yen which is very reasonable. Best defined as a truly Japanese 'fast food' vegan place.

Eat here or you'll be sorry.

This food is so f******* good. Best meal I've had in Japan so far.
I've been here two months and have eaten a lot of food.
This place is hands down the best.

Thank god for Tan Tan!!! :-)

I adore T's TanTan...it really is a go-to place for me when in Tokyo, as it's a no brainer vegan place that I know of and can easily find - super convenient! I lost count of the number of times I ate there during my last trip to Tokyo (maybe 3-5 times a week)and I think I've tried everything on the menu. So nice to be able to finally eat vegan ramen and not have to worry about any animal products being used. I love the miso ramen, shoyu ramen and the tan tan men (it has little to no liquid in it).... as well as the smile curry and aubergine side dish. It's very reasonably priced for Tokyo and if you order a set, you will be stuffed! It's like eating 2 meals for me. When I'm not in Japan, I really crave vegan ramen from Tan Tan and you can bet it'll be the first place I eat at when I get back to Tokyo! :-)

an absolute MUST for authentic vegan japanese

located right in japan central train station, which is a MUST GO for all vegans. it's located on keio street and tucked away in a corner so a little tough to find but once you know where it is, it's easy.

the sweet and sour soy meat was brilliant and caused a long running argument on what was better, this or the soy meat at ain soph journey, between me and my boyfriend that is still debated 6 months later

as for the mains, it was so great to have authentic vegan ramen as a lot of the best vegan food in japan seems to be western food! we went about 4 times on our trip and tried most of the options which were all great in different ways.

they also sold the packets of dried soy meat to take home, so we bought some to try and recreate the experience when we returned to england.

Pros: great location, authentic japanese food, affordable

Cons: past the barriers on the platform

Superb

Absolutely superb ramen with their signature peanut based soup is delightful. The side dish I had was fried soy chicken which had a fantastic sauce. Large queue outside reflects the popularity of the place, and rightfully so.

great place

This was our favorite place in Tokyo. We loved the miso ramen, and the sweet and sour chicken. We ate here twice, and there was a queue both times. They are incredibly efficient. Water picture left at your table, check left with your order. Great location in Tokyo station.

Pros: great ramen, unique, fast service

Life-saving Vegan Ramen!

T's Tan Tan is a lifesaver when you've just arrived in Tokyo, tired, confused & hungry! It's located inside Tokyo Central train station, in a shopping/food arcade called Keiyo Street, so it's easy to find before you get acclimated and get your bearings. You do have to buy a platform ticket (140 yen) if you don't have a train ticket or rail pass, but as the food itself is inexpensive, it doesn't matter much. T's is a vegan ramen restaurant, with about about 6 different ramen options plus 2 curry plates. You can also get a dinner set, where you chose a ramen and small side bowl of rice with curry or soy meat. But I have to say, despite the small menu, I never get tired of eating here (once a week now!) The service is super-fast, the price is right (about 1200 yen for ramen and side), and the food is always delicious. I've tried everything on the menu, but my favourite is the miso ramen with a side dish of soy meat. Yummy, never disappoints!

Pros: Delicious!, Inexpensive, Quick

Tastes like real ramen

I made a special trip to Tokyo station just to get vegan ramen, and it was worth it. I had the miso ramen, and while not the best ramen in the world, it was really good, it tasted just like I remembered ramen should taste. I also had a side of smile curry, which I found disappointing, and did not taste the way I remembered a Japanese curry should taste.

The next day, I dragged my friends back for another round, because I'd spent my whole Japanese trip craving good Ramen, and I wasn't going to leave without having another bowl. This time I had the shoyu (soy sauce) ramen, with a side of the eggplant dish. I think the miso was better, but both were very good. My friends enjoyed theirs also. This time we had spent the day in Akihabara. We bought tickets from Akihabara to the station near our hotel, but then got on a train going in the other direction to Tokyo instead (only 2 stops), had our meal, and then caught the train back to our hotel. Because the restaurant is inside the station gates, we didn't need to validate our tickets at Tokyo station, and so our little detour didn't cost us anything extra.

Both times, we had to queue for a bit before getting a table, but the wait wasn't too bad.

Pros: English menu available

Cons: A little bit expensive, Had to queue for a table

not that hard to find

It's not that hard to find if you know your way around in Tokyo a little. As stated in other reviews it's on Keiyo street you can easily locate on the station maps everywhere. To avoid confusion: there are 3 different train companies' ticket barriers and it is NOT within the Tokyo Metro-premises.
The ramen was delicious and the portions were unusually large for Japan. We ordered the menu and were totally stuffed afterwards. I had the "spicy" ramen and it was actually really hot.
We've been to Tokyo many times and now regret that we went there the first time just now. We'll definitely back!
Highly recommended.

Plus for tourists: English menu and English speaking staff.

Pros: huge portions, convenient location, english menu

Really Convenient Location

The best thing is the location, if you're going anywhere which stops at Tokyo station on the way, you can get off, eat at T's Tantan without leaving the station, and then get back on the train to continue your journey. I go here often because of that! Its at the very end of "Keiyou street" right near an entrance to the Keiyou line.

The ramen is healthy and delicious without using MSG. My favourites are probably the Miso ramen and Midori ramen. As for sides I love the new salad parfait they added recently, it has a lovely dressing and feels healthy. But they do a fried soy meat side which seems very popular (I'm not that keen on fake meats but the sweet and sour flavour was nice)

Afterwards you can be less healthy and go across the 'road' to the donut place on the corner which does a soy cream filled donut, and plain donut!

Pros: Location, Healthy, Delicious

Cons: Busy At Certain Times

ramen and soy meat are great

We went here a few times in Tokyo. All meals were good except the curry. Curry tasted like the foil packet curry from Lamyong in Australia: just bland. Everything else was delicious. Well worth a stop when you are passing by on the subway.

Great ramen!

This ramen place is a bit hard to find, and not possible to reach without a ticket I think. But if you are in the station, you should DEFINITELY go here! As a vegan in Tokyo it is hard to find veggie ramen, so eating here was like heaven to me!

Pros: Awesome food, Big portion, Relatively cheap

There ought to be one of these in every station!

worldwide! loved it. delicious, spicy ramen; sweet sour soy meat and rice. even accompanying carnivore was impressed. very diverse crowd eating, from schoolgirls to lolitas to salarymen to rather grand kimono clad ladies. well worth the price of the platform ticket. other people below have written better directions than I could to get to the right place in Tokyo station (which is like a maze).

Pros: delicious, great value, easy menu

Best vegetarian ramen in Tokyo

We liked it so much we went back again for breakfast. We bought their ready-made curry pack to cook at home too but the taste wasn't anything to write home about. Stick to the ramen.

A must visit

This is a must visit for anyone (vegetarian or not) who is in Tokyo! its actually not difficult to find once you're in the Tokyo subway station- all you need to do is follow the "Keiyo Line" until you reach "Keiyo Street" which is inside the station. The food is very delicious and the serving portion is huge, the taste is quite distinctive and unique. My husband who is a non-vegetarian didn't mind returning to this restaurant as it was truly excellent. not a good option for breakfast (unless you can eat noodle soup/ramen for breakfast), but great for lunch or dinner. their T's Tan Tan noodle soup/ramen is the most popular choice from the menu.

Pros: Central location- Tokyo subway, Quick service, Lovely ambiance and staff

Cons: Can be crowded in peak hours

Quite amazing vegan ramen!!

It took us over 1/2 and hour to locate this restaurant in the bowels of Tokyo Station. My non-vegan husband was losing his patience but we persevered and once the food was served, my husband declared that the effort was worth it. Just great vegan ramen. Where else can you find such a thing. The curry is good too. There are lunch sets so you can get a variety of things on one tray. It is very reasonable and the service is great.
The 2nd time we went was by accident since we ran into Keiyo street where it is located, just as we emerged from the bullet train.
Once you get to Keiyo street there is an information booth where a young woman in a uniform who speaks English can direct you to the restaurant.

Pros: Great food/all vegan, good service, reasonable price

Cons: hard to find, only if you are traveling by the station

Excellent, tasty and quick food

Fantastic ramen in Tokyo Station. The broth is delicious, the noodles a very generous serve and the curry fantastic. The set meals are excellent value for a huge amount of food. Love that they have space to leave parcels and luggage too, which is very handy if you're on the go from A to B. Just wonderful, one of my favourite places to eat in Tokyo.

Pros: Delicious!, Convenient location, Very friendly

Cons: Can be very busy at times

Great vegan ramen

It's hard to find vegan ramen or Japanese-style curry in Tokyo, because of the animal crap they put in the broths/sauces. If you're craving either of those, T's Tan Tan hits the spot. The ramen is delicious -- I especially like the spicier ones, not the clear broth.

Be sure to get there by 10pm as they won't serve you much after that. But they're conveniently located right at Tokyo station, and open later than most vegan spots in Tokyo, so a great option all day long.

Pros: excellent vegan ramen, not too expensive

Cons: not completely healthy, can be hard to find
