Highly recommend it!

Great place! Inexpensive, tasty and friendly service. The place is located on the second floor, and wasn’t too busy when we visited.

Pros: Short but great menu, English friendly

Delicious, hearty food

Had one of the ramens but they also had gyoza on the menu (need to go back). The ramen was very good, rich and flavorful broth, good noodles, impressive soy meat, yum

must go for vegan ramen

big portion size, fair price, completely vegan, good location (literally nothing negative to say)

don’t be scared because you see so many people lining up outside! they are lining up for the restaurant on the ground floor (:

update i went again today and tried the soymeat and it was also really good! but compared to the portion size it’s rather small so if you are hungry go for ramen!!

Best ramen I’ve ever had level 2!

Wow just wow. Couldn’t go to Japan without trying some ramen. I ordered the vegan karabon and gyoza. The broth was rich with hints of sesame and roasted garlic. Prepared right next to me, you can see the kitchen staff put so much care into the process.

Pros: Delicious, Fairly priced, Authentic

2F!! Jangara

Just be sure to go to the SECOND floor Jangara, not the first floor Jangara whoch serves meat/egg/etc.

I ordered the Kobonshan ramen and a Mega highball - which sure is mega!!

Super close to Yoyogi Park and Harajuku station. I'll be coming back again to try something different.

Very good vegan bistro

It’s easy to miss this fairly new plant-based bistro near Yoyogipark, since it is located on the second floor and not very visible, but it’s a perfect place to have some fine ramen and just chill out after visiting the Meiji shrine or the many shops in Shibuya. Cool place.

Pros: Great food, Menu with lots of options, Friendly staff

Cons: I could do without the French accordeon music

Friendly & tasty

Vegan Bistro Jangara does just a few things and does them well. One of the most delicious ramen meals I’ve ever had. The gyoza were standard issue. Friendly service, with a bit of English spoken, and an English menu.

Yummy Ramen

My go-to place whenever I crave for spicy ramen. The ramen is really good. It has only one piece of soy meat, but the richness of dashi makes it up for its size. The service here is really good.

Super lecker

Das Restaurant ist sehr gut und hat viel Auswahl. Es ist nicht so leicht zu finden. Es ist nicht so einfach zu finden.
Links von Family mart ist ein Lift, damit muss man in den zweiten Stock fahren. Das gleiche Gebäude wie das mit dem Igelcafe.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

My meal was SO satisfying. The burger wasn’t a patty but rather the most delicious sweet sautéed meat in a bun. The ice cream wasn’t very sweet but still delicious, sooo creamy and presented in such a fancy way! This place was definitely nicer than I expected, and they do say they’re a bistro rather than a cafe. Go here!!!

Pros: GREAT options, DELICIOUS desserts , :-)

Loved this place

Very nice options, they have ramen, curry and grilled vegan meats, cakes, a soda float and various side dishes.
The ramen we had was quite spicy (the waiter told us before ordering), it was indeed quite hot but nevertheless very yummy. We also had Gyoza with chili oil sauce as side dish, totally recommend going there!

Pros: All vegan, Various options, Nice waiters

Tasty vegan burger

I ordered the soy burger which I believe is the only burger available (?) and it was delicious! However, the portion was pretty small.

Pros: 100% vegan, Tasty!

Cons: Expensive or should I say small portion?

Could be Better

Vegan Bistro Jangara is one of a handful of fully vegan restaurants in Harajuku. They are located on the second floor and require an elevator to access the space.

My friends and I met here for dinner and I found the food to be decent at best. We had their Soy Meat Skillet with Rice along with a side of Poutine and one of the desserts. The skillet smelled and tasted good. The poutine fries were thin with caramelized onion and vegan cheese topping over the chips. Both of these were fine but nothing special.

The dessert we got (a raspberry cheesecake) was extremely tiny and a bit underwhelming if I'm being honest. At ¥500, I was hoping for a little more substance. I would skip dessert here and go elsewhere or have a drink instead.

Service here was perplexing. I arrived late but my friends (who are both non-Asian) came in to try and make a reservation, but were denied. When I walked in, they didn't seem to have a problem seating me, but I saw there were a few tables with a 'reservation' label. Throughout the evening, we got some weird vibes from the server who seemed to look to me for orders even though my friends very well can speak Japanese. *shrugs*

I'm grateful for a dedicated vegan spot in Harajuku but it did not blow me away as I had hoped it would.

Excellent Ramen and Gyoza

Tried two ramen dishes, both excellent. Our daughter loved the quesadilla. Friendly, English speaking (enough anyway) staff.

Pros: Food is worth the trip. , Steps from the shrine. , Friendly staff.

Cons: Small seating area so may have to wait if busy, Second floor (but with elevator)
