must go for vegan ramen - Edit
big portion size, fair price, completely vegan, good location (literally nothing negative to say)
Read moredon’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! - Edit
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.

Very good vegan bistro - Edit
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.
Read morePros: Great food, Menu with lots of options, Friendly staff
Cons: I could do without the French accordeon music

Friendly & tasty - Edit
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 - Edit
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.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! - Edit
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!!!

Could be Better - Edit
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.
Read moreMy 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.
