Pretty Good! Decent Price! Mind the Spice! - Edit
Came out here one night after a trip to Ikebukuro.
Read moreI forget the exact menu item I ordered, but it was some sort of spicy ramen bowl. It was a bit too spicy for my buds, though still comfortable to eat. Probably a bit below a CoCo Ichi level 3 curry.
The noodles had a pleasant chewiness to them, and I was able to order extra with my bowl for cheap. This made for a really robust and affordable bowl of ramen. You'll definitely be full for what you pay.
There was maybe a 15-20 minute wait at the time I went; which was just before they were set to stop taking orders.
Its hard to judge if Vegan Bistro Jangara lives up to the hype based on one bowl of spicy ramen, but I will definitely swing by this place next time im in Harajuku. The bowl I had showed a lot of potential and makes me excited for the other menu items!

Our favorite Restaurant during our time in Japan - Edit
We tried many different vegetarian and vegan restaurants in Japan and this was our favorite one. The food is great, the menu has a lot to offer, without being overloaded or being not authentical. The staff is friendly and professionell, waiting times due to high demand are a thing, but not too long.
Read moreThere was only one other restaurant in Japan, that served tastier dishes during our stay, but that one is in Kyoto and on the pricier side.

Great vegan ramen - Edit
Probably one of the better ramen in Tokyo.
Read moreLocated not far from the Harajuku station, this place is located on the 2nd floor.
They offer a full vegan menu with western and Japanese dishes.
I would recommend to try their ramens, but make sure to ask how spicy it is because some of them are really hot.
This place is very popular and there is usually people waiting in line.
Staff speaks a little English and are friendly but not the most efficient. Some are waiting for 20min while there were tables available.
Prices are mid range which is normal for Tokyo.
Not many tables inside so try to go early as possible.

Pros: Fully vegan, Friendly staff , Reasonably priced
Cons: You may have to wait awhile for a table, Location may be a bit confusing to find

Great food but long wait to be seated - Edit
We ate here two times, both times during the Aperó time. To our surprise, people queued in line, waiting to be seated for 20 minutes even though the restaurant was half empty (look at the photo, two free tables and 6 seats at the big table).
Read moreStaff seemed idle and not interested in people who were waiting, but after we were finally seated they were very polite and welcoming.
The food is really, really good. We tried different stuff and everything was very tasty, especially the ramen and buffalo “chicken”. We wanted to try the poutine, but unfortunately they were sold out so we opted for chilli fries on our second visit - they were made very well, but no sauce came with them.
We tried both cakes aswell and they were also tasty, and we recommend you to try their home crafted cola drink (do not expect classic cola taste though).
This would easily be 5 stars if not for the unnecessary wait while the restaurant is half empty.

Pros: All vegan and large menu, Great food
Cons: Unecessary wait, Pricey

Very busy but very good - Edit
They were were busy during a week, so there was about 30-40 min waiting time to get a seat. The juju grill was excellent and worth to try. The quesadillas were good, but the portion size for this price is not it…It was more like a snack, than a whole meal (at least for me)
Read moreOverall the atmosphere is really great, the organic craft cola is very unique.

Good, but worth it?? - Edit
The Food at vegan Bistro Jangara tastes really good and the place looks nice, but they have a lot to improve on everywhere else…
Read moreWe arrived at lunch to a restaurant hallway full, with everyone already dinning. Yet instead on leading the people in line to one of many empty seats, the staff Chose to stand idle by. This same behavior contuined once seated, as the staff seemed either oblivous to their guests or simply chose to ignore us.
The portion sizes were also all over the place. With things that costed the same, ending up in vastly different sizes, making it hard to order the right thing.
Really an dissapointment, cause the Food was actually really good!

I nearly died - Edit
I had the first Ramen-option on the menu-card, and it was reeaaally spicy. The dish did have a lot of taste, which was delicious, but the spiciness took the fun out of it. I sweated all the way through, and felt I nearly had to die during the meal.
Read moreStaff was also very ineffective, and we were 6 different people waiting to be seated, with 14 available chairs in the restaurant:p

Great vegan japanese food! - Edit
The place is small, so you might need to wait a little bit, but it will be totally worth it!
Read moreWe ordered the vegan Karabon ramen, the vegetable grill and the curry, all of them outstanding, although the curry is a bit spicy. You can order everything as an individual dish or as a menu, adding gyozas, salad or both. We chose both
The lemonades (berries and lemon-ginger were very tasty and refreshing, not too sweet).
The staff was nice and efficient.
You can also buy dry noodle boxes for you to take home.
We will definitely come back.

Delicious Ramen - Edit
The ramen were soo good! We got the mild Vegetable Soy Sauce Ramen and the Vegan Konbonshan with garlic. Both were very tasty. We would go back for more Ramen!
Read moreAlso had the quesadillas and French fries which were tasty as well, just the condiments weren’t as good in my opinion.
It’s located on the second floor of the building and is only accessible via elevator (and two steps before the elevator).
Menu is accessible via QR-Code.
They have around 20 seats. But it gets busy. Food came quickly.
Menu is different according to the time of day. Dinner is served from 6 p.m.

Delicious - Edit
We ate very well and the staff was really kind. We had Matsumoto Jun fans because the weather was very hot and while we were eating there were Arashi songs. This made us smile and will make us keep this restaurant in our hearts forever. I loved both dishes I tried but I recommend the curry! It's a little spicy but delicious!

Bestes Ramen in Tokyo - Edit
Sehr gutes ramen und sehr große Auswahl man kann sich drinnen setzen. Nicht wie beim vegan ramen uzu wo du draußen sitzen musst und die sonne auf dich knallt. Meine Empfehlung wenn man gutes veganes ramen in Tokyo essen will.

Spicy - Edit
I got the spicy ramen and “buffalo” wings. The “wings” were good and a surprise to see on the menu. The ramen stayed true to its name and was one of the spicer ramens I ate while in Japan.

Flavoursome ramen and gyoza - Edit
We were a bit afraid we would have to wait for a table as per previous reviews, but luckily at 6 PM on a Sunday it was not busy at all, just a couple of customers in addition to us. I got the vegan ramen with garlic oil and some gyoza, both were very flavoursome, altough maybe I’d preferred even more garlic oil on the ramen. Very friendly staff and fast service.

Pros: People who works here, Atmosphere nice and cosy, Price is just right
