Good ramen - Edit
Order a Vegan Karabon Ramen which is a vegan rendition of the spicy tonkotsu ramen “Karabon” originally served at Kyushu Jangara. It is usually served in a pork broth so I was surprised to see a thick broth base ramen served in the restaurant. The ramen is overall delicious, noodles are just firm enough for my preference and the soup is good, just that it got alittle too spicy for me. Also ordered a grilled chashu, which tasted similar to most soy protein I have eaten. There was no wait time to be seated, food was served fast. Thank you!

Tasty treat - Edit
Great balanced salad with many vegetables and a few soy meat pieces. The Taiwanese vegan noodles were also great. Nice restaurant near Harajuku station. Definitely worth a visit.

Average, Wouldn’t Try it Again - Edit
So sad and disappointed considering all of the other reviews! My husband and I were both so excited to try this restaurant, however our experience was not great.
Read moreThe first night we tried to go, we travelled the half an hour there to find they were no longer taking more people in for the night. They close at 9pm, we arrived at about 7:45pm. Not a big deal, so we came back the following week.
On our return they were out of stock of 3 things we tried to order. Karaage, Buffalo Chicken and the Poutine Fries. Instead we ordered two of the Vegan Kobonshan Ramen, 6 Gyoza and French Fries.
The Gyoza were quite tasty, but nothing special. French Fries were what you would expect. My Vegan Kobonshan Ramen came out first. It was incredibly oily, the vegan protein had a strange smoky flavour and was oddly crunchy and I just didn’t love the broth.
I opted to give it to my husband because we realised at that point the 2nd ramen wasn’t coming out as there must have been a miscommunication between myself and the waiter. I’m not disappointed about this as I don’t speak their language so these things happen, but also I don’t know how we would have gotten through 2 of these ramens given it wasn’t very nice.
Overall I wouldn’t go back to see if it’s better a second time around. I’m jealous that everyone else’s experience was so positive however I just think there are better restaurants around Tokyo.
Pros: Location
Cons: Taste, Menu item availability

Delicious ramen - Edit
We had a spicy and non-spicy ramen, and both were delicious! Would definitely go here again if I were to be in the area. Very flavourful broth and noodles. Nicely decorated little restaurant opposite Harajuku station that also sells vegan cup ramen to take home.

Flavourful and thick ramen - Edit
Their vegan tonkotsu was really flavourful, and should be the stuff of legend. Gyoza side was also good.

Good ramen and soy meat - Edit
I usually prefer my ramen broth to be creamy which this ramen isn’t but I still enjoyed it. It’s thick and pretty spicy. The soy meat that comes with it was pretty tasty as well.

Best meal in Tokyo - Edit
Hands down, this was the best meal I had in Tokyo, and that sentiment was echoed by the three non-vegans I brought with me. It’s small, and we had to wait maybe 15 minutes for a table to open up, but the meal was absolutely delicious and I can’t wait to come back for more.

Good food, convenient location - Edit
We had the ramen, it was very tasty. If you can only go to one vegan ramen place in Tokyo, I thought Vegan Uzu Ramen (by TeamLab Planets) and Ts Tantan in Ueno station were a bit nicer but I would still say the food here was very good and it’s a perfect location if you are visiting Meiji Jingu or Harajuku.

Delicious Ramen - Edit
I had the vegan Karabon ramen which is described as a rich spicy tonkotsu, and it delivered on that promise. The broth was the perfect level of spicy for me and it had a good rich creamy texture. The seared soy meat on top was delicious, it had a good texture and had a good savoury taste. The other toppings were perfectly fine and added some different textures. There were plenty of noodles and they were tasty too.
Read moreMy partner had the vegan Kobonshan, this is a tonkotsu ramen fried with garlic oil. It had a great savoury broth and felt quite different from the other ramen we have had on this trip. She had similar things to say about the toppings, enjoying the flavour of the meat and the texture brought from the other toppings.
We also shared a plate of chicken kaarage, these were also delicious. They had a good meaty texture that was similar to a lot of the mock chicken we've had in Japan. They were elevated by a lovely garlic flavour running through them and the tartar sauce dip that came with them was the perfect accompaniment.
The drinks were fine, the cola tasted like a cola but nothing is as good as a coke. I had a goji berry and pomegranate soda which was nice but felt like a sweet fizzy pop without much to differentiate it.

Amazing ramen and excellent service - Edit
My family and I (party of 5) loved our experience here. The inside was decorated very nicely and the ambience was pleasant. The vegan pork was incredible and our favorite dish was the vegan karabon. Highly recommend stopping here for lunch while in Harajuku!

Best ramen in the city - Edit
If you’re searching for the best vegan ramen in the city, look no further. The broth is seasoned to perfection. The soy meat is the perfect hearty addition to bring the sensation of fullness. Not to be missed. Sorry the pic doesn’t do it justice… was too busy digging in!

One of the best food experiences I ever had - Edit
Absolutely perfect. Looking at the quality of the dishes here served - in Europe or the US, e.g., - you'd pay triple the price. The curry and the grilled 'meat' are heaven on earth. Thanks!

Vegan Ramen - Edit
This was a nice store in a very busy area. I was lucky to get a seat right away, but be aware that queues for mm quickly. Considering that fact, while the food is nice I don’t think it would have been worth a 30 minute wait.

OK for lunch - Edit
Called in for lunch and tried their ramen, which were OK but nothing special. They have a weird rule in here where you can only make one order per person, so you have to decide if you want dessert and order it when you order everything else, which I didn't really like and found a bit pointless.

Great ramen, but the burger was okay - Edit
We came to try some ramen and a burger. Don't go in expecting to have hefty-sized burgers like the US. It came with small potions of sauces (salsa, guacamole, etc.). The flavor was good, but the portion was small with a few fries. The price is rather high for the meal. I highly recommend trying the ramen here. It was definitely one of the best vegan ramens that I have.

Delicious Lunch - Edit
The service here was fast and everything was fantastic. Seating was limited so you might have to wait a bit, but the kitchen and staff moves quickly and keeps everything at a good pace, so I doubt you'll wait long!
Read moreThe ramen was some of the best ramen I had while in Tokyo and the grilled cheese curry was super good, too!
Watch out, the grilled cheese curry is a bit spicy. My daughter wasn't expecting that so I ended up eating more than I expected 😋

Good vegan variety - Edit
The service was very kind. They have a good variety of vegan dishes. The starters and the main dishes were excellent. The deserts were amazing too but could have been a little bit bigger. Nevertheless it was amazingly tasty!
