Jangara x2

Just above the kyushuu jangara where I ate years ago that had vegan ramen option, now their sister branch upstairs is full vegan. More options but I had to try the ramen which was thick, flavoursome and creamy.
If you order extra noodles like I did, ration your soup!
A great choice!

Another branch in akihabara that I'll be trying next.

Pros: Ramen, Sides, Sells vegan cup ramen too

Good variety

Location is a little hard to find as it’s on the second floor, you need to take the elevator! I ordered the soy meat and it was pretty good. The menu has a pretty big variety of foods, including quesadillas and ramen. Price is a little high but the window has a nice view of Harajuku, which is pretty cool.

Good vegan food in Shibuya

The restaurant is on the 2nd floor. They have good vegan food! But I recommend you get something other then the quesadilla, as the portion is very small and you will likely not be full. Overall, a nice place!

Pros: Restaurant, Taste

Cons: Quesadilla was small

Expensive restaurant of an actually good chain

We went to this restaurant, which has a completely vegan menu, because of the good reviews. The atmosphere was pleasant and when we were there in the late afternoon, we were seated straight away. The food was generally delicious, but the portions were very small. The prices are too expensive for that. They also charge a seating charge. We haven't had that happen in any other restaurant during our trip. It seems a bit like they want to charge vegan Westerners extra. Right next door is the 'normal' ramen shop of this chain, where you can eat much cheaper. So if you like ramen, I would recommend the alternative (they also have vegan ramen).

Pros: Tasty food

Cons: Seating charge , Quite pricey

Variety of Vegan Options

A nice place with a variety of Vegan options instead of the typical small menu covering a couple of different cuisines. Enjoyed everything we ate.

They don’t seem to take reservations, so you just have to show up and wait (took about 15 minutes for us at 8pm). Only negative was staff seemed a bit unhappy to serve which was very unlike Japan but not going to let that take away from otherwise good food.

Pros: Taste, Options

Cons: Staff attitude

Best Vegan Ramen In Tokyo

As the title says, this in our opinion was the the best vegan ramen in Tokyo. Easy to find, easy to get to and had a great little vegan menu. The staff were all lovely and super attentive.

Highly recommend trying both the ramens as they both offer something different.

Pros: Location , Menu, Food

Best Ramen in Tokyo

In my opinion they have the best ramen in Tokyo. Great location a 1-2 minute walk from Meiji Jingu station. Almost always full so you know it’s good and prices are reasonable not too expensive especially for a fully vegan restaurant.

Pros: Tasty , Great location , Fast Service

Cons: Relatively expensive , Service could be better

That meat

The meat in the ramen and the sizzling dish was divine! That alone is worth going for. Place is small, but situated perfectly for a quick and yet authentic bite inbetween harajuku stops.

Best vegan place in Tokyo

After having tried many other vegan places in Tokyo featured on Happy Cow i have finally come to Jangara. And it was a hit. Spicy ramen was very good and both cakes (strawberry and calamel) were great as well. Last but not least i recommend also ogranic cola. To sum up it was best vegan bistro i have been known in Tokyo.

Pros: Spicy ramen, Organic cola, Caramel cake

Very good ramen and goyza

The broth is really flavorful. Great soy meat and garlicky flavor!

Found it to have too much ramen compared to broth ratio.

Goyza was super tasty as well. Highly recommend!

Pros: Ramen broth , Gyoza

Cons: Too much ramen

🌟Top Notch Ramen 👌🏼

I think this has got to be one of our favourite restaurants of all time. Jangara is a very famous Japanese restaurant with a few vegan options. Having found a full vegan jangara, it’s a dream! The full menu looks amazing, we ordered 3 different mains with 2 sides. The hot plate soy meat with veg and the ramen filled with very rich soup was absolutely gorgeous. If you are in Tokyo, you have to visit!

The only thing is, you cannot book a seat so we waited for about 40min, however, it’s 100% worth it.

Pros: Delicious food, Lovely Staff, Many Options

Cons: No reservations , Long wait (but worth it!)

Great ramen at a small, but highly efficient restaurant

This was our first restaurant experience on our visit to Tokyo. We discovered that restaurants are generally difficult to find, tiny, have lines waiting. On the upside, the food is usually exceptional, worth the wait, and the service is friendly and super efficient.

It took us a bit of looking to find this place as there was another restaurant's line that obscured the elevator to the higher floors. When we did get up the elevator, there was a line of maybe 8 people ahead of us, all seated between the elevator and dining area. On the wall across from the waiting area was a QR code that brought up a menu. As parties approached the end of their wait, they were asked what they'd like to order so when they were seated, the wait was much shorter.

Our party of three was seated at the large table that had several dividers/partitions which allowed for several configurations for smaller parties. As mentioned above, we ordered before we were seated and our food arrived shortly after we were seated. The ramen I ordered was delicious and I could taste the garlic in the oil that was used. It was a good-sized portion and the broth was mild enough that I could finish it all. I've found that sometime the broth can be too rich or salty and without noodles, it can't be consumed alone. This was not the case here, which I truly enjoyed. I definitely recommend this place, but be prepared to wait.

Delicious, memorable meal

Really loved this spot, one of the best ramens I’ve had full of flavour and the cheese curry was to die for. Would go back here!

Lecker!

Toll, dass alles vegan ist! Es hatte einige Zeit gedauert, bis das Essen kam, obwohl es noch einige freie Plätze gab.
Ich habe mir den Burger mit Pommes bestellt. Der Geschmack der Saucen war super. Die Fleischalternative etwas zu ungewürzt. Mengenmäßig hätte ich mir definitiv mehr gewünscht! Das sagte auch mein Partner, der sich Ramen bestellte und diese lecker fand. Wenn wir wieder in der Nähe sein sollten, gehen wir aber gerne noch einmal dorthin.

Pros: Alles vegan, Geschmack

Cons: Wartezeit, Geringe Menge

Fantastic Japanese Vegan Spot

Excellent Ramen and noodles. Ask for extra soy meat if you want more than 1/2 pieces. Also does vegan curry, quesadillas, burger. But Ramen has to be its expertise. Gyozas also excellent.

Pros: Ramen excellent , Gyoza excellent, Made fresh

Great food

Normally we would have gone to the ramen place downstairs but the line was too long so we went to the bistro.
We got the spicy ramen and the mentaiko rice which were both great!! I would like to try their grilled soy meat or burger next time. 100% recommend.

Pros: Tasty food, Fair price
