Favorite restaurant in Tokyo!

Had the vegan Kobonshan ramen: flavourful broth, great noodles and generally a very ‘layered’ meal! Will come back ✨

Edit: Came back mannny times (after trying all sorts of other vegan restaurants in Tokyo), mainly for the ramen, but the curry, karaage and buffalo chicken were also so good!

Best noodles in town

I tried this place after a week in Tokyo, and the ramen are the best I ate there. The flavor of the noodles was amazing, the spices were on point ! (You can chose "spicy or no spicy" ramen when you order)
Avoid coming during rush hour, as many restaurants in Tokyo, it can get really busy and you might have to wait some time before getting a seat.
You can also buy different flavor vegan instant noodle cup while you're there.

Pros: All vegan restaurant, Amazing ramen

Cons: Tiny place

It was okay

I really wanted to like this place because I like the menu, atmosphere and it was super busy with a wait. A lot of what we got fell flat flavor wise unfortunately but we did have some stand outs. Their cheese curry was very good and I would come back for this dish. Pomegranate soda and side salad were also yummy. Otherwise the ramen, grilled plate and gyoza were just okay.

Great ramen

This was our first meal on a three week visit and my partner (who is omnivorous) still ranks the ramen the top of our entire trip. Great gluten free options, the menu was super clear and the staff were helpful.

Great ramen

They had a good selection of food, especially different ramen. I had the vegan kobonshan. It was very tasty with a thick and salty broth; the vegan pork was particularly good. I also had the caramel nut mousse cake, which was tasty and sweet. Staff were great and it was relatively cheap.

Pros: Tasty food, Friendly staff, Relatively inexpensive

The food was good but I think could be healthier. It tasted quite salty. The food portions were a bit off so that wasn’t pleasant. The ramen was good not great

Armosphere**
It felt unclean and disjointed.

Service***
Very friendly service, nothing to complain about here.

Price$
Inexpensive and should

Pros: Tasty food but not healthy

Yummy

We got almost all the apps for the table to share and a few ramen mains. Everything was tasty, lighter than expected for the fried food. Staff was great just have to walk upstairs and you enter a whimsical vegan paradise with an amazing view

Good

Nice staff, good food. We came exhausted and hangry and were well fed :)
Had the ramen and gyoza&karaage to share with my not-hungry travel companion. The ramen was filling. The gyoza and karaage must have both been good because I didn't get any.

Pros: Location , Staff, Menu

Yummy Ramen

Watch out for the address when heading here. Google Maps led me astray, directing me to a street behind the restaurant in front of a construction site. If you encounter the same issue, take the parallel main road and use the elevator to reach the second floor. I tried their ramen, which was quite satisfying. It had a delicate yet flavorful broth, and the portion size was just right. However, the dessert was disappointingly small and left me craving more. Despite that, I’d still recommend this spot for anyone craving delicious ramen.

Delicious but so spicy 🌶️

We had the spicy ramen and usually I can handle the spice but this was next level. It was still so delicious! I thoroughly enjoyed it although I did have tears in my eyes.

I’d definitely go again but would probably get the soy sauce ramen to actually sit and enjoy it more.

Amazing space and it had heaps of options of food. Well worth it 😊 #Veganuary

If you like T’s Tan Tan you’ll love this

(The owner is related to the T’s Tan Tan vegan ramen shop owner but they are technically different companies despite the design being near identical!)

I got the Juju Grill with extra veggies and extra soy meat (200yen extra for each), you can even have extra rice for free! If you’re a big strapping lad i recommend it.

The quesadillas were amazing but too small, even with the gyoza sides I was still hungry.

So many good things on the menu, hard to believe it’s all vegan! I will be coming back multiple times!!be

Pros: Quesadillas , Veggie grill

Cons: Portion sizes

Yummy and many options!

Good variety of foods.
Although there isn’t really a concept.
Ramen, quesadilla, burger… 😅
Easy accessible and always easy to get a seat.

Super good

Food was amazing, restaurant was confusing to find, go up the stairs until there is a random door,open it and the restaurant appears, going up that stair almost feels like going up a private building #Veganuary

Ramen is nothing special

I dined here on the evening of January 17, 2024 with a friend that lives in Tokyo. I had the Kobonshan Ramen. The noodles didn't have the texture of a really good ramen and the broth was so salty that I didn't actually drink any of it. I just used it as a dipping sauce for my ramen noodles. When the ramen arrived at our table it wasn't really very hot, best lukewarm.

The staff is really friendly and helpful.

Don't confuse this upstairs restaurant with the very popular ramen restaurant downstairs. I'm told that they are both owned by the same company, except that the upstairs restaurant where I dined is fully vegan.

Pros: Friendly staff, Easy to read menu in Japanese and English

Cons: Too salty, Ramen not of a good texture, Ramen served lukewarm

Really solid

We went twice, and I'm only giving 4 stars because I didn't enjoy the second ramen all that much (tonkotsu-style).
Good (albeit somewhat hard to find) location near Meiji Jingu and Harajuku shopping district. Look for the signs to take the elevator (you can also take the stairs). Long lines out front were NOT for the vegan place. We only had to wait a minute or three each time to get seated, and the service was friendly. They sell vegan instant ramen as well, which was neat.

Cool vegan place in Tokyo

The venue is very nice and cozy. I had the vegan steak and also tried gyoza. The taste was good and prices ok. Definitely worth a stop when in Tokyo.

Okayish Ramen for a good price

Had the spicy ramen with a salad and gyosas. Everything was okay but nothing special. The price for the combo was good and I felt full afterwards. As others mentioned are the ramen just spicy and taste not much like anything else.

Solid ramen in a convenient location!

Visited multiple times, and enjoyed eating here each time! The ramen, although not the best I've had, is tasty and well portioned.

As other users have mentioned, it can be a little difficult to find at first, as it's on the second floor (and the entrance is often hidden by a long line for the establishment below).

They also sell vegan cup noodles in store, which are a great as a backup plan.

There isn't a ton of seating, and it seems to be quite popular, so I recommend visiting off peak if you can!

A vegan oasis

Don’t confuse this place with the omni restaurant downstairs that has vegan options. This place is fully vegan and has excellent, fully flavoured, rich ramen. Also has great gyozas.

Pros: Fully vegan, Japanese and Taiwanese style ramen, Delicate and crisp gyozas
