Delicious, beautiful food

This tiny place (only about 5 seats inside) is definitely worth a visit. The food was not only delicious but beautifully plated!

Pros: Great food, Cute interior

Incredible food, great dining experience, owner/chef speaks English

We’re so happy we went to this all vegan restaurant owned and operated by one guy living his passion. The place is absolutely tiny so if you’re not okay with squeezing past people at the bar (the only seating) to leave or go to the “WC” then you can order take away.
The chef gave great recommendations and even though he was the only one working food came out quickly for us and for the people after us. Cool to see him working in his tiny kitchen so efficiently too.
The food was delicious. We got the beefy falafel bowl and the beefy cheesy bowl, both for dinner so as set meals that came with miso soup and a small plate of various pickles. We recommend going a similar order route we did where you get to try more than one thing (esp his “beefy” dishes) which we think are seitan in amazing sauce.
We also recommend the amazake (fermented rice milk mixed with soy milk) which is very sweet despite having no added sugar, all sweetness comes from the rice milk.
Very pleased to give this place 5 stars!

Heaven on earth

The ”beef” bowl is top 1, the falafel is super nice, and the guy running the place is the sweetest guy I’ve ever met! You can also spend a good while drinking here. Absolutely lovely.

The best in Tokyo

This is the coolest restaurant/bar in Tokyo. I had the thai curry and it was excellent. The place is super cool and the guy that works there is kind and friendly. What a surprise in a traditional neighborhood like Yanaka.

Highly recommended!

This tiny restaurant is a must when in Tokyo. It serves falafel integrated with japanese typical flavours (such as pickled vegetables). Everything tastes so good and the owner is such a nice person. We will come back for sure. The place is really tiny, best for two max fuor people.

Just awesome falafels!

New phone number as of July 2022: 070 1471 0315.

If you ever need to have some falafel, that's the place to go.

We ordered two falafel sandwich sets with a (good and fruity IPA) beer and a pineapple juice as drink, included in the set. Corn soup was nice, mainly due to corn freshness. Plates served falafel sandwich with a smooth hummus and nice tomato along a rich salad.

Definitely recommend. Owner is nice, atmosphere is cozy.

Cutest place ever!

This place literally has 6 seats, it's so cute.
The owner is the only person cooking and serving so if there are a few people, expect to wait a while.
The food was delicious, it's such a hidden little place that I never would have found it without Happy Cow. I hope more people can come and enjoy the food here. I had a falafel sandwich, I think the food options are more limited right now due to Covid.

Pros: Good food, Cute cafe/bar with a nice atmosphere, Friendly owner

Cons: Service can be a little slow, Limited food options due to Covid

Tasty falafel sandwich

It only does take out now (probably because of corona). We got the falafel sandwich and the curry plate. Tasty food and friendly owner. We had to eat the curry with hashi. Ask for a spoon !

Pros: All vegan, Tasty , Nice location
