Amazing vegan Korean

Little vegan place in a basement bar serving vegan adaptations of Korean food. The waitress spoke English.

There is also a large selection of craft beer

Pros: Great service

The best vegan Korean food of my life…

I’ve had trouble finding good vegan Korean food back home, but this Tokyo treasure really hit the spot. It’s a basement space with a bar and some table seating, sort of like a speak easy. I tried the Bibimbap and the Sundubu Jjigae and my oh my, both were really delicious. Hands down some of the best Korean food I’ve had IMHO.

Pros: Really delicious food , Wonderful service

Cons: A little off the beaten path

Delicious Korean Food

Good Korean food. Only open for short hours on specific days. Please check ahead. The two women that run the restaraunt also speak decent English!

Real Korean food, vegan style!

Food is very cheap, tastes like real Korean food and is very delicious.
My sundebu jigae was a lil spicy, so felt really good after eating it. A proper cleanse it was!
Staff is nice, food is nice, prices are great.

Location is bad, the restaurant operates lunch only and in a basement bar, which is not appealing. Im sure if they ever wanted to expand their business, they would do great- food is amazing!

Cash only

Yachego is one of those owner operated lunch-only places that share a venue with another business. In this case they share a venue with a craft-beer bar.

We ordered three different dishes, soft tofu stew, bibimbap, and cabbage rolls. The tofu stew was tasty, however, the bibimbap and the cabbage-rice rolls were very plain and mostly just rice. There was not enough veggies.

There is a limited number of seats and the wait for food was rather long which was surprising given that for example the rice rolls were pre-made and just needed to be plated.

The place is cash only, there is an ATM in the 7-Eleven across the street though. You’ll need to withdraw a minimum of 10k jpy there.

My favourite place in Tokyo!

We’ve been twice on our trip to Tokyo and loved our meal both times. We’ve had the soft tofu stew and the bibimbap, as well as the sides (jeon and kimbap) everything is so tasty!

Pros: Tasty, Big portions , Nice space

Cons: Cash only , Only a few options per day

Amazing Korean food

Really incredibly tasty lunch offering from this place. Only just opened with 5 or 6 different dish options. I had one of the stews with a side of jijimi pancakes - really good but slightly less spicy than expected for Korean. No complaints though. The staff were lovely too. Set in a cute craft beer bar, downstairs.

If you want some real vegan korean food, look no further.

Its really hard to find Vegan Korean food here in Japan.
Being half Korean, Im also very picky with how they are prepared and above all, how it tastes.
Yachego, definitely hit the spot for me and i was more than happy with the outcome.
Although the DenJan Chige tasted a bit more like Chongukjang, none the less, to taste these foods - was a blessing. My Korean side recommends this place to anyone craving Korean food with a seal of approval. I think you will love it. We def need more places like this!!
