Service au top

Très bon plats de nouilles froides et pst teriyaki. Serveuse au petit soin qui nous aidait en alternant japonais et anglais. Une adresse pleine de belles surprises.

Elite as always

Look, say what you will about the prices, I think this place is always elite. Yes it's on the pricier end, but the quality is always great. On the grand scheme of things, it's not even that expensive for Japan. Ok, with that out of the way, onto the foodz and atmos.

🥟🍜 FOOD
~~ Genovese Pasta ~~
Very well balanced flavour, and loved the inclusion of lots of veggies (zucchini, mushroom, beans). I was skeptical about the pasta tbh when I saw that it was a rice-based, but it was great in terms of texture (flavour-wise hard to tell because the sauce is the main thing you taste). The salad on the side was also really nice, had a very crisp and refreshing dressing. Would recommend.

~~ Cheeseburger set ~~
Just generally a decent burger and chips set. Not the most "meaty" or smokey of flavours, but a good well balanced combination. You know how sometimes you eat a burger and chips and you think "this is tasty af, and so indulgent, but whatevs" - this isn't that. I actually think portion size was perfect with the chips, despite usually eating burgers on the larger side.

~~ Chicken nuggets ~~
Delicious and crispy, with a nice tangy sauce to accompany it. For the price I would probably split it if you're eating with someone else, especially because generally their portion sizes for mains are decent.

🕯️🍷 ATMOSPHERE/VIBE
Very nice and calm. The kind of place that you go to to just take a break from the fast-paced Tokyo experience (as I did on this trip), or if you're with someone else, the kind of place where you can actually engage in your conversation with them. Kind of rustic / provincial theme they're going with.

Pros: Great atmosphere, really nice for dates or just

Wow, thank you for such a thoughtful and detailed review! We're especially happy you enjoyed the gluten-free rice pasta and found a calm moment here away from the Tokyo rush — that's exactly the experience we hope to create. Please come back anytime!

Mixed feelings

Found this place a little unusual, the prices are quite high for Tokyo standard, and the foot selection feels a bit odd. Quite a small menu and a slightly strange mix of Japanese and Western options. The food we had was mostly good, but nothing amazing. Service was friendly and helpful, but vibe was a bit off as the restaurant itself seems physically worn down/scruffy. Wouldn’t refuse to come back as I think other food may be better, just not the best experience this time.

Great food but a little expensive

The food was great, tasty and came out quickly. The menu was extensive and had a good variety of foods (Japanese, pastas, burgers) but it felt a little rushed and was a bit on the expensive side compared to other places we’ve tried in Tokyo for similar food. Loved that it was a fully vegan restaurant though!

Myammy food

I have been to this particular restaurant twice and both times the food was delicious. The burger as well as the rice dishes and the desserts are presented in an appetizing way and taste as much.

The menu is in English and the staff is very friendly.

Pros: Food is tasty, Staff is friendly and helpful, Easy to find next to the metro station

Cons: Some might not like the interior design

Yummy & Thoughtful

The pancakes were so yummy. The bread and its texture were perfect; soft on the inside and a light sweet crunch on the outside. The central and whip cream pair so well to give you that creaminess as it melts. The assortment of fruits were greatly appreciated. Definitely will eat again.

You get a bit less what you pay for

I think it is okay. Not amazing, not bad. The staff was nice, but the ambience in the restaurant is not the best (especially if you compare it to the Kyoto location). The food a bit boring and a bit too pricey.
Good option if you have nothing else around and are really hungry

Great food, options and service

Has to be close to the best food we've had in Japan so far. Great options as everything on the menu is vegan. Japanese, Western, italian, mediterranean, something for everyone. Great selection of desserts too. They also gave us a book a 2026 Tokyo Vegetarian and Vegan restaurant guide. Super handy to go alongside the app

Pros: Delicious food, Good options, Service

Enttäuscht

Ich freute mich auf ein tolles Mittagessen, was ich dann dort aß traf gar nicht meinen Geschmack. Der Burger war ok, sehr fades Patty und die Pommes waren labbrig mit Faden Soßen. Der Schokoladen Kuchen war ok. Für den Preis war es, für mich , kein gelungenes Mittagessen.

AIN SOPH. Journey SHINJUKU is a vegan paradise!

I had the Matcha soy latte, vegan chicken teriyaki, a delicious vegan cutlet, and finished with their Heavenly Pancakes. Every dish was full of flavor, beautifully presented, and truly satisfying. The pancakes live up to their name—fluffy, sweet, and unforgettable. Highly recommend this spot for anyone wanting amazing plant-based food in Tokyo!

Good vegan food

Very different to the AIN Soph I visited in central Tokyo last year. Where as that was very much vegan Japanese this was ‘world cuisine’. Good food, great for my wife, but I was a little disappointed to have so few Japanese options

Sweet dishes < 3

Hamburgers in Japan just feels wrong, but now it became so because we were very hungry. The smaller meals looked very good. We saw people eating puddle, waffles, ice cream, yes everything looked good. Even the burger was good, but still did not feel quite right, if I would recommend someone to go here, it is enough for the sweet dishes

Burger and bolognase

Our second visit to an ain soph and we loved it

My wife had a large spaghetti bolognaise and I had the ripple burger.

Both were delicious, the burger was epically messy to eat and delicious.
We both left absolutely stuffed
