Overrated - Edit
We came to this location after we read all the positive reviews so We connected the visit with our Stay in Tokyo. We really did look forward to Have this special experience everyone is talking about but me and my husband were dissapointed...My hubby tried the ramen which was bland. The Curry which I ordered was to spicy.

Lovin' every bit of the experience! - Edit
We had such a wonderful time. The food is super yummy with so much flavour and they are beautifully garnished . We were welcomed by super friendly stuff, cosy, warm and clean atmosphere too.
Read moreWe are family of one vegan and 5 non vegans and it is often a struggle to find a place that makes everyone super happy. Saido is definitely the place. They have dish to enjoy full potential of vegetables as well as interesting and well made mock meat dish. We ordered a lot of dish and everything was just devine. Price is also very reasonable considering the quality of the food and service.
Very happy customers here. Will definitely come back and recommend to anyone who is looking for a restaurant that is inclusive and enjoyable. Also the chef is a bit of eye candy😉

This cozy restaurant offers healthy but mouthwatering vegan food. I tried ramen this time. The broth, noodles, and veggies are all fantastic. The vegan egg tastes unique! Make sure to try it if you're nearby.

For 2,000 yen you can get a course lunch. I got a soup, a broccoli mouse salad, unagi set, and a cheesecake. (A drink is also included in the price). Go when you are really hungry 😂

One of the best vegetarian restaurant in Japan. - Edit
Perfect eel bento, a must try. Free kids ramen were served to our two boys. You should try their curry bento and oden as well.

Saido 🍜 - Edit
What a great vegan restaurant with extra friendly staff!
Read moreI ordered the Sai Mai Sen miso ramen with the faux egg and it was delicious AND beautiful! The faux egg was one of the better versions I’ve had. It was not mushy and was more gelatinous in texture and pleasant—the yellow part of the “egg” was very tasty too. You have a choice of six noodle types, I went with the ginger noodles and they were not overpowering.
I also had the lemon sake and it was very good!
I also let the staff talk me into their fancy cheesecake that comes in a planter, which was beautiful AND delicious. I definitely recommend this restaurant!

Delicious vegan meal 🌱 - Edit
We had a lovely evening at Saido tonight! The food was absolutely delicious. They have a great range of different appetisers and main meals, as well as some desserts. I felt like we were at a fine dining restaurant because of the high quality of the food, the presentation, the ambiance and the wonderful service. The staff were very friendly and spoke some English which was very helpful for us. I wish I didn’t live so far away because I was definitely come here regularly!!

A must visit - Edit
The atmosphere is calming and the food and service are great overall i didnt expect the food to be any different from all the other vegan dish i had but i take back my words the food is awesome and fully organic the soup opened my appetite and the salad was refreashing then comes the main dish which i was able to finish with a smile and happily dove right into desserts. Its a must try
