Everytime

I stop in every time I'm in Tokyo. Got their seasonal special. I would eat every day if I lived in Tokyo. Shoyu flavored ramen set with rice and gyoza.

Pros: Flavorful

Tastiest ramen in Tokyo

We came here for lunch today. Note, you need to enter the JR train station. We waited outside as they organised a table for us. I loved it when they asked if I had any allergies, they yelled out the order. I ordered the golden sesame ramen with 3 gyoza. The gyoza was nicely cooked and I enjoyed the filling. But the ramen was on another level of delicious. The sesame gave it that extra bit of flavour adding to the already delicious broth. Good serving size, great price. My partner enjoyed the massaman curry.

Highly recommend.

Lovely cafe, good food

I picked the Japanese ramen, which didn't taste like other ramen I've had. There were chickpeas in it and the broth was a bit lemon-y. It was nice but not as good as other ramen I've had in Japan

Pros: Lovely staff, So much choice!

Cons: Average taste

Ganz toll

Toller Laden. Das Essen war sehr lecker das Personal freundlich. Die Auswahl ist auch ganz okay und man viel kombinieren.
Das Restaurant ist nur etwas schwer zu finden. Am einfachsten ist es, wenn man vom Nordwest Eingang aus dem Park kommend in den Bahnhof geht. Man muss durch die Ticket Station durch und dann ist es direkt neben dem Aufgang zu Gleis 8.

Pros: Lecker, Freundlich , Schnell

Cons: Hinter er Ticket Station , Etwas schwer zu finden

Great bowl of ramen - interesting flavours

I've been back three times: really high quality ramem that hits the spot. Great gyouza and char sui too.

Anywhere else in the world, I would have given 5 stars, but Tokyo just has such a high standard for vegan food!

Delicious Ramen

Very tasty sesame ramen with soy meat and different veggies. You can order gyozas as a side which are good but not extraordinary. The restaurant is fully vegan

Amaaaaaaazing

Located inside the Ueno train station. You have to purchase an entry pass into the train station (buy it from the same machines you would for a regular train ticket). This allows you into the area where all the shops and restaurants are.

I got a rice bowl with fake chicken, some gyozas and vegan cheese. My partner got a ramen bowl. Both were amazing. However, I gotta say that the rice bowl was surprisingly the star - the fake chicken and fake cheese combo was SOO good.

Pros: Fast, Good pricing, Absolutely delicious

Cons: Have to purchase eticket to get inside train stati, Small and crowded inside

really tasty vegan ramen spot inside of ueno station. sadly i am allergic to peanuts & almost all dishes are made with them. so i had to order the yuzu ramen - but my dissapointment vanished into thin air as soon as i tasted it. it was so good! service was amazing as well.

Pros: tasty ramen, quick service

Cons: most of the dishes made with peanuts

Restaurant introuvable

Que dire à part le fait qu’on a fait tout le tour de la gare pour ne RIEN trouver, aucune indication pour nous repérer, bref un cauchemar.

Long running yummy Ramen chain.

I have very fond memories of T's Tantan since I first visited the chain multiple times in 2015. I loved the Ramen so much! Unfortunately, some of the branches have been closed now, I especially mourn the one in Sendai. It is so much harder to find vegan food out there.

When I came back in 2023 the Ramen couldn't quite live up to my memories but I don't think it's the chains fault. I maybe hyped it up a little bit too much in my head 😅

The Ramen is super tasty, I usually go for one of the TanTan mens.
The gyoza are also really nice though.

I definitiv recommend coming by to visit this long standing vegan chain either here or in another branch.

The staff are also lovely and even managed to get us in when we were carrying quite a bit of luggage

Delicious ramen and gyoza in Ueno

Really decent sized portions and excellent food in Ueno station.

Perfect if you're caught out in Ueno with nowhere to go.

We didn't queue to get in but there was a queue to get in after we left

Don’t miss the bento

The tantanmen is really good, though I think Mensho in Shibuya is better. However, what really impressed me was the vegan take away lunch, which is made to order and is one of the only guaranteed vegan bentos you can get at either Ueno or Tokyo station.

Pros: Take away lunch is super tasty

Cons: Takes time to get the lunchbox (made to order)

You can buy amazing vegan bento boxes from Masumoto 升本 in Daimaru department store (B1 floor) which is connected to Tokyo Station. Also Ekibenya Matsuri (駅弁屋祭) Ekibeyya (駅弁屋) 1F in Tokyo Station :)

Tasty and many options

Many vegan options and all tasting amazing. The hardest part was trying to find it. It’s inside the station, so you need a platform ticket or IC card to access.

Bringing joy with every plate

After a long flight and a long hot day fighting our way through a very busy Tokyo, this place really restored my faith in people and this town! The staff cannot do enough for you and the food is top notch and came almost straightaway! There are large signs saying the food is certified vegan, plus our server asked about any allergies even before she took the order. On arrival you are given a large jug of iced water, a godsend. We had the T's set and Massaman curry. The set came with a very tasty ramen including sesame paste, peanut butter, beansprouts and bok choice as well as a plate of 12 very tasty gyoza which we shared. The waiter spotted we were sharing and brought two extra bowls and spoons without being asked. We plumped for the pistachio gelato for dessert, it was also brilliant! All I can say is please support this little gem - service with lots of smiles and oishi oishi food!

Pros: Everything!, Such friendly happy staff, Lightning fast service, no wait

The best vegan ramen

The place is a little hidden, inside a JR station at Ueno station. They offer a limited menu but everything was delicious. The waiters are super friendly and asks if you have any allergies. I would love to repeat.

Pros: Delicious ramen, Delicious gyozas

Black Sesame

I have been twice, once I got Golden Sesame (pretty good) and the second time I got the black sesame. I found the black sesame to be far superior. Not sure if it was a limited time item.

Follow station signs to level 3. Then use google maps to locate on foot. There is “VEGAN” in big green letters on the sign by the door so it’s hard to miss.

Pros: Fast, Fully vegan, Tates great

Cons: The seating is not optimal for groups, Difficult to find

Ramen with a lot of Greens

Tantanmen is the best choice here.
They have different colors of sesame to choose from.
All are creamy and delicious.

Perfect for quick and delicious meal

Good noodles and gyozas, loved the one with peanut cream. Perfect for a quick and healthy meal, located in a subway station.
