Harvest LUMINE Ikebukuro — Restaurant in Tokyo

Great vegetable-based buffet in Ikebukuro. I absolutely loved it here. There are so many vegetarian options that all my veggies cravings have been satisfied, I literally tried almost every vegetable option their menu could offer and also every dessert I could find. I think the savoury options are way better than the desserts tho: the only desserts I actually really appreciated were the chocolate crumble and the pumpkin cheesecake. The buffet restaurant leans on the expensive side (2500y/p), which is actually a pity because I'd come here every week if the price was a little bit...

야채를 중심으로 한 뷔페라는 콘셉트이지만, 실제로 이용해보면 선택할 수 있는 음식의 종류가 생각보다 제한적이고, 맛도 가격 대비 특별히 뛰어나다는 인상은 받지 못했습니다.

다만 매장이 넓고 회전율이 좋아 대기 시간 없이 바로 이용할 수 있다는 점, 그리고 역과 가까운 접근성 덕분에 메뉴를 고민하기 번거로울 때 가볍게 들르기 좋은 곳이긴 합니다. 실제로 그런 이유로 몇 차례 반복 방문했지만, 방문할수록 음식의 퀄리티가 점점 떨어지는 반면 가격은 오르고 있어 아쉬움이 남습니다.

아직까지는 허용 가능한 수준이라 이용하고는 있지만, 지금과 같은 추세가 이어진다면 앞으로는 이용 빈도가 점점 줄어들 것 같다는 생각도 듭니다.

This buffet is marketed as being centered around vegetables, but in reality, the variety of dishes is quite limited, and the taste doesn't quite live up to the price.

That said, the restaurant is spacious and has a high turnover rate, so there’s usually no need to wait long to be seated. Its convenient location near the station also makes it a handy option when you don’t want to think too much about what to eat. For those reasons, I’ve visited several times.

However, I’ve noticed that the quality of the food has gradually declined with each visit, while the price continues to rise — which is disappointing. It’s still within an acceptable range for now, but if things continue in this direction, I may find myself visiting less often in the...

This is like, not exaggeration but one of the best buffet restaurants in the whole of asia lol. The food quality is top notch. Lots of creative choices, such as the fried kubou. My personal favourites are the dessert, especially the mochi with matcha powder & the SOY whipped cream on cakes. Hard to find any vegan whipped cream in other places so this is a...
