This is a very famous American chain of vegan burgers that started in NYC. Located in Shibuya near the Meiji-Jingu Harajuku station it is a small restaurant specializing in completely vegan "junk" food. They have three main burgers and daily special side dishes and sweets. The burgers are delicious and have a surprising amount of mayo, other sauces, lettuce and tomato. The side dishes are also good especially the red lentil and crispy brown rice. The lunch set consists of one burger, a side dish and 1 drink, sweets and salads are separate. Although they are 100% vegan it doesn't feel that you're compromising taste for health! and the side dishes are full of different tastes and flavor profiles. The ambience is very American with high-rise service counters and high seating chairs. It is located a floor below the main street and is accessible either by an extremely narrow and winding spiral staircase or a straight and wide stairway. Updates for new side-dish of the day can be found on their Instagram page. Definitely recommended for those looking to satisfy their (vegan)...
Read moreIf you like burgers, come here, simple as that. The burgers here are simply excellent, whether you’re comparing them to other vegan burgers or to meaty ones. The burger patty seems to be bean-based, which gives them plenty of flavour and makes a nice change from those which try to replicate the texture of meat too exactly. The vegan cheese seems like a proper slice of American cheese, doing just what you need. And of course the salad, pickles and all the rest are present and correct. It doesn’t feel unnecessarily gourmet, quite the opposite: it’s messy in the best way, satisfyingly filling, and simply a delight. Oh, and don’t ignore the gelato! The milky kinako flavour we tried was incredible: smooth, sweet and luxurious. If I had any criticism, it would be that the basketball-constructed seating isn’t amazingly comfortable (though not quite as bad as it looks) and there aren’t many tables inside so you may struggle to get a seat. These negatives are hugely outweighed by the positives though. If you’re looking for a burger in Tokyo, you...
Read moreIncredibly delicious. I have wanted to come here for over a year since I heard about their opening. Well covid happened and I couldn't come right away but it was worth the wait. The restaurant isn't easy to find, it's downstairs so you have to keep an eye out for the sign. We got the original burger and OMG it was beyond my expectations. I just wanted to inhale it right on the spot. There was so many flavors going on but they all complimented each other. I'm not a burger person, I rarely get them, even before I became vegan. But this burger just hit all the right notes and makes you want to keep taking bite after bite. We also got a side of the burnt broccoli and just like the burger it was amazing. So many flavors with every bite being a little different but all working harmoniously together. Again burgers aren't my thing but I am willing to travel all the way from Ayase into Tokyo just to eat here. It's a little expensive (¥800 for the burger and ¥800 for the broccoli) but it was...
