Saido

Excellent. Got the set dinner meal that came with sake, appetizers, salads, main, rice, soups, and dessert. Great service. Presentation, texture and flavor were all superb. A bit expensive for Japan, but worth it. Needs reservation.

Amazing experience and food. The lunch set was very tasty, super filling too! A special experience!

Chef Katsumi works purely for art and it shows splendidly in his meals. Had one of the best vegan meals of my life here. Extremely well executed with wholesome tastes from plant based ingredients. Not to be missed!

Excellent vegan food. In a country, where it's almost impossible to find vegetarian food, it's amazing that a vegan restaurant even exists. This place really lives up to the hype. I had to book it one month in advance to secure a spot for lunch. The lunch course consists of 4 dishes and 2 drinks. It started off with mushroom soup which was a good start to the course. Then, they served the signature smoked salad. This was really interesting to me and you could really tasted the smokiness when eating the salad. It was a kind of salad I've never had before in my life. For the main, you can choose from many dishes. I chose the Unajyu and it tasted really good. They use seaweed to try to mimic the umami of the unagi. While it is not as good as an actual Unajyu, it is really impressive for vegan food. To end the course, I had the orange sorbet parfait. The dessert was average but it's really hard to make good desserts with vegan ingredients. Overall, I really enjoyed the restaurant and I think 2900 yen is great value for what you get.

An amazing vegan culinary experience hidden behind a beautiful garden. The food looked good, tasted amazing and was very well-priced. We booked a Saturday dinner through Google Maps and there were just one other couple in the restaurant for that night. The tables are well spaced, and only 2 out of 5 tables were used. We chose the clover dinner course that included 1 appetizer/dessert, 1 main course and 1 drink. They had an English menu, but most of the service was done in Japanese. It was probably the best tasting vegan food I have ever tasted. The yakitori was amazing, caramelized soy meat(?) with a smoky grilled taste. The unagi was mindblowing in texture, and tasted very close to the real thing. And the dessert was also great. Would totally recommend and come back next time.

Absolutely amazing restaurant, everything was delicious and the service was attentive. The waitress had good English and was very friendly. This is a must visit for anyone even if you're not vegan.

The best vegan restaurant I have ever been to . Lunch set is only 2200yen come with soup , appetiser , main dish ( 4 choices ) plus dessert . Every dishes are so yummy . I was stunned that unagi ( eel fish ) was made by corn , so creative and tasted very good. The high light was gelato it tasted the same or better than my favourite gelato shop in azahu juban . I can’t wait to go back and try the noodle dishes . Highly recommended even if you are not a vegan person .

They only accept reservations, and we were the only group for the evening, it felt so special. It was one of the best vegan food I’ve ever had, highly recommend the wonton noodles and blueberry cheesecake. The staffs were very friendly and attentive. Overall, it was a wonderful experience.

The #1 vegan restaurant in the world holds up to its reputation... simply wow. // Firstly, I'd like to dedicate my 2100th review to my late brother on his birthday today. Happy 31st, bro! It took me a few years to follow you and go plant based but you remain a big reason why I'm still alive, healthy, and here today. I love you. While Tokyo still has a lot to catch up to become a better vegan-friendly destination, restaurants like Saido give me so much hope and promise. I made reservations online for lunch here and after nearly missing it, am so glad that I got to experience my now favorite vegan restaurant in Japan. This cafe started in 2018 by Chef Katsumi Kusumoto and should be on everyone's must-try list, especially if they are curious or wanting to experience veganized Japanese cuisine. It's tucked away on a not-so busy street so it really feels like you're being swept away for a wonderful experience. Lunch sets set us back ¥2970, which included soup, salad, main entree, dessert, and two drinks (including wine and beer). The journey began right away with soup and salad, where its presentation matched that of fine dining restaurants. For our mains, I tried the Unaju (braised eel rice bowl) and my partner's Katsuju (fried cutlet)... H O L Y. P L A N T. This was the BEST vegan unagi-don I have had yet in Japan! The texture, taste, and composition resembled eel like I had remembered it in my past life. Smoky, teriyaki flavors infused the eel and it was exactly what I hoped it would be. The katsu was also incredibly crispy, juicy, and tender. This is no simple soy-meat that's been deep fried, it was on another level. The experience concluded with another glass of wine with our sweet dessert - the blueberry cheesecake that's tucked away in a small pot that you eat with a mini shovel, and their seasonal sorbet which was creamy and refreshing. Without a doubt, they have made their mark on the vegan food scene and we are not 'missing out' on anything when food is simply this good and good for you. Reservations are HIGHLY recommended. I made a reservation through tabe-log as well as messaged the business on Facebook. The manager Hitomi-san was super friendly and fun to chat with about the business, and it left a wonderful impression on me to return in the future. I cannot stop raving about my experience at Saido. Thank you Chef Kusumoto, Hitomi-san, and your entire team for this amazing lunch. I will do my best to come back every time I plan a trip to Tokyo.

What a great vegan restaurant with extra friendly staff! I 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!
