Delicious and beautifully presented

This place was amazing! I walked in but reservations are recommended!! It had a beautiful upstairs seating, downstairs bakery take away and where you give payment. I will be back here!! The fluffy pancakes/fresh fruit/ CORN SOUP were all so delicious!! I highly recommend if you are in Ginza!

You Have to Try the Pancakes

We've eaten here multiple times and the pancakes are awesome. It's kind of like a mix of a biscuit and a pancake. Highly recommend. The location is nice and the restaurant spans multiple floors. Definitely worth a visit, and a place that non-vegans will enjoy as much as vegans.

Good, healthy food

I ordered the spinach curry and was pleased. I needed a veggie-heavy meal, and it hit the spot. My friend got a burger and also said it was great. We were trying to eat Japanese food the whole time we were here, and this was a welcome change-of-pace from rich/salty ramen broth. I would recommend it. I took a star off not because there was anything wrong, everything was great, but I personally reserve 5 stars for places that blow my socks off. This place was very good, but nothing special.

Good cutlet

I had the vegan cutlet and the tofu omelet. The tofu omelet was pretty blend. TBH, just egg tastes way better. The vegan cutlet was pretty good.

Great presentation, inflexible rules

I came here with my family and enjoyed the pre-fix dinner which included a salad, soup, bento box, 3 pieces of sushi, and dessert. The soup, salad, and bento were great, the sushi was ok. We were in a private dining area that was tasteful but very cold, but they had blankets.

We had a reservation for 6 and one person had to cancel last minute. They charged us 100% cancellation fee for him AND we couldn’t take his food to go, so that was very disappointing.

For the food alone I would have given at least 4 stars!

Really expensive

Ain Soph is really expensive and bland. There are so many better options, go somewhere else. Try Mos Burger vegan burger, really cheap and good, try Kura Sushi for cucumber, daikon, natto sushi.
Ain Soph are also pretty dirty shops in my opinion, which is crazy for Tokyo. Their desserts are okay though.

Pros: Desserts

Cons: Dirty, Expensive, Bland

Well overpriced

Vegan pancakes are not pancakes, they taste more likeshortbreads. We had to wait for the food for more than an hour and it didn't arrive all together as we asked. Waitress forgot about our bento box and we didn't even get any discount because of their mistake. It is well overpriced for the quality of the food you get there. There are better places.

Great food for brunch & lovely presentation

Everything was great. Loved the variety of selections.
Unfortunately, I'm allergic to almonds, so I couldn't try the fluffy pancakes since they're made with almond flour, but everything else was delicious, and my husband said the pancakes were amazing.

A very special experience

We went all out and had the set course with 9 piece bento. Began with a delicious salad. Then tomato soup. Then the bento box. Then 3 vegetable sushi. And finally vanilla and chocolate soy ice cream. Came with coffee or tea and cookies at the end. Expensive but worth it. I was so full.

Amazing Pancakes

My partner (not vegan) and I both got the pancake sets and agreed it was the best pancakes we've had! They came with a lot of fresh fruit, jam, syrup, and ice cream that was some of the best vegan ice cream I've had!

3.5 stars

Place was good but not somewhere I would look forward to going back to. Soufflé pancakes aren’t airy like you’d expect, reminded me more of a fluffy biscuit or soft cookie type of pancake.
You walk into the small shop & order. Then they ask you to walk up to whichever floor is available for seating. Because of this layout, you do have to wait a while if you need a water refill. Once you’re done eating you walk back down to pay.
Portions are small which is expected in Japan but it’s definitely been my most expensive meal of the trip at $44 for a bento box, extra order of karage(5pcs/$4), and single order of pancakes(2 palm size pancakes 2tbs of ice cream).

Pros: Matcha ice cream, it’s less sweet so I loved it, Small hummus like side in the bento box, Dressing on salad

Cons: Some items like tofu omelette were lacking flavor

best treat

If you want a truly memorable vegan experience, this place is a must! While the Heavenly Vegan Pancakes with seasonal fruits and soy whip are delightful, my absolute favorite was the bento with 9 different exquisite dishes accompanied by a delicious little soup. Every item was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor.

The seasonal vegetable salad and the 3 kinds of vegetable sushi are also fresh and vibrant. Perfect for a celebration or treating yourself- the food is as lovely to look at as it is to eat. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a thoughtful, delicious vegan meal!

Get the dinner bento box!

Make a reservation well in advance so that you don’t miss this hit in Tokyo. Everything was so delicious. Portions are small so don’t skip lunch but nevertheless, delicious and I highly recommend.

Pros: Setting, 12 course bento box + sushi

Cons: Small portions

Pancakes are tasty but not similar to “fluffy pancakes”

Definitely make sure you book a table if you want to go here, it’s small inside, you go in to a small counter on the ground floor and then wait for your table on one of the upstairs floors.

We both got the “fluffy” pancakes, one with fruit and cream and the other was the seasonal pancakes with matcha cream and mochi. The pancakes are not at all similar to fluffy pancakes, they’re more similar to a scone (British definition of a scone), which isn’t a bad thing because they were really tasty especially with the toppings! Just don’t go in expecting wobbly, fluffy pancakes.

We also got matcha lattes with soy milk which were quite tasty, but did have better elsewhere. Overall, I’d either get the matcha pancakes if I wanted something sweet, otherwise I’d definitely get the bento box because this looked really cool and is only available at the ginza store.

Pros: Tasty, Vegan friendly

Cons: Expensive, Need a booking

Fanciest Pancakes I’ve Ever Had

I don’t think I’ve ever had pancakes as fancy as I did here. It came with a salad as well as an assortment of fruit and sweets to go with it. The flavors were amazing!! I also got a seasonal dessert that was super good

You must go!

This was the best food I had in Japan, hands down. I dined alone and savored every bite. It was cozy and warm atmosphere, and the server was so kind. I daydream about returning someday.

Great food but limited in comparison to other branches

I really like Ain Soph in general, but to me this one felt limited on options and more expensive. It's also really difficult to get any seating unless you reserve well ahead.

With a busy schedule that was fairly fluid to allow for last minute changes/improvements, the only time we found to reserve was for lunch.

There were very few options, most of which were very expensive in comparison to most areas and other branches of Ain Soph.

The staff were polite and friendly though, so at least there's that!

I'd definitely recommend looking at some of the other branches in case you can go to a cheaper one or find one that can take walk in meals.

Pros: Good food, Friendly staff

Cons: Too expensive, Limited options

Beautiful Bento!

I’m so glad I made the reservation. The space is small, and if you don’t reserve your food choice ahead of time, the menu one you arrive is limited. Totally worth it to have such a lovely experience, and everything tasted great. I think my favorites in the box were the omelet, the ribs and the radish. Sushi, salad and soup were all delicious too..
I will say though, even though the pancakes were good.. I felt they were actually donuts since they were def fried. I’m a huge pancake lover and with the rave reviews I was so psyched to try them. Still good, but too heavy and just not what I pictured.

Excellent Food, but very pricey

The food was absolutely fantastic and well presented. The customer service was excellent. The atmosphere was lovely. The only complaint was that it was very pricey. We were able to find great vegan food in Tokyo for much much less. However, the food here can't be beat.

Quick to find in a nice location

I reserved for the same day at the restaurant (wasn’t possible online for the same day). The service was superb.
I had one of the set menus, but in the restaurant I saw that they had as special offer Creme Brûlée, so I ordered that as a dessert. However, the top was a bit charcoaled.
