T’s Tantan
Tokyo
En un coup d'œil
Avis
If you are looking for incredible plant-based food in Tokyo, T’s Tantan is a must-visit. The food here is absolutely delicious. Their signature sesame-based Tantanmen (spicy ramen) is rich, creamy, and packed with flavor so satisfying that even non-vegans will fall in love with it. The staff are wonderfully polite, attentive, and welcoming, making the dining experience smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. ⚠️ How to Find It (Crucial Navigation Tip!) Do NOT rely purely on Google Maps inside Tokyo Station! Google Maps often struggles with the multi-level underground layout of the station, and following it directly will almost certainly get you lost. 1. T’s Tantan is located inside the ticket gates (JR paid area). 2. Head Toward the Keiyo Line: Follow the station overhead signs pointing toward the Keiyo Line 3. Look for KeiyoStreet: The restaurant is located in the KeiyoStreet shopping/dining corridor along the way. 4. Use the Station Map: Scan the official QR code maps posted around Tokyo Station to navigate the indoor layout accurately.
The location is excellent, situated inside Tokyo Station, making it incredibly convenient for travelers and visitors exploring the city. Whether you're arriving by Shinkansen, catching a train, or simply sightseeing around Marunouchi, it's an ideal place to stop for a meal without having to leave the station complex. We ordered the vegan gyoza and ramen, and both were outstanding. The gyoza were perfectly cooked, flavorful, and among the best we had during our trip. As someone trying authentic Japanese ramen for the first time, I was honestly a little apprehensive, but it exceeded my expectations. The broth was rich and comforting, and the overall dish was both delicious and approachable for a first-time ramen eater. What stood out even more was the hospitality. We wanted to share a bowl of ramen and a serving of gyoza, and the staff kindly accommodated our request. This was greatly appreciated and made us feel genuinely welcome. Excellent food, a prime location within Tokyo Station, and warm, accommodating service. We would gladly return on our next visit to Tokyo.
I was excited to come here because it would finally be a restaurant that was exclusively vegan/vegetarian. Up until that point, the majority of restaurants and festival food stalls I'd been to consisted mainly of meat and other animal products. Tokyo Station is a maze and when I grabbed a map, it was all in Japanese, so that was no help. If it weren't for the fact that I really wanted to come here, I probably would've given up looking for it. When I finally found it at the farthest reaches of the Station, I was greeted by promising posters of the various dishes available. The one that caught my eye was exclusive to the cherry blossom season and had a flower shaped cracker and pink noodles. There was a line out the door, but fortunately, as you got closer to the door there were stools to sit on. Once inside, I was waved to a table separated by clear plastic partitions. My section still had dirty dishes on it, so I pointed at them to the waitress and she was quick to move me to a clean section. She also motioned to a basket under my chair, which was apparently for my personal belongings. I wish all restaurants did this. There's a tablet on the table, so you can choose your language and order for yourself. Once you get a confirmation, it's just a matter of waiting for the food to be brought to you, which takes a while since it's made to order. Once it finally arrived, my cherry blossom themed ramen looked just like the poster outside and tasted as good as it looked. The main issue I had was towards the end when, first, a waitress came to my table and asked if I had ordered a sorbet. When I said yes, she asked what flavor, but even after all my dirty dishes had been cleared and I had been waiting for a really long time, my dessert was nowhere to be found. I couldn't understand it because it's a pre-made dessert in a cup. Tired of waiting, I finally got up and asked a waitress about it and it was only then that I finally got it. I think what happened was that my order for that particular item didn't go through when I put it in the tablet, but even after a waitress asked me about it after my meal, for some reason, everyone still forgot about it. If it weren't for that and no one checking in on me even though I was trying to make eye contact to indicate something was wrong, I had an otherwise good experience. I know it's a cultural difference where Japanese waiters don't ask "Is everything OK?" like they do here in the U.S., but it might do them some good to do it anyway, especially if a customer looks distressed and especially since a lot of their customers are from other countries.
a cozy space inside the tokyo train station, i liked it so much i came back multiple times to try different dishes. the vegan golden sesame ramen was probably my favourite of all, very nutty and rich flavour. their vegan pork and cheese is also delicious.
This is a must try in Tokyo for all vegans and vegeterians. They brought the food really quickly and we got seated really quickly too. All the food was amazing but the spring special really stood out. My daughter really liked it and it is not spicy. Overall this is one of the best ramen places in Tokyo station.
