Review: Ramen here was pretty dang delish. we even drank up the broth. P.s. if you like ginger apparently you can ask for more before they serve (google translated one of the stickers on the booth after) My bf and I both ordered the gluten free double meat grilled miso and shio ramen. the brown rice noodles had a nice chewiness to it that I didn’t expect at all! Fried chicken soooo gooddd reminded me of the Taiwanese chicken crispiness. The pork , oufff soo good when you let it sit in the soup for a min or so to let the fat melt a bit before eating. drooling!!! I LOVED that the soup was piping hot, nice smokiness to it. Great place if you’re looking for vegan or gluten free ramen (if you’re willing to risk the cross contamination) The only down side was, my bf did get a Slight reaction likely due to cross contamination. Now we didn’t mention it to the server and just ordered Gluten free from the kiosk and handed in our tickets. I think we could have also been more proactive on our part to mention that he has celiacs to see if they could put extra measures.

Review: This place has possibly THE BEST GLUTEN FREE FOOD, I’ve ever had. Even my non-gluten-free partner and friend were amazed at how great the food was. We received our food in less than 10 minutes. I personally recommend the Spicy Miso ramen.

Review: We were running around Shibuya, struggling to find vegetarian-friendly dinner options at 9.30 pm at night. We looked up HC & found Shimbu Sakiya ramen. Though we initially struggled to find it - we let out a huge sigh of relief when we finally did. Ordering was all on a screen outside the restaurant - there is was 1 vegan ramen option & 1 vegetarian ramen option. I selected the vegetarian ramen option & vegetarian gyoza. Drink options were limited and not too exciting, especially if you don't want to drink alcohol. Once ordered though, the difficulty was getting the machine to accept our credit cards - after 4 repeated attempts to pay & having to restart the order, we paid in cash. So good idea to keep sufficient cash on you. Once ordered, ramen came out within 10 minutes of ordering - perfect for the hungry vegetarian after meal-hunting. The Ramen was lovely to look at and even better to eat. For those who are partial to smokey flavours, you will be smitten by this ramen -- it was smokey, umami deliciousness. The vege dumplings were beautifully pan-fried on the outside but the filling was packed too tight for my liking. The restaurant had some thoughtful touches - the table had packets with hair ties to keep nasty hairs from floating into your soup, a water filling station & good condiments to add to the ramen. All in all a great late-night find for a vegetarian/vegan.

Review: Amazing ramen. My wife is vegetarian do is king of hard to find a vegetarian or vegan ramen shop. Service was fast and food was very tasty. I got the double meat ant I came with pork and a huge pice of fried chicken.

Review: It was so good the first time I ate ramen here, I went back a 2nd night. Delicious! Their dumplings come vegan and GF and the fried chicken is always GF. The ordering machine might not take foreign credit cards, but you can use local cards or cash. The place is small, but they have some seating upstairs too. The food come pretty fast and they ask you to not take more than 40 min to finish your meal (so others can enjoy too). Spoke with someone local while there and they go there often, food doesn't taste the same in other GF places.
