T's TanTan

Although it appears to be a compact eatery from the outside, once you enter, there is ample seating and the space feels comfortable. The service was really good and the staff was polite and attentive. We ordered the Golden Sesame Tantanmen, the Tantan Rice Bowl with Gyoza, and an Organic Soda. This turned out to be the best vegan ramen place we visited so far in the city. Everything was freshly prepared and tasted really good. A great spot for a satisfying and wholesome meal inside Tokyo Station.

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.

Japan's rail network can be quite complex to tourists. The sheer number of stations, platforms, lines and even train types can be confusing. But it is an established infrastructure which gets you places and there are hidden gems within. By this, I mean shops which are just amazing. These can be within the gates on your way to your rail line or outside as you exit the gates. T's Tan Tan Ramen Vegan is one of these gems. We first cam across the shop when we visited Tokyo in 2024. Looking for halal food when we reached Tokyo station can be an experience in itself. When we cam across the shop, we were happy to note that there is no meat served and no alcohol in the food, making its menu Muslim-friendly. The ramen was wholesome and delicious! It was filling and we noticed that it was packed, testimony to the quality and tastiness of the food served. Come 2025, we visited Tokyo again and we made it a point to visit the shop. It was not easy locating the shop. We have already exited the gates. For the life of me, I just could not recall the location of the shop. Google maps may be not ne easy to follow in such a maze but Google Translate certainly helps when u ask the staff at the station. The shop is located within the gates of Tokyo Station next to the entry to the JE Keiyo Line. Our 2nd visit to the shop did not disappoint! There was a short queue and we patiently waited. Ordered some sesame tantanmen, ramen, gyozo and other dishes. Service was good and attentive and the food even better than the service! If you are looking for good and healthy cuisine, I would recommend T's Tan Tan! It is Muslim-friendly and vegan too! Go give it a try if you are in Tokyo Station. You will not be disappointed!

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.
