We had an incredible dinner here. We found this restaurant on a small map called "Muslim Map Kanda Area" featuring friendly restaurants where vegetarian and Middle Eastern cuisine are served. I was happy to be going to an Izakaya style restaurant that would have some vegetarian dishes. This was our favorite dinner experience in Tokyo. We walked in and were immediately delighted. The chef - owner greets you personally. The restaurant is filled with toys and beautiful ceramic dishes. He warned that there was not an English Menu. It does not matter. Just tell the chef whatever restrictions you have, and let him serve you creative, flavorful dishes. We had a meal of five courses, including the restaurants special vegetable pancake made with avocado and greens. It was incredible! The bakery next door is owned by the chef's wife. We picked up a round Turkish bread covered in sesame seeds. Delicious!

(Translated by Google) The vegetables are so delicious that I love the personality of my husband's wife! Koji bread is also delicious and I would like to try the melon bread heard from regular customers this time! (Original) 野菜がとても美味しくご主人奥様の人柄が好きになりました！麹のパンも美味しくて今度は常連のお客さんから聞いたメロンパンをぜひ食べてみたいです！

Vegans delight! 🌱 What a great find, if you’ve click on this place save it and go check it out! Really enjoyed the whole experience from the pink beard, to the turtles 🐢 and the food was to die for! Have no fear meat eaters there are options for you too! The menu is mainly vegan/veggie (i think anything can be made vegan) with lots of great options to choose from. Also I think they can do a lot of gluten free things also! This is a really interesting little shop I would highly recommend it. The owner is very eccentric, extremely entertaining and passionate about the food! All the the vegetables are locally scored, organic and I think from what he said home grown if can be! Also if you like turtles you will like this place there are hundreds of them... literally! Oh, and if you like pottery/ceramics the guys friends have made all the dishes/cups/bowls it’s a very nice experience to see and eat off all these beautiful things! Enjoy 🌱

one of my favorite food experiences ever! the interior is eclectically decorated and has so much character. the two owners were so deeply welcoming and truly made me feel at home. it is hard to describe how good the food was, prepared with so much attention and care in order to really bring out the flavors of simple ingredients. this restaurant exemplifies the way i wish food was related to everywhere. highly recommend to everyone!

For our last meal in Japan, we wandered into this eccentric and mysteriously located place via Happy Cow, and were greeted by a man sporting a kimono and a pink beard. He was - without a doubt - the most personable host we had at any of the restaurants we experienced during our trip. Since the menu was only in Japanese, I told him that I trusted him to make whatever he wanted; and he was mindful of various dietary restrictions. He proceeded to cook us up an amazing and one-of-a-kind Okonomiyaki with a few delicious side dishes. We toured his party room and hung out with his regulars. His ginger ale is house made and takes two days to make! So good! He showed us out after the meal and waved as we walked back to the station. The experience was totally worth missing the Narita express!

Overall: 4/5 ========= Food 5/5 Service 5/5 Experience 5/5 Cleanliness 4/5 Price 3/5 This elusive restaurant amazingly (and luckily!) managed to survive since almost 2 decades in the centre of a very dynamic metropolis. Tokyo follows trends and the fact that Genki is still “in”, means something and is well deserved. The host is successfully making any meal here to be an unforgettable experience, not only by his exquisite food and signature dishes, but also with his ever changing outfits, and very diverse interior design. This ranges from kitsch with hundreds of little animal statues to memorabilia and paraphernalia. As one can imagine these are impossible to keep in an impeccable state and hence are dusty and somewhat sticky (which is the only comment I have). Dishes, cups, glasses are all clean, beyond concern. There is an English menu, but it is not complete and contains errors. Luckily there are friendly locals (thank you Dillon!) that help you in translating and making a perfect decision. There are plenty of vegan choices, which is the prime reason i came here. My food was absolutely fantastic and I truly enjoyed it. I had ordered what I thought to be much more than I would handle: potato salad avocado/cheese roll, (vegan) eggplant okonomiyaki. Potato salad was unique and not comparable to anything I had before (5stars), the avocado/cheese roll was great (only vegan cheese I had in all of Japan), the okonomiyaki was amazing with the delicate eggplant, vegan home made dough and fried crispy sweet potato (?) on top. Only “problem” was that I wanted more soy mayonnaise, so also 5 stars. And they have great home made drinks too, the ginger ale is strongly recommended. The pricing (with 500yen cover charge, extra 10% commission) was the only thing that seemed a slight mismatch for the portion sizes, since I spent twice the amount I spent on any other dinner in other restaurants (with 2 main courses or 3/4 appetisers and a main). In conclusion, I would definitely recommend visiting Genki since the food is excellent and it is a memorable experience in a unique hallmark of Tokyo cuisine. I would definitely go back!

We went here because they have both meat and vegan options. Prices are quite expensive. Squash also expensive and way too sour to enjoy. My vegan friend asked for the chefs recommendation, but we made it clear it was only for one person. He ended up making her 3 dishes (way more than we wanted to pay for), so we had to share. The potato salad was delicious. Everything else was really bad. We were served the chefs speciality which was served 30 minutes after everything else. It was a mess of all sorts of ingredients that do not go together. A vegetable pancake (which I usually love) that was soggy and didn't taste good. Topped with hot strawberries, carrot flakes and a lot of sour brown sauce that made it completely inedible. I ordered the chicken and eggplant. The chicken was so tough i couldn't chew through it. It had almost no marinade and the flesh was dark purpleish. Ended up paying 7800 for two people, and we barely ate anything because it was so bad. The decoration is fun but dirty and definitely not worth it. Plus there's a cover charge for sitting.

(Translated by Google) I hesitate in the store attitude, but there is no loss in entering! The shopkeeper was also an interesting person. I want to go back again! (Original) 店構えで躊躇しますが、入って損はありません！ 店主さんも面白い人でした。 また行きたいと思うお店です！

(Translated by Google) Okonomiyaki with baby leaf and brown rice. The topping was avocado. I'm gonna come out. They saw me off on my way home. Thanks! (Original) ベビーリーフと玄米のお好み焼き。トッピングはアボカドにしました。玄気が出ます。帰りに二人で見送ってくれました。感謝！

Paradise for vegans with unique atmosphere! Food was extremely delicious, beer with ginger and potato salad are highly recommended! Friendly staff😊👍🌱

(Translated by Google) It was very delicious and great! (Original) とても美味しく最高でした！

(Translated by Google) Dirty shran of the Showa era! ? (Original) 昭和のなごりの汚なシュラン！？

(Translated by Google) Deep shops of Kanda delicious vegetables is to eat a lot. Mesclun of okonomiyaki has asked every time. There are plenty of drinks. I'm sorry to ask for a beer here. Both ginger ale and coffee are very delicious. It also supports vegan dishes. I also recommend the bread of Asunko bread. (Original) 美味しい野菜がいっぱい食べれる神田のディープなお店。ベビーリーフのお好み焼きは毎回頼んでます。飲み物も豊富。ここではビールを頼むともったいない。ジンジャエールもコーヒーもめっちゃ美味しいです。ビーガン料理にも対応してくれます。 あつんこパンのパンもおすすめ。

We had so lovely evening over there. The boss made up himself for Christmas, he is so good chef, you must take his recommended dishes. The little hut is well decorated with lots of traditional Japanese stuffs. The dishes are not only Vegan, but also you can find beef and chicken. We all love the vegan dishes especially raw eggplant salad 👍

Plenty of vegan options. I’d recommend getting a couple of the grilled veggies. The owner is also very friendly and shared a drink with us. The decor is charming with little knickknacks strewn throughout the restaurant and covering almost every inch of it. This was definitely a rare find and would recommend to people looking for a unique experience!

This was a super fun experience- I got the vegan options only. The bar is kitchy, the chef and his wife are super sweet and goofy, and the food is tasty. For me the homemade ginger ale and potato salad were solid 10/10. The portions are large. I also got the okonomiyaki, not bad but not the best I’ve had in Japan. Would definitely visit again. FYI it’s cash only.

(Translated by Google) It seems that they are managed by a couple. I was impressed by the friendly and very attentive response to customers. Cooking is also healthy, but I can eat and satisfy my stomach. The decoration of the room is unique and it seems to be pleased if you bring people overseas. (Original) 夫婦で経営されているようです。気さくで非常に丁寧なお客さんへの対応に感動しました。料理もヘルシーだけど食べ応えがありお腹も満足できます。お部屋の装飾も独特で海外の方を連れてきたら喜びそうです。

This is a great little place! The chef Genki-San is very nice and speaks English. The menu is diversified, with lots of vegetarian options. We loved everything. I recommend 100%

Amazing dining experience. Good service, good food, great design! A must go if you are vegetarian!! Avocado okonomiyaki is delicious! Homemade ginger beer Shandy was mind blowing. A must order! I will definitely come again, thank you Satoshi!! Update: went back again for a second time and it doesn't disappoint! Strawberry okonomiyaki this time. I love this place! Thank you!

(Translated by Google) The vegetables are delicious. The general is also interesting (Original) 野菜が美味しい。大将も面白い

Absolutely fantastic experience! My wife is a vegetarian and since she moved to Tokyo she's had ups and downs in terms of vegetarian dining, but this is her favorite izakaya bar none. Great atmosphere too.

It was a very unique and pleasant vegetarian food experience for me. Especially that I sat next to the chef. I could watch how skilful and joyful was the chef. He enjoyed cooking for others very much. The food was special and kind of fusion. We did not know what to order as there was no English menu. The chef just cooked what he felt like serving. We paid JPY8,500 for 2 pax inclusive of 1 drink each. The chef and wife are happy people. Overall it was a a nice and memorable visit.

(Translated by Google) Loved this place! Our best restaurant experience in Tokyo so father. So charming and friendly staff and good food, we were also invited to watch as the chef cooked the food. He prepared a completely vegan menu for us when we asked for it (Original) Älskade detta ställe! Vår bästa restaurangupplevelse i Tokyo so far. Så charmig och trevlig personal och god mat, vi blev också inbjudna att se på när kocken tillagade maten. Han tillagade en helt vegansk meny åt oss när vi bad om det

Not bad

It’s rare to find a fun Japanese izakaya with such a large selection of vegetarian and vegan options. The food is excellent, the decor is wackily jovial, and the whole experience is unlike any other place in Tokyo. I do wish the seating was more comfortable, though.

Authentic, unique and curiously vegan! This was a great find! As a vegan you don’t get to try some of the delicious flavours of Japan….until now! The okonomiyaki was delicious using a home made egg replacer to bind the delicious flavours together! Lots of great options, you will leave satisfied!

Genki is amazing. Hands down the best meal we had in Tokyo. Everything from the decor to the food to the owners was a fantastic experience. The food was so good that we only remembered to take 1 picture because we were so excited to eat. They have an English menu available and a LOT of vegetarian and vegan options. I'd recommend trying to make a reservation at least the day before. We were lucky we got to walk in at 8pm for two seats on the counter. After the meal the owners personally saw us off outside the restaurant which ended the evening on an even higher note than the meal left us at.

The chef and his wife were so welcoming. The atmosphere was great, it's so cosy indoors. The food was delicious, also for vegetarians!

What a wonderful place! As a solo traveller I had a great evening here eating strawberry okonomiyaki, drinking sake and talking with the owners and other customers.

Coolest vegan restaurant!!! The inside decor is an incredible collection of toys, figurines and collector's items from almost 20 years of running the place... The owners are outgoing, social and easy going ~ good vibes and service! It's a bit cramped inside but the atmosphere and food are really great. Especially nice to enjoy an entirely vegan dinner in Japan, which is so rare and treasured! Really enjoyed my experience. Highly recommended 👌🏼 (Bonus points for the extra large sized lobster slippers 🦞😆)

(Translated by Google) It was a dish that seemed good for the body! (Original) 身体に良さそうな料理でした！

Incredibly friendly and welcoming, amazing service, very nice food - perfect combination for a great dinner! Thank you so much!

What a great atmosphere and place to eat! The chef is an awesome personality too! :)

(Translated by Google) This was introduced by a friend. The atmosphere is very good, and it is served with a light taste that makes the best use of fresh ingredients from all over the country. If you like dishes that make the most of the taste of the ingredients, we highly recommend it. I also like the atmosphere of the hideaway shop. (Original) こちらは友人の紹介でお邪魔しました。雰囲気がとてもよく、全国の新鮮な食材を生かした薄味の調理で出してくれます。素材の味を生かした料理がお好みの方は是非おすすめです。隠れ家的なお店の雰囲気も気に入っています。

(Translated by Google) Every dish was amazing. Not only tasty but also unique so you can't eat them anywhere else. Alots of vegan option. There were meats and seafoods if you want. Your direction is here !! Not only is it delicious, it has a unique taste, There is no comparison with other stores. There are rare vegetables and combinations of ingredients, and no matter what menu you order, you will get something different from what you imagine and very delicious ✌️ He said it was okay to bring a small child ◎ The owner was very friendly.

(Translated by Google) I think it's a shop that likes and dislikes, but I felt like an ant (Original) 好き嫌いはハッキリしそうなお店だとおもいますが、私はアリだと感じましたー

Seriously such an amazing place

(Translated by Google) I am impressed with the okonomiyaki made with vegetables. It's fun to ask the owner about anything about vegetables and tell me anything. (Original) 野菜づくしのお好み焼きが感動。野菜について店主の方に聞くと何でも教えて下さり、楽しいです。

(Translated by Google) Menus that have never been eaten. Good taste and reasonable (Original) 食べたことがないメニューが目白押し。味も良く、リーズナブル

Fantastic. Great food and location

(Translated by Google) It was a very unique shop and foreign acquaintances who took me were pleased. If you ask at the time of reservation, you can also respond to vegan. It was just like a grandmother's house, using a normal house as it is. (Original) 大変ユニークなお店で、連れて行った外国の知人も喜んでいました。予約時にお願いすればビーガンにも対応してもらえます。普通の一軒家をそのまま利用していて、例えて言うならおばあちゃんの家にいるような雰囲気でした。

(Translated by Google) Cuisine is also good. So unique farewell prefer, but it is also a shop that will want to go also in light. (Original) 料理もうまい。個性的なので好みは別れますが、それも踏まえてまたいきたくなるお店です。

(Translated by Google) There are so many inexplicable things that I didn’t order, but I paid a lot more... I hope the boss can make it clear, and the meal will taste very greasy after eating... (Original) 莫名其妙多了沒點的東西結果多付好多錢…希望老闆可以講清楚一點，然後餐點吃到後來味道很膩……

Really lovely quirky little restaurant with fabulous food.

(Translated by Google) The dishes centered on selected vegetables are very delicious. This is Tokyo for the exterior and interior? ! At first, I was surprised, but the couple was warm, very kind and smart. The atmosphere of the shop is also cozy. Is the strawberry okonomiyaki a strawberry in summer only? ! I suspect, but I was surprised to eat. Taste that I have never eaten before! Potato salad takes time and you want to eat it again. (Original) こだわりの野菜を中心とした料理が非常に美味。外観や内装に、ここは東京？！とはじめは驚くが、ご夫妻も温かく、とても親切に、手際良く対応してくれます。お店の雰囲気も居心地が良い。 夏季限定のいちごのお好み焼きも、いちご？！と疑うが、食べてびっくり。いままでに食べた事の無い美味しさ！ポテトサラダも手間がかかっており、また食べたくなる。

Great little vegan/vegitarian place with unique takes on traditional recipes. Also, a decent veriety of fish and meat for you non-plant based protein lovers.

(Translated by Google) All the dishes I have eaten so far, for example, the taste that I can not compare with the menu that I wanted to ask at various restaurants, I want to eat again with a taste that I have never experienced before He / she cooks dishes that I think. (Original) 料理全てが今まで自分が食べてきた物、例えば色々な飲食店で頼んで旨いと思ったメニューとも比較することが出来ない味で、全てが今まで経験したことがない味でまた今度食べたいと思う料理を出してくれます。

(Translated by Google) Well, a place where people who really like vegetables go. The shopkeeper and the wife were very happy. (Original) うーん、野菜が本当に好きな人が行くところ。店主とおかみさんはとても感じが良かったです。

We were looking for a japanese restaurant with options for vegetarians (not so easy...). We found this place near our hotel and our dinning experience was just awesome. All dishes were terrific. And the chef was undoubtely unique!

(Translated by Google) People of vegan can also enjoy (Original) ビーガンの人も楽しめます

One of a kind place, one of a kind chef, once in a lifetime experience!

Superb menu and the couple that runs the place are just lovely! Check for tables beforehand.

We had an amazing experience at Yasai Izakaya Genki. Although the menu was only in Japanese, we knew they catered well for vegetarians and vegans, so asked the owner to make some of his recommendations for us. The dishes were amazing - extremely tasty and fresh, made right before our eyes on the Teppanyaki hot plate. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, even with my very basic Japanese language skills. Highly recommended for vegetarians and vegans looking for an authentic traditional Izakaya experience with a unique and homely twist.
