It's Vegetable! [Kinshi-chō]

Taiwanese Vegetarian Restaurant

Food: 4/5
Price: 2/5

This is 1 of the 1st vegetarian restaurants in Tokyo I visited and I definitely enjoyed the experience. Like other restaurants of the same genre, It’s Vegetable makes great use of fake meat products. They feature vegetarian versions of everyone’s Chinese favorites such as gyoza, fried rice, miso braised pork, sweet & sour chicken, crispy spring rolls, etc. Each dish is freshly made and served piping hot. It’s Vegetable is also convenient for lunch time. There is a lunch buffet with about 10-15 items on it. Several sizes of bento boxes are available for both eat-in and take-out. Choose which size you want and you can fill it with whatever foods you wish for 1 price (no refills). This restaurant seems to be quite popular with groups and is often difficult to get reservations on weekends. Call before you go and call early if you want reservations.

Pros: better-than-average vegetarian Chinese food, large menu
Cons: frequently crowded; compared to similar restaurants, portion sizes are small
