Tofu Room Dy's - Tokyo

Got enough of the ramen, burgers and brown rice sets? Try Tofu Room Dy's for a bit of a different take on Japanese food. Every meal on the menu is centred around tofu. They do have the basic Japanese rice and vegetable set, but it has tofu accents. I went for the shops specialty: the tofu sandwich. 1300 yen for a sandwich may sound like a lot of money, but it comes with extra's! While the chef was preparing the sandwich, I was served a single serving of very firm and tasty tofu. Then a bowl of soup with vegetables and tofu was brought to me. The sandwich itself is made from fluffy light bread with lettuce, tomato and big slab of tofu and just the right amount of vegan mayonnaise. Considering all the extra's and the big size of the meal, the price was certainly justified.

Had an excellent dinner here the other day and great conversation with the owner about veganism (in Japanese). Owners speak a little English though and they were more than willing to recommend me some items off the menu. Everything is tofu/soy based, even the tea( so might not be for everyone but it was what I was looking for. On top of it he gave me homemade senbei to take home. Great experience.

The staff didn't speak English but they did have English menus which clearly marked what was vegan. We went at lunch time and there was only one non-vegan option of a cheese sandwich, the rest was vegan. When we sat down we were given water, then once we ordered we were given a piece of tofu which had a nice enough taste and texture to be eaten by itself. We were then given soup which was made from an onion and mushroom broth with more tofu in the soup. It was reminiscent of French onion soup. I ordered the set lunch plate which was fried tofu and vegetables, three salads and rice. My mum and dad ordered sandwiches and they were both very big and filling. There was definitely enough food to keep us feeling full, but all the food was light and healthy. The service here is slow so dont expect a quick bite to eat, but if you're looking for a relaxing meal then I'd highly recommend

Delicious food, nice atmosphere, friendly owners, soul music—we loved it.

Very small, nice and welcoming restaurant, the owners are super nice, they speak little English but they understand vegan. The menu is in Japanese only but the vegan items are clearly marked, and they are more than happy to explain everything.
