Ming Teng HAO HAO is a plant-based cafe that focuses on eco-friendly, sustainable dining. Their philosophy emphasizes reducing food waste, utilizing recycled interior materials, and offering entirely plant-based meals that are gentle on both health and the environment. The restaurant is easy to find, located on the first floor of the reload shopping complex in Shimokitazawa, just a five-minute walk from Shimokitazawa Station. It features a straightforward lunch set for 1500 yen. The system allows you to select one main dish, which comes balanced with a soup, two side dishes, and your choice of either gyoza or a mini soy pudding. The Vegan Mapo Tofu Rice provides a solid, satisfying level of spiciness. If you want to try other options, the main menu includes: * Vegan Minced Pork Rice (Lu Rou Fan) * Vegan Chopped Chicken Rice (Chi Rou Fan) * Soupless Noodles * Mingte Gapao Rice For an extra 300 yen, you can add a Drink Set. The options include: * Hong Kong Soy Milk Tea (Hot/Iced) * Oriental Beauty Tea (Hot/Iced) * Jasmine Tea (Hot/Iced) * Coffee (Original Blend, Hot/Iced) The traditional Taiwanese desserts are a pleasant addition. The sweet, silky soy pudding (douhua) offers a smooth texture that is clean-tasting and works well to balance out the heat from the spicier dishes. It is a practical spot for a straightforward, sustainable lunch.

Great vegan dishes and tofu puddings! Don’t be discouraged by poor reviews — it's def worth trying. Despite the small size of the restaurant, the food and service are excellent. I particularly enjoy the banmen with gyoza set and the seasonal tofu puddings!

PERFECTION! This place left me truly speechless—during a long trip to Japan, this was probably my favorite meal I had the entite time. There is an array of incredible dishes from which to choose and the entire time I kept thinking that what I was eating was the best thing I’ve ever had. The dumplings with the sesame sauce were especially great, but everything on the menu was an easy 10/10. I would eat here every single day if I could. Ming Teng HAO HAO is in my restaurants hall of fame for sure.

We found the perfect Restaurant. We loved everything about this place. The food is delicious! My personal favourite is the vegan chicken in a menu with the savoury dumplings. The service is always friendly and very fast! Such a lovely crew! Thanks a lot for the delicious meals you prepared for us almost daily during our stay! Even as an omnivore you are more than satisfied, but for vegan it is a paradies!

If you come to Shimokitazawa, you have no choice but to eat at ming teng HAO HAO. You can enjoy hot and freshly made Chinese vegan plate. You can choose the number of gyoza you order individually - 3, 6, or 9 - so you have no choice but to order them.🥟 This is one of my favorite vegan restaurants!
