Loca Kitchen - Tokyo

Delicious, rustic vegan restaurant in koenji. many delicious items on the menu. my two favorites are the avocado spring roll with fresh berries sauce and the margarita pizza. the cheese on this pizza is fantastic! they also have a beautiful cheese sorting plate that fits well with the beautiful selection of beautiful wines on the menu. recommended if they are in the opposite and looking for a place to cool out and have a few heart vegan eat.

I got the vegan Pina colada to wind down on a Thursday night. We were the only two people there, but it was cozy so we didn't mind it at all. The seats are low to the ground and each chair is different; it added a bit of character to the place. The burger came with delicious salsa on top and amazing pickles and potato wedges. The burger was definitely better than some places, but nothing to write home about. It was just your typical bean burger. Their falafel is something else though. Properly spiced and densely packed, it's the way all falafels should be made. Didn't try the deserts this time but definitely would have to go back to try them!

I have tried the vegan Caprese salad once, on take-away, and it was so good that I went to Loca Kitchen again just for having it again. I also tried the intriguing Matcha Kalhua which was served as a cocktail with soy milk and was delicious.

Eat the sweets! They were delicious. I had a tart that was very delicious. As for savoury, I had their bagel dish and there was a spice on it that did have a strong, pungent taste that gave me a headache later on. I'm not usually sensitive to spices so it was my first time experiencing something like that. If you're okay with strong tastes than you should be fine. I did read a previous review that said the spice had an off taste' which I can confirm. Other than that the lady who works there is so nice. It wasn't difficult to find and the atmosphere was pleasant. She can speak English too.

Cute little vegan cafe in Koenji, located under the tracks of the Koenji station. (Where all the drinking spots are). When I came at 9pm on a Sunday it was slow. The old school wooden sliding door is hard to open so for a second I thought they were closed. I ordered the karage (deep fried soy meat) and the bagel burger with vegan patty. The karage was fanatic and comes with a little side of hummus. I would come back for just that and a beer sometime. The bagel sandwich was good too, the vegan patty is a little bit soft so it’s kind of messy, the two little potatoes wedges that come with it are great! (PS, the bagel is a typical Japanese bagel aka soft) I will say that they use a spice of some sort that kind of has an “off taste” to me, which I can taste in some of the food.
