IRO Izakaya Vegan in Berlin

Delicious food and very good drinks!

Our appetizers were great and full of flavor. The ramen was a bit bland, it lacked depth of flavor. It needed more salt and a sour taste.

Very tasty vegan food! Get a seat quickly without a reservation. Highly recommended if you are in the area.

100% awesome. I'm not a big fan of Japanese cuisine but I also had a fantastic meal here. Great and tasty dishes and great service and ambience! 100% amazing. I'm usually not a big fan of Japanese cuisine but even I was completely satisfied. Great dishes with great taste. Really friendly staff and nice ambience.

SCAM! Avoid if you have any sense of taste. Everything tastes the same and it’s overpriced. Ordered a ramen that basically was hot water with overcooked noodles.

Nothing has taste. No flavour. All dishes taste more or less the same, albeit looking different.

The food tastes simply great here. Highly recommended.

Had the Shoyu Ramen. Noodles were ok, the vegetables were reasonable in quantity but very little tofu. In general it tasted very bland. Too bad. Very expensive for this mediocre quality.

Ordered the miso ramen. Had only 2 thin pieces of Tofu and 2 pieces of overcooked eggplants in the ramen - honestly, I think there should’ve been more. Lack of taste and structure. Very little sesame. Overall, bland. The service was ok. Although, I wish there was sesame, chili served (or just ready on the table). It’s quite dark inside. Card payment not an option if your check is less than 30€ :/

One of my favourite cousins and plenty of vegan options. So good 😊

We ordered two ramen and vegan karaage. The karaage was delicious. The miso one tasted okay, not that type of ramen with a deep flavor but still okay. Unfortunatly the wantan ramen was tasteless. Maybe it's better taking small dishes rather than the main dishes. About the payment: before we sat down they told us "cash only" but everywhere (on the window, on the table) you could read "cash or EC card at 30€". So we went to withdraw. Then, after we returned back to the restaurant I've seen the waitress making two other customers pay with card. Despite this, the waitress was very nice and friendly with us.

Very tasty food, great cocktails and above all super friendly service!

We got the green sushi for two and it was amazing.

Nowadays no Visa or Mastercard is no longer up to date.

Quite ok. Service was a little rude, card payments only from 30 euros and only EC, which surprised me. The salad side dish for the starter was old and dried out. But the main courses were pretty tasty. There are no praises, but it wasn't bad either.

Loved the atmosphere and interior design of the restaurant. I can definitely recommend the Gyoza and the homemade Yuzu lemonade, both were really delicious. The main dish (Japanese Curry) was pretty good too. It's worth a visit when you're in the area.

Great food great service great location

Shortly after 5 p.m. it is very easy to get a table outside without a reservation. Reservations are likely necessary at later times or on weekends. We can highly recommend the food. The price is a little more expensive but in our opinion it is absolutely justified for the delicious and vegan food you get here. 💯 Super warm and lovely service.

Very good food and large portions. The Matchalimo is highly recommended! The ambience is very nice but a bit dark.

Not quite an Izakaya as you would expect from Japan. More of a normal restaurant. Everything vegan. And there is also a lunch menu. I had a Japanese curry. The portion was generous - worth the price I would say.

My first time here. Probably better would be to order sushi to make a proper review. But we had ramen and appetizers. Ramen was okay but not the best (3.5/5): regarding TANTAN RAMEN: packchoi was extremely cold (like if it would jump to my plate right from a freezer). Sweet potato had strong deep fryer flavor. In general this ramen had very oily texture. very little bit of vegan meat and lack of flavour. Didn't get umami moment no matter how hard i tried. my partner had WANTAN RAMEN. I would say this type of broth i liked better, and dumplings were pretty good. But once again the taste of ramen in general wasn't rich enough. Both of us got to use a soy sous to improve our experience. Appetizers: VEGAN KARAAGE: 4/5. AVOCADO DREAM 3.5/5. the taste was too flat and straight. Service quick, kind and friendly 5/5.

Very good Japanese restaurant. And vegan too, great. The wonton ramen was good, the wonton itself was very good. The broth was too soy sauce-heavy for me personally, but that's my personal taste. The curry was also good, especially the vegan katsu. The Tonkatsu Ramen was the highlight. Absolutely recommended. The homemade lemonades were also delicious. It is advisable to reserve in advance. Despite having plenty of seating, the shop was very full and some groups had to wait for a table.

Super nice staff and the food and drinks were also delicious

I've been here before and the food was delicious but today we came in at 9:30pm and were told the kitchen has closed although here it says they're open until 11pm and their website states the kitchen is open until 11pm and that the restaurant closes at 11:30pm. We were given no explanation and the waiter just walked away.

Great food and service - we had starters, sushi and the ramen plus a desert and loved everything. Really cozy

This cozy sushi spot is a gem! The service is fast, and the staff are incredibly friendly, making you feel welcome right away. The sushi is not only delicious but beautifully presented. Plus, the miso soup is authentic and full of rich flavor. A must-visit!

It was so delicious!! Gladly again:)

It was so delicious😸 great food & great music & great staff! The Yuzu Panacotta is highly recommended😋 I will definitely come back

The vegan food here is really great! There is a great selection and the lunch offers are convincing at a great price. The staff is also very friendly and the atmosphere is very pleasant. Great recommendation for anyone looking for new vegan restaurants.

One of my favorite restaurants in the neighborhood :)

The food is delicious, I ate the best ramen of my life! The people working on site are welcoming and very nice, thank you! 😊

Great dinner for a work trip! We will be back again

Not only one of the best Vegan experience I had around Europe, but also one of the best Japanese restaurants I have ever tried. Everything, starting with the tea, following with the delicious king trumpet yakitori, the udon with fried vegetables and avocado and ending with the vegan mochi was full of flavour, umami and character. The crispy vegetables left a wonderful sensation in my mouth, and the mushrooms had a nice texture and were perfectly grilled. The local is elegant, and gives that nice feeling of conviviality and tradition. The service was good and each course was served quickly one after the other.

Ramen not homemade neither broth nor noodles. Unfortunately disappointing. There is more authentic food there.

I loooove everything here! The soups are not exactly my taste, but my boyfriend loved it and I enjoy the sushi here a lot!

Mad good vegan food 😮‍💨 we will definetly come back here!!

Super delicious ramen, cozy atmosphere and dreamlike avocadotempura! I would recommend at any time ♥️

Very tasty vegan dishes and a good diverse selection, mega tasty gyoza the ambience is nice, the staff was friendly and quick despite a full restaurant.

Service was nice, but not warm either. The price of the food is rather too high. Unfortunately, the sushi rice was hard, either not cooked long enough or from the day before, but in any case that significantly diminished the sushi taste experience. The miso soup was quite ok.

Update Jan 2025. New menu, simplified presentation (pictures!) and a few new items. Place is packed at 20:00. Service is slower. Good Japanese vegan. Reasonable prices, good staff, delicious food. CASH ONLY

Fantastic restaurant. I had no.4 and no.40 on the menu. Both immaculately presented and the ‘kimono’ was the best tasting sushi I have ever eaten.

Super friendly, very tasty, food arrived very quickly and relaxed atmosphere

Super delicious food (recommend the Tantan Ramen) and great service! :)

Super tasty and very nice service. Plus everything is vegan ❤️

It was incredibly tasty, we will definitely come back! :)

Amazon food and also very clean

Good and diverse food, quick and friendly service, cozy atmosphere. :-)

The starters are excellent, especially the braised tofu and the king oyster mushrooms. The miso soup is also recommended 👍

Very good and beautifully presented food! We'd love to come back

Fully vegan izakaya! I do wish (hence 4 stars for food) there was a bigger range of options to order from - like vegan versions of the classics they serve at the non-vegan location. Otherwise great place - as of December 2024 payment was only possible with cash or EC Karte.

Super delicious, vegan sushi in unusual compositions and beautifully prepared. The staff was quick and friendly and the restaurant was cozy. You sit pretty close to the tables next to you, Friday evening it was full and correspondingly loud but it didn't detract from the positive overall impression :)

I used to LOVE this place. I'm not vegan myself but this was my favourite sushi place in Berlin. However on my last take away I was very disappointed. The sushi size was much smaller than usual. Flavour was off. The usual sauces they put on some of the sushi was barely there and the rice as old and dry. You could not pick up one piece of sushi without it crumpling up to bits. I had to eat it with a spoon ( not even a fork) because chopsticks was out of questions. So disappointed. The seaweed that goes on one of the sushi types that's usually my favourite tasted really funky. I couldn't eat it. Yeah. All in all I probably won't ever go back. My second to last trip there was already a drop in quality now this. Very sad

Delicious vegetarian food. The Japanese curry and the Tokatsu ramen are highly recommended.

The food was truly a 10/10! Super tasty ramen and the dessert was also perfectly seasoned. The service was friendly but very hectic and short. However, the restaurant absolutely does not invite you to linger. Although the restaurant looks very nice, the ambience is unfortunately not so nice. The entire store is very loud and hectic. There are a lot of tables in the narrow aisle, so you feel like you're sitting in the way. Since the aisle is so narrow, you often get bumped into :( so we left immediately after eating, even though we would have liked to have something to drink. A new arrangement of the tables would make a big difference here.

There was very tasty food! I had also tried the others and every dish had tasted good so far.

Amazing food and ambiance. The atmosphere is great for a lazy lunch or dinner on a cold day. Sushi and ramen were really good. Panna cotta must try.

I was enjoying the food, first time eating in a Japanese restaurant so I took some sushi and the vegan chicken roll was delicious 😋 It was with a cream and it is so much better in my opinion than with soy or teriyaki. And I took guiza for take away, the waitress was recommended I will check it out too.

It wasn't bad, but unfortunately my curry dish didn't arrive hot and with the gyoza I found the sauces on top a bit too much.

If you feel the need for some comfort food on a cold day, then you've come to the right place 😊 Finely filled sushi in a crispy shell topped with aromatic almond flakes and then two wonderfully nourishing and strengthening ramen, what more could you want 😉 We felt good and are heading home with Happy Belly 🤗✨️

The vegan Tantan Ramen is simply delicious! We can't eat ramen anywhere else since this discovery!

Amazing vegan sushi and really nice staff. Would absolutely recommend coming.

Super delicious food! And very nice service (:

Super delicious food and perfect for vegan people, if you just don't want to think about what you can order. :D Had a starter combo of the agedashi mochi and tofu sukiyaki, both very good and big enough servings to feel like a meal, but leave room for dessert.

Fast, friendly service. Solid ambience and really great food. I had maki and wonton ramen. Delicious!

All very tasty. Have ordered across the board

The sushi is very good both normal rolls and in/out ones. Starters were also very good

Amazing food. Ordered Ramen and sushi. Ramen broth was light and delicious. Sushi was fresh. But had to wait over an hour for our order.

All delicious, first time trying vegan sushi, and it was a nice surprise!! We will definitely return

Wonderful experience at Iro. A well-extensive menu, with a wide variety of dishes. We opted for a menu offering miso soup and an assortment of sushi and maki for 2 people. Amazing ! We will have to come back to try other dishes.

Very tasty and super fast service

Really good vegan Japanese place. Food was very unique and delicious. They have put a lot of thought into which products recreates the texture of different sushi. I would recommend their platters if you're going in a group.

Ramen was really good! Also, super cosy ambience and vibes ✨ Cucumber salad was amazing😍

Very tasty, seasoned to perfection, quick service. The food menu strikes a balance between “varied” and “clear”, the drinks menu is kept short, but the lemonades are very distinctive and the teas are well selected. A nice little point: every type of tea comes in a matching pot

The Moshi Agedashi are absolute hamma. The Tantan Ramen and the Shoyu Ramen were mega. We'll definitely be back.

Bad service. Despite reservations, no table was reserved. First we were made to follow and then suddenly we stopped. Then we were given a completely uncomfortable table right next to the drafty door with a side stool - even though there was definitely a free table. No thanks.

Very tasty fried sushi. We have now tried them all and always enjoy coming back. My favorite is the “Halloween” sushi.

Amazing! Ramen is very tasty and the waitress are super nice. Really recommended!

really delicious, best vegan ramen of my life

nice atmosphere, amazing food and really good service. They're really attentive!! Such a comfortable experience. Gonna come visit again for sure

Wow wow wow, what a great meal that was! The dishes were excellently prepared and tasted just as great. BEST SUSHI IN TOWN! If we didn't live in Switzerland, we would come here to eat every day. We can definitely recommend it =D

We had the sushi for 2 which comes on a beautifully decorated rack. Loved everything about it! Will definitely come back and recommend to friends 👌

I'm not much of a vegan, but it was very tasty 😋. It is very well attended. A reservation is recommended. I liked it and can recommend it with a clear conscience. 👍

The crispy rolls are extremely delicious. The rest of the food I’ve tried was average. Although it was disappointing that you can pay only with cash (3 stars review is mostly because of that - as a tourist, it is very inefficient).

very tasty Japanese curry! good selection of vegan sushi. 👌 Card payment only from 30 euros.

Pay only with cash or EC card...

The restaurant offers very tasty, completely vegan food, which really impressed me. The ambience is particularly pleasant: stylish and inviting, so you immediately feel at home. The service is also commendable – attentive and friendly. However, there was one big drawback for me: the payment options. In 2024, in addition to cash, only debit cards (from €30 🥴) will be accepted here. This creates unnecessary inconvenience and really seems like it's out of time.

Extremely delicious vegan ramen. I always enjoy coming by when I'm in Berlin.

We had the Shoyu Ramen and thought it was delicious! The noodles and broth tasted great and the portion size was also very appropriate We'd love to come back!

Atmospheric Japanese vegan restaurant. Frame, bibimbap and sushi (especially the variant for 2,3 or 4 people is very nicely presented.

Delicious vegan ramen! And a very nice ambient.

Really great vegan place with good attention to detail in the dishes. Everything was really tasty, and there were a lot of options to choose from. The service was great and fast, and they even treat us with a little invention from the chef for free :) The quality price ratio was fair due to the complexity of the sushi pieces and dishes. The place was also very cozy.

Seldom eaten as deliciously as here. An absolute recommendation!

Tantan Ramen Large selection, very tasty food and cozy atmosphere.

Cozy furnishings, the food was tasty (recommended: edamame hummus with mushrooms and truffle oil) and the staff was great

The mochi ice cream was super delicious! We'd love to come back :)

Ordered to take away. Very dear waitress, I had a ramen trauma from another restaurant, which is now over, thank you for that 😍, it was delicious. Very spicy and salty, which is why I diluted it a lot with water.

Tantan Ramen and Shirunashi Udon perfect 🫶🏼

Amazing variety of vegan ramen! Tempura avocado was also great

The miso ramen was watery and lacked any real flavour. No sesame or Togarashi on the table to season. The eggplant was also still cold/frozen in the middle?! The gyoza was predominantly mushroom and was ok at best. Highlight was the yuzu ginger tea.

Skillfully prepared plant- and fungi-based dishes that anyone can enjoy, even if you are not a vegan. 7 'starters' were easily enough for 3 people, though we did also order a curry, which was tasty too. My personal favourites were Agedashi Mochi, perfect texture and balanced flavour, and Edamame Hummus, very intense an tasty. Sakura cocktail was lovely, if you like sweet drinks, Yuzu Fizz was very refreshingand balanced, and the Miso Sour was quite unusual and exciting. Will definitely come back and try their sushi too.
