Overview & Thoughts

Although Neko Neko is not a vegan restaurant, its vegan offering is pretty impressive. “Neko” means cat in Japanese, and that’s why you’ll find a lot of cat-themed decor here, perfect for cat lovers like myself.


Their ramen is entirely vegan, and there are quite a few other vegan dishes on the menu as well.


I tried the vegan tan tan ramen, which has chewy ramen noodles with a decent broth. It would be even better if the mince tasted less like TVP. The vegan superfood agedashi tofu & eggplant teishoku meal set is a delightful assortment of tofu, eggplant, pickles, veggies, and rice. However, the eggplant, agedashi tofu bowl is rather oily.


Their vegan gyoza is a must-try. It’s soft, flavourful, and crispy. And don't miss their housemade soy matcha latte. It's rich, delicious, and comes in a cute little bottle.
