Ballon in Tokyo

Top falafel.Delicious ice cream.Perfect place for a quick and healthy bite.

Popped in here for a quick lunch today and had the spicy falafel. Made fresh, lots of salad, with some sort of delicious sauce on top that tasted of smoked paprika. The aubergine was a nice addition. Has a small indoor seating area. Also has vegan soft serve ice cream with lots of different toppings. Friendly service and English menu.

It was delicious. The falafel was quite authentic, I think. The bread is nice but too fluffy compared to pita bread. I ordered a regular sized falafel bread with coriander, and it cost over a 1000 yen, which I thought was a bit expensive for a street food.

Great falafel! All vegan including the ice cream!

Felafel sandwich and berry soy milkshake, both very tasty and refreshing in summer

The best place I know for vegan Ice cream in Tokyo. The falafel are also delicious. Theres some seats to sit if this is not too crowded. As this is also close from Naka-Meguro, this is a good stop while visiting the city! Employees are also very nice!

The food is good but be prepared to sit eating a wall

Found this place when walking to blue bottle. Very tasty falafel 🥙 sandwiches. They also have 🧆 bowls. Limited to 6 seats inside but they put out benches in the front too. They also have soft 🍦 serve. 4⭐ because I ordered coriander sandwich for ¥100 extra but they got my order wrong and I got the reg sandwich with no coriander 😭😭😭

I went to this place with one of my friend and we had falafel sandwich which tastes amazing. The falafels and the eggplants will be cooked after your order, so you can enjoy fresh warm sandwich!Also you should definitely try the vegan ice-cream which is also incredible.

Falafel taste was average and was nice except that the stuff kept on falling out

I cry every time I eat their falafel sandwich.

Great food, but rather pricey

Simply bad food. They have no idea of what is real pitabread...to avoid!

The regular sized, basic falafel sando was delicious! Would recommend, especially if you’re checking out the sakura close by!

Very delicious and homey.

AMAZING FALAFELS AND SUCH FRIENDLY WORKERS!The vegan ice cream with the pistachio crumble was so delicious, as well as the almond latte! Definitely recommend:))

Vegan choices a rarity! Savoury and sweet

One of the best place to enjoy falafel in Tokyo 😍

OMG, blown away by this amazing felafel cafe. We ordered the regular size felafel sandwich and one with coriander. The vegetables are so fresh and the felafel beautiful, the pita bread was the lightest I’ve tasted. Very friendly, clean place, they take credit card. English menu on hand makes everything very simple. Tea, cold drinks and soft serve ice cream, even hot tomato soup. Counter seating, a very relaxed modern feel. Highly recommend if you’re craving fresh vegetables.

Solid vegan fair with an eco-friendly approach. I’ve had the falafel twice and although they use just a little too much oil, there’s a nice mix of ingredients, including purple cabbage. Friendly staff.

had an almond latte, although its not on the menu, the staff was very kind and flexible. The coffee is on the fruity and sour side. Very good . the interior was stlyish and made the limited space look and feel spacier. I’m dying to try their vegan ice cream !

delicious, fresh, so so tasty! the coriander falafel was awesome, the soft serve (i had matcha & passion fruitwas delicious. seriously bomb vegan food, well worth a trip!

Excellent falafel salad bowl. The soy tomato soup was thick and creamy. The soy ice-cream is a nice treat with the toppings. Cozy bar seats 7 people.

Delicious and consistent! I love eating here.

Very yummy pittas! Tasty and vegan !

Ballon is our favourite vegan food joint in Tokyo! Located on such a nice street, this small cafe has lots of options, great portion sizes and delicious falafel/wraps/ice cream! Reasonable pricing too. At peak times it is very hard to find a seat due to the small capacity however, so get in quick!

Very tasty falafel pita but really small, even the regular size

Soft serve made of soy and amazake. Taste good. Less sugar.

Fresh vegan food. Oishi!!!

Delicious salad and falafel, very pleasant interior and friendly staff.

An elevated felafel sandwich. So good!

Good vegan falafel. Liked the colorful veggies.Would have liked if they have more options.

The food is good ..the sandwiches and felafel are nice ..there is only one soup available i.e. tomato which is okay but there is no option really..Plenty of soft serves ..which are good ...

Extremely delicious vegan falafel shop. Very close to naka-meguro station on your way to the meguro river or museums. Highly recommended!

OMGGG the falafel is so good! It is not quite what I would picture in a falafel, but it is topped with all sorts of veggies and is perfectly topped off with a slightly spicy sauce. The “soft serve” is also the perfect cold treat for a sticky summers day.

The falafel was pretty good but it was pretty expensive. The store is small with not a lot of variety on the menu. Theres not much else around the location too so only come if youre in the area. Its definitely better to do take out than stay and eat because theres not a lot of comfortable seating. The reason why I give it only two stars is that they offer free ice cream if you give a positive review on social media which I think is a bit dirty. So, I felt like I had been misled because of all the other positive reviews I saw before coming here. I dont like the idea of trying to use customers social media as advertising for their business through bribery.

The falafel here is amazing!

Falafel are excellent, several layers of flavors, just perfect !

Probably the best falafel I had in a while. Many layers, fresh and organic ingredients. Highly recommend it!

A place has Everything we like: Vegan. Organic. Natural taste from the ingredients.

This will change your perception about Vegan food (if you had onebeing not-as-tasty as "normal" food....its delicious! Gotta go back and try the vegan ice cream next time 🤤 and Im not even vegan.

The food is very delicious (except for the soy latte, which maybe I’m being a little bit too harsh lol)!!!Small size ”shop” and not really good location, but people filled it just 10 minutes after it opened, which proved its great taste!Non-vegan here but definitely will come back for more 😋I just wish they accept card payment in the future, and definitely want them to add more menus!Oh, and one more additional, the staff is a very good looking guy 😘

Definitely worth trying the Falafel! I did not expect much, but it was delicious.

Verrrry nice!It doesn’t taste like vegan, and is the most delicious sandwich I’ve ever eaten.

Delicious. Had vegan tomato soup with regular sandwich. The sandwich was a little difficult to eat but really good. There isnt much indoor sitting. We came close to closing time so this wasnt a problem.

A little place serving only falafel wraps and ice cream. The shop gave the wraps their own style and flavours and it was so tasty. Fresh vegetables and the falafel was smooth on the inside and crunchy on the outside.

Refreshing and light icecream with lots of topping options - love the pistachio crumble! Falafel is generous for the price and packed with fresh vegetables. Nice and quiet little spot with indoor and street-side seating - casual, hence why it is known as a stand. Delicious!

super tasty and filling falafel sandwich! loved the spicy harissa sauce! organic ice coffee is strong and smooth. cant wait to try vegan ice cream next time :)))

Love this 100% vegan falafel & ice-cream!! It takes only 5 minutes from Nakameguro Station, then you can find a lovely small falafel stand. Ballon serves really tasty falafel and vegan ice-cream made by soy milk and amazake(a sweet drink made from fermented rice). Stand is not so big, but really cozy and stylish! It worth to visit, even if you are not vegan!

Delicious falafel sandwich, great vegan food - very satisfied!!
