Jumon in Belfast

Been here with family and friends on multiple occasions and we always have a great time.

Awesome place, lovely vibes and food!

If you are coming to Belfast and not eating at Jumon, you are missing out so, so much. The food, service and the kindness of the staff is just commendable. Lucy and Callum, thank you again for your 5 star hospitality! Lucy you really do rock! Keep rocking. I will make sure my friends know about Jumon back in NYC! And I will definitely come back to Belfast, mostly for Jumon! Thank you!

Jumon is amazing! My husband and I went our first night of visiting Belfast, and we had absolutely incredible service and somehow, even better food. They also have great cocktails. We loved our ramen so much that we decided to go back the next night so we could enjoy it one last time before our trip in Belfast was over. Great variety of options for both starters and main courses, we would’ve tried the whole menu if we had time. I cannot recommend this place enough! Wonderful food, atmosphere, and service. If you are visiting Belfast this place is a MUST (now open a restaurant in canada pls!)

Honestly one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to. The food is superb, staff is very welcoming and friendly. I would recommend sticking with the starters, my least favourite dish was the main. The cigar rolls and miso hummus are perfection. Can’t wait to come back to Belfast just to go to Jumon.

Excellent food, staff & ambience. This restaurant deserves all the praise it gets. That miso hummus is worryingly good

Food was decent & service was stressed & a bit slow to give menus, take orders & get the bill. We did eat in on a busy Saturday night however I'd assume it was normal for them. It's a wee bit expensive but to be expected for a central, veg-friendly hip place. Atmosphere was good.

Absolutely lovely food and great options for vegetarians.

The food was very good!, the ramen is quite spicy if you like spicy if not I recommend to pick other options, the starters where really good, as the drinks, the prices were elevated, as food in Belfast I guess!

Jumon has been my destination of choice since it first opened. I've spent many anniversaries here and meals with friends. Last night was such a let down, as many restaurant, the price of everything has sky rocketed and I feel I can no longer justify £17 for a main that didn't reflect that price. The margarita was the biggest let down as it tasted like nothing and I immediately regretted ordering it the second I took my first sip. My table tried it and agreed it was diluted by syrups. The Kanden Kurry tasted like a jar of Tesco's premade curry in a jar. The food has always been 11/10 for me in here as the starters were always the highlight of the night but our table agreed that the mains were disappointing for the amount you pay. Service was always phenomenal and the two waitresses were helpful and attentive. As mentioned this is always our go to in the city centre but I may have to choose other places for dining with friends.

Very tasty vegetarian food and really friendly service 👍

Had the Dan Dan broth it was so beautiful and the staff were really attentive, favourite food spot in Belfast

Delicious food and friendly staff. There's a pretty good selection of food and the service was pretty quick. Portions seem a bit small but it fills you up. Would recommend getting a small and a large dish.

Really delicious food with a great vegan selection. I would love to try more of the menu.

Tuesday night: Hours say they close at 10pm Female says kitchen is closed When I ask what time the kitchen closes usually, she said 9pm on weekdays. It was 8:45pm when I asked her. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME HERE

Adore Jumon. I am mostly plant based and this place is quite simply delicious. Have been a few times - each time it is always very busy and in demand. Highly recommend the honey cauliflower. Helpful staff who do try, service can get a little slow/forgetful, which I forgive as it does be busy. Tables can be quite pushed for space between though it strangely works and adds to the feel. Anyone new I've introduced who are avid meat fans are so pleasantly surprised and impressed plants can taste so good.

Simply amazing food, great atmosphere and good cocktails 👌🏻 I’m not even vegetarian but still loved it. They’re kimchi is to die for!

Good food but terribly slow service. After I finished the appetizer, no one showed up for about 20 minutes to ask if I wanted to order main course or other apps. I had to ask the server from another table if someone can take my order. The restaurant was fairly busy but this sort of service is a no go.

Great place for vegans. Food is excellent and staff were lovely too! Highly recommend if you ever visit Belfast! ❤️

Had the Dan Dan noodles and a cured/marinated egg thing. Absolutely delicious and one of the most satisfying veggie meals I've ever had. Highly recommend.

Super tasty food! We had the KFB and the GadoGado salad. Great atmosphere and friendly efficient staff.

Really lovely to see many vegan options. They interior and the staff are lovely as well. The taste of the plates was not bad in the beginning, and the portion sizes are good. As you keep eating it feels like many things are mixed together, without really thinking whether they actually work well together, so something about the taste is a bit off. Noodles also are a bit too soft, but that might be personal preference. Their kimchi is really good though.

Delicious and inventive food, came very fast and fresh. Service was pretty slow (took us 30min to get out order in after) and unresponsive. Not sure if it’s just tonight or the usual

Prices on the website for "Big" plates is £14 yet in store we were surprised to find them all at £17. This, on top of the fact that portions do not reflect the price in my opinion. The JFK cauliflower was lovely, however it was only about 5/6 small pieces for £9. Despite this, the large plates were still good and were served quickly which was nice. However for 2 people with one big plate and a small plate to share it came to £47 with a 10% service charge which I think is not applicable to a party of 2 people. Overall I think Jumon is a good spot and we got served quickly with good food, but given the cost of living crisis I think restaurants in Belfast should try and make an effort to provide good value to customers, as I will likely not be returning for a while despite how good the food is. This is one of the best spots for vegetarians in Belfast as the entire menu is vegetarian and I think Jumon should really make the most of that given how lacking vegetarian options are in Belfast.

Does this restaurant deserve the hype surrounding it? No! With 8 tables you are waiting ages to be served and servers will not take you to such tables- you will be pointed towards the table. Savoury food was decent enough but brownie on the chocolate mousse was hard as a rocket- having worked in a restaurant before it’s most likely been sitting there for ages Truly a shame because the concept is top notch

Blown away by this place. The staff are so nice and welcoming, and I can't remember the last time I literally wanted everything on the menu like when I saw the menu here. So many interesting dishes, either new twists on old classics or original intriguing creations. The ones we ordered were just as good as they sounded, if not better. Classic stuff like kimchi was perfect, and new things like aubergine and mozzarella spring rolls were delicious. My new favourite veggie restaurant. I just wish I lived closer to it, but we will be back.

Walked in with a friend with no booking and was sat immediately, expansive menu and beautifully decorated interior.

Sensational food obviously prepared by people who know their craft well. Great service too. Best to book to avoid disappointment - quite a few late diners were turned away as the kitchen was closed.

Food is lovely. I could eat here every week...it's the waiting staff who are the issue. Yes they look incredibly trendy and alternative but they spend more time looking in the mirror than doing their job. We ordered our food and drinks( not from the girl who was supposed to be looking after us). After that no one came to lift plates/ order more drinks and see if we needed anything because theyre all chatting and its seems like the customers are ruining their time together. We could easily have spent another £50 in the restaurant but we got fed up and paid the bill and left. Food is great but some of the staff are draining and dizzy...get rid of the mirrors they mite do some work but no doubt they'll find a shiny surface somewhere to look at

Wow this place is amazing, great decor, friendly staff, fast service but most of all the food was so good. I had the peanut curry which was very flavoursome with good taste and textures. I’d come back to Belfast just for the peanut curry

Probably thee best restaurant in Belfast for vegetarians. I'm not one myself but my partner is. The food is simply beautiful, well.cooked food. Please do yourself a favour and try the crispy honey cauliflower, it is honestly a taste sensation. Go once and you will want to go again, like we did.

Frack me!! Lovely VEGAN food!! Wowza!! Will come here again!! Great service and ambiance!!

One of the best dining experiences in Belfast! The food is incredible and the employees are so nice and service is quick! Highly recommend.

If I could give 3.5 stars I would as the service was excellent. I came as a walk in and they told me I could have a table for an hour. Skeptical that I could eat that quickly, I tentatively agreed having been reassured that would be plenty of time. The food came very quickly (less than 10 mins after ordering), which is fine as I was dining for one but might be a bit fast if you wanted to be social. The JFK was delicious but the spring rolls and dumplings average and my dessert (chocolate mousse) was very disappointing. Just a basic mousse really with a raspberry sorbet. Hence 3 stars. All in all a mixed bag. It does rather feel as though they are trying to get as many people through the door as possible.

Great place for vegetarian food - recommended.

Food delicious, drinks lovely and fresh and staff excellent

Amazing Asian fusion vegetarian restaurant. I wanted to try everything and the 3 small dishes I ordered where all delicious. The atmosphere and decor is great and the service really friendly. If I was staying longer in Belfast, I’d definitely go back!

Absolutely fantastic- one of the best veg/vegan restaurants we have ever been to! Highly recommend

A zen and delicious little find. Went in on a Thursday and Saturday evening without a reservation and ordered a few things from the menu (all were very good), staff was very friendly and seats near the window are a wonderful spot for people-watching.

Incredible menu with the most exciting and delicious vegan dishes. We ordered most of the small plates to share between 3, and we were really impressed with all the food that came out, it was all beautifully presented and in generous portions.The cocktails were great too. Nice atmosphere and décor inside the restaurant. A real treat!

My daughter chose the restaurant and I was a little reserved when I saw the limited menu. Shouldn’t have worried , the food was hot and very tasty. Restaurant is small and tables are close together but it didn’t feel claustrophobic. Food came quickly and we weren’t rushed out. The menu is small but you can choose a mixture of main and small dishes. Service is included in bill. There was no reason to refuse to pay it though waiter did very little but I would have like to choose myself what to pay.

Food and services here are exceptional. The chefs cook great dishes that are full of flavour and served at pace. Love it, will come here again and again.

Very tasty, something different in taste and very creative. Food came very quickly, service was nice but not particularly noteworthy. Pleasant atmosphere. This is how vegetarian food should taste, rarely so good and creative! Particularly delicious: the cauliflower (JFK) 😋

Pad Thai ordered. It was tasty and filling. Good service, great atmosphere. Food was served quickly. Fantastic music played too!

Very pleasant place, very good food, especially for those who like spicy food and perfect for vegetarians. Service could be a little more friendly, but we'll be back with pleasure.

Great food at Jumon Incantation Vegetarian and Vegan restaurant in the city of Belfast. What a find. Atmosphere and service outstanding. If you are in Belfast even as a carnivore check this place out. GadoGado and Cigar Rolls for starters, Hungley Malayoo Peanut Curry and Kundan Kurry for mains followed by a Dark and Hoppy and Fogcutter cocktail.

This place is great, lovely options, quick and friendly service, amazing food.

Nice place, very friendly waiters, very good oriental style food

Excellent vegetarian restaurant, for those who like spicy food!

Food was really tasty but small portions which don’t live up to the price. I had the Sayur Lodeh curry which was really tasty, especially the jack fruit which was filling but my partner eats a lot and although his pad Thai was tasty there just wasn’t enough of it for him. Cool decor and plates!

Best food I’ve ever had Reed Steph Callum Connor and Sarah are the only reason I’ve stayed in belfast

If you come to Belfast and you don't eat here you're a wee eejit. Reed, Steph, Callum, Connor and especially Sarah are absolute diamonds.

First time here won't be the last! Amazing staff Amazing food Catered to two very different dietary needs can't wait to return!!

All dishes are VEGETARIAN or VEGAN.

an absolutely fantastic dinner! the place is super cute, just a great vibe, i love the artwork that was all over the walls. the drinks were delicious, lots of cocktail options, we got a nice bottle of wine that was extremely well priced. the dinner items themselves were so good. the kfb (broccoli) was well made, the chaat potatoes was probably my favorite, the fried rice was good (not great), and the tofu was really well made. oh and the spring roll with eggplant in it was SO YUMMY! Really fantastic place, can't go wrong with almost anything here. Service was also really good - loved this place.

The vibe is super chilled out - the staff all look happy which makes a really nice atmosphere. We went for the small plates to share - I think most people would only need 4 of the small plates between two. I was sharing with a husband who is a starvo - we went for 5 and had leftover. Menu has lots to choose from - I don't mind paying a little more than normal when it's this good. Only thing that wasn't as good (but still tasty) was the kecap manis rice. A little undercooked for my liking but everything else more than made up for it. Thanks Jumon for a nice wee night and great food and lovely staff!!

First time for a friend's home hen and were all blown away! So cosy and such delicious food. Staff were all lovely, will be back!

I love this place and had only had previous positive experience with unreal food and service, however this time me and my partner had booked a table and ended up running 5 mins late(which we called ahead and let them know we would be) we arrived at 6:20 for our 6:15 booking and were told we would have to wait on a few tables that were just paying to be free again for us, which we understood as we were late (even if we did notify them) we were told to sit at the bar and we watched 3/4 tables be cleared and we were still not sat after 20/25 mins. then a big party of 10-15 people arrived and were sat at other tables. we ended up leaving as we did not want to be behind a big group order of food as we were hungry. so dissapointed because the food is so unreal. we will return and just hope it doesnt happen again!

Great place for some food and drinks

Great food, good vibes and friendly staff :) So many options to choose from, we shared a table full of delicious small dishes

Best meal I’ve had all year, the staff were very friendly and great atmosphere! 10/10 would recommend to a friend

Absolutely brilliant, the food, service and vibe are all absolute perfection.

Gonna put it very simply. Great food, great service. Local beers, what more can a person ask for. We literally went on the waiters' recommendations for food for 4 sharing. It didn't disappoint. Looking forward to going back.

Was very well looked after despite an error on our part when booking. The food here is truly unique for belfast, incredibly tasty and innovative. Some lovely cocktails and a great selection of beers and wine. A nice, happy and enthusiastic team

I recently had the pleasure of dining at a vibrant spot on Belfast’s Fountain Street, which left our taste buds buzzing with excitement. The place is a treasure trove for those who cherish a big focus on flavors, especially with an Asian-inspired twist. The atmosphere is unrivalled, teeming with energy, and complements the dining experience with its carefully curated selection of love-fuelled cocktails, wines, beers, and other drinks. It’s an ambiance that sets the stage for an unforgettable meal. We kicked off our culinary journey with the Jiaozi - an appetizer that instantly set the bar high. These were not your ordinary dumplings; each bite was a burst of unique flavors that are hard to find elsewhere. They were an excellent introduction to the restaurant’s innovative approach to traditional dishes. Moving on to the mains, we dared to dive into the fiery depths of their Malacca Laksa and Jumon Dandan noodles. Both dishes were a testament to the chef’s prowess in creating a harmonious blend of spices that ignite the palate. The Asian fusion twist added an unexpected but delightful complexity to the flavors. However, a word of caution to those who might not fancy the heat as much – these dishes pack a spicy punch that can challenge even the bravest spice lovers. In all, our dining experience was nothing short of spectacular. The restaurant on Fountain Street is a must-visit for anyone looking to explore Asian-inspired dishes with a bold flavor profile, all set within an electric atmosphere. Whether you’re in for the drinks or the delectable dishes, you’re in for a treat that’s sure to tantalize your senses. Just remember to gauge your spice tolerance before diving into the more fiery options on the menu!

Always love the food in here! All vegan and dog friendly. My go to place for a yummy meal and great drinks.

Exceptional vegan food. First time there and we will be back again soon.

Ate in this restaurant last night. Absolutely blown away with the flavours and quality of the food and cocktails. It's also a trendy little place with friendly staff. Highly recommended!

Quirky, atmospheric, bustling, great vibe. Cocktails! Yep! Excellent! Food SENSATIONAL! I'm not a veggie but this food is probably the best I've had ever! The flavours, the taste, the choice! The service. I'd fly back to Belfast every weekend just to go here!

One of the best vegetarian restaurants I’ve ever been to (been veggie 7 years). The menu was so extensive and varied that we had such a tough time choosing. We wound up going for 6 of the sharing plates between two - which was more than enough. The sesame cauliflower, dumplings, and Korean fried broccoli are an absolute must. We’ll be back to try the larger plates - the tacos looked sensational. Staff were lovely and highly attentive too :)

Had a great meal, the food was incredible and the service was decent. Good work

I’ve travelled the world, and this is my favourite restaurant of all time. I love it so much - I love everything about it! I go nearly every time I’m in Belfast and I bring everyone I know here. The most amazing food & great craic with the staff. ❤️❤️❤️

Love the food! The cocktails are also amazing! On the expensive side but really worth it! Have been there multiple times but never been disappointed ♥️

Have visited Jumon multiple times before and the food and service has always been brilliant. But this evening, after ordering 5 dishes and 4 drinks between my partner and I, half-way through eating our main meal we were told we needed to leave as soon as our main was finished. We had only been at the table for 1hr 15mins and asked why we had been allowed to order so much if the table turnaround was so limited. We were given a few mumbled apologies but still asked to leave as soon as we finished eating. I’ve never felt so rushed or unwelcome. Such a disappointment to see a great local restaurant prioritise fast food and quick turnarounds over service, experience and its loyal customer base. When you’re paying over £50 per head and getting less table time than at a McDonald’s, something has gone wrong. Needless to say, the 1hr 15mins policy that we were told was on the website, does not exist. Either on the website or the table reservation page.

Starters good, mains too fried and fatty. Couldn’t finish. Waiter disinterested. Music way too loud! We love fresh tasting Asian food . Wagamamas needs to open in Belfast

Fabulous meal. Excellent food. Amazing quality for the price. Each plate was like a work of art. Service was perfect too.

Delicious food. Friendly service.

Dinner was very good with a variety of options to choose from. Waitstaff friendly too! Desert wasn’t something I would recommend.

Really good food here. Went for 5 small plates to share between two of us. With a few recommendations from the staff. Enjoyed everything we tried and if I didn't live in London I'd definitely go back to try the dishes I didn't get to! We had: Gadogado - 5 star JFK - 5 star Jiaozi - 4 star KMP - 4 star Cigar Rolls - 3.5 star Gadogado and and JFK stole the show, great flavours and would make and eat at home if I could! For drinks had the passion fruit ice tea and a cocktail that we cannot remember the name of but again very nice if not slightly on the sweet side for our tastes. Good atmosphere, with music that is not too loud so you can actually have a conversation. Attentive and friendly staff with very quick service. Highly recommend!

Managed to get a walk in table at 845pm on a Friday night. It was busy and had a great atmosphere. Unfortunately a few items on the menu were unavailable but still plenty of options. Amazing veggie and vegan food choice. Cauliflower (JFK) was incredible, a must try. Service was brilliant with recommendations and efficient.

It's vegan, no fish/meat options

Such a gorgeous selection of small and large plates and cocktails. Adored the broccoli, cauliflower and tofu small plates … and the coconut margaritas… yum!

Nice atmosphere and great service, lots of vegetarian and vegan things to try. Great place with some of the best food that I've tried, the kimchi ramen was 10/10 and the JFK was 100/10 easily one of the best things I have ever had in a restaurant. A bit overpriced for the portion sizes tbh, that's why only 4 stars. Would definitely come back for special occasions.

Fabulous food that caters well for coeliacs and service that is so individual even in a busy Christmas season

I'm no vegan but Jumon dandan really didnt lack anything. Maybe except for fire extinguisher.

Mi curry estupendo, los sabores me encantaron, punto medio de picante y buena cantidad el plato grande para una persona. Original y servicio amable. La cocina abre hasta relativamente tarde para ser Reino Unido, lo cual es interesante.

Absolutely gorgeous vegetarian food! Extremely filling, full of flavour, would definitely recommend. I’d urge anyone going here to try some of the small plates too; especially the Korean fried broccoli (menu item KFB) and the loaded fries (menu item KMP). Staff were friendly, attentive and helpful too, telling us everything we needed to know about the menu.

Food was absolutely amazing and the staff were so lovely!

Fantastic, well done. Amazing vegi food. Thanks to Stephanie for looking after us!

Wow, the spices in the ramen blew my socks off. Very spicy for me but I could totally handle it, in fact, I LOVED it. 😍 This was a great heat. Multi-layered and super flavorful. The dumplings were tasty too, and not spicy. Prices were on the high side but quality was also superb. I love that they are plant-based. Only vegitarian and vegan dishes. I put 4 stars for atmosphere because I found the music loud and a little much for me, but I am a sensitive. I could see how other people would enjoy it. Also! Possibly the best kombucha, aside from home-made, I have ever tasted! ☺️

Gorgeous food. The JL Chip small plate in particular was amazing. So great to see someone with a focus on vegetarian/ vegan. My husband is neither and he loved his food! I will definitely be back.

Decent food, good drinks but felt more like a cafe than a restaurant. The emphasis was get the food out, to get the next table seated. Restaurant felt very cramped due to trying to fit as many tables as possible in, staff member friendly but unfortunately not the experience we were looking for.

Try the JFK when your their. Its really good.

Second visit. Excellent food. Especially recommend the famous JFK cauli ‘wings’ - just wow 🤩, completely addicted. The kimchi made in-house is one of the best I’ve had, the Korean fried broccoli was fantastic, I loved the crispy cigars.. just an all round great meal!!! Lovely people too. Definitely recommend for something different and really really tasty!

Dog sat at the table across from us ON THE CHAIRS. Shaking and could see the hairs flying off it. Disgusting. The staff memeber didn’t wash the seats down and there was a puddle of liquid on the floor where the dog was initially. Unsure if it was urine. I have flagged this with The local council’s environmental health team. But I think everyone should be aware this place allows this but it isn’t clear. Also when you enter and leave you’re greeted with the smell of staff standing outside smoking at the door.

Where to begin, amazing food, the people were just lovely, kind, friendly, everything you want and more, this isn’t just dinner, it’s an experience, the atmosphere the way the servers engage with you, amazing service and the food is to die for, fantastic flavour, vegan food done properly, tasteful, by talented chefs and people who know how to cook.. particularly recommend the JFK (small plate) and the “chat me up” amazing dishes you will not regret. Get yourself down to Jumon don’t even second guess this review.

Really great vegan food in Belfast! One of my favorite restaurants I ate at while on holiday here. I had the ramen and the cauliflower bites (not technically vegan since they have honey) but wow everything was great! Really cool atmosphere and great service as well. Wish I was there for longer so I could have eaten there again!

First time being there the table was very sticky needs good scrub..waiting to long for my food because they had to cook potatoes which wasn't what I ordered..then got a bottle of beer which someone had already had a drink out of it that was quickly taken away with the glass..so won't be back..

The sides and the drinks were fantastic. I did not like the main I ordered, named the Hungly, it was a mixture of many different flavours that was not pleasant at all, it was no asian, nor fusion. It didnt taste good. It seemed like a mix of different leftovers of asian food with mostard and it had big pieces of whole pepper. Please revise your mains and it should taste like asian food if it says asian fusion.

Great food, cool place and nice service
