The location comparison

BranchPublished location
Shinjuku LUMINELUMINE 1 B2F, 1-1-5 Nishishinjuku
Shinjuku SumitomoB1F, 2-6-1 Nishishinjuku

The different street numbers and basement levels matter. A meeting at one should not be routed to the other simply because both search results contain Shinjuku and AFURI.

Plan from your actual starting point

Choose the branch after comparing the route from your station exit, hotel or attraction. Retain the floor information for the final indoor approach. Ask about access arrangements if stairs, lifts or a stroller affect your group; this article does not verify an accessible route.

For food, request the specifically listed Rainbow Vegan Ramen and reconfirm its availability. Standard ramen and optional additions need their own ingredient checks. The vegan option does not establish halal status for the restaurant. Verify current service hours separately instead of assuming that the two buildings follow one schedule.
