While it feels almost like walking into someone's living room, a friend recommended this place and I was looking forward to sampling some Japanese vegan fare. The service was a bit all over the place (especially as we appeared to be the only non-staff members present). While attractively presented, the dishes - which were $14.50 each - were bland and uninspiring at best. My dining companion had the 'lemongrass udon noodles with vegetables and tofu', which appeared to be made with processed lemongrass sauce (i.e. no fresh herbs were used), almost no tofu, and the only vegetables present were a few pieces of mushroom, lettuce and grated carrot. My 'spicy miso udon noodle soup' tasted like a dollop of miso in boiling water, and the only vegetables present were a few pieces of seaweed, grated carrot and a couple of mushrooms (again with hardly any tofu). When I go out to eat and pay a premium for the privilege, I expect a little more for $50+ than what essentially amounts to a glass each of wine and a couple of bowls of udon noodles with garnish.
