• Tofu like you've never experienced

The food at Mamehachi was incredible. We tried and loved the many tofu options and variations of it. However, we had a frosty welcome from the start - there seemed to be some uncertainty when we arrived even though it was only 8.30pm and many seats available. Luckily we were allowed but the chef was not as welcoming to our requests for vegetarian options as in some previous reviews. We noticed we were treated differently from other patrons, not the usual, kind, Japanese service. But we persisted and stayed on, choosing from various options (from the English menu) and ordering a number of times. It was an extravagant dinner for our usual Japanese dining standards, yet we enjoyed it. Unsure if we need to go back but definitely an experience for anyone interested in tofu and its many possibilities.
