• Best Japanese vegan in town

For a good while in victoria, being vegan and going out for japanese meant some pretty generic maki and maybe a single interesting vegan roll. No longer - the Vegan Teishoku on offer here is hands down the best vegan Japanese food you can have in town. The teishoku was quite delicious and seemed a pretty great value considering the variety of food that came with it. The print menu doesn't yet have the vegan teishoku listed. I'm a bit shy about ordering off-menu, but when I asked about the vegan dish they had on their facebook page they knew exactly what I wanted. It was prepared quickly and matched the facebook picture exactly. After our meal the head chef came out (whom interestingly was cooking in the back kitchen and not preparing sushi at the bar) and checked up on us. He's interested in creating more vegan dishes and said he'd be happy to rotate different dishes into the teishoku should I become tired of the same options. My dining companion was impressed with the quality and presentation of the non-vegan dishes, so consider this a place that will suit a mixed vegan/non-vegan group.
