Quaint and unexpected - Edit
I have always liked Japanese food, but feel rather suspicious, so it was a surprise to find a Vegan Japanese restaurant.

My partner definitely is less adventurous but she found the perfect dish for her.
Well worth going.
Pros: Really delicious food, Great selection of Sake, A variety of options

Itadakizen is a beautiful place to visit. It feels like experiencing beautiful, authentic, elevated home-cooking. There's always a calm and quiet atmosphere here, and it's a gorgeous old venue. The menu is always hard to choose from!

Delicious food and calming atmosphere - Edit
The ramens, gyoza, tempura, and mochis were all delicious!!! I got the spicy ramen and finished every single drop. The passionfruit mochi was especially yummy too. Very sweet servers and I loved the atmosphere too - very quiet with calming piano music playing in the background.

Fantastic as always - Edit
We stopped over in Shrewsbury right before a major hiking trip in North Wales. Having regularly gone to the Kings Cross branch in London, it was pleasant knowing there is a branch here. The menu is different, however, the taste is as good as ever!

Yummy food and lovely staff - Edit
Bento box was generally yummy, as were the dumplings and ramen. Felt like some things could’ve had a bit more flavor, but overall it was delicious as always and I’ll definitely be back.

Gorgeous food and lovely ambience - Edit
It was our second time visiting this lovely little restaurant situated in a gorgeous historic building. Our food was really flavoursome and gluten free options were good. Bit shocked to see items made from sheep wool (which state that they are eco as from slaughtered sheep?) for sale in their little shop.

Pros: Fully vegan restaurant , Dog friendly , Gluten free options
Cons: Selling sheep wool items in their shop

Love the food, wish it was open more - Edit
We especially enjoy the ramen and bento box at this place. The gyoza are fantastic. Mushroom croquettes and a recent marinated tofu steak special are wonderful. We love visiting this place.
