Tasty Japanese food

Sat at the bar and staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about their menu and what was vegan or not

Pros: Delicious tempura, Tasty okonimyaki

Cons: Fewer vegan options than other places, Okonimyaki could have used another sauce

Vegan okonomiyaki!

Okonomiyaki is one of my favorite foods, and Gaijin has been one of my favorite restaurants in Chicago, so now that I'm vegan, I was so excited to find out they have vegan options! They have 2 okonomiyakis that can be made vegan – tofu and veggie – a few appetizers, and mochi donuts. I got the tofu okonomiyaki, and it was delicious! It was savory and packed with flavor. I also got the bok choy which has scallions and sesame oil, which was great too.

Overall, very pleased with the vegan options and will definitely come back in the future.
