The Tea Was Good...

When you order things, you expect to get them as ordered. And when you dont, you expect to be treated a certain way. I ordered pepsie, I got diet coke. Who defaults to diet versions of soda when theres no mention of it on the menu?

Now I realize its not a vegan Place, but when you order cabbage and noodle soup you wouldnt expect huge chunks of meat in them, right? My mistake. And then when you complain about it you wouldnt expect them to lie to your face and say it was tofo, right? If this was tofu they must have gotten it straight from the future where living tofu beasts 3d printed by Bill Gates roam the human animal hybrid farms. In either case, they tried, and I wasnt as picky as I should have been with my choices. So im giving 3 stars.

Nice queer international vibe

Surprisingly this restaurant seems to attract a lot of queer people, which we loved! Also it seems that there’s one or two fishes containing egg, so it’s not 100 % vegan. One dish we didn’t really like, but the rest was super tasty. Especially the buns we took for take away were delicious! Staff also super nice.

Cons: Not 100 % vegan

Mixed feelings

The dumplings I ordered were really amazing, but beijing duck that supposed to be their staff's favourite came almost completely cold and like 20 minutes after the rest of the order and I clearly saw it being microwaved. After I reported the issue they just microwaved it again.

Great food and great service

We ate the stirfried veggies, Mapo aubergine and stirfried noodles we loved all of the dishes. They also offer to remove soy meat from them if you don’t fancy it which we appreciated

Amazing variety on the menu

As a vegan I am not used to choose among so many vegan dishes on the menu. Finally I decided for three and was very happy with these.
Definitely worth a visit.

Loads of options, okay good quality

Was very excited to see the menu and have so many options, but the food actually wasn’t that great to be honest. Nice to feel assured that things are vege/vegan tho!

Not my favourite

I got the spicy vegan stir fried chicken with rice and the spring rolls.
The spring rolls came with fake ham in it which was not on the menu and while it wasn’t bad, it was just not for me.
The vegan chicken was honestly bland.

Updated from previous review on 2024-11-23

Pros: Quick service , Not a bad price

Cons: Bland food

Great vegan Chinese food!

Completely vegetarian menu, with dishes containing eggs clearly marked. An extensive choice!

Had an excellent meal, and loved all the dishes we tried. The takana fried rice, sweet and sour pork, and the dumplings were our favourites.

English menu, and the staff were very friendly.

Highly recommend!

Must - go in Hiroshima

Almost ALL menus are vegan and amazingly reasonable price, authentic Chinese dishes all using mock meat I really believe any non-veg people would be a vegetarian if those are available!! Highly recommended!!

The best Chinese food I had in my life!!

This was truly the best Chinese food I had in my life.
The service was pleasant and everything tasted different and there is so much to try. We are really sad we did go to Kyoto again the same day, because we want to come back!!

Pros: Creative dishes , Vegetables , Vegan duck

Vegan & vegetarian Chinese food

Vegetarian Chinese restaurant, but almost everything is vegan. There are so many options, so it’s hard to choose. The sweet & sour was great. Did not like the mabo tofu and springrolls.

The staff is really nice!

There’s a nice athmosphere in the restaurant, but its a bit dirty. Everything is sticky; the floor, glasses, table.

So many options

Could easily go back there every night as there are so many appealing dishes to try from. The staff are super nice and food is affordable. Could recommend the sweet N sour and spicy soy meat.

Delicious vegan dinner in Hiroshima

This chinese restaurant in Hiroshima is totally meat, fish and milk free. Only few dishes have eggs inside (but however you can ask for the vegan version).
The food was delicious, very different from the tipic Chinese restaurant we can find in Italy. We ate several dishes, the price is quite low and the plates really big. The dish I liked the most was vegan chicken with penauts in sweet sour souce, the vegan lamb stick were very good too and the vegan fish was really incredible.
I really recommend this restaurant and I hope to find more restaurant like this in my trip.
Only cash payments.

Pros: Very huge dishes, Almost all the dishes are vegan, Very cheap

Cons: The seating wasn’t very comfortable , You can pay only in cash

Good food, good price, friendly staff

Staff are lovely and the food is great for the price. They have about 20 set menus and specials outside of the menu that are an excellent deal and you get to try out a few things. I had the Sweet and Sour Vegan Pork Set Meal, which was 1180 yen. Everything in it was good, but the highlight was the tiny bowl of roasted peanuts, veggies, and sauce that they gave me as an appetizer.

Great food, many options

We tried several different dishes including the sweet & sour tofu, vegan lamb sticks, vegan duck and fried noodles. All subtle but enjoyable flavours. Great variety, and the staff were friendly and understood the menu well (which was in Japanese and English). There were so many options we might return, as there aren’t heaps of vegan options in Hiroshima. Vegetarian vs vegan were clearly labelled as well.

Cheap and delicious

The food costed only about 1000¥ and was really tasty. The staff were very friendly but didn't really speak any english. Vegan options were quite clearly labeled on the menu.

I must point out that the restaurant can be a bit intimidating to tourists as the staff hardly speaks any english and orders are placed in a very Japanese style by shouting to the kitchen. So not perfect for shy tourists like me. If this is not a problem I 100% recommend the place.

Pros: Cheap, Really delicious

Cons: Cash only, Can be intimidating to tourists

Thank HC for the recommendation

It can be a barren desert when it comes to vegan food in Hiroshima. But luckily I discovered this little place was right behind my hotel. Lovely staff. Menu has some items with eggs, all clearly marked. I took my order To-Go. Food was delicious. Generous portions.

Pros: Great menu, Good staff, Tasty food

Lives up to the reputation!

I saw this was really highly rated by others so I wanted to check it out. It was worth it and lives up to the reputation! Totally vegan and vegetarian friendly (products that have egg are clearly marked). Staff are very friendly.

I ordered the Chinese style fried noodles (¥880) and the spicy stir fried vegan chicken (¥1200). The noodles were good but the vegan chicken dish was really outstanding! Perfect amount of spice (not too hot but really nice flavour).

It’s also very easy to get here (I caught the #102 bus from the train station) and it’s within walking distance to Peace Memorial Park.

FYI I saw other reviews that said there can be long lines. In my experience, I walked right in and there was plenty of seats (12:30 pm on a Thursday in early October).
