Tastey vegan food, maybe a tiny bit pricey - Edit
Very tastey udon and karaage meal set. We paid 2200 and 2310 for each meal set, which is about 500 more than we have paid at similar places. The food was yummy and substantial. Very grateful to have an all vegan option. We will order the cheesecake and I plan to update the review after.
Read moreUpdate: Cheesecake was tastey, though it didn't taste anything like what I remember cheesecake tasting like (including the vegan cheesecakes I've had over the years). Rich matcha flavor. Do recommend

Molto buono il set con i noodles - Edit
Il set con i noodles è stato molto buono, abbiamo preso anche quello da 4000 ma ci è piaciuto meno per via dei 5 piattini di contorno, la maggior parte non li abbiamo mangiati perchè non erano di nostro gradimento, ma le due proteine del menù, la zuppa, il riso e il dolce erano buoni

Good and nice variety - Edit
I liked this place but didn’t *love* it. I got the soy meat karaage set and it was fun to try a nice variety of things. Flavours were just okay. Dessert was okay.

Truly impressive - Edit
An unforgettable experience.
Read moreThis restaurant serves a fully vegan menu with gluten free options.
I got the full meal with a mix of the different dishes they offer: first it is beautiful to see, and it is also delicious.
I went there with a non-vegan colleague and he was truly impressed with the food.
It is located in the Chabara shopping mall next to the bridge underpass, across UDX building. It closes quite early during the week so make sure you check out the opening times before going

All vegan!! Try and see what you like! - Edit
Got quite a bit of food to try. Not everything was so my personal liking but very excited I was able to try everything there without any worries. The karaage has a nice breading flavor and texture. The icecream and mousse desserts were delicious, strongly recommended those.

Good—just not great - Edit
This place was really unique in that it was not only vegan, but they also didn’t use onions, leeks, garlic, and a few other alliums. With that being said, we personally found the food to be a little bit lacking in flavor. Everything, in our opinion, was just kind of on the bland side. Both my husband and I like punchy and strong flavors and most everything was really basic. The service was great and the presentation was really lovely. Everything was very fresh and we can certainly appreciate this unique style of culinary cuisine, but it just wasn’t quite right for us.
Read morePros: Wonderful service, Close to the train station, Very clean restaurant
Cons: Flavors were a little bit bland for us

Food’s stellar, prices are not. - Edit
I’ll be honest, the food was good. Very good, in fact. Thought out, well prepared and it was clear that this was a serious kitchen, both in terms of skill and knowledge.
Read moreTheir curry, despite it being a small portion of the lunch set, was easily the best curry I’ve had in Japan. Seasoning and spice quality second to none. I’d go on about the rest of the food, which I sampled a decent amount of, but just trust me that it’s good.
The prices, however, especially for the lunch sets, were just high enough that it was slightly out of touch with the overall experience. Service was lackluster and indifferent from all workers I talked to, interior hopelessly boring and almost worked against the food (a table literally broke next to be whilst eating), and you will end up feeling a bit discouraged when paying at the register.
Fix the prices, targeted at vegan tourists with money, ( the dreadful interior) and it’s an easy five ⭐️’s.
Pros: Taste combinations, Seasoning, Skill involved
Cons: Prices, Interior, Service

Wonderful lunch set! - Edit
We had a bit of a miscommunication with ordering and they only gave us one Karaage set and then one katsu set but it was a happy coincidence because they were both delicious! Highly recommend coming here. Very wholesome meal with a whole lot of flavour.

Best restaurant I went to in Japan - Edit
The karaage was unreal - were it not for the menu being fully vegan, I’d be questioning if it was meat!
Read moreThere were only 3 places I went to twice during my 3-week trip around Japan, with the other 2 being purely for convenience.
I cannot recommend this place enough

This was something else - Edit
This was one of the best food i had on this trip.

As a nice finale we could barbecue moshi as a desert on our table
Pros: Amazing food, Kids set in the menu
Cons: A bit pricy

Overpriced - Edit
The food was ok, and came quickly. But it's the most expensive meal I've had in Japan by a long way, and the least good. Portions were small for the high price. Also the expensive 770yen coffee turned out to just be instant coffee which was quite shocking, I've never seen that in a restaurant before.
Read morePros: Quick service
Cons: Mid food, Very expensive, Worlds most expensive cup of instant coffee

Tasty and cosy vegan restaurant - Edit
I enjoyed this place a lot! It wasn’t crowded at all when I visited (weekday lunchtime). I was served quickly and food didn’t take long. I had the karaage set, which was delicious. Not too much food, so best for a lighter lunch. Will definitely be back. I speak some Japanese and ordered in Japanese, but there was an English menu!

Overestimated - Edit
We had a reservation only to be treated unkindly at the end.
Read moreThere were a few sets to choose from that sounded very promising. When we placed our order we were first given the wrong drink, we politely replied it was the wrong one the waitress behaved in a derogatory manner.
After 20 minutes the set came to the table, unfortunately it was neither tasty or enjoyable.
For such a price, I would expect that.
Cons: Pricey, Loud

Disappointment - Edit
Over priced, portions seemed big, but it is just because of the serving (everything separated on different plates)… also the service was bad, the lady printed the receipt without asking if I wanted to order something more or whether I liked the dish… (it was 30 mins before closing and maybe 20 mins before I got my food). I would not come back

Delicious food with delightful service - Edit
Fantastic food… Our party of 3 (a vegan, a pescatarian and a meat eater) all ate a different set menus and loved it all. Despite feeling very full, we didn’t want to miss out on the Matcha tofu ice cream, and of course loved that too. It closes at 7.30pm so get there early so you can linger on the tastes. It’s located next to an amazing store which sells specialist food products so build in some time for that too
Read morePros: Friendly service, Good sized menu ( not too small or too big!, Took into account low sodium needs
