Great food & very friendly stuff

They have a lot of vegetarian and vegan stuff. We had the pizza, which was a little bit small, but very tasty. They even gave us a free warmer pad to use outside, because it was a cold and rainy day.

Love for sum

First of all the food is 5/5 but the experience and the price lowers the overall score. The portion size for the price is too small, additionally, there were lots of extra charges (e.g. mandatory drink per person, service table charge, tax) which you have to agree to on a waiver before entering. If you have the money then this is a no brainer. Tofu pizza was particularly good.

Scrumptious food, excellent service

Excellent food, beautifully presented.
In Kanazawa for 3 nights and ate there twice as it was so good. Great vegan menu and bonus for the celiac wife that all is gluten free, including the alcoholic ginger beer, yum.
The service was excellent and staff very friendly.
I loved the Teppanyaki Ginger Steak in the set menu and also the crispy Lions Mane Mushroom.

Pros: Great vegan options

Pricey vegan options

This is a pescatarian cafe that caters to tourists. There are a few vegan options on the menu. We ordered two sushi dishes. They served the dishes while browning them with a torch, which was cool. The dishes themselves were modest in size. The sushi tasted good, but not extraordinary. At nearly 3000 yen a piece, plus mandatory drinks (starting at about 700 yen), this was a pricey lunch option. They asked for a tip afterwards, which is not common in Japan and we did not expect this.

Pros: 1. Food was tasty

Cons: 1. Tourist trap vibes, 2. Way overpriced, 4. Extra charges

Very friendly owners

Small family restaurant with many vegan and gluten free options. We all ordered gyoza as lunch or as extra, it was great. In the picture the amazing sushi I had (with avocado and vegan mayo, can't remember it's title in the menu).

We loved this place!

The food was wonderful! We ordered the tasting menu (6 appetizers and a main) and were delighted with every dish. The chef is omnipresent and oversees everything in this small establishment. The vibe is elegant/ casual and very relaxed.
Dinner reservations confusing (Instagram only!), better to stop by personally earlier in the day and sign in for a spot.

Pros: Small space with the single chef who does it all., Ambiance, Deliciously prepared food.

Cons: There are 2 seatings 6pm and 8pm., Rservations necessary but difficult to make*

Incredible.

Went there twice and both times food was incredible. Creative, delicious and beautiful too!

Second time we went for dinner (we booked it the same night we went there for the first time) I asked if they could put a candle on hubby’s cake as it was his bday, they went beyond that! they turned all the lights off, turned on a nice “happy birthday” song and went above and beyond to make their matcha cake dessert look even more birthday looking - the flavour was beyond delicious.

Make sure you book in as they do two dinner services (6pm and 8pm) and get full very quickly!

Pros: Food, Atmosphere , The chef and staff

Cons: None, None, None

Nice experience, but not perfect

We had a dinner Menue with several small starters and a main course selected by the chef. Service was reasonable, we had to wait a long time before we could order our drinks. But I should mention, that only one lady managed the whole service in this small restaurant. Dinner was expensive, no free water provided, rice must be paid extra. In fact we liked the quality and the vegan selection, but price was as higher than at other good locations. I really can recommend that place, especially for the quality of the dinner!

Pros: Vegan selection, Quality

Cons: Price, Service

A very frustrating experience

I arrived at 5.10 pm and they informed me that dinner was served at 6. So I decided to order a pizza and a drink. At 5.45 pm after eating my pizza, I requested to see the menu, because I wanted to decide if I would order another pizza or if I would wait for dinner. The girl was trying to explain that in this case, if I decided for dinner I should leave and come back later. I asked if they were closing, and she said not. In a moment the communication was so complicated that I just decided to order a second pizza slice. The chef started to talk with the waitress, and even if I couldn’t understand, I’m pretty sure he was complaining about something related to me. I asked her if I should leave and she said “no”. In the end the waitress came to my table and asked if I wanted to wait for dinner more 20 min. I said that I could leave because I didn’t want to cause any more trouble for her. Terrible and frustrating experience, even if the food was good.

Pros: Vegan pizza was nice

Cons: Unprepared staff , Chef not polite at all

Totally underrated

I was immediately amazed when I entered the restaurant. Such a hearty welcome! Actually the service did not speak english very well, but they were prepared: they had a short questionnaire (if vegan/vegetarian, special dietary restrictions etc). The menu is not 100% vegan, but probably 90% of the 30 items.
I had the winter special with a hot pot of vegetables (since I had ramen the last days). I will definitely go there again. Very nice folks.

Worth a visit!

My experience here was exceptional. The atmosphere, the service, and most of all the food was absolutely fantastic. It's expensive but worth it. If you're looking for fast and cheap this is not the place.

There is care in this place

Nice to eat something a touch more upscale. I had a lunch and a dinner here. My lunch was a pizza and coffee.
Pizza was amazing (definitely one of the best balanced vegan pizzas I’ve had), and the coffee was great, complete with Kanazawa gold leaf!

Dinner was nice, with a quite special vegan sashimi (made with yuba or something?) and I had a tasty “roe” ramen featuring truffle. Dinner had a drink requirement; I had a local Kanazawa gin. I’d suggest the set menu is the best way to go.

The owners even made me vegan onigiri (with vegan jerky!) for my upcoming, lengthy Shinkansen trip!

While this place is not vegan, the owners care deeply about food and people. Recommended.

Pros: Very helpful staff, Tasty food, Presentation

Imperdible

Love For All es un refugio donde veganos, vegetarianos y carnívoros se encuentran para disfrutar de una experiencia culinaria única. Su comida japonesa es un verdadero deleite: cada plato está preparado con un cuidado y una pasión que se sienten en cada bocado.

El ambiente acogedor y la atención impecable son el marco perfecto, pero lo que realmente brilla es la calidad excepcional de su cocina. He tenido la fortuna de visitarlo dos días seguidos y no dudaría en volver cada vez que regrese a esta ciudad. Love For All no es solo un restaurante, es un lugar que recomiendo profundamente. #Veganuary

Pros: Todo lo que sea comida japonesa, Sus appetizers TODOS, el ramen de caviar y trufa vegano

Average food with extreme pretension and cost

More like "Love for None". My girlfriend came here and brought an allergy card detailing what she was severely allergic to (cashews, walnuts, pistachios). She showed it before ordering, and things went fine until dessert.

Since she already showed her allergy card (written in Japanese), and the dessert menu item she ordered had "no almonds or coconuts", so she assumed the matcha tart cake would be fine. Turns out it was made entirely of cashews-- she ate one bite, then after a brief period of feeling strange, she got extremely ill. She had to use an epipen (one of the two she brought on this vacation), and rush into the bathroom to vomit. The waiter was really nice and apologetic; he brought water and apologized.. But in this restaurant where there was only my gf and I, none of the other staff even turned to look or to offer help.

Anyhow, I'm rating it mainly 1 stars because of this incident where my girlfriend suffered a lot. Why would you put "no almonds or coconuts", but have it include cashews, a tree nut? Peanuts, tree nuts, and fish are the big 3 severe life threatening allergy foods.

If this incident didn't happen, I'd say the restaurant is about 2 stars? The customer service was fairly good (the waiter was very nice and spoke English) and the food is so-so. But the portion sizes are absurdly small; my anorexic vegan gf was still hungry after a dinner set with the crispy tuna chestnut add-on (over 6000 yen in cost, not including the drinks and table charge of 550 yen/person). It's absurdly expensive for what you're getting, the majority of the cost probably comes what I'm assuming is local organic produce or something?

You can get better vegan food for 1/3rd the price elsewhere in Japan.

For example in the dinner set we got, it went something like this:

Appetizers: 4 crunchy leaves with sauce, crunchy tofu ball, two more various single slices of local produce
Soup: Small bowl of tofu/mushroom soup
Entree: My gf got the vegetable mushroom tempura, I got the scallops. I got 4 pieces of scallops and the rest was bean sprouts. Both of our dishes came with a bowl of rice and exactly 4 slices of local vegetables.
Dessert: One purple grape, one green grape, a slice of a fig, slice of orange

It felt really pretentious and and I can't believe I paid this much for tiny slices of various "local Kanazawa produce". I think this is the only restaurant I went to in Japan that I felt legitimately disappointed and scammed by.

Pros: Food was ok

Cons: Extremely small portions, Absurdly high prices for what you're getting, Lazy food

An experience worth the price

Other reviews mention the price, which is higher than other places like ippudo or similar, however this place is _very_ nice.

The service was terrific, and they were very patient with my poor Japanese (their English was more than good enough).

The food was fantastic. All local Kanazawa specialties, and we left with a new found appreciation for yuzu. The vegan beef dishes were on another level compared to the more budget friendly places (which are still very tasty on their own).

The dessert was a great combination of flavors as well, and they prepared a special treat when they heard that we were on an anniversary trip.

We went with recommendations from the staff and there wasn’t a single bite less than delicious.

If you want to have a “nice dinner” and can budget a little extra, this is the way to go.

Pros: Flavors, Service, Experience

Cover fee plus tip

The food is pretty good, but the place in general is overpriced. They charge a 500 yen seating fee which they say is normal (I’ve never seen this in Japan) and at the end it asks for a tip (definitely unacceptable for Japan). Kinda screams tourist trap.

Many option

Mixture of western food and Japanese food. Have vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options.
I order the tuna sushi, taste nice.
Japan Curry is a bit boring for me, but it’s how the Japan’s curry style mostly are.
They gave me a free local produce raw corn and it contains a taste of nature and sweet. Impressive about how corn can taste like how it originally should be.

To fatty and expensive, clear tourist trap

Pros: clearly labelled vegan and gluten-free food, one very nice waitress, no waiting time
Cons: wayyy to expensive for what you get. We had a pizza, a salad and a set menu. The set menu cost 5500 and includes an appetizer, a small soup, a small bowl of rice and as a main dish three mushrooms and a bit of fish. All the food is sooo fatty, I had a stomachache afterwards. Also, there is a service charge and they still ask you for a tip, which is not usual in Japan and clearly made this seem like a tourist trap.
Also, the music is on super loud and before entering there is a very unfriendly sign, giving it a not very welcoming atmosphere

lovely staff

Staff are lovely. Meals are very expensive by Japan standards ($27Aud for a burger). The meal was nice, miso sauce and chips were nice. Yuzu icecream and muffins nice. the burger wasn’t anything special but it is very hard to find vegan food in this area.

Pros: location, vegan options

Cons: limited menu
