The place for vegan sushi

We visited on 16 Mar 2024 - apparently the shop had done renovation, but still looks the same, though it may have more seating for large groups now. We had visit several times & usually enjoyed the food, but somehow, I felt it wasn't as good as before IMO (different chef?).

Updated from previous review on 2024-04-24

Pros: Vegan options - sushi, potato salad

Cons: The veggie salads are always served way too cold, Can be full house, so have to queue, More hot drinks options please

Japanese-Korean and some local fare

Love the friendly and welcoming vibes in this cafe. They are usually full and crowded during weekends and peak hours due to limited tables. There’s fancy teas and coffee for a cuppa also.

Pros: Affordable prices , Varieties

Cons: Limited seats

Pleasant, clean & nice options on menu

Goodness, I accompanied a family member for vax. over here last year but failed to notice this nice cafe. Anyway, I was early & ordered avocado vegan mayo don & Tofunagi maki. Service was quick & pleasant. Staff was kind to let me know it could be filling with just maki alone. I replied I could finish it all. When I gripped my maki to and fro from the soy sauce to my mouth, the maki did not break up like some rice rolls do. Both orders & ingredients are balanced & good.

Yes, I will return to try other stuff like lion mane mushroom & curry don.

Pros: Good options on menu, Reasonably pricing, Not far from bus stop

Oiishi! Delicious Jap Food

Tried the tofunagi maki! Honestly really hard to find vegan jap food around so I am super happy to find this place. The food was very affordable but this is definitely more of a “sharing” type of place for friends/ family. Eating a whole maki on my own got a bit ‘jelat’ at the end but still delicious and would recommend! the chocolate sorbet is super good😄and there’s free water too

Pros: Cheap, Cozy

Nothing like Japanese/Korean Food

Allium-free vegetarian eatery, quite a few items in the menu contain dairy/egg. Supposedly serves Japanese/Korean food; been here twice but I personally found the taste for the dishes disappointing. The yangnyeom is particular is a far cry from the real deal (it's basically Chinese sweet and sour sauce). Seems like a popular eatery though.

Excellent Japanese fare!

The food is so good and tasty... and you will forget that these dishes are vegetarian. Personal favourites are the fried mushroom in Lucky Tendon which actually has a real prawn taste (fixed my craving for 五香虾饼)..and the Tofunagi which taste just the same as Unagi! Amazing! Thumbs up!

Pros: No service charge and GST, Taste authentic-you wont know they are vegetarian, Generous serving size

Cons: Expensive in heartland neighbourhood

Makis

Lucky Cat - a Japanese vegetarian cafe in Hougang. Not an unfamiliar name to many, given their many highly-raved dishes - dons and makis. Been wanting to try their dishes for a long time and I've finally gotten my hands on their makis!

𝑭𝒆𝒂𝒕.

I recommend their tofunagi maki, read some mixed reviews but it was tasty to me! It was topped with deep fried tofu and seaweed, and coated with teriyaki sauce. I love the different layering which brought out the different textures! Would definitely order it again! Portion wise, was just nice for me too.

🥑 𝗔𝘃𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗱𝗼 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗶
One word. Creamy. That’s how an avocado should taste like isn’t it? At least for me, hehs.

🥔 𝗣𝗼𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗱
My favourite! I love potato salad, but it is tough to find a veganised one, so I truly appreciate this side dish!

Pros: Flavourful dishes

Nice little Vegetarian Cafe

Ordered Yangnyeom Monkey Head Mushroom Don & Japanese Curry Katsu Don from here few weeks ago. The Curry Katsu Don was a little wet, prefer thicker sauce version.

Quite a lots of customers dinning there.

Yummy Japanese food and friendly service

It was our first time visiting the cafe and we were quite spoilt for choice with the menu options. Some of our favourite dishes were shitake cream & cheese, somen in hot broth and tofunagi/ soy meat floss makis. The ice osmanthus red tea was really nice too! Staff were extremely helpful and friendly. I will definitely go back again.

Delicious and innovative

Love the Japanese fusion dishes they offer. All the food were really good but in general, the food and dons are on the sweeter side. Personally, Would prefer it less sweet but generally the food there is really good!

Pros: Vegan options clearly labelled, Interesting innovative dishes

Cons: Limited options

Friendly Japanese Food @ Hougang

My first visit early this morning. Friendly staff with simple ambience. Served with a variety of vegetarian Japanese cuisine and others. Been a Jap food lover myself, I am glad to have this restaurant in our Hougang hometown.

I have tried Curry Katsu Don and a cup of lemon ginger tea today. Good👍👍meal. I will come back again.

Pros: Nice Jap Cuisine

Cons: Restaurant price

Great vegetarian foodie in the Japanese way

Great place to have meals with family and friends! Tucked in Hougang CC. We had hot broth somen, curry katsu don, curry katsu noodles, avocado vegan mayo don and couple of onigiri! I forgot to take photos of others when our curry katsu meal came. Just dived into it 😅

Pros: Good variety given cafe’s size , Cosy environment

Vegetarian cafe with few vegan choices

this cafe located in Hougang CC, has good ambience. They offer change of mylk for coffee and have wide variety of meatless fushion foodie! Awesome place for vegetarian (items seem to contain dairy and have few vegan options such as oat drinks, vegan potato salad and wakame).

My friend like their rice (he is picky over rice and this passed his test) and also shitake cream and cheese! I on the other hand, like the wakame and curry katsu don! ~ Yummy. Suggest to go at off peak hour to siam crowd... haha

Pros: Cool vibe, Extensive menu

Cons: Crowded during peak hour
