Japanese - Edit
It has a large vegan menu so first I went I decided to try the set menu to get an idea about the food they do. They kindly let me do it although I was few minutes late to take an advantage of this offer (parking is a nightmare, so leave the car at home ;-)).
I had starter of gyozas, good as expected, for main I got veg tempura in teriyaki sauce with rice, it looked lovely, it tasted nice but was a bit greasy, but I suppose it is to be expected of deep fried tempura, so my fault for choosing it. I had no room for dessert because portions are quite generous.
I will definitely come back to taste more dishes, it would be interesting to try some sushi...
Table next to mine ordered vegan bento box which seemed like a good value for money too (sorry for peeking :-D).
Pros: Big vegan menu , Central location , Good service
Cons: Serves meat

Extensive vegan menu - Edit
I love Japanese food and it used to be that they had a footnote on their main menu that any vegetarian dish could be made vegan, and now they have their own 2-page vegan menu full of options. I was there in a group of 8 and they didn't have enough menus for us all so we shared one between two. I love tofu and opted for the agadashi tofu to start, a tofu dish with a green tea base as main, and a side of sweet potato maki. I've had a tofu & noodle dish from here before and I think I'd go for that next time - the main I had was tasty but didn't have the oomph of flavour that I like, but was nice to try.
They offer refills of green tea so I went with that, and didn't ask about dessert but they have offered a vegan dessert in the past - a rice pancake with a bean filling - so it's work asking if you want something sweet to end the meal.
We weren't waiting too long for food and it comes out as ready rather than as a set starter, main, then dessert. Service was fine. This was my 4th or 5th time there and I will definitely be back. Book in advance as it gets very, very busy, especially in the evenings.
Pros: Lots of vegan options, Good value for money, Need to book in advance - shows it's good!
Cons: Need to book in advance - inconvenient
