Awesome place

Great service and great food. Tofu steaks weren't on the menu. Only vegan items were the vegetable house rolls, vegetable fried rice (specify no butter or egg), and spring rolls. Server was knowledgeable about vegan vs vegetarian.

Great Vegan Japanese Options

We were craving some sushi, tempura and miso soup on a Sunday and found this little gem.

We called two or three other Japanese restaurants before deciding to order from this one. Many other restaurants were unable to provide ingredients lists for their dishes or remove animal products for our order.

They have a menu on their FB page, however it is difficult to read.

We initially called and spoke with a lady who answered our questions regarding ingredients in their food. I'm not sure if she is familiar with veganism but she was at least able to clarify ingredients so that I could request items be made vegan.

Confirmed by staff a couple of times
*Miso soup does not contain fish sauce, so you don't have to make any special requests
*Tempura batter is vegan, so you can get Vegetable or Tofu Tempura without making any special requests

We ate here twice but got mainly the same things. Both times we ordered take out.

Dinner:

Vegetable Sushi with Seaweed and Rice (comes with soy paper): okay, the lettuce and seaweed inside the sushi roll make it a bit large in diameter. Not our favorite but not bad.

Avocado Sushi with seaweed and rice: literally only avocado, nice, but plain

Vegetable Tempura: included Sweet Potatoes, Seaweed and Onions, really delicious

Lunch Special (available even with take out): 3 for $10.95

Vegetable Sushi
Tofu Steak with citrus sauce: we confirmed the sauce is vegan. It's a lot like a thai sweet chili dipping sauce. The tofu steaks are fried. They were really nice.
Vegetable Tempura

Really nice meal for $10.95 and we shared it. We love that the deal is available for take out instead of only eating in.

We had a humorous incident with one of the staff members who was not well informed. I asked him if there was fish sauce in the miso soup to which he replied that miso soup is fish broth. The other two lady staff members immediately corrected him and apologized. I believe they were manager and owner. So if something isn't making sense ask another person just to be sure.

*This location is near whole foods, there are two locations on Mesa street so be aware.

We often like to make our own vegan spicy mayo to eat with our food.

Pros: Staff Knowledgeable in ingredients in food, Accommodates Vegan Requests, Delicious

Cons: Vegetable Sushi comes with Soy paper
