Great vegan options, inc dessert

Lovely place that I eat in regularly - there is a great range of vegan options, including starters, main dishes and a dessert. The food is good and comes in decent portions.

I recommend the yasai tofu kare lomen and the yasai katsu curry.

The whole vegan menu can be viewed on the website which is handy to check in advance for clarity, although stuff is marked on the paper menu too, it’s just more spread out.

Pros: Good food, Great range of vegan options, Dessert option available - sorbet

Cons: Few booths, mostly long tables, Make sure to specify when ordering vegan optio

First Wagamamas I wouldn’t recommend

Didn’t have the menu items always available in UK restaurants, and the vegan selection was hit hard. In a basement too, which wasn’t pleasant. Very expensive - over standard Wagamama prices. Wouldn’t return to this one.

Good meal

I had the nikko curry yasai tofu with rice. It tasted amazing. Nice atmosphere in the restaurant with nice and accommodating staff. Some of the dishes are a bit expensive. Overall, recommended!

Pros: Large selection of vegan dishes, Very tasty, Nice staff

Cons: Can be expensive

Solid vegan meal

I really liked the food here, one of the few places with a real vegan steak, nice combo with the rice noodles.

Good vegan soia stake, solid protein.


Good vegan options.

Several options, cosy and friendly

There are several vegan options here. I had the udon noodles with the soy ribs but i was not a big fan of the soy ribs, never have been. Don’t know why i chose it 😄 but the noodles and the soup en Chinese cabbage was delicious. My sister had the gyoza noodles and that was great!

Pros: Several options, Pretty location, Not too expensive

OK, but nothing more

They now have a seperate space for vegan optipns on the menu.

I had the Yasai Pad Thai, and the noodles and veggies had a nice flavour, but nothing spectacular. The tofu was very bland.

Pros: Several vegan options

Cons: Bland tofu

Fair

Only had take away from them. Loved the panko fried vegetables with rice and curry sauce, didn't like the pad Thai as much. Expensive though.

Cons: Expensive

Cannot believe I didn't find out about this place sooner!


I've been visiting this side of town for years and years, and I'm very surprised that I didn't know this restaurant was here until today!

A fabulous experience, the decor and atmosphere were suited to the Asian theme of the restaurant. The staff were patient as I took long deciding what to have, due to the extensive vegan options on the menu!

Social distancing and other safety measures were also practiced well in the restaurant, and I never felt unprotected during my time inside.

The staff were friendly and very helpful when I told them of my dietary preferences, in addition, the menu was clearly labelled with what was vegan friendly and what was not. The food was just delicious, the freshly made juices especially, which I highly recommend trying.

Overall, the experience was great, and I will certainly be going back in the future!

Maybe Next Time

Food was decent but not amazing. I ordered the kare burosu - it was lacking a bit of flavour. For the price I was a bit disappointed. I would eat here again though as I have had some other vegan dishes previously that I have enjoyed.

But I must say I am happy with the amount of vegan offerings they have. It’s amazing to see and I would like to highlight that.

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Good past experience

Cons: On the expensive side , Particular dish fell short

Not as good as I hoped

I went here to try their vegan menu as the pictures on the website were very promising.
I ordered the gyoza and the bok choi/broccoli and the portions were tiny. The dumplings were soggy and not really tasty, the vegetables soaked in the soy sauce dressing but tasted good. I was really disappointed by the vegan katsu curry - the crispyness of the vegetables was very good, but the curry tasted somehow “artificial”, but maybe it was just my taste.
I went here on my own and the staff offered me either a place in front of the bar (tiny table) or one single table at the back of the restaurant - probably the worst seats in this place. Just because you are having dinner for one does not mean you are getting the worst spots - the place was half empty!

Pros: Dedicated vegan menu, Free green tea, Central position

Cons: Expensive, Quality could be better, Not many nice tablea if eating on your own
