Really tasty vegan options - Edit
A number of vegan options, including tofu, veg, edamame, rice and some eggplant dishes. Pretty fast service, too. Food was very yummy. Wines are also listed as to which ones are vegan.

I thought they were terrible last time I had to go there. I would have walked out if it wasn’t late. Very few dishes so not great for vegans (pr animals obviously).

Not sure how recent your last experience was, but there's definitely a few options! We had agedashi tofu, a spicy pumpkin sushi, sides of rice and a tofu and veg stir fry. All yum!

It was within the last 6 months and I had 3 choices, 2 of which were ordinary. I wouldn’t go back but i didn’t have much choice that night. I try to avoid places that serve meat anyway.

Liked it - Edit
This restaurant has several vegetarian and vegan options on the menu. Friendly and helpful staff in selecting vegan options, and offering ‘without food contamination’. Lunch dish Tofu Ankake had salad, soup, brown rice, tofu & vegetables and three small sushi. Basic but very nice.

Delicious food fun atmosphere - Edit
Very tasty vegan options, relaxed yet vibrant atmosphere, friendly service. Iwona (pronounced Evona) helped us narrow down the vegan options and we went with the miso udon and veg maki rolls, both of which we would happily recommend. Can't wait to try the other suggestions when we return.
