Give us some veg

Stopped by for a quick meal before heading to the Personal Trainer and Pom Poko gig, and it was a quick visit. I appreciated the separate vegan menu, and opted for the gyoza followed by tofu curry. While the gyoza was satisfactory, it felt a tad lacking. As for the tofu curry, it left much to be desired – with only three pieces of tofu, one lonely carrot, and a scant potato. Despite the reasonable pricing, I believe there's room for improvement in terms of portion size and variety. For the same price, I would expect more vegetables, perhaps an additional piece of tofu or a greater variety of vegetables. While the experience wasn't enough to bring me back just yet, I'm hopeful for future enhancements.

Pros: Vegan menu

Cons: Lack of veg

Some places think a few scraps of tofu will keep the vegan punters happy. Pathetic

Lacking. Extra point for the vegan menu. I cannot tell you how good my gig was. My ears are ringing!

Great dinner on Bread street.

They had several vegan options, at least 2 gluten free, along with vegan starters. Staff very pleasant and friendly. The eggplant starter was delicious and the mix of seasoning on the tofu curry was very pleasant.

Pros: Several vegan options, Full flavored curry and tofu dish

Separate vegan menu

Ask for the separate vegan menu. It has lots of choice and is very tasty.

Good food - but they brought me squid

I told them I was vegan in case I inadvertently ordered something that wasn’t. The server was good about checking from some kind of sheet. Fine. Then a bowl of something was brought out. I thought it must have been the spicy tofu I ordered and put some in my mouth. It was calamari! Really not something I want to put in my mouth! They apologised and took it away. There was a mayonnaise thing that came with the vegetable poke that I suspect wasn’t vegan either, and after what had already happened I wasn’t prepared to risk it. They then put the squid on the bill! (albeit they again apologised and took it off when I raised it)

Good food, but I just wouldn’t trust that their vegan food is actually vegan so will definitely avoid

Fabulous meal

I was craving for a poke bowl and their veggie one absolutely hit the spot. Some appetisers were better than others but, all in all, the whole meal with a splash of sake was gorgeous. Many vegan options on the menu and the atmosphere was nice. Would definitely come back to try other dishes, it’s great for Asian fusion cuisine.

Pros: Many vegan options , Decent prices, Nice atmosphere

Inexpensive Japanese Fusion

Ideally situated in the city centre, quick and friendly service and loads of veggie and vegan options. I had the veggie bento box which included veggie tempura, avo maki, miso, sushi rice, and veg spring rolls. Lots of veg sushi options on the menu.
