Very tasty!

Was very happy to find this place in Nara. There aren't that many vegan options to begin with, and there are NO vegan Chinese options, so finding this place was a treat.
We had some sweet and sour "chicken", ma-bo tofu, and something lovely with cashews in it. It was all very tasty and not too pricey to boot.
The vegan menu is a separate menu from the "regular" menu, so that was helpful too.

I should add that the first time I visited this place, it was during the o-bon summer holiday. I say the vegan menu sign and immediately rushed in--BUT they said that during holiday season they don't serve items from the vegan menu. What a bummer! Honestly, I got pretty angry and wasn't too eager to return--but my craving for Chinese eventually got the better of me :)

Pros: Tasty, Separate vegan menu, A good number of options

Cons: Not cheap--but not that expensive either, No vegan menu during "busy season"

Loved it!

A gem in Nara. As the description says, there were several vegan options and unlike generally in Japan, they gave us our food to share. It was really good and reasonably priced. One note: the "main dishes" are relatively small (though full of flavor) so make sure to order rice separately as well to fill your stomach.

Pros: Excellent food, Friendly staff, Good value

Cons: Small portions
