So many vegan options!

There is a whole page for vegan and vegetarian options! Sushi rolls, soups, ramens etc. we ordered three types of sushi roll and the gyozas. Insanely tasty! A lot of effort has gone into maximising flavours. We’d have kept ordering if we weren’t so full! Will definitely return!

Loads of vegan options

Lovely place in town with creative (eg use of jackfruit) and delicious Japanese vegan food options - the sushi rolls and gyoza we had were excellent - and a range of interesting drinks. Highly recommended.

Good

Great vegan sushi. Tried Buddha Roll, mango roll, vegan katsu bento box and chocolate mousse and snickers bar. Everything was delicious. Not cheap though.

Really nice vegan Options

I had the vegan katsu bento, which is really nice and totally enough to get full and the vegan Gyozas, which are amazing.
So I can really recommend this place, if you are staying in Labuan Bajo😄

I also had the delicious af smoothie bowl and it is really delicious! With peanut butter and many fruits😊

Very good vegan sushi

One of the best vegan sushi I’ve ever had! The vegan katsu wrap is also amazing! We went there multiple times during our stay in Labuan Bajo!

Delicious vegan options

Cute little restaurant with a nice cozy atmosphere.

First of all, they should either fix their avocado problem or take avocado of their menu. I came here especially for the avocado options and they were out of avocado both days I came here. They only used in the sushi, so I took the sushi.😅

I ate dinner here twice and tried the vegan dragon sushi roll, which was delicious (just not a fan of mushroom). I also tried the vegan poke bowl, also nice. Overall good and nice vegan options.

Incredible sushi

The bbq jackfruit sushi rolls were sooo tasty! The cashew cream cheese was amazing although I wouldn’t describe it as cheese. The Middle East focaccia also looked amazing!

Good place

Os tacos estavam ótimos, embora o preço seja excessivo para o que oferecem. Tem bastante escolha de opções veganas.

OK

Am a bit worried, as this is apparently the best offering in the town.
Not a great offering to vegans, IMO.
Some dishes not available.
Dish we had was ok. Cocktails were quite good.

Cons: Quite a bit unavailable.

Nice Japanese

Lots of options, vegan ramen was great. Texture of the tofu wasn’t great. My food came with an egg but they just took the dish behind and removed the egg, doesn’t bother me but might other vegans.

FANTASTICO!CONSIGLIATO!

Locale molto carino, personale tutto al femminile, super gentile! Il cibo è meraviglioso, il loro sushi vegano è spaziale! Io ho adorato il loto vegan katsu wrap e la loro vegan choccolate mousse, ma ripeto,anche il sushi vale assolutamente la pena assaggiarlo. Noi siamo stati 5 giorni a labuan bajo e tutte le 4 sere abbiamo cenato in questo posto. Consigliata la prenotazione perché è davvero molto frequentato. Se siete a Labuan Bajo,non potete non passare di qui, vegani o non.

Decent sushi

The sushi was good, not fantastic but good! The vegan Katsu tofu/chicken was not good at all. It wasn't tofu it was a gooey orange thing that barley had any taste.

You can order from them on grab!

Eclectic

Inside the restaurant is a very eclectic vibe. With pictures of naked women next to the Hindu god Ganesh, next to blue and white China, next to books about Bolivia! It’s not boring! They have clearly marked vegan options. I had vegan ramen bowl which unfortunately had barely any flavour. It was very bland. The raw snickers bar was perfect and very delicious!

Pros: Eclectic restaurant , Delicious dessert

Cons: Pricey

Most, Best V Options in LB

Happy Banana is a Japanese-style restaurant on the east side of town. It’s a bit pricey compared to other places, but it’s your best bet for a delicious vegan meal.

The ambience is relaxing and classy and the service is attentive.

The vegan rolls were top quality while the wrap had a nice tortilla but was too bland for my taste. Maybe those who don’t like strong flavors will enjoy it.

Best veg friendly place in LBJ

LBJ isn’t very vegan friendly (and covid has closed a lot of restaurants that were previously an option), but this place is great!! I went here several times over the course of 2 weeks, working my way through the menu, and can’t say I didn’t like anything. The vegan katsu wrap, the geisha bowl (very filling!), and the teriyaki tofu nigiri were my favorites. The smoothies were also delicious! Sadly, they got rid of their vegan ramen and vegan udon, which would have been great to try. A little pricy, but not the worst

Pros: Lots of vegan options

Cons: Expensive (tourist prices)

Plenty of clearly marked veg options

Vegan options included a few sushi rolls, bowls, noodles, gyozas, soup, wraps, and more. I had the pachamama roll and some miso soup and both were quite nice! Tourist prices but not too high.
