Just ok

Mediocre for the price. Upscale location. Staff seem rushed. Seems to be more American Japanese fusion. Vegan options are clearly labeled. Good small treat but nothing filling.

Pros: Atmosphere

Cons: Price, Wait staff, Food was disappointing

Atmospheric Japanese pub with food- Izakaya style. Good vibes!

I enjoyed the miso soup, edamame, Rock n roll sushi, gomaae(type of Japanese spinach -rape blossom), gyoza ( dumplings). There are a couple other options would love to try another time! This was a lot of food and very tasty.

Pros: Some vegan options, Friendly and prompt service , Generous portions for rock n roll

Cons: Keep adding more vegan options please

Alright

We waited an hour to get in because they were understaffed but the girl who sat us and the girl who served us were both very nice. Atmosphere inside is pretty cool with these in ground booth type things. Food was alright but the Smoked Oshi was absolutely terrible, best way to describe the taste was a shoe factory, like, straight chemicals. And the tofu in the Crunchy Tofu Salad was the worst tofu I’ve ever had (the rest if the salad was good though). The server was awesome about it though and took the sushi off the bill because we didn’t eat it. Wasn’t overly expensive like the other places in Whistler. I would go again for the Rock ‘n’ Roll and the Sweet Mushroom Bao Bun.

Gute vegane Auswahl!

Ein sehr nettes japanisch-angehauchtes Tapas Restaurant mit einigen veganen Optionen. Von Sushi, über Frühlingsrollen, Kimchi, Gyoza & Bao, bis hin zu Ramen ist hier alles dabei, was das vegane Herz begehrt! Die Optionen sind nicht nur vielfältig, sondern auch alle geschmacklich sehr überzeugend!

Creamy vegan ramen might rival Workshop Cafe N. Van, could this be??

Of all the Japanese restaurants in Whistler, it’s the favourite. The creamy vegan ramen is v crave-able

Pros: Some good vegan options , Crunchy tofu salad & the rock ‘n’ roll

Cons: A non vegan kitchen

Fantastic

Everything we tried was really good. Both vegan sushi rolls were top notch and we split the vegan creamy ramen that was also delicious. Highly recommend

My favourite restaurant

The food is delicious, my favourite restaurant in town. There is lots of vegan options. There known for there amazing creamy vegan ramen, but I also live the rock n’ roll, crunchy tofu salad, and spring rolls. The atmosphere and interior design is really cool. The place is great for a ramen lunch with friends of a fancy evening out.

Pros: Fresh , High quality food

Cons: Usually pretty busy

Fun izakaya atmosphere with lots of vegan options

This is a really pleasant place to have a vegan Japanese tapas experience. The food is very tasty and there are lots of vegan options. We ordered five dishes to share for our table and didn’t exhaust the vegan stuff on the menu. Had a very nice sake as well. If you go on Sunday their sake is all half price, which is a very good deal. Service is quite casual and isn’t quick, but that’s because it is a place where people go to chat and linger. Don’t go if you are in a rush (lol - if you are in a rush in Whistler, you should ask yourself some difficult questions!).

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Food is served in small tapas portions

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!

What a place!!! All the food was SUPERB. I even thought the creamy vegan ramen was better then one I had in Tokyo!!!! My Omni bf said “I can’t believe how many vegan options they had for you!” A win for both of us! And he loved my vegan options too! Edamame, spring rolls, rock and roll sushi and vegan ramen! The size was huge too! We got way too much but was so excited to try a range of things! Totally worth it and now I have left overs for lunch!

Pros: Great menu and variety for vegans , Large portions , DELICIOUS, fresh and high quality!

Cons: Too many options to try them all!!

Best Japanese restaurant for vegans in Whistler

I always get the mushroom Ramen and gyoza when I come here. I love to get extra shiitake mushrooms and my husband always gets extra veggies. The brussels sprouts are also pretty good, that deep fried.

Pros: Fast service, Delicious, Great
