Fantastic local independent vegan restaurant - Edit
Love this place and so lucky to have it locally. Excellent Asian food in a small town - what a treat. Take your non vegan friends and they’ll be happy too. 10/10

Great Saturday evening dinner with a lovely cosy atmosphere. Very friendly staff who were happy to explain what was vegan vs vegetarian (almost everything on the menu can be made vegan). Amazing food!!

Great vegan selection - Edit
While some dishes are prepared using egg the vast majority are totally vegan. The innovation in the menu is astounding with plenty of variety and definitely options that you may not even have heard of, let along never tried. Do check with staff about the vegan status of drinks, or double check yourself as they were not sure at the time of our visit (October 2024)
Read morePros: Variety on the menu, Friendly staff, Atmosphere
Cons: Not totally vegan, Staff unsure about drinks being vegan

Incredible Japanese food - Edit
The best Sushi I've ever eaten; beautifully presented and so so tasty!
Read moreWe also tried the Crispy duck rolls, dumplings and buns. All beautiful and would highly recommend
Can't wait to go back and try more
Extensive plant based menu- some items contain egg but as Vegans we still had a huge amount of options.
Meat alternatives were plant based rather than ultra-processed which was really refreshing.
Lovely deco and atmosphere. Staff welcoming and went above and beyond to make our experience lovely 🥰
Will be a new regular place to eat! So happy we found it!
Pros: Extensive vegan menu , Kind, welcoming staff , Reasonably priced

Amazing food, selection, and service :) - Edit
I was passing through town for a show today and couldn’t believe our luck that there was a veggie restaurant so close to the castle.
Read moreThis place was perfect! The food was beautiful, there was a wide selection of great food to choose from with lots of variety within the cuisine and the service was great, too. Felt like a very wholesome family business😄
In all, we had steamed buns, sushi, oyster mushroom tempura (which was amazing 😭), a bento box and a poke bowl… AND bubble tea. All of which was amazing.
If you’re passing through Chepstow, this place is perfect!
Pros: The food, The selection , The service
Cons: The menu was maybe a bit too big - a good problem

Delicious! - Edit
As vegans, we were so happy to try this plant-based restaurant in Chepstow when we visited recently.
Read moreThe majority of the extensive menu is vegan, although some dishes contain egg (clearly labelled on the menu). If you ask, however, I believe even some of these dishes can be veganised.
We loved the food so much, we visited twice during our stay. It was so fresh and tasty, and with such a large menu, we were spoilt for choice! The staff were really lovely and helpful too. Highly recommended!

Plenty of Vegan Options - Edit
I popped in for lunch on a weekday. I'd been meaning to go for a while but had felt slightly nervous as the menu outside does not have the dishes clearly marked as vegan. Thankfully, the food menu inside is clearly marked. The dining area was comfortable and it was nice to see reusable chopsticks instead of the disposable ones that certain chains provide... The staff were very attentive and offered recommendations. The salt and pepper oyster mushrooms were well seasoned, the batter delightfully crisp. The tempura bento box had a nice variety of things. The tempura batter was lovely and crispy as were the gyoza and spring rolls. The seaweed salad made a refreshing contrast to the fried goodies. Had a lovely meal and will definitely go back to try more of their menu.
Read morePros: Large vegan selection (and all items are vegie), Helpful staff
Cons: Vegan options not marked up on outside menu

Sushi and noodles for daaaaays! - Edit
Hikari Sushi & Noodle Bar
Read moreA beautiful authentic Japanese owned and run vegetarian restaurant, in the heart of Chepstow town centre.
We started off with seaweed salad, grilled unagi nigiri (eel) and natto nigiri (fermented soy). The salad is a decades long obsession of mine, but I've never had eel or natto before. (Which is why I chose them.) The eel was sweet with teriyaki and meaty. The natto was bitter, but balanced with soy sauce and rice.
A sharing plate of maki for our middle course. Ours was tuna, salmon and avocado. It was DELICIOUS! Even the nori was better than any I've ever had. The wasabi was freshly made, not rammed with horseradish and it was LIFE CHANGING! 🤤
For our main we had the lunch special bento box, one with tempura veg and the other with teriyaki fish. We saw lots of people come in for these whilst we were there and who can blame them? They were a DELIGHT!
The menu is extensive and you will need to go back again and again to even try 25% of it. (Maybe that's the idea? 😂🫣)
We'll definitely be back!

Beautiful Food - Edit
Came here for lunch after a workshop close by and it was brilliant. Staff were friendly and the food was sooo good! Me and my sister shared everything. We had the chick*n skewers and salt and pepper oyster mushrooms to start, both phenomenal! For mains we had the tofu katsu and the tempura don both really tasty too. Unfortunately they were out of vegan desserts but we were stuffed! Really enjoyed it here, can't wait to visit again!

Superb food. - Edit
We eat here regularly as it’s local, every single time the food and service is excellent! The chef has trained in Japan so if you love sushi this is by far the best you’ll ever eat. Noodles are fantastic too.

Excellent family evening - Edit
This restaurant has been open for 5 weeks. We went for a family birthday celebration and it was excellent. The menu is superb. So much choice and great recommendations from the staff. We are 4 out of 5 vegetarians in the family. Everything is very clearly marked and great to have so much choice. Our meat eater was happy too! Honestly the best meal out for years - predict this will be a huge hit in Chepstow - good luck to them 🍀
