Fantastic as always

We stopped over in Shrewsbury right before a major hiking trip in North Wales. Having regularly gone to the Kings Cross branch in London, it was pleasant knowing there is a branch here. The menu is different, however, the taste is as good as ever!

Yummy food and lovely staff

Bento box was generally yummy, as were the dumplings and ramen. Felt like some things could’ve had a bit more flavor, but overall it was delicious as always and I’ll definitely be back.

Gorgeous food and lovely ambience

It was our second time visiting this lovely little restaurant situated in a gorgeous historic building. Our food was really flavoursome and gluten free options were good. Bit shocked to see items made from sheep wool (which state that they are eco as from slaughtered sheep?) for sale in their little shop.

Nice place for a romantic date.

Pros: Fully vegan restaurant , Dog friendly , Gluten free options

Cons: Selling sheep wool items in their shop

Delicious

Small restaurant with lovely staff. It was very quiet. The gyozas were really nice and crispy. I enjoyed the ramen a lot. Really nicely flavoured.

Love the food, wish it was open more

We especially enjoy the ramen and bento box at this place. The gyoza are fantastic. Mushroom croquettes and a recent marinated tofu steak special are wonderful. We love visiting this place.

Great Japanese experience

In a way I hadn’t really experienced before, aside from the great food, this was a really nice Japanese restaurant with with things like the bowls and cups very authentic and aesthetically pleasing. Friendly staff too.

Outstanding authentic Japanese food!

The best meal I’ve had for a long time. Itadakizen is beautifully decorated and a lovely setting. The service was excellent and the food was incredible! The opening hours are a bit random but sooo worth a visit if you’re in the area!

Pros: Authentic Japanese food, Lovey atmosphere , Excellent service

Check the opening hours...but otherwise perfect

We loved the tapas style of food, with most of the dishes being new to us. Being able to try small portions of everything to figure out what we liked. We loved the moochi for dessert!

Pros: All vegan , Fabulous staff

Cons: Opening hours are limited, check before going

My all time favourite Vegan restaurant

Itadakizen is my all time favourite Vegan restaurant, and I have been Vegan/Veggie for almost 10 years and tried so many restaurants, non of them even come close! You should absolutely give them a try, you won't be disappointed! I recommend the nuggets, any of the ramen and the matcha gelato!!!

Pros: Delicious food (especially the ramen!!!), Cosy and intimate decor , Affordable

Not open as advertised

Closed on Tuesday 28th of December, despite app saying it was open, the map shows pics of neighbor business. No idea when it's going to be open? #Veganuary

Pros: .

Cons: Closed on Tuesday 28th of December, App opening times wrong

Hi, Chris. Unfortunately the app can’t account for closures over holiday periods and only shows the most recently reported regular business hours. Businesses can display their holiday hours on HC if they wish, but the app is only as good as the information it’s provided with. You can report any updated hours by using the update button.

ChrisOliver

28 Dec 2021

Thanks Tiggy, there was nothing stating hours in the window either, hopefully they open again soon. It would be helpful if business stated their hours on the app correctly; the same has happened many time all over the world using HC and google to be fair. It's the business that looses out in the end 🙁

Thanks Tiggy and Chris! If you find any listings with incorrect hours, please do send in an update! Unfortunately, it's especially hard right now to stay up to date with all of the covid closures and things changing monthly, weekly, or even daily. We really appreciate help from both of you and other users! 😊🤗

Remember this is a user-driven app, Chris and the listings are not necessarily submitted by the businesses themselves. Most of the information comes from people like you, so we need to keep it as up-to-date as possible for the best user experience.

Yep, that's why I posted that they were closed today.

My new favourite restaurant

Loved it here. Food is absolutely delicious. We had gyoza, tofu steak, miso ramen, shoyu ramen and mochi. Couldn't fault any of them and can't wait to come again and try some other dishes. Sasou tea so good too. Service very quick and loved the quirky surroundings. 100% recommend. It is open too now even though the listing here says temporarily closed.

Pros: All vegan, Authentic and delicious , Very reasonable
