Limited Options for Vegans

Not sure why this place has much praise, honestly. They have a set vegetarian menu, but almost everything on there is cooked with fish or oyster stock, and you have to specify that you don't want that. Even then, all of the options are side dishes, and there isn't a single vegan-friendly main meal option. It's not hard to replace meat with tofu in most Asian and/or Japanese dishes, so why not offer it?

Excellent meal

A very pleasant dining experience at this Japanese restaurant. Vegan green salad, agedashi tofu, vegetable tempura and rice, with green tea. Would come here again.

Pros: Vegan food easily catered for, Friendly happy staff

Great vegan options in a nice location

We've dined here a couple of times and, in true Japanese form, the food and the service were fantastic. Highly recommended!

Pros: Good vegan options, Great service

Disappointed

We have made enquiries at Kohan restaurant for booking a meal to celebrate my birthday only to be told very clearly that kitchen utensils and oils etc. are shared with non vegan and vegetarian foods.

"FYI: our kitchenware, cookware, cooking oils( deep fryer), utensils are shareable among all food that we serve to our dedicated customers.
if you are restrictively vegetarian, our vegetarian menu are not meet your request."
I feel very strongly that this establishment should be removed from HappyCow listings as it's inclusion leads to an assumption that Vegetarian and Vegan options are available when clearly they are not.

Cons: Veg options are not actually Veg options - mislead

Only vegan option in this area

This was the only thing we could find with vegan options in the area.

The bottom of the menu says "ask server for vegetarian menu," so we did. We got a vegan bento box with some salads, rice, pickled vegetables, tempura & stir fry. It was filling but expensive.

Service was very friendly.

Pros: Knows what "vegan" is, Friendly

Cons: Expensive, Serves meat
