Great food, but can be expensive - Edit
The food was really good here, but ended up being our most expensive meal so far in our month trip. But dont let that put you off. Definitely worth a go.

Delicious vegan options near Naha - Edit

Read moreLala Zorba is a vegan restaurant specializing in Asian Ethnic cuisine as well as some local dishes. Keep in mind that it only opens at night time from Thursday to Monday.
You can find dishes like curry plates, dumplings, buddha bowl, soba, desserts and drinks. They also features some set meals with a few courses.
The dumpling set that I tried include an appetizer plate, dumplings, soy chicken, and a spicy fried noodles which I changed to Okinawa soba. The okinawa soba turns out to be my favorite with its varied toppings, chewy noodles, and flavorful soup.
Pros: All vegan, Convenient location, Tasty food
Cons: Overuse soy chicken pieces

Very cozy - Edit
Went with a friend an hour before the closure so the dishes were all sold out, except for the Nepalese Noodles, they were so tasty! I also tried the apple cidrum. Super recommended if you are in Kokusai-dori!

Maybe one of best meals I've had in Japan?? - Edit
I don't know how much of a snob you have to be to leave a bad review for this restaurant. This was one of the BEST meals ive had in Japan. Food didn't take too long. Every dish was shockingly good. In vegan dining I'd say it's rare to find flavours this deep and rich. I don't know how they do it. I went for the Dumpling set and Masala Tofu. Simply put it was amazing, will try go again before I leave to taste the rest of the menu!! 10/10!! P.s oh yeah it's definitely not cheap, but worth it absolutely.
Read morePros: AMAZING FLAVOURS, perfectly delicious! 10/10, Such a pleasant atmosphere, and nice smells., So many options! It was really hard to choose!
Cons: Yeah it's just expensive.

Amazing food! - Edit
We were originally shocked by the prices, so much more expensive than our standard meals here! But once we ate the food, it was worth it, and compared to prices back in the UK, not that expensive.
Read moreWe decided to get a selection of plates rather than a set. We tried the fried “chicken”, tofu tikka masala, dumplings and tofu salad. The salad was fresh and delicious, love the tofu with tikka masala sauce - definitely want to recreate at home, the dumplings had a green curry like filling. Everything tasted so fresh and the portions were big, definitely worth it! The staff are lovely and the menu is available with English.
Pros: Lots of options , Creative dishes
Cons: Expensive in comparison to other options

Nice but expensive food, incredibly slow service - Edit
We were so excited to eat here given the previous reviews. I hate leaving bad reviews - especially for veggie/vegan places, but I wish I’d have known what we were getting ourselves in for!
Read moreWe had to ask for table water which seems quite unusual in our dining experiences in Japan so far. We ordered a beer and a cocktail. The beer came out quickly, but we had to ask about the cocktail and it didn’t arrive until after the first course which was disappointing. There were really long gaps between each course - I appreciate a pause between courses but this was too much.
The food was okay - we had the dumpling set meal. The appetiser was a collection of random things which were quite nice and had a few different veggies in. I’m not so sure how well they all went together. We shared fried gyoza and the dumplings with tomato sauce. The tomato sauce was really lovely but sadly both dumplings were quite watery and didn’t taste of too much. Next we had karaage which was okay too, not the best we’ve tried on our trip to Japan. After what felt like hours, we then received our final course of noodles. They were fine, but by the time we received them we had pretty much given up.
Our meal cost ¥9500 which is by far the most expensive meal we’ve eaten in Japan but sadly it was one of the worst, too. By this point we’d been there for 2 hours so we were just glad to leave.
Pros: Nice, chilled decor, Lots of vegan options (it’s all vegan, I believe)
Cons: Incredibly expensive, Very slow service, Food is just “okay”

Delicious food but very slow service - Edit
An interesting restaurant with a bit of a spiritual vibe. The staff was kind and friendly, and the food tasted great! We had the fried gyoza, the Nepali style friend noodles, the Okinawa soba vegetable soup, and a parfait for dessert. Everything was delicious, but the service was very slow despite the small number of other customers. All of our dishes came one by one with a bit of a waiting time in between, and the dessert took more than 40 minutes that we almost gave up and left.

Great food! - Edit
Pure vegan restaurant with the heart in the right place. I ordered the Vietnamese spring rolls, tibetian dumplings and fried soy meat. The spring rolls took a while to come to the table but they were delicious so totally worth the wait. Not like the average deep fried from the freezer spring rolls, but really good quality and prepared at the spot in the house. The dumplings were a bit dry and not the best I’ve had, but they sure went down. The fired soymeat was coated with something crispy and a nice sweet and chili sauce, very cool! The orders I made were maybe not the healthiest, but there were plenty of other meals to choose from! I wanted to come back again, but they were closed. Short opening hours, so make sure to double check before going there.

A sweet little restaurant tucked away up a side street. Interesting mix of foods, all vegetarian. We must have gone after a busy point, as we learned that half of our order was unavailable. But still, good food and pleasant atmosphere.
