Perfect find in a tourist trap area

After visiting the monkeys and the bamboo forest with the maddening crowds, stumbling into this cafe-come-restaurant was the perfect antidote. Had never had a rice burger before but was very happy to try and it was delicious. Didn’t even know it was on HappyCow, but a serendipitous find led to a tasty late lunch.

Amazingly real Japan in a burger !!

As a Japanese vegetarian I often hear my veg friends wishing to try to eat real Japanese foods but often contains fish stock … this rice burger has every little real Japan inside and it’s all vegan! So if you wanted to try REAL Japanese vegan this Tofu and rice burger is for you !! Loved it !!

Strange taste

I prefer organic and safe food. So for me, the vegan burger had complex flavors. It left a bad aftertaste. People have different tastes, so I'm sure there are some people who will find this rice burger delicious. I didn't try it, but I think the vegan sandwich is probably a safe bet. I appreciate the vegan options available.

Rico y contundente

Buen ambiente, linda decoración, baños limpios, personal amable. Con respecto a la comida, es una buena opción, comí un sandwich con tofu y era rico y contundente. Mi acompañante no es vegana y pidió un cheesecake que le agradó bastante

Very tasty!

Tried the rice burger as that was what seemed to be the vegan option here but was surprised to find they also offer a vegan sandwich!

The atsu age was very juicy and flavourful and I really enjoyed the pickles that were also inside the burger.

Felt very reasonably priced for a filling meal!

Staff were accommodating and understood when I asked for the vegan option😄

Pros: Great food , Friendly staff , Cheap
