High quality, top notch - Edit
I would give 5 stars if able. The food here is high quality and delicious. We ordered the geisha girls roll, spicy agedashi tofu, cauliflower bites, and tantan udon. The geisha rolls were fantastic and I loved the sweet soy sauce that came with it. No need to dip these in soy sauce, they’re good as they come. The tantan udon was probably the best bowl of noodle soup that I’ve had outside of Japan. The broth was super flavorful and the noodles were cooked to perfection. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Dedicated Vegetarian Menu - Edit
I recently had the pleasure of dining at this fantastic spot, perfect for a quick bite before a movie or a leisurely lunch. The menu boasts dedicated vegetarian sections throughout, making it easy to find something delicious and plant-based.
Read moreDuring my visit, I shared the Greens Roll, the Nasu Dengaku (eggplant), and the Organic Tofu Steak with a friend. Each dish was flavorful and satisfying, showcasing the restaurant's impressive selection. We were thoroughly stuffed and admittedly ordered too much brown rice!
The variety and quality of the vegetarian options have left me eager to return and explore more of their offerings. If you're looking for a place with a great selection of vegetarian dishes, this restaurant is definitely worth a visit.
Pros: Dedicated vegetarian sections in menu , Close to movie theater, Brown rice and quinoa options

Tasty yet small portion - Edit
They have several vegan options and I went for the geisha roll. It was tasty and pretty but not super interesting ingredients in the end, and also very small portion for the price I think ($13-14? The menu is on their website) Might need some side dish to make it a meal. They have cheaper veg rolls ($4-6?) that seems a bit smaller so could also try those later. The lunch menu seems like a good deal ($10 for salad and spinach curry or tofu steak).
Read morePros: Pretty rolls. Tasty, Nice staff, Free tea!
Cons: Not very new or interesting for the price though, Small portion (geisha rolls)

Favourite Place to Eat in Vancouver - Edit
This place has great options for Vegetarian and Vegans. I go here with my non-veg family and they end up eating completely vegan because its so good. Their Shiawase is also to die for but kind of expensive.

Delicious vegan sushi - Edit
I was craving sushi and I am so glad I found this place! I had organic avocado rolls, cucumber rolls and veggies rolls. It was all simply delicious! So fresh and tasty, you can taste that the ingredients are organic and healthy. They use brown rice, which is filling and wholesome. I will definitely come back. The location is convenient (super downtown), the place cozy and enjoyable, staff friendly and pricing absolutely reasonable. I was happy to pay my bill after such a great healthy vegan dinner. My husband had the teriyaki tofu steak with brown rice too and he loved it. Highly recommended. This is a 5 stars place
