Some vegan options (by omitting some items)

There aren't any obvious vegan options in Cleveland, and you have to be creative when searching for vegan food nearby or drive over 25 miles out to vegan restaurants.

Here, you have to ask the waiter detailed questions about the meal you want, if it can be made vegan the ingredients, and specify what to omit. Depending on the waiter, there may be a language barrier, so if you are an English speaker, you may need to ask to speak to someone who speaks fluent English or they may automatically do this to help. They were very helpful! My waitress was Rain, and she went back and forth to the kitchen staff to ask my questions about ingredients.

They have veggie hand rolls (specify no oyster/fish sauce), vegetable udon noodle (specify no fish/oyster sauce and no eggs, ask for the white sauce - they said the brown sauce isn't vegan), vegetable fried rice (specify no fish/oyster sauce and no eggs), miso soup, and edamame. They said the tofu teriyaki can't be made vegan due to having milk in it and that the homemade soy sauce on the tables have honey in them. They said you can request gluten-free soy sauce that is vegan. I didn't ask about the vegetable hibachi and the salads, so that can be further explored by anyone who goes here next.

I ordered the vegetable udon noodles and miso soup, and they were pretty good.

Pros: Friendly, helpful, and accommodating staff

Cons: Must ask a lot of questions to make it vegan
