    Super fresh ingredients, I could eat here every night. Lots of vegan and vegetarian options! :)

    Food was great! Tasted like real Japanese food even if it was vegan. I loved every dish we ordered. Prices are reasonable. The place is clean. Staff are friendly.

    I love that everything is vegetarian in this cozy Japanese restaurant. Most of mainstream Japanese restaurants do not have many vegetarian options, and some treat you like you are from Mars when you ask about their vegi options! Not this place. Tons of options, and you need to go there a lot to try all the menus. Food was delicious, but portions could be larger. Remember to have enough cash on you as this place is Cash only!!! There is a bank with ATM few blocks away if you do not mind the walk.

    Consistently good even though not the original owners. A good variety of vegan Japanese ...nicely presented..somewhat mirroring Japanese Buddhist monk food. Reasonably priced.

    Great vegetarian fare. A unique dining experience, remember to bring cash! (They don't take cards)
