Some of the dishes were good. My favorite was the rainbow roll. We ordered about 6 menu items.

What a hidden gem! FIFTEEN YEARS!? You’re telling me, this has been here for 15 years and I’ve missed it every time I’ve gone bowling at Xlanes? Incredible. And this is the first time I’ve ever gotten seating? It’s like it only appears after stars align

This vegan restaurant is so freaking good. So me & my friends came a right as they were about to close but they were nice enough to seat us still! It’s such a small & intimate setting. The lights are dimmed but it’s nice. The food was soooo good & came out super quick. It’s hard to find good vegan sushi but this definitely comes at #2 for me. It’s also located in a market mall & you have to go upstairs via escalator.

It’s an excellent experience if you come in with the right expectations. This is not a restaurant to go to and get a ton of food. This is a place to go to and have a unique experience and have a special night.

Good concept, if it was executed well. Overall, I thought the meal was okay but quite overpriced for what you get.

I will start with the positives. The service and atmosphere here are really nice. The waiters are very attentive–your water will never go more than halfway unfilled, and they are very kind. I liked the darker lighting and soft music as well. However, the food leaves much to be desired. Disclaimer: I’m not vegan but I wanted to try vegan Japanese food. I had high expectations from this restaurant based on other reviews but I was left disappointed. I ordered the Dynamite Roll and the Spicy Ramen Revolution. I could barely finish the Dynamite Roll–it was too mushy and it tasted bland. For one roll of sushi made out of tofu, I’m not sure why the price was $21. The Spicy Ramen Revolution was at least more flavorful, but I still felt like the broth lacked body and spice. The portion was also very small, I ended up feeling hungry afterwards.

It is my first time trying Japanese vegan food and this is a super interesting experience. The “tonkatsu” ramen really tastes like tonkatsu. The manager is very friendly and offered impeccable service.

One of my favorite vegan experiences ever! I love this place so much and the food is absolutely delicious! I wish I could eat here every day! Be sure to make dinner reservations as they are usually quite full. Otherwise, you’ll have to wait for a table to open up. Look at this food! It’s incredible!

Fun and unconventional sushi. This landmark vegan date restaurant replaced a run down little restaurant there before it. On Friday it was so packed we were lucky to get seated within 10 minutes. We all ordered the tasting menu and each chose some different rolls. The in-n-out roll is fun and tasted like fries, beef and onion. A variety of novelty is normal here, but the standard rolls rock too, like the spicy tuna. The layers of flavors are worth savoring and chewing slowly. The green tea matcha cake from Pomegranate bakery is amazing. In general, good but expensive.
