It seems that the chef who specialized in vegan cooking is no longer working here. If you still want to give this place a chance, I suggest making reservations and ensuring that the original chef is the one cooking.

The chicken patty bites are outstanding, and the tantans are some of the best I've had outside of Nagoya. Be sure to request the macrobiotic menu when you visit.

Since this restaurant is a tonkatsu restaurant, it is a good place to go if you are looking for a way to eat with non-vegan friends. I booked a day earlier, which I would recommend.

I just feel a bit yucky as it is a pork restaurant, and have some macrobiotic (vegan) dishes. The restaurant feels quite sticky (they do lots of deep fried dishes). The owner is quite friendly and have English menu, so that is probably why I have decided to go there twice. For the second time, I had asked to make the Tantan men (I think this is the best vegan choice here) but it was quite salty again. Both time I went there, I felt heavy and needing to do some detox as the dish is really heavy and salty.
