Outstanding! - Edit
Definitely a highlight of food in Nagoya.
Read moreWe booked via email for the next day and were met with a pretty fast response in perfect English, they ask you to use the menu on the website to order before you get there via the email chain you start for the booking and then when you get there they prepare each dish one by one for you. It’s important to note that some dishes require multiple days notice to prepare so if you’re after something specific, make sure you book in early well before you intend to eat there.
As for the food - it was awesome. The flavours were amazing, their in-house “meat” was texturally very impressive and very hard to fault. My biggest gripe was that the burger and the katsu sando (while both incredibly delicious) were very small and felt more like sides, definitely left me wanting more but unsure of whether or not I could order more because all the ordering is done in advance.
Absolutely a must try for vegan food in Nagoya (it’s almost entirely vegan by the way, maybe one or two things left on the menu that aren’t vegan and the menu does a good job of labelling it)

So friendly and delicious food - Edit
Oribio requires asks for advanced reservations but it had to be done by email. I was a little nervous about the process, trying to convert my english to japanese. However, the woman who helped me conversed on email (and in person) easily in english. Not only that but she was so helpful with all of our requests.
Read moreEverything in my group’s dinner plates was well liked. This included an omelet like rice, veggies, soup, and more. We also really enjoyed the chocolate and matcha cakes.
Bonus: they have some groceries on site, in case you need any snacks for an upcoming train ride.

One of the best vegan restaurants we visited in our 3 week Japan Trip, my husband ordered 2 main dishes just because it was so good. The waitress was so sweet and lovely we wanted to take her home.

Some Delicious Veganized Dishes, but Also Some Missteps - Edit
Read more in this vegan Nagoya guide: https://itravelforveganfood.com/vegan-nagoya-guide/
Read moreOribio is a vegetarian restaurant that has successfully veganized a few traditional Japanese meat dishes, like a katsu bowl with vegan egg. However, there are some underwhelming dishes as well.
The highlight of the meal is this katsu cutlet bowl with vegan tofu egg and burdock. They replicate the egg pretty perfectly using ‘yuba’ which is tofu skin. The texture is soft and melty, just like a runny egg that you’d expect to see in a rice bowl like this. The katsu is also well-made with crispy crust and meaty texture.
Another dish is this omelette rice. Ask for the vegan version of this. It also uses soft tofu skin as the omelette part, covering white rice. The sauce is a basic tomato sauce. Overall it’s not as flavorful as the katsu bowl.
For dessert and drink, I’d recommend a pass if you are not really craving for them. The chocolate cake is average and the blood orange juice tastes pretty bad like a cough drink.
Another thing to keep in mind is that the food doesn’t come out fast. So allocate more time if you plan to go.
Pros: Katsu cutlet bowl is great, Friendly service
Cons: Some dishes are underwhelming, Waiting time for food is quite long

Great vegetarian food - Edit
The owners explained their menu from the start that they are meat free, seafood free and egg free. Some dishes contain dairy but that too can be arranged. Love their menu.
Read morePros: Tasty variety of foods
Cons: Getting there(Nagoya branch)

one of my fav in Nagoya! - Edit
If you are looking for a fine cuisine in Nagoya, this is it. Although they use a bit of MSG, I can tell it is to the minimum, and the food feels clean. (I’m quite picky when it comes to quality of food!)
Read moreSome foods do not use any MSG, so you can also request your order to be without it.
Everything I had was of a top quality like what you would get from ryotei in Kyoto.
I def recommend you trying this restaurant when you are in Nagoya!

Vegan sushi - Edit
It's the night before my marathon and I was craving for carbohydrates. This place is a bit far from my hotel and I came here all the way by taxi. I am happy that I met the English-speaking staff who is dining with her family here. I was able to talk to the staff to have more information. The menu is with photos and there are labels to tell whether it contains dairy. So it's easy to understand what they are.
Read moreI ordered vegan sushi and a ramen. The ramen is in thick miso soup. I love the texture of the ramen. It's chewy. The vegan sushi takes much more time. The vegan sushi set is with 8 pieces (4 kinds and 2pcs each). There are konjac sushi (like squid), avocado, tomato and grilled eggplant. Very delicious.
There is also a little shop here selling vegetarian / vegan stuff. They have their own brand of noodles and soy meat to sell.
Pros: Great food, Menu with pictures
Cons: Location is not so convenient
