Tasty japanese food

Japanese curry was tasty, not the best I have had but good. Matcha cheesecake was also nice, could have done with more matcha flavor. But overall a nice experience and staff are friendly.

Pros: Many options

Good sushi and ramen!

Went there for dinner, there's a vegan option for every type of dish (ramen, poke, curry, etc.). The avocado maki was good as was the tofu ramen!

Best matcha latte in London

Only tried their matcha latte and it was the best I had in London. I had it with coconut milk delicious!
The restaurant was very busy with a queue of people waiting to be seated.

Good choice for lunch near the museums

This small Japanese restaurant can get crowded but it's worth a visit. It has a good selection of vegan dishes, including a vegan cheesecake for dessert.
It's all the Japanese home cooking classics like curry and rice bowls, I was very happy to find they served Japanese potato salad which I have never seen anywhere else (it's nice!).

Pros: Good menu

Cons: Can get crowded

Yummy for your tummy :)

A small but fine selection of vegan dishes. The matcha cake is exceptionally good.
Could offer more vegan options in the future, there is great potential.

Delicious!

Wow, the food here was amazing! I tried the pumpkin katsu curry and the miso soup. The pumpkin katsu curry was incredible! I was shocked at how well the pumpkin worked in the dish. Delicious curry paired with crunchy fried cutlets, it was amazing! The miso soup was almost a bit too salty, but it was still pretty good. Definitely recommend coming here if you love this type of food!

Pretty good for vegan options

As there is lack of fully vegan/vegetarian restaurants in this area, we went to Tombo for dinner. They have a few vegan options which are pretty good.

Ideal lunch spot with must-have matcha

Came here for a quick lunch after being in the museums, and had bento, sushi, and matcha. Matcha was for sure the star of the show

Pros: amazing matcha, plenty of choice, beautifully presented

Cons: Servers could be more attentive, More vegan desserts?

Delicious healthy meal

I had a vegan pumpkin donburi and a iced oat matcha. The matcha was pretty good, but the donburi I found to be outstanding. The setting is quite nice, and I found the service to be quite good.

Delicious!

Found this place after going to the Natural History Museum and before heading to the theatre. Took my food to do but the “to go” service was great, and the containers used were all recyclable too. Even after transporting it 30 mins on the Underground in the rain.. still so delicious! The Eggplant Poke Bowl (don’t remember the exact name) was insanely good and I def had to try the Matcha Cheesecake! It was also good but the Poke bowl was probably better. These were the only things I tried but both were great!

Great matcha cheesecake

We went here for a little afternoon matcha latte and cheesecake and it was delicious. The matcha was served boiling hot but tasty nevertheless. Would definitely come back for the cake!

Pros: Matcha cheesecake, Friendly staff

Vegan Takoyaki!

Was very pleasantly surprised by the vegan options here, several items were marked 'New' on the menu including the delicious vegan takoyaki (an edamame bean instead of octopus). I had the mapo tofu for main but there were several things to choose from among poke, ramen, curry and donburi. I had melonpan (with an oat cream) for dessert but it was a little disappointing, compared to the melonpan I had in Japan - should have maybe chosen the matcha cheesecake instead. All in all great little spot with something to please both vegans and non-vegans, my partner said his salmon poke dish was delicious as well.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Reasonable price for London, Cute decor

Cons: Service became a little slow when they got busy

Very good veggie food

Not been here since going fully vegan, but there are plenty of vegan options. Food is a bit pricey but it’s good quality!
