An old standby that’s still so good after two decades around on Shattuck. The staff some of whom have been around since the beginning. I hope to return soon! It’s a destination for me.

in the top 3 best vegan restaurant in berkeley in my opinion, been here forever, always good, you can order more salty/fried things if you want that, or order more simple, not so salty, not friend things if you are in the mood for that. it really has everything. the berkeley location is definitely better than the valencia street location, but i still love them both <3
love the hasami age, mikuri age, bao bun, pumpkin soup, inari, vege-tofu curry!
cash only!

This place is in the heart of Berkeley. It has been around for years now and has a refined menu with lots of options. Simply prepared with wonderful flavors. My favorite was the sesame sauce in the broccolini and blanced spinach. As well, the sauce on the sea vegetables was smooth, creamy and delicious. I can’t wait to go back. It was 25 dollars each person, and we were happy with that. No leftovers, but satisfied.

It was okay but with so many great places in the neighborhood I probably won’t come back. We had the Cha-ya roll and the sansai noodles. The roll was okay but the batter was quite thick, not light and fluffy like great tempura. The sauce was okay but not great. The soup was really salty. Prices are reasonable.

Nice vegetarian Japanese restaurant.
Everything we ordered was great and we’d love to explore more of the menu.
Would recommend.

The food quality is good. However, be aware that this is a vegetarian restaurant. I was expecting seafood sushi. It’s a bit disappointing. They don’t offer dine in for now. You need to make an order in person or phone and then pay through cash or Venmo.

Amazing vegetarian food, flavorful but without any fat. A large variety of soups for a cold day, the menu itself is huge and has a lot of options.
It is a bit sad inside, maybe some music would make the ambiance better.
It is cash or Venmo only.

love love love this place so much thank u. my only really big issue is that they’re cash only and a little pricey. if they took card i would eat here every single day
vegetable tempura – 10/10
standard. delicious!! they use asparagus and string beans which is not typical for veg tempura
soba – 10/10
good both with or without soup! the soup has a really tasty and comforting broth. i usually add kitsune (sweet tofu pouch) to the soup
soba salad – 10/10
beautiful and soooo good. makes for really impressive photos and tastes really refreshing. this is literally the only salad i’ve ever enjoyed with sliced strawberries
i have to come back more to try everything else!!

AMAZING vegetarian & vegan restaurant!!

I’ve been wanting to visit this place since my second year in Berkeley, and I’m glad I finally did!
You can tell they made their food with great care and the ingredients are yummy and fresh!
The staff are very nice; the vibe inside is clean and chill. This is a great place for you to hang out with a small group of friends or come alone to recharge your mental health (I mean seriously, their food is tasty, healthy, and pretty!)
I’d definitely come back very often to try out all other creative cuisines!

Amazing food. It feels like a home-cooked meal. Everything is vegan, too, so I can eat everything nom nom.
You should bring cash or be ready to pay via Venmo.
