| - Props to Matt C and Adina for introducing me to this little gem of a place. If you blink, you'll miss this new joint in the University Gardens (it replaced Sushi Boy Desu), due to it's understated signage. But you don't want to miss it! It's so good!
They specialize in crazy robot food (chicken curry or bulgogi stuffed waffles) and ramen, but are generally a sort of Asian-fusion place.
There are very few vegan options on the menu, but they are good. The edamame are served with a deliciously addictive sesame-soy sauce, and the fried tofu salad is light and refreshing. If the chef has the ingredients and is feeling generous, he make you vegan version of the Kimchee Fried Rice. It's spicy, tangy, toothsome, and all-around amazing. One of the most interesting and creative dishes I've had in a long time, and now I crave it all the time!
If you call ahead and make arrangements, I believe that they will make some special vegan things for you too! I have yet to have the foresight to do that..... although I did get a special vegan miso ramen (with rice noodles) one night.
They have a few beer and sake options and some house-made fruity/creamy drinks as well as tea (served in a large pot - no skimping here). They do some happy hour and ladies' night specials as well.
Fun atmosphere (they play old anime on the tv and have robots painted on the wall) and good service, reasonable prices. I just wish they'd add all of the special vegan things they CAN do to the regular menu!
