This place, for my taste, is not a good place for a vegan! Even though the pots are split into two broths, there is a lot of cross-contamination that can happen with almost no effort at all. Between serving the food out of the pots and the pots reaching a boil, broth gets all over the place. My grandpa was across from me, and they replaced my broth twice because of cross-contamination. They were very nice about everything, but for my sake it was too complicated and troublesome. I found the vegan shoyu broth to be boring in flavor. Oh and it has fish flakes in it typically - if you ask for it without fish sauce they get confused. Additionally, what comes with the vegetarian option doesn't have any flavor. It is all boring - a couple pieces of soft tofu (blech), 2 baby portobello mushrooms, 2 carrot slices, a few udon noodles, and then lots of napa cabbage, spinach, and two small clusters of enoki mushrooms. <br /><br />I am sharing this here for vegans in Sacramento also doing a google search for this place. I'm sure some will like it, but I found everything kind of sketchy...oh and the ponzu sauce and goma sauce that come with the meal are not vegan. They can make the ponzu sauce vegan, but not the goma sauce. <br /><br />I will not be back to this place, even though the service staff were very patient with my needs. <br /><br />Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02969553180362378438noreply@blogger.com
