About

This small King's Cross Japanese restaurant serves an all-vegan menu of tapas-style plates, including miso aubergine, mapo tofu and tofu steak, alongside ramen and set lunches. The intimate dining room also functions as an art gallery and sometimes hosts live music; reviews praise the friendly, quick service, though several diners find tapas portions small for the price.
