About

Pelgag is a tiny, artsy cafe upstairs near Nishiki Market, where one owner-chef cooks dishes such as vegetable curry, peanut noodles and tofu sauté. Reviews praise the bold flavors and sketchbooks guests can browse or draw in while they wait; service can be slow, and some diners find the food spicy or the portions small.
