"I went to Rakuya with a group of friends because we were nearby and wanted to have dinner somewhere enjoyable for everyone. The reviews on Google made it sound quite vegan-friendly, so we decided on Rakuya. When I checked the menu, I was excited to see several vegan options, and they sounded delicious. However, I first tried to order the veggie bento box, only to find out it wasn’t vegan since both the tempura and tofu were fried with eggs, and they couldn’t make any substitutions. I didn’t want to make a fuss, so I opted for the veggie sushi board, which sounded impressive, but I was quite disappointed. The veggie sushi rolls were much smaller and less satisfying compared to what my friends ordered. They were mostly filled with just avocado and cucumber, and there was one sashimi-like item with a leaf, and that was it. I remembered the menu mentioning mushrooms and other enticing ingredients, so I felt underwhelmed and left hungry after having just some brown rice with avocado and cucumber. To be fair, my friends' dishes looked great, but the menu didn’t clearly label vegan options, and they weren’t very accommodating for making items vegan. I wouldn’t return if I had the choice."
