Okimaro — Restaurant in Tokyo

The food was ok for my partner/his parents, as they eat meat etc. We went there as it said "vegan options available", absolutely not. Not even vegetarian. They gave me noodles with crab meat in it and fish. They don't cater to vegans/vegetarians. If you have allergies, like I do, please avoid!

We ordered the Agu Pork Gyoza (¥690), the Okinawan Soba (¥1000) and the Grilled Chicken Bowl (¥1000). Despite the simplicity of these dishes, they were tasty and had a lovely home cooked feel to them.

The restaurant was a bit limited with seating, but the staff were lovely...
