We are a big fan of Asian cuisine and visited The Sushi Samurai in Queen Anne to satisfy our cravings. However, finding a Vegan Asian restaurant in the US is always a challenge.
But one day, we came across this amazing vegan Japanese restaurant in Queen Anne, Seattle. We spotted this cozy restaurant and we instantly decided to visit the restaurant, and to our surprise, it turned out better than we expected. We were impressed by everything so much that I decided to pen down this post!
