" Visiting from out of town, I was drawn in by the enticing menu at Obon Shokudo. I ordered the okonomiyaki and couple of onigiris—both were fantastic! I especially loved the balance of flavors in the onigiri, making it both comforting and informative in flavors. The staff was friendly and offered great recommendations. The vibe is casual and relaxed, making it easy to unwind while eating. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful discovery! Obon Shokudo blew my mind with their creative vegan takes on Japanese classics. The tofu katsu was crispy and paired perfectly with their homemade sauce. The interior of the restaurant has such a nice rustic vibe that makes you feel at home. Honestly, I found the portions a tad on the smaller side, but the flavor makes up for it. Can't recommend this place enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely dinner at Obon Shokudo! Their vegan twist on traditional Japanese cuisine was very impressive. The katsu was one of my favorites, and the desserts were equally spectacular! The only downside was ordering via QR code, which felt awkward at times. Overall, though, a great experience that I’d love to repeat! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have mixed feelings about this place. While the food had some solid flavors, certain dishes didn't live up to my high expectations in terms of authenticity. The atmosphere was pleasant with friendly service, but I was hoping for a bit more innovation in their vegan menu. Overall, it was a good meal, but I might not rush back immediately. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a wonderful surprise Obon Shokudo was! I didn’t know vegan Japanese food could taste this good. The flavors in the dishes were vibrant and incredibly bold. The tofu katsu had such great texture, almost resembling chicken! I loved the atmosphere too—intimate yet casual. Portions were on the smaller side but given the quality of the food, it felt justified. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant came highly recommended, and it didn’t disappoint! Given the all-vegan menu, I was amazed at how they managed to deliver almost authentic Japanese flavors. The curry was hearty and flavorful, just perfect for a cozy evening. Would certainly bring friends here for a unique dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for authentic Japanese flavors in a plant-based format, Obon Shokudo is definitely worth a visit. The menu is diverse, and I was particularly impressed by their attention to detail in every dish. The ambience feels like a cozy retreat from the city life. I appreciated the organic approach and local sourcing of ingredients. A great overall dining experience; I will recommend to friends. " (*Curated Review*)
