" Had a mixed experience at The Yasai. The food was good - the ramen had a great depth of flavor - but the atmosphere was quite crowded, and the server forgot our dessert order. Despite these hiccups, I can appreciate the effort behind the dishes. It's worth a visit, just be prepared for a busy environment! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a charming little place! The ambiance is perfect for a casual dinner with friends or a date night. The menu offers a great variety of vegan sushi, and I'm a huge fan of the Stressed Out rolls. The only downside was we had to wait quite a while for our food, but it was definitely worth it in the end. Highly recommend visiting! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was lucky enough to dine here just last week and I honestly can't say enough about the quality. The ramen was rich and hearty, and every bite was satisfying. The vegan sushi was exceptionally well done and creative. The atmosphere does get a bit hectic, especially during rush hour, so try to go at an off-peak time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited last weekend and was blown away by the creativity of the dishes. The vegan sushi rolls were as good as any traditional sushi I've had. The staff was friendly and made great recommendations. Just be prepared to share the space with some meat eaters, as it is connected to another restaurant. Aside from that, a fantastic experience! Will definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" The Yasai is a delight for vegan food lovers. I was worried about taste, but everything we tried was packed with flavor! The agedashi tofu was crispy and the bao buns melted in my mouth. However, the service was slightly slow and it took a while to get our drinks. Still, the food definitely made up for it. " (*Curated Review*)

" The Yasai is a gem for anyone looking for delicious vegan options! I ordered the Stressed Out roll and the Agedashi Tofu, and both were fantastic. Service was mostly friendly, though it took a while to get our drinks. I'd love to come back and keep exploring the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" The Yasai has a delightful selection of vegan dishes, but I found some of the flavors to be too mild for my liking. The portions were adequate but not generous. I enjoy the atmosphere a lot and the friendly staff enhance the experience. Overall, a nice meal but could use bolder flavors! " (*Curated Review*)
