Minimal effort - Edit
We came across this Japanese-style restaurant, which is located on the second floor and requires you to remove your shoes, at 4 p.m. but apparently they normally stop serving at 2 p.m. However, the person in charge agreed to make us something. As the only vegan in my group, I was given vegan spaghetti, no other options, so it's hard to know what might have been if we'd arrived earlier. They did also several types of beer. Our server was pretty slouchy. We had to repeatedly go to him with questions because he never approached our table, except once, to deliver the food.

Cons: Only one vegan option at the time we were there, Server was inattentive

Pretty Good - Edit
We came at an awkward time where lots of places were closed but this was open. Okay pricing but servings are on the smaller side. nice for people watching though!
