Daikokuya
Daikokuya is a small Japanese ramen restaurant known for its two flavorful vegan ramen options including a spicy and a creamy white sesame broth. The interior is cozy and minimalist, reminiscent of a traditional hole-in-the-wall noodle bar in Japan, with limited seating and options for outdoor dining. Regulars praise its large portions, reasonable prices, and attentive service, though some noted inconsistency in vegan dish preparation and occasional service moodiness.
