Dashi
Dashi blends a casual ramen bar vibe with an upstairs izakaya offering Japanese small plates alongside beer, wine, and cocktails. The vegan ramen, though not listed on the menu, can be made upon request and is praised by many, especially when enhanced with grilled avocado and marinated tofu. Salt levels in dishes can be high, and vegan options require asking staff to adjust the vegetarian offerings accordingly, with care needed around fried items due to shared oil use.
