Praised for: friendly staff

Dashi is a ramen-focused Japanese restaurant and bar featuring chefs who prepare dishes in front of guests. Although primarily omnivore with limited vegan options, their vegan ramen—available upon request rather than on the menu—is often praised as a standout dish; some reviewers note it can be quite salty. The ambiance combines casual dining with an izakaya cocktail bar vibe, suitable for those seeking a unique ramen experience and creative drinks.
