Soban Vegan Restaurant

Soban Vegan Restaurant is entirely vegan-run; the sole owner-operator cooks all meals and confirmed the author's vegan status on arrival. The menu is entirely plant-based, making the kitchen structurally safe for vegan diets. No cross-contact mitigations are documented, but the kitchen's single-owner model significantly reduces risk of non-vegan ingredients being introduced. A wait may be expected as food is made from scratch.

The entire menu is vegan. Every dish is inherently vegetarian-friendly as a result. The owner-operator prepares all dishes and ensures no meat or fish ingredients are used. Vegetarian-specific mark-ups are not listed, but the kitchen's plant-based focus means vegetarian diners can safely eat any item without cross-contact from non-vegetarian items.

Limited information is available for gluten-free dining at Soban Vegan Restaurant. The menu includes some naturally gluten-free options such as soybean paste tofu jjigae (stew) and soy chik'n, but there is no mention of dedicated fryers, separate prep areas, or trained staff for coeliac requirements. A general warning on a (possibly different venue's) menu about bean paste stew containing 'a tiny bit of gluten' suggests some dishes may contain gluten. Call ahead to confirm gluten-free practices before visiting.
