Obon Shokudo

Everything tasted amazing with a potential mix of umami, spice (golden cayenne), sour with their pickle flight and an herby secret for their chili crisp. The tea and the tonic were great, and the service was friendly and fast. You could bring a carnivore here and they'd be converted. Parking: Free street parking on weekends!

The food was delicious, reasonably priced and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The interior was cute with lots of art and plants. A few of the tables in the back room could use more lighting. All in all a great night out and would definitely go again.

I loved this place! Cute atmosphere, nice people, delicious and unique food options. Lots of options for people with food restrictions. Thank you!

Very yummy food and good service! Definitely recommend.

I discovered Obon S back in December and have been coming regularly since. I'm not a vegan, but I don't believe you need to be to enjoy vegan cuisine. Part of my intuitive diet is meatless and without any animal product. Whether you just want to enjoy good food or you're looking for a change in how you eat, this is a great spot to do so. I love their creative dishes, which are flavorful, and some have the spice that I desire. My favorite and recommended dishes are the kakiage (so yummy), the kinzanji miso glazed tofu (the golden Cayenne option has a nice amount of spice), the giant tots, udon salad, and side salad. You can add a side salad to meals for 3 bucks. Love that. My single complaint is that there have been at least 3 times where I've had the absolute minimal amount of sesame dressing, to the point I was just tasting lettuce. The sesame dressing is delicious, and you get more dining in versus ordering to-go. The service is great. Everyone is friendly and personable. For me, the location is prime because it's close by enough to walk. Parking is largely street parking. Highly recommend it!
