Omoté is typically crowded with hungry diners looking to grab a bowl of its affordable chirashi don. The signature Omoté-chirashi don ($17.90) comes with a generous serving of diced seafood atop tangy sushi rice.

While Lucky Cat bills itself as a “fusion meatless” diner, the menu leans more Japanese. The neighbourhood eatery puts a plant-based spin on the hearty cuisine to create healthier creations that don’t taste, or look, too far from the real deal. You'll find sushi made with konjac salmon; Tofunagi Maki ($12), which uses tofu, fried then glazed with a salty-sweet marinade, to create a rice roll filled with crunch and flavour; and somen served with yuzu ponzu broth. More familiar is the Japanese curry katsu don, where slick curry with chunks of potato and carrot comes ladled over fluffy rice and a meaty soy patty.

Other convenient one-bowl meals feature katsu curry rice with Kagoshima pork cutlet ($23.02), fried rice cooked with wagyu beef drippings ($28.37), and more.
