Review of Salad Lunch Plate at Ain Soph. Journey Shinjuku by windgal

🍽️ Found this cute little cafe via Google. While I enjoyed my Salad lunch set (which came with a generous portion of fresh veggie salad 🥗😊 + short-grained brown rice + karaage "fried chicken" + mini side dishes), I didn't think it was 5 stars. In my humble opinion the karaage was at best an amateurish attempt; the crust was soft and overly loaded with salt, while the mini side dish salad (🥕 and mango) and salad dressing was a tad too acidic and sourish (even for someone with a high threshold for sour food). The olive oil in the main salad dressing felt thick and heavy.

That said, the presentation was good. Given the lack of readily available vegan options in Japan in general, this is still a solid option.
