You must reply by the above date, as I am working with the owner to ensure all
Kimchi is vegan. On any other night, oyster sauce is added to most kimchi
dishes. I am also going to have the owner make special dishes that are not on

will be making a dish or two w/o sugar. If you are interested, please let me
know, so I can give him a count on the special dish.
