El tofu que te cambia la vida

Visitar los restaurantes de Yukiko Uno siempre es para estar de enhorabuena. En UNO RAMEN - Sanjo se cuidan los detalles, tanto es así que tendrás que hacer la «ceremonia japonesa» del primer al último paso. Por ello, tienes que dejar los zapatos en unas curiosas y bonitas cajetillas, con la mesa asignada y sentado en el tatami te explican el funcionamiento del restaurante, recibes tus cubiertos y así es como te dispones a comer. Itadakimasu!

Allí se comió, y de qué manera. Pude degustar varios platos compartidos; sin saberlo fue de peor a mejor. El listado empieza por las croquetas Okara junto a otra croqueta con bolas de «carne» hechas de soja y base de curry con arroz, los noodles Dandan Gekka y el tofu de la casa. Y aquí hay que parar, hacer una mención aparte. El tofu que se «sirve» es el mejor que he probado en mi vida. El entrecomillado de servir se debe a que ese tofu lo preparas tú mismo, un experimento que lejos de salir mal, te prepara para llevarte una de las mejores experiencias que este país puede ofrecerte. A fuego lento se cocina con sus propias especias y ya una vez fermentado a la boca directo: una sensación verdaderamente ascética. Cuando volví al mundo terrenal añadí un postre a la cuenta: un sucedáneo de flan de chocolate verdaderamente exquisito. Mención adicional merece el espacio del local en su totalidad: comedor estrícticamente tradicional, con decoración inigualable y un patio que invita a pasar allí todo el tiempo que quieras.

De todos los restaurantes que he visitado en Japón hasta la fecha, este fue seguramente en el que tuve una comida más redonda: del barrio de Gion siempre recordaré este tofu único, el ambiente distendido y un servicio de cinco estrellas (a pesar de las barreras idiomáticas). ¡Larga vida a Yukiko!

Traditional feel

It was a trek for us to get here, but so worth it. I chose the traditional soy milk ramen, and it was my favorite ramen from the trip so far. We also chose the cheese covered rice dish, the cheese had a texture very much like dairy melty cheese. The dumplings were good, but the cheese dish was better. I also drank a rose plum wine. It was very light, and a nice accompaniment to the meal. Be aware that abiut half the seats require you to sit on the floor. My dad was not stretchy enough for this, and was very uncomfortable. We asked to move to the more elevated seats as soon as some opened up, and they were very accommodating and let us move. Reservations definitely required.

Pros: Tons of investing ramen and non ramen options

Cons: May he difficult for some people to sit

Top tier ramen

Me and my partner came without a reservation, but the lady was kind enough to provide us with a special seating in the «private» room next to the garden. Reservation is recommended!

The ramen we got was hands down the best ramen I’ve had! The soy milk broth was delicious and creamy, and the noodles and vegetables was infused with umami. The crème-brûlée dessert was also very satisfying. If you’re looking for a special ramen experience, this is it!

Klasse vegane Ramen

Absolut großartige vegane Ramen! Wir waren während unseres Aufenthalts in Kyoto direkt zweimal hier – das sagt eigentlich schon alles. Die Brühe war sehr aromatisch und intensiv, die Nudeln perfekt.
Dazu kommt eine entspannte Atmosphäre und ein Laden, in den man sofort gerne nochmal zurückkehrt. Für vegane Ramen in Kyoto eine absolute Empfehlung!

Manchmal ist weniger mehr

Die Ramen haben echt sehr viele Zutaten, ich würde sogar fast schon sagen zu viele. Dazu hatte die Brühe einen etwas säuerlichen Beigeschmack, der an Essiggurken erinnerte. Was hat Salat in Ramen zu suchen?
Die Dumplings haben schon fast zu echt nach Schweinefleisch geschmeckt und die Teigschicht hat sich komplett gelöst, sodass ein Teil davon in dem Behälter kleben blieb. Die Misosuppe meines Sitznachbars hat nach Urin gerochen. Verstehe den Hype um das Restaurant nicht um ehrlich zu sein.

Delicious

Located on the 10th floor of Kyoto station. Had ramen, a bowl of rice with vegan cheese, some gyozas on the side, homemade coke and vanilla ice cream to top it off. Delicious, some of the best ramen I've had.

Pros: Food

Loved the ramen and gyozas

We ordered the soy milk ramen and a number of sides. The flavor of the broth really stood out as exceptional and the fried gyozas were our favorite of the sides. The ambiance of the restaurant was also very nice, including a garden and beautiful decor.

Pros: Flavor and texture preparation, Ambiance / aesthetics

Un-satisfied

All in all a disappointing dining experience at UNO Ramen. We called by the restaurant in person to find out if we could make a reservation for the following day, to be told that we needed to book online, which we subsequently did. The online options only permitted us to book an overpriced set menu, which we had to pay for online in advance. The basic set we chose was called the “Satisfied” set and we were anything but satisfied with our meal.

On arrival at the restaurant, it was unclear to us whether they were especially short-staffed on the night, but the service was chaotic. The single server, though friendly and well-intentioned, seemed rushed off her feet. Consequently we - and guests on adjacent tables - were left for long periods of time between courses, accompanying sauces missing and crockery not provided, water wasn’t offered and we needed to ask more than once for the drinks menu on our table, as did the customers on the two adjacent tables. The food was nothing out of the ordinary - the vegan sushi was beautiful to look at and tasty, though would have been nicer if the server had remembered our soy sauce at the same time. Not sure if it was just a bad night, but we would have expected much better for the price and from the reviews. The Tan-tan noodles are pretty ordinary - maybe try the fast food T Tan-Tan restaurant at Tokyo Train Station (five stars) instead for vegan ramen!

Be sure to check out the menu options before booking, as other diners were clearly able to order a la carte. Or better still, go somewhere else - there are plenty of other more professional and more affordable vegan options fo be had in Kyoto.

Lecker, aber teuer.

Es gibt 4 Rahmen und Nachtische wie Cookies und Eis. Es gibt auch Bentoboxen. Rahmen schmeckt lecker, jedoch auch teuer. Einfacher Rahmen kostet 2.310 Yen = 12,30€ stand 04/2026. In Touristenvierteln habe ich vergleichbare auch schon für 1.500 Yen gegessen. Der Laden befindet sich rechts vom Central Eingang im JR ISETAN (Stockwerk 10F)

Very unique experience

Coming here was a very unique experience! I felt like this place was a little bit more elegant than others (you have to take your shoes off, very calm atmosphere etc.) and so was the food. It's a little expensive but so worth it!
I tried most of the sushi (with vegan shrimps or vegan squid). Some were better than others but every piece was exciting. I really fell in love with their homemade specialty: grilled yuba and vegan cheese. It tasted like an omelette with cheese on rice and I don't know if it has anything to do with sushi but it was insanely delicious! 😍
Also try the sake! It comes in a wooden box and when you finish your glass you just continue drinking out of the box it was crazy and so fun 😄

The setting is beautiful - although sitting on the floor was not the comfiest but was such a cool experience! We booked and had a set menu which included making our own tofu which was a nice touch. The food was phenomenal and I have never left a restaurant so full!

Beautiful place and service

I went to the original one several times in 2023 and went back 3 years later. This new location is so much better, the place is beautiful and the ramen was better here too (maybe I just got a bad one in the original location).
You have way more space here and also in a traditional design. Staff is very friendly

Wife says 800 stars to this

we loved our late afternoon lunch. I had 2 desserts, Ramen, tofu , dumpling - loved it all. i maybe made a mess of tofu by overheating or putting the wrong spices. But we loved our experience here and the chef described each item to us.

Positive Experience, However Concern Over Ingredient Information

The food itself was fresh and well presented, and service was polite. However, I feel it’s important to highlight an issue we experienced.

On our first visit, I explicitly asked whether any dishes contained alcohol and was told no. On our second visit, I asked again and was then told that some items do contain alcohol.

For customers who avoid alcohol for religious reasons, this is not a small detail. Vegan does not automatically mean alcohol-free. Being given incorrect information is concerning, and staff should be fully informed about ingredients when asked directly.

I hope this feedback is taken constructively, as transparency is essential.

餐點蠻好吃的,但是純素者要確認是否有五腥

豆乳拉麵蠻好吃的,但是炸餃子有五腥,可樂餅也有點五辛的味道,猜測可能和炸餃子用同一鍋油的關係,東方純素者要特別注意。

Pros: 豆乳拉麵
