Just okay

Was super excited to get vegan bento here, but the taste was disappointing. I ordered the hamburger steak bento, and it was very bland. The rice tasted undercooked, and overall the meal was too expensive for what it was. I wouldn’t recommend going out of your way to come here.

Pros: Friendly owner

Cons: Bad taste, Expensive

Not that good

I got the hamburger set and it honestly didn’t taste that good😒sad because I was very excited to try a vegan bento box. It was like 1,400¥, not worth it.

Cons: Taste, Price

The Bento Box we needed 🤌

After a long morning strolling through temples and Kyoto it was time to eat. We easily found our way in and ordered fast, super friendly and very fast. We took the lunch a few meters down to a park and enjoyed it 🌸

Pros: Good portion , Warmed up, Fast

Vegan Bento Boxes

Love that they offer vegan bento.
However, we waited to long to eat ours and it didn't taste that good anymore when it was cold. I recommend to eat it very soon :)

Great takeaway option when visiting temples

I have stopped by a couple of times when they open to pick up takeaway lunch and snacks for the day before heading to temples around kyoto. Would recommend! Always tasty and good value for money!

Pros: Good value for money

Really good😄

The food is very good, but if you order a couple of dishes it can get a little expensive, so beware😉
You can’t eat inside but there’s a small playground nearby and they have Picknick tables😄

Good on-the-go vegan food

The wraps we had were pretty delicious. The desserts were average though. Can't eat at the restaurant as it's takeaway only. But! There is a community park down the road where you can sit and have your meal while watching Japanese families enjoy some downtime :)

Pros: Cheap lunch option, The chef is lovely and welcoming

Cons: Ok desserts

Affordable & Filling

This vegan/gluten-free take-out spot fills a huge need in this college area. It's cheap, hearty, tasty, and quick.

This is the first purposefully gluten-free food I've had in Kyoto that isn't one-note.

Pros: inexpensive, quick, comfort food

Cons: take-out only
