Yummy yummy ramen. - Edit
This place has 2 vegan ramens, and vegan dumplings CLEARLY labeled on the ticket machine.
Read moreI had the zesty, and my friend had the other one.
I thought it was absolutely delicious. The dumplings were sooo good as well.
I just found it weird that you have to put your money into the ticket machine before making selections. If you're having a few things, and not the best at maths, you have to add it all up first.
Pros: Extremely fast service.

Great food, easy to order - Edit
We went here twice in 4 days, because we liked, was easy to order, closes late and finding a table was not hard. Bad things are the fact that you have only 2 types of vegan ramen and one of them is VERY spicy (still is tasty), but the other option is just perfect, so creamy and full of flavour!! It was our favourite ramen in Japan. The veggie gyozas are great, our friend that eats meat actually loved them.
Read moreThe cash only thing is also in the downside, but the place it's not that expensive so not a big deal. And hey, good location as you can go to the arcade after the meal or even to the board game café ;D
Pros: Great flavours and textures, the veggie gyozas are VERY good, easy to order, busy but not hard to find a table
Cons: Not that many options, the zesty ramen was too spicy for me

Good but not the best - Edit
The ramen was good but not the best ramen I’ve had here. Also, the spot is a little touristy so not the best if you’re looking for a more traditional place.
Read morePros: Clear English menu with labeled veg options
Cons: Touristy

Pretty good option - Edit
While it only has two options of vegan ramen, it was a relief for me to find a good ramen I could eat during my visit to Kyoto (September 23th-25th 2019). I went 3 times in a row, as my carnivore family members did love it too. Had both options, which were very tasty. The Zesty ramen is quite spicy, which I like, but be careful if you’re not into it. The veggie dumplings were amazing too.
Read morePros: Good flavor, Good cost-benefit relation, Got to taste a vegan version of ramen in Japan
Cons: Very few options (2 ramen and veggie dumplings)

Awesome Ramen! - Edit
Two ramen options here - zesty and beany and both are delicious. The zesty is pretty hot and spicy and the bean one is creamy with lovely mushrooms. Also crispy veggie gyoza. Super easy to order - machine with English and clearly labelled vegan options. Ramen, gyoza (6) and extra onions for well under ¥2000. The Ramen is also really different to other ramen I’ve had in Japan but really yummy.

Delicious Ramen for all! - Edit
Such a great centrally locates ramen place! Thankfully the vegan ramen is full of creamy deliciousness! And you get to order from a machine which is kind of neat. The ginger ale is also especially good. I highly recommend dinner here on your trip to Kyoto.

Zesty Ramen - Edit
The zesty ramen regular spicy level is just nice for me, broth is rich and thick, much flavorful than other vegetarian ramen I have tried before. Would be better if there are more veggies or mushroom included :)
Read morePros: Cosy environment, Rich broth, Friendly staff
Cons: Little more pricy

Perfect creaminess & texture - finally a great vegan ramen! - Edit
I've struggled to find a vegetarian or vegan ramen that has the same creaminess of normal ramen. This was just the place! The ramen was absolutely delicious: creamy and perfect texture. Absolutely recommend :)

Solo Eating a-okay - Edit
I had the vegan ramen and it was tasty but it was also a bit salty for me. I liked the veggies that had in and how creamy it was. I also like that it was good on my digestive system since alot of stuff in Korea havent been agreeing with me lately (mostly the rice). I thought that Kyoto was vegetarian friendly.

Cons: Salty

Awesome vegan ramen - Edit
Really good with allergies (I’m allergic to egg), I showed them google translate on my phone and they went and passed on the info to the kitchen. Tried both vegan ramens, both epic and well priced at 1200 yen each.

Best vegan ramen - Edit
We've gone here pretty much every time we've been in Kyoto.
Read moreThe broth is earthy, thick and flavorful, and everything inside it is top notch too.
It's very filling so I wouldn't recommend the big serving option unless you have a huge appetite.
There's only one option for vegans but it's so good that I don't mind at all.
Pros: Delicious, Price is reasonable
Cons: Can get a bit crowded

Delicious ramen - Edit
When you enter the restaurant to place an order you use a vending machine. I ordered the vegan curry gyoza here and some ramen. It was very delicious! I 100% recommend visiting this place if you get the chance! It is fairly expensive around 1000+ yen for dishes but worth every penny you pay.

Great ramen - Edit
We had the two vegetarian ramen and they were really great. The staff is sensitive to allergies and is possible to remove a few ingredients as everything is fresh made.
