OH YES - Edit
This is what I was hoping vegan ramen in Japan would be!
Read moreThere are 2 vegan ramens: "Bean-ing Vegan Ramen" and "Zesty Vegan".
Bean-ing has a creamy soy-milk based broth while Zesty is a bit lighter and definitely more on the brighter, spicy side. Apples and oranges in terms of comparing them, both are incredible.
Staff was friendly and accommodating. You order from the ticket machine and hand your order to the lovely waitress / hostess. The chefs themselves brought out our ramen which was a such a nice touch. Couldn't say enough about how delicious it was. Still wish I could go back!
Pros: Delicious ramen, friendly staff, centrally-located

Best ramens in Japan! - Edit
Best ramens i ever had! We went there twice during our stay in Kyoto. I tried the 2 vegan ramen options, both was absoluty delicious! We also tried the vegan goyza, amazing.

Ramen restaurant where you order at a machine at the door then sit down. Amazing staff, super nice restaurant, great beer and sake! The vegan “beaning” ramen was so so good and the large size was perfect! Loved this experience!

Good ramen - Edit
I tried the two vegan ramen : beaning ramen (very good) and the zesty ramen (a bit too spicy for me). The veggies gyōza are not bad but could be more tasty. English menu.

Amazing vegan ramen - Edit
I had the zesty vegan ramen, and it should be noted that by "zesty", they mean "hot enough to burn your insides" - I had to pick out most of the chillis before eating it! But it was so, so tasty - the soup has a soya cream base, so it's really rich and satisfying. You can also choose gluten-free noodles, and the lovely staff member who served us made a point of checking that we didn't have any allergies before taking our order to the kitchen, so people with food allergies/sensitivities can feel very reassured here.

Amazing Vegan Ramen! - Edit
I had the zesty version of this vegan ramen which has a thick soup and sancho (locally famous pepper) spice to it. The plain version is equally good. This is the best vegan ramen I’ve had in any country and for me is better than Ippudo London. The vegan dumplings are also nice for dipping in the sauce. This is definitely a hearty meal. Easy ordering through English vending machine. Insert your money, choose your options, get your tickets & change. Ice tea & water complimentary. Beer & sake also available.
Read morePros: Full hearty meal, Great choice if traveling with non vegetarians

Tasty ramen, easy ordering and a great menu... but a western dining experience - Edit
The food is fantastic, the menu is in English, the staff friendly... but I could be sitting in any English speaking country. So if you want great food with vegan and vegetarian options this place is perfect, but if you want a Japanese atmosphere this isn’t the place.

Best vegan ramen of the holiday - Edit
I'm no ramen connoisseur, but I've tried quite a few vegan ramen dishes over the last two weeks in Japan.
Read moreThe zesty vegan ramen was creamy, tasty and with the perfect amount of spice. The vegetable gyozas were a little unusual, but tasty.
The staff were incredibly friendly. Overall, a wonderful experience!
Pros: Delicious vegan ramen, Lovely staff

Very good vegan ramen - Edit
I had the spicy vegan ramen - labelled ‘zesty vegan’ and it was delicious. Quite spicy, but I enjoyed that aspect. Vegan dumplings are not as good as I was expecting. Waitress very nice

"Yesty ramen" hit the spicy spot - Edit
Two vegan ramen options on the menu. Nice balance of flavors with way more to it than some noodles in a broth. Spicy one packs a punch. Staff friendly and speak English.
