The best ramen I’ve ever eaten !! - Edit
Great atmosphere, perfect ramen.
Read moreThe menu was so easy all the vegan options were labelled !! 10/10 I would give 5 starts but the app only allows 4. Paid around ¥1800 for ramen and the soup dumplings are ¥800 and you get free iced tea with your meal !! Sat at the bar you you can watch it getting made !! Altogether an amazing experience !!
Pros: The people who worked there were lovely , Good vegan options , Great atmosphere/ vibe
Cons: Absolutely nothing

This ramen will blow your mind! - Edit
The vegan ramen is the best I have ever had. It is so creamy and flavourful. The zesty ramen is a little spicy and so delicious. The beaning ramen is so smooth and yummy too. I can’t decide which one is my favourite!! There wasn’t a line when we went but would defs wait for the best ramen in the world!!!

Better than other vegan ramens - Edit
This was a great soy-based ramen, thick but not too creamy. The noodles were high quality too. While it was a great ramen and the best I had in Japan, it is still 2nd in my book to Ramen by Uzu in Union Market, Washington, DC. It would benefit from a good assortment of vegetables and tofu, but, nevertheless, it was a great ramen.

Very delicious ramen and nice atmosphere - Edit
Great vegan ramen. I got the Zesty Ramen for Vegan and it was both really creamy and flavorable, with the chilis in it adding a great flavor. The price is definitely higher than other places, but the food does deliver.
Read moreThey also have kelp vinegar, chili gin, and roast sesame that can be added for toppings as well as complimentary tea with unlimited refills.
Pros: Friendly staff, Complementary iced tea with refills, Free toppings
Cons: Pricey for what it is

Such amazing ramen - Edit
We got the Vegan Beaning Ramen and it was absolutely incredible!! Love the vibe of the restaurant as well! It gets busy so you may have to wait until you can get a seat, but it's totally worth it!

Incredible vegan ramen - Edit
Some of the best ramen I’ve ever had, vegan or not. Must visit if you’re a ramen fan and vegan in Kyoto. Would give 5 stars for this dish alone if HC would let me.

Delicious vegan ramen! - Edit
There are two vegan ramens to choose from, both with soy milk bases - the difference is toppings/spice level. There’s also chilli gin & vinegar to season your meal. Really enjoyed this.

Best ramen on my trip - Edit
The ramen here was the best. You have to wait outside with a number. You get inside but you can go shopping as the waiting time they are telling you is accurately.
Read moreOnce inside everything is really quick and the ramen is reallz good.
Pros: Food, Music, Books to read while waiting
Cons: Long wait time

Decent ramen, AMAZING soup dumplings - Edit
Got the beaning vegan ramen which was nice. Make sure to get the vegan soupy dumplings too - the broth is absolutely incredible and the gyozas are very flavourful.

如果逛街逛到忘記時間,才想起來要吃飯但忘記事先預約,可以來這家。 - Edit
可能是因為一個人用餐,門市負責登記人數的店員有提供號碼條,表示大約等候15-50分鐘(實際現場等候大約15分鐘)。
Read more店內是安排吧台區提供1人用餐,2人以上就會是一般桌區。吧台桌下有掛鉤可以掛包包(但如果不小心在用餐前買了不少戰利品可能會讓用餐座位有點擁擠),需要點餐的時候可以舉手示意。
Pros: 現場登記的工作人員有依照人數登記在板子上,提供給客人號碼條在店外等候候位。, 店員們會基礎英文對話, 營業時間較長,讓因為購物導致錯過正常用餐時間的客群也能用餐。
Cons: 餐點的材料份量偏少,至少要加點溫泉蛋,才有有點份量, 如果加點的選項有其他蔬菜,或是直接原本的餐點內有增加蔬菜份量會更好

Best Ramen in Kyoto - Edit
This was the best Ramen we had in Kyoto. The broth was so flavourfull, creamy and just delicious, I loved everything about it. They had a sign that they had to increase their prices but i thought that they were still cheap. You get a number and have to wait outside until they call your number, but we only waited for 10 minutes. Big recommendation, it was just great!

Delicious and accommodating - Edit
This restaurant is dedicated to serving traditional Japanese food to people with dietary restrictions - from vegetarians and vegans to celiacs and others. Each item is clearly labeled.
Read moreThere was a small line when we got there, but because the restaurant is big we were seated within 10min. We ended up sharing a table with other people, which was ok (it was a very spacious table).
As vegetarians we ordered the vegan zesty ramen. It is spicy, but you can order with less (I did so, and it was not spicy at all). We also ordered the vegan dumpling soup. Both the ramen and the soup were DELICIOUS, highly recommend getting both!
Pros: Vegan zesty ramen, Vegan dumpling soup

One of the best - Edit
This was one of the best bowls of ramen I've ever had! The broth was deliciously creamy with beautiful flavours. The restaurant is slightly bigger than a lot of ramen shops in Japan, giving it a nice friendly atmosphere. Easy to order in English and the service was great. I would have given 5 stars but HappyCow doesn't allow it for places that aren't exclusively vegan.

Probably the best ramen in Kyoto (and beyond!) - Edit
Tucked away in a hidden corner of Kyoto is possibly the BEST Ramen you will eat! Creamy, soupy, perfectly cooked noodles and the most amazing flavor! It has both vegan/veggie and meat options and both are exceptional. Will definitely come again! Highly highly recommend!
Read morePros: Vegan/veggie options, Exceptional flavor, Great service and ambience

Best ramen in the world - Edit
Went here two nights in a row for the zesty vegan ramen. Another must try is the mandarin juice!! The wait seems daunting but isn’t too bad if you go a bit earlier in the night. For sure worth staying in line for.

Best vegan ramen that I've tasted. - Edit
I would give this 5 star but happy cow doesn't allow me as they also serve meat options.
Read moreThere was about an hour wait (which you could go away and come back again) but this was honestly one of my favourite meals in Japan so far. It tasted so good and was definitely worth the wait.
Pros: Zesty Ramen for vegans tasted so good!, Service was amazing , Food came really quickly once we got in
Cons: The queue was nearly an hour

easily 5 stars - Edit
i wish i could have eaten at this place twice. if it opened earlier i would have definitely gone 2 other times 😂
Read morethere was a huge line before and after i left but it seemed like solo people were getting seated pretty fast. food came really fast too. they have 60 plus seats. really cool place and good vibes.
i got the vegan zesty ramen and soup dumplings. i asked them to make it more spicy and it was soooo good. they have chili gin on the table to try but i was not brave enough. it was pretty much perfect the way it was anyway. noodles were cooked perfectly and flavorful. broth was so creamy and the soup dumpling broth was also sooo good. reminiscent of miso soup with great depth of flavor. i liked the round dumplings best but both styles were great.
portion was also good. didn’t walk away hungry at all
best ramen i had in kyoto (but close second or a tie is at go macro)
highly recommended.

Amazing vegan ramen - Edit
Best ramen I've ever had – went for the zesty option which had just the right amount of extra spice. So good we went twice. (Other person not vegan so had chicken option which they found great too.)
