Delicious veg and okara based meat substitutes - Edit
Their obanzai was really good and the okara based dishes were very tasty and delicious, but I prefer the katsu one more than the burger one. The vegetables were so crunchy and delicious. And the green shot was not too strong. The service was also really good. The place can get crowded, but it was comfortable even though it’s located in one of the busiest areas of Kyoto. Their meals are pricey though. And I have to retract a star because of the strawberry; on their menu page, you expect to get one whole strawberry, but we only got half of a very small strawberry (please don’t do that. I felt cheated).

Skanu, įvairu, sveika, brangu - Edit
Pasisekė, mums atėjus, eilių dar nebuvo. Valgėm lunch set'us su trijų rūšių "mėsa", bet mažesnes porcijas, nepersivalgėm, buvo pats tas. Daug lėkštučių, estetiška, smagi įvairovė. Maistas nėra labai intensyvaus skonio, švelnus. Patiko. Kaina nelabai smagi, bet mes Vilniuje prie tokių kainų jau įpratinti.

Overvalued - Edit
The restaurant is located on the first floor and is very large.
Read moreThe selection is equally large in different sets and desserts.
I took the specialset because it looked good but in terms of taste and price it was not really good.
At the end, I had an ice cream dessert. It was cheeky, it tasted like crashed ice with a bad soy milk, the few cashews could have been spared.
Cons: Pricey af, Tasteless

Cost outweighs value 💸 - Edit
Modern Shop and Café with lots of high quality products, goods and food. Nice vegan cafe with a relaxed vibe.
Read more💰 But the price tag is a bit too far off for what you get.
🇮🇹🍨 Tiramisu Parfait (1500¥ | 9.8$)
Nice combo and the small piece tiramisu is a great add-on. The fruits were frozen and therefore not nice to eat. For what you get the price is too high imo.
Not worth nearly 10$ 💸

Fab Teishoku and Omurice - Edit
Mumokuteki Cafe is a magical spot catering for plant-based folks and offering a much-needed reprieve from the chaotic tourism Kyoto is experiencing.
Read moreThe cafe is located on the second floor of a shop and has such a cute vibe. Lots of natural lighting and warm ambiance to really make you feel at home.
All of the meals here are vegetarian-friendly with a few indicating that bonito is used. It looked like most items are vegan or can be made vegan, so be sure to check the menu to make sure before ordering.
I ordered one of the Katsu Teishoku (¥2500) which came with an abundance of healthy veggie sides, rice, soup, and soy meat katsu. The soy meat patty was a hit that was perfectly fried and coated with a wonderful katsu sauce.
My sister ordered their vegan omurice and fell in LOVE. She called it the best omurice she's had and her favorite meal during the trip, which says a lot considering she is not plant-based.
We ended the meal with an incredible soy latte dessert - not too sweet and very refreshing.
Loved the cafe overall. A bit on the pricier end but the quality of the food helps to justify the price point.
Pros: Excellent sets

Popular lunch place - Edit
We had a reservation for lunch, which is definitely recommended, it was full. Yummy lunch, I had the curry, the red one was spicy, the cream colored was a bit bland - mixing both makes it alright. The set meal with three types of vegan "meat" might have been the better choice. I had a maple latte as a dessert, tasted good.

Come Hungry! - Edit
Stumbled across Mumokuteki while browsing the store below and saw there was a vegan cafe upstairs. You need to get a ticket from the machine and wait for a little bit but they are very quick to get to you! There are lots of options - I got the meal set with okra, tofu burger, and cutlet which was so oishi! It was a very filling lunch and you can get a set with a drink and a soft serve which you absolutely should if you have the room! The staff were so lovely, the meal was so wholesome and tasty, I wish I had discovered it sooner!
