It was okay - Edit
I went here because it was the only vegan place open. Was okay, quite expensive compared to some other places

Lovely- a must visit - Edit
I went this evening and it was so refreshing to meet so many like-minded, friendly vegans. The food was delicious, I really enjoyed the ramen, chocolate crème brûlée and rose plum wine. The absolute winner though is the cake vending machine 😍 while there was a bit of a queue it moved quickly (I waited no more than 25 minutes and got to speak to some lovely people during that time)

Good but not great - Edit
The soy milk ramen is good but there is definitely better. The dumplings are ok.
Read moreThe shop is really small and you probably will have to wait a while to get seated.
But not that many other options in Gion!

Tasty 🍜 - Edit
The location of the venue and limited seating mean long queues and wait time. We waited for at least an hour and I was pretty hungry by the time we got to our table.
Read moreMy hunger might have sharpened my appetite, as I’m not usually a fan of ramen, yet I found it quite enjoyable here. The matcha ice cream was also very tasty.

Convenient location for all vegan food in Gion - Edit
I'm generally not a fan of soy milk ramen, but this place was a pretty good option in Gion, especially since there aren't a lot of options in the area for dinner around 6-8pm. We didn't have to wait too long to be seated and the food came out in a reasonable time. The spicy oil sauce didn't add a whole lot of flavor for ¥300, and the shumai dumplings were just OK.
Read moreWe enjoyed the noodles and soy milk broth, as well as the various toppings. The Sichuan pickles were good too! We had the Yuzu creme brulee for dessert and it was a nice finish to our hearty meal.
Would recommend Towzen for a more flavorful vegan soymilk ramen, but that restaurant is in a slightly more inconvenient location in Kyoto.
Pros: Good location, All vegan options
Cons: Bit pricey for what you get, "Spicy" chili oil is rather mild

One of the best vegan ramens in Kyoto - Edit
I absolutely love this place. Their soy milk ramen is one of the best vegan ramens I have ever hade. That is why I ate here 4 times during my stay in Kyoto. It tends to get really busy, especially during dinner time, so be ready to queue. It's definitely worth the wait, though.

Very tasty but pricy - Edit
The place gets crowded really easily so expect to be waiting. But at least they have some chairs & benches to wait on. The food was great and they had many good looking options. I had the ramen and my partner had two side dishes. The ramen is a really big portion size. But still the meal was quite expensive. I would still recommend going.
Read moreIf you fill out a survey you get a pudding for free.
And outside of the restaurant is a vending machine where you can get the desserts from the restaurant.
Pros: Good Ramen, Dessert vending machine
Cons: Expensive

Very tasty ramen - Edit
The creamy soy milk ramen were very good! I love that they come with steamed gyoza inside!
Read moreI also really liked the modern Japanese interior. The classic music didn't really fit this tho ...😅
The Ice-cream came in a cute little hedgehog and was sooo good!
The vending machine with vegan in-house sweets in front of the shop is very unique.

Molto buono - Edit
Locale che serve ramen vegani con latte di soia (ma anche altri piatti), molto buono e particolare direi, non avevo mai mangiato nulla del genere. Mi è piaciuto molto anche come “presentano” il piatto. Oltre al ramen avevo ordinato anche il gelato al matcha, presentato in una scodellina a forma di riccio, davvero carino.

Great ramen, beautifully presented - Edit
Great ramen and beautiful presentation.
Read moreEnjoyed the dumplings and the rice with cheese.
We went there twice once for lunch and once for dinner, as we loved the ramen.
I ate here end of March - early April 2024 when I visited Japan 🇯🇵 so I’m sorry I cannot find the photos to post, as the food was well presented.
At lunch time they opened half an hour later than displayed on the site at that time, but we were second in line, so got in quick.
At dinner time we waited for 1 hour and barely made it in before they announced that they are no longer allowing people in.
Pros: Great ramen and dumplings, Beautifully presented ramen
Cons: Slightly expensive , Can get pretty busy with 1 hour waiting time , Small place

Fabulous - Edit
The ramen here is delicious! The best I’ve had in Japan.
Read moreWe tried some of the sides and the dumplings were great but we’d recommend giving the brown rice with cheese a miss as the flavours were quite sickly. The creamy croquettes were also nice but nothing special.
Red and white wines were pretty good too!
Pros: Friendly staff
Cons: Not many seats so there was queuing outside

Great ramen but a long wait - Edit
Ramen was really good - would recommend the Hana, cheapest and comes with loads of great ingredients. Cheesy rice was ok, and the queue was probably excessive, but the food was good so can’t complain

Great vegan ramen - Edit
Great spot for lunch just outside the busy part of Gion District. Be sure to try their cold soy milk ramen, especially on a hot day. I ordered the large option for the noodles and this means that you will get a really big portion. They also have a vending machine right outside their restaurant full of vegan desserts.
Read morePros: Completely vegan , Big portions

Delicious Soy Milk Ramen - Edit
Delicious Soy Milk Ramen short walk away from Gion Shijo Station. If you’ve been wanting to try vegan ramen this sure is a place to go to! There’s also different spices for you to try out and spice up your meal.

Great place, delicious food, be prepared to wait ! - Edit
Amazing vegan ramen and appetisers (we shared the soy croquettes), full of amazing flavours and not as greasy as all vegan gluten free food we usually find, we were really glad to eat there. However with the non-reservation system be prepared to wait for over an hour ! (We did not regret but it was long and the waiting area is crazy hot)
Read morePros: Amazing Food, All vegan and gluten free, Stylish place, nice people
Cons: 45min to >1hour wait

Hot Ramen: yay – cold ramen: nay! - Edit
We got the soy milk ramen “Hana” which was tasty.
Read moreAlso got the summer special with cold ramen. I imagined something like a Glass noodle salad. And as we wondered, why the cold noodles take longer than the hot noodles: the summer ramen was literally ramen noodles with ice cubes. Some ingredients were still half frozen as well (avocado, pineapple). Not at all what I expected. Wouldn’t recommend it.
If you fill out an allergy survey you get a free little pudding, which is a nice gimmick.
They also got the vending machine with mainly frozen pastries outside the store.
All in all, I probably wouldn’t come back. There are other places we have to try first.😄
Cons: Summer ramen

Raffiné et délicieux 🤝 - Edit
Bien que les prix soient supérieurs à la moyenne (japonaise), je ne regrette absolument pas le détour.
Read moreEn effet, leurs ramen sont bien différents des autres que j'ai goûté, l'originalité des saveurs servies valent le prix qui leur est associé. Si vous passez dans le coin ce n'est à absolument pas louper !
