Amazing experience!! - Edit
Wow, this place has a concept I've never seen before. And the flavors are so incredibly rich, loaded with umami. You should not miss to see this place while being in Kyoto! They have 4 kinds of Ramen, and as a starter they have pressed Sushi and baked Miso. The dessert ist amazing as well. We just had to try everything there 😄

Combination of Food & Art - Edit
Vegan Ramen Uzu Kyoto is located on a relatively quiet place that is a little bit far from the center of the city.
Read moreWhen you enter into the restaurant, you will see another world. Japanese-style artwork in the dark space came into my eyes and I was just overwhelmed.
“Vegan ramen kokiake” is a soy sauce ramen with tomato boldly floating on the soup.
I was wondering how such a complicated taste of soup is possible without using animal ingredients.
Even non-vegan will I think feel satisfied with its richness of taste.
The drink menu is also interesting as items are mostly what you cannot see at other restaurants, like original fermented juice.
Not just eating but enjoying ramen and art with 5 senses are the experience you can get here.
It became one of the best restaurants to recommend to my friends.

Fun experience - Edit
A fun vegan experience! The food was good (we had the spicy ramen) and staff were polite and accommodating. Currently (December 2021) there is no gyoza on the menu which is a shame. Only cons are it’s a little expensive and the digital art did appear to break whilst we were eating!

Very tasty ramen in a artistic setting - Edit
I had the spicy miso ramen and really liked the taste! Gyoza was great, too, especially with the spicy sauce. The art and mirrors, combined with interesting background music, makes for a great overall experience. I very much enjoyed it all!

Futuristic - Edit
Futuristic look but don't expect Startreck messhall with the Neelix cooking. Staff was polite and speak English. Menu is English and Japanese. Food was tasty. Menu was Japanese style mainly: Ramen, Gyoza, Sushi, etc. all vegan. Not so many options but more or less enough. Prices more or less moderate. But very slow service. 50min waiting in a dark narrow corridor to be seated. The chocke point seems to be the kitchen. Nor very optimal arrangement. Hence stripping one star. Unlikely to repeat. Advice - go about 8:30-8:40pm. The queue is almost gone but you may hit the LO call at 9pm.
Read morePros: Quite popular among youngsters. Work until 10pm.
Cons: Very slow service.

Great Unique Dining Experience - Edit
I'm surprised by some of the other reviews here; the staff were extremely friendly, in both Japanese and English, and yes, the experience is different than "wooden table" ramen, but it is interesting and different. I recommend this place if you want a dining experience—a nice spot for a date. The tsukemen was very nice, and after we finished the noodles, we were given broth to mix and drink with the remaining tsukemen. It is a more high end restaurant, and a futuristic feel, so if you want something more traditional you should look elsewhere, but if you want a fun, novel experience with good ramen, this is a great choice.

Great experience but stiff and unfriendly - Edit
I definitely recommend checking out this restaurant. We ordered the dumplings, sushi, and ramen, and were more than satisfied with the taste. It was delicious!
Read moreThe environment is the main reason to go to this restaurant - the lighting and dining experience is truly unique and I'll remember it forever. It's as though being in an art exhibition while dining. Although one may tire of this after the hours pass. I do wonder how the staff cope with such a sensory overload for some number of hours.
My one, yet notable complaint comes down to my experience at the end of dining. Due to much food and a beer, yet especially to the bowl of hot oily ramen, my partner and I were parched and groggy. I asked for the cheque and a glass of water. I was told firmly that water was to be purchased (at a ghastly price of 400 yen per bottle), and that due to the time being past the last order, I would not be getting any water.
No water at a ramen bar? This unfriendly service was enough to wake me from the spell I was under, enchanted by the graphics and mirrors of the restaurant. I paid the bill and thanked the staff, to no reply. I left into the dark rainy streets of Kyoto and walked in search of a vending machine to buy a bottle of water. The cold clunk it sounded, and the water it gave me being more satisfying in the end than the thousands of yen I spent at this one.
Pros: Dynamic and enchanting dining experience, Delicious food
Cons: Limited drink menu, Over time, an over-stimulating environment

Best Vegan Ramen I ever had - Edit
Their vegan Ramen and Gyoza were the best I ever had! Service and the especially thröe atmosphere were amazing. The inside is so beautiful and relaxing. The only think I dislike is the price. Even though the ramen already costs 1200 yen we had to order drinks which coat at least 600 yen extra. Besides that I really recommend this place!
Read morePros: all vegan, amazing atmosphere, good service
Cons: you have to buy drinks

Many many better Ramen place in Kyoto, maybe with some old wooden tables, but with soul and passion - Edit
One Japanese friend asked me to go eat with i'm to this new Vegan Ramen in Kyoto, because, i told me, there is a beautiful digital artwork from some famous artist. I went. I actually don't like business that are not coherent. What's the connection to make vegan food and at the same time wasting electricity to create a kind of star wars atmosphere? Vegan is not just about food... How was the Ramen? Standard....
