Great spot with fantastic ramen!

The perfect place to rest and enjoy some delicious ramen after visiting the deer & Great Buddha. Clean, lovely people, and multiple ramen options (including gluten free). We recommend sitting at the bar by the window so you can watch the deer outside

El mejor ramen que he comido hasta ahora

Tiene al rededor de 4 variedades de ramen vegano, el ambiente es amigable y bastante cómodo.
Por mucho la mejor opción que he visitado en lo que llevo viajando por Japón

Lecker

Sogar eine kleine Auswahl für Veganer, auch mein Freund (nicht Veganer) hat was gefunden. War für uns beide ein richtig wohlfühl essen

The vegan tonkotsu ramen was probably my favorite out of all the ones I’ve had so far here in Japan —
Super flavorful and plentiful toppings

It’s a convenient location, as it’s located near Nara Park

Nice Ramen

Pay 2000 yen for a vegan ramen, then add 200 yen for an egg. Not that cheap for a
bowl of ramen in Japan but since it’s located nearby the sightseeing places and the taste is good enough, I would say it’s ok to give a try.

El mejor ramen

Pedí el ramen tonkatsu y sencillamente me pareció espectacular. Diferente a otros ramen que he probado hasta la fecha. El caldo es sabroso pero sin ese sabor intenso a salsa de soja.
Viene lleno de toppings. El lugar es bonito y con decoración cuidada. El staff es muy atento. Volvería sin duda.

Great Ramen

We came here for lunch, when it wasn't really busy. Food came out fast, and the staff was friendly😄Not fully vegan, but more vegan Ramen options than non-vegan. Beith, noodles, and toppings were really good and fresh.

Best Ramen I’ve had!

A lot of places only have miso plant based options but this place has 4 different options! I got the tonkotsu and it is easily the best ramen that I have had! I wish I could come back but we’re only here for the day.
You can also see the deer at Nara Park from the windows.

Pros: Flavour, Options, Easy to find

Good solid option

The ramen was high quality and the menu was very clear in listing ingredients. Wasn't my favourite ramen but if you are visiting Nara this is a great option close to the station. Lovely setting and friendly staff

Tasty vegan ramen options

I'd been to the branch in Osaka before and was keen on trying the tomato broths but they weren't on the menu at the moment.

I got the tonkotsu and my partner got the syoyu tonkotsu and we enjoyed them. The broths were full of flavour and they were nicely topped. The tofu was excellent and the nori packed more flavour than I've ever had from seaweed before.

Vegan friendly but not flavorful

This was my least favorite of the vegan ramen that I’ve had while I’ve been in Japan. I ordered A, the miso ramen. It will work in a pinch. Also a bit pricey.

Good ramen

There were 4 vegan options I think. I had the vegan miso ramen. It was good. I liked that there were quite a few vegetables in the dish. Besides, the tofu was quite good! The price is a bit higher as this restaurant is close to Nara Park.
