Nice Ramen, Burger meh

The Ramen was delicious and good portion.
The burge was a bit disappointing, because it was small and only salad and patty, no other veggies. (Had a mayonnaise inside though) There was no fries only a hand full of potato chips? (looked and tasted like just bought ones)

Small but worthy

I had the vegan "egg" sandwich with a cold matcha late with soy milk. The was free cold and hot tea available. It was simple and tasty.

Great lunch spot!

Came here after watching a Kabuki performance and ordered their homemade ginger ale and soy meat bowl. It really hit the spot. The menu shows a picture of a bowl with fresh lettuce, but we got just a scoop of sautéed veggies. Wished we got the lettuce to make little wraps out of but overall still a very tasty and not heavy meal.

Great ramen, soy burger and soy meat

We stumbled upon this cafe/restaurant by accident. But it was a great accident :)
The staff was very kind and attentive. The seating was peaceful and restfull after the bustle on the streets.
We had ramen, which was delicious and quite filling. Our kids enjoyed burger and teriyaki soy meat with rice. Over all great experience.
Payment by card only. (Which really suites us).

Pros: Vegan ramen, Soy burger, Teriyaki soy meat with rice

Vegan Shoujin cafe in the heart of Kyoto

It is a quiet cafe inside an hotel in the busy area of Gion.
The service is good and quick, food is really tasty and I found the portions bigger than other vegan meals in Japan. I also really appreciate the choice of making everything in the menu oriental vegan(no five pungente like onion and garlic).

Definitely a place I would like to visit again!

Pros: Oriental vegan, Lot of space, calm atmosphere

Sunlit nook in hotel lobby

High-quality, tasty ingredients at this vegan cafe. We enjoyed the curry which is full of nutritious ingredients. It is conveniently located near a number of shrines and temples. Staff is also lovely. They also have Wi-Fi, are English-speaking, and accept credit card payments!

Not 100% satisfied

We only tried savory food, so maybe the sweets are amazing, but for us, it was not worth the price :,( I wish they had served normal fried potatoes rather than potato chips with the hamburger, which was also very simple and a little dry. The ramen was not bad but again, very simple, and the quantity not enough 😥 The staff of the hotel reception was very friendly 😄 (the café is located in a hotel).

Pros: The ramen broth was tasty

Good ramen

Nice cosy cafe offering veggie ramen, burger and curry. The food was good and you can help yourself to teas as well which is nice.

Blink and you'll miss this lovely little place (we did) attached to a contemporary looking hotel. Modern and light inside, welcome air conditioning and we were served by a really nice lady. Food was great, particularly the ramen! Beer was nice and frosty too!

Decent

Very calm when I visited, nice to escape the crowds in Kyoto. However, I was not too impressed by the burger I ordered. It was very salty and the consistency was kind of mushy.

Amazing veggie ramen

We ordered vegan ramen. The place is quiet and nice. The food was amazing - a traditionally generous bowl with delicious soy meat and flavorful kelp broth.

Obsessed with the “egg” sandwich!

They have a Japanese “egg” sandwich on the menu that was amazingggggg. Must have been tofu based but I’m not sure! The soy burger was great too. Very pretty restaurant in a nice hotel.
