So good! - Edit

The food was absolutely delicious! The woman working there was very kind and helpful. An english menu was provided with all the ingredients listed for every item! The location was right next to the station which was perfect for us and it was a nice & relaxing space.

Pros: Amazing food, all ingredients listed

Lovely vegan food - Edit

This restaurant is wonderful. We were very happy to find it. The owner is super kind and friendly. They have a curry plate, and gyoza, and when we were there a bunch of menu items involving little veg sausages, which actually turned out to be quite good. They use a lot of apples (or they did when we were there in late fall), and we got to try some shotglasses of fresh apple cider, and the gyoza had apple in it. So tasty. We also got some little slices of cake and only ate them later, SO GOOD! Would definitely visit here again.

Delicious food in great location - Edit

The food here is delicious. Very recommendable. They have English menu and WiFi and also plugs so one can recharge the cell phones, which is super useful considering one is in Kyoto and taking pictures of everything. The place is simple but calm, it's near the train station and the bamboo groove. The service was great, they are super nice and patient. Loved it and would go back

Pros: Vegan and vegetarian options

Cons: Little kids (less than 7) aren't allowed since the

May need to update their hours - Edit

Unfortunately when we arrived today they were closed!
Both Happy Cow and Google stated 9am, and their own website seemed to say 11-5 only closed Wednesday as their May calendar.
But when we got there, there was a sign on the door that seemed to say closed mondays!
Very disappointing, we were so excited to try it out!

Lovely! - Edit

A cosy and lovely place. The food was really good and the owner was so nice. It's located really close to Saga-Arashiyama station, so you can't miss it!

Pros: Good food, nice service, close to station. Moderat

lovely service and food - Edit

This is a great option if you're exploring the Arashiyama area. I stopped in on my way to the bamboo grove for ramen and gyoza. The ramen was delicious but the gyoza were incredible – I'd highly recommend them.

The lady who served me was very sweet. They give you delicious pearl barley tea (and will keep topping you up). I noticed you could buy a pack of this and I kind of regret not doing that, it was really nice.

Stevie 31 May 2016 - Hi Thaksa,

Was the restaurant closed at a time they advertised they were open?

Great service and food, convenient location - Edit

I randomly came upon this restaurant walking around Arashiyama. They have excellent food and a wide variety of items that cannot be made vegan in other restaurants (ramen, curry, gyoza, karaage, etc)
They also have a small library of vegan and health books to peruse.

Pros: Close to the station, So many items I couldn't pick, Great service

Cons: The pizza is not vegan, It was really busy and tables filled up quickly

Fabulous - Edit

Fabulous food: ranem, gioza, sushi - absolutely number one! The staff speaks English fluently. Easy access - just of front of station Saga-Arashiyama.

Pros: acceptable cost (2000 JPY), lovely view into the mountains, friendly staff
