Delicious, quaint and quiet space with local ingredients. - Edit
Steps away from Nara Park, be sure to come here after a day of feeding deer! We got the Chinese noodle bowl (ramen) and the kuurage set and they were both delicious. Highly recommend

Cozy and delicious! - Edit
Everything was handmade and absolutely amazing. The place makes you feel like home. The owner is a lovely lady that runs everything by herself, so please be patient, it’s totally worth it!

Good food for nice prices - Edit
We had the Hamburger plate and the ramen. Both were tasty, i loved all the sidedishes on the plate.
Read moreThe owner is very friendly and even she worked alone, we didn't have to wait too long for our dishes.
Unfortunately it smelled a bit like cat pee on the inside, so i didn't want to sit there. But fortunately there are seats on the outside too.
Pros: Affordable , Great food
Cons: Inside smelled a bit like cat pee, Cash only!

So good I literally cried - Edit
Small cafe/restaurant incredibly exclusively managed solely by its owner, who is a lovely person who really likes cats (as you’d soon learn as you walk into her restaurant) all the menus are some of the best Japanese cuisine i’ve ever tried and some more “western” items as well. Everything is fresh and homemade and you can really tell with each bite. They take cash only but there are several places nearby with ATMs and money exchange 24h machines.

Pros: Plenty of delicious variety, Very reasonably priced, The owner rescues cats!

Calm and beautiful place - Edit
Small but beautiful place, all the food is prepared by one lady so the waiting time can be longer, but totally worth it. We ordered the karaage bento and ice-cream and both were excellent! Highly recommend coming here ❤️

Cute little vegan cafe - Edit
Run by a solo fan of cats. The food was good. I really enjoyed the bento lunch which included miso soup, tempura vegetables, brown rice, nuggets (seitan perhaps) and potatoes.
Read moreGreat to find an entirely vegan restaurant in the area and I’m very pleased to have visited. There was a wide selection of soft drinks and it was nice to see they weren’t from your typical brands.
Reasonably priced. 3400¥ for two of us. We had two main meals, a side and two drinks.
Pros: Wide menu options , Nice tasting food
Cons: The toilet is the least accessible I’ve ever encou, It was unclear whether you are supposed to seat yo

What a gem! - Edit
This was the sweetest little place! It is just a one woman show, so there was a bit of a wait but we didn’t mind - you could see how hard she was working and the care she put into every order.
Read moreI had the falafel bowl and it was super tasty and the falafel weren’t dry like they sometimes can be. My sister had the karage bento and she adored it!
Side note, I loved all the cat decorations, also the selection of vegan goodies you could buy to take home.

Sweet one-woman home cooking - Edit
We loved it here. It's close to the park (certainly closer than I thought a vegan place would be) and is run by one sweet lady. We arrived just before opening and had a chance to cool down in the heat and we ordered a couple of Benton boxes. There was a bit of a wait as she makes each one by herself but we didn't mind getting out of the heat. Delicious food, generous portion. It is like going to your Grandma's for lunch. It did get full quite quickly as it is a small place so you may have to wait.

Patience pays off - Edit
This is a wonderful, tiny restaurant that seems to be a one woman show. Your food is made with care, and it takes some time, but it was worth the minor wait. The karage bento was supreme!!!! And the tempura 🤤
Read moreThere were pamphlets inside the restaurant relating to animal rights issues in Japan, and a donation box for cat rescue - both of these things indicate to me that this is a "real" vegan restaurant, not just a place that is catering to the culinary demands of tourists.

Such a cute wee cafe, decorated with so many cats! Run by one older lady who is so sweet. It felt like being at Nana's for lunch. It's just her, so if you're in a rush probably not the right place. It was worth the wait though😄
