Amazing! - Edit
Not only is the food delicious at Tu Casa, but Mini & Taka have created a warm, welcoming and lovely environment in their cozy space. Everything we have eaten here has been delicious! The kimbap, lemon cake, chocolate hazelnut tart and lemon ginger drink are especially amazing!!! It’s a must-visit cafe!

Loved it! - Edit
Cozy restaurant with few seats. I've been here multiple times, and everything I ordered was delicious! It's good to have vegan Korean options. The owners are also lovely.

So cozy and yummy!💚 - Edit
What a lovely place and owners!
Read moreLoved the interior with so many plants. 🌱
The BBQ bowl was very delicious!
And I found my favourite chai latte in Kyoto here! Made only with spices and not too sweet! And the hazelnut tart reminded me of a favourite childhood treat from Germany, toffifee! 🧡
They offer bulk shopping and many other eco-friendly products.

Como en casa - Edit
El lugar es precioso, la pareja que lo regenta es adorable y súper eficiente, en un pequeño espacio, pero decorado con mucho gusto, sirven con mucho cariño una comida deliciosa y sostenible, evitando generar residuos y con un compromiso con el medio ambiente que observas desde que entras por la puerta. Imposible imaginar un lugar mejor! ❤️✨

A special place - Edit
I loved this place. The food is really good, and given that you have the possibility to choose the size of the plate, it's possible -and recommended!- to order an extra to try more of the menù. The cakes are really wonderful, too.
Read moreApart from the deliciousness of the food, we really enjoyed the cozy atmosphere and the kindness of the two owners, Taka and Mini!
Pros: Delicious food, Lovely owners , In front of the metro exit

Wonderful - Edit
Food was beautifully presented, super fresh and flavours were good too. The venue itself is quite small, seating only about 8-10 people, and opening hours are quite interesting.

Awesome vegan restaurant - Edit
A very cozy small restaurant with friendly staff and delicious food. I ordered the BBQ bowl which costed 1380¥. I would definitely recommend visiting this place!
Read moreAs some people already mentioned, the place is quite popular yet very small. A small queue will form outside the restaurant and it takes a little while for them to prepare food for everyone. I arrived shortly after the opening time and got a seat without queueing, but a small line of people had formed on the entrance by the time I left. So not the best place if you're dying of hunger on the spot.😄
Pros: Friendly staff, Cozy restaurant, Cheap
Cons: Popular with possibly long waiting times

Great small place - Edit
Great food, with it being smaller the menu matched. However, the dishes looked great and the bbq bowl of mock meat and rice I had was delicious. I also had a made in house fermented fruit soda drink, was great, and finished off with a soya chai. Staff were very friendly would definitely come back.

Super cute and delicious - Edit
Worth to go! (Best not at rush hour)We had a delicious pumpkin soup and the BBQ rice bowl had such amazing flavor!
Read moreGreat to go for a walk at the river afterwards towards Gion.
Also after all the plastic from the seven elevens and quick meals on the go it’s so refreshing that there are places that have at heart to try to go a better route❤️ Loved to be there and I hope there will be more places like that!
Pros: Delicious, Friendly , Happy to support

Unique, thoughtful slow food - Edit
Only two people are here running the business, and they have a sign at the front asking for patience and understanding. If you need fast food, this isn’t the place. Instead, come here when you have time to unwind and have a nice conversation or something to read.
Read moreOur food and drinks were wonderful and obviously crafted with care and love. There’s attention to detail in every nook and cranny in the space, and it certainly makes an impression. For those who dream of a future with less waste, where a couple can still have a dream and make it work, this is one restaurant you really shouldn’t miss.
Pros: Wholesome food, Adorable space, Great mission

Absolutely stunning food! - Edit
Finding an all vegan korean inspired restaurant in the heart of Kyoto made all my dreams come true! We stopped here on our way back from walking around Kiyomizu-dera and Gion District. We managed to get a seat right away as we were just before the usual dinner rush. I was blown away by the kbbq rice bowl. Will be back when I come back to Kyoto!

Gorgeous food - Edit
A lovely little place - hardly any seating so need to wait but it’s no problem. Food was amazing and they also had vegan snack bars and ready made curries which we bought so that we would have some good microwaveable vegan meals to take with us to the rural places in Japan where there aren’t many vegan options!

A must try when in Kyoto - Edit
As there was a long queue to get in in the evening, we decided to go another day, this time straight at the opening time, and we were lucky - it was much calmer and we could find a spot without any problem. We tried most of the menu and I can honestly say that the hype is justified, it was really that good, cakes included. We ended up buying some vegan jerky's from their shop, too. If you have your heart set to visit, definitely pick the opening time!
Read morePros: Great food, Lovely staff, Good prices
Cons: Reservation needed - or go very early

So delicious! - Edit
First time experiencing vegan Korean food in a restaurant, it was so delicious! My sister is not vegan, and she really enjoyed it too! Owners were so nice! They have a zero waste market inside. I think there needs to be more of this around the world!
