Most boring vegan ramen we had in Japan

We tried a dozen of vegan ramen in Japan and this was the most boring (and most expensive). Gyoza were nice, but creme brulee also extremely mediocre. Also staff brought the Appetizers and drinks after the main dishes.

Overpriced, average ramen

I can honestly say I’m not sure what all the fuss is about with this place, as the ramen just didn’t have much flavour at all. All in all cost 4,200 yen for a beer, ramen and side which was too much in my opinion.

Definitely recommend the soy croquettes which were delicious.

Cons: Price

Best ramen I've ever had

This place exceeded all my expectations. I usually don't like ordering ramen because it's usually too salty and rich for my preferences, but their soy milk has made me love their take on ramen.

The broth was full of flavor without being sickly heavy. Getting to eat the ramen with so many topping combos was also fantastic, I love the gyoza and purple potato chips in mine. I love that they have creme brulee for dessert as well as it's one of my favorite desserts growing up and I get to eat it vegan!

Next time I'm back in Japan, I'm coming back here immediately!

Definitely a must-go in Kyoto. Ordered the tantan ramen with seared brown rice and soy cheese for the leftover soup and it was phenomenal. I only wish I had room for seconds!

Delicious and creamy Ramen

I went there at around 7:30 pm at an Friday and got a seat right away. Got the "Hana" Ramen which is topped with a lot of veggies.
The broth is creamy but not heavy, the noodles are slippery and soft (in a good way) and the whole thing was just really delicious.
It is not the cheapest Ramen you can get, but the quality and the size are really good so I can't complain.
There are a vew spices and sesame seeds on the table free to use.
I also got their Korokke whick was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Also very nice addition.
The staff were also really nice and the atmosphere in the restaurant was very positive and relaxed.
All in all it was a very good meal and am definitely going to go there again!

The dessert box called Kyoto Shojin Petit Four containes 15 miniature sweets. They are all of different textures and materials and are absolutely delicious and beautiful. It isn't cheap at 4500¥ but definitely worth it!

Tasty ramen

Stumbled on this restaurant by mistake as it was opposite our hotel. Vegan and gluten free ramen restaurant with broth made from soy milk. The ramen has quite a unique taste but is tasty and full of veg. There is also a vending machine outside with vegan and gluten free desserts

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Friendly staff , Cute restaurant

Cons: Might have to queue to get in, Quite expensive

Possibly best ramen in the world?

At least mine was. So flavourful. Considering a trip back to Japan just to have another bowl. Good cocktails too. OISHI OISHI

Good ramen & AMAZING Gyozas

The ramen it’s good, nothing special but solid. The gyozas are one of the best ones that we’ve tried.

Good ambience and staff.

Pros: Amazing Gyozas, Good ramen

Pretty good

The ramen is good, but they focus on "health" so don't expect a "fat" or "spicy" ramen. I would have really enjoyed some kind of chili oil directly on top of the ramen to give more depth to the flavour of the dish.
We found it quite expensive too.

Stunning

We dropped in to check it out yesterday and made a bee line to it today. There was a need to double check just how good it was :). Stunning noodles. Flavour packed broth, grilled mochi, tofu slice, and fresh shoots and pickle. I also tried the soy noodles and they were perfect. The chilli oil is also a good addition, not too hot, but beautiful flavour. #Veganuary

Pros: Serving size. , Broth was to die for. , Noodles were perfect.

Satisfied the ramen craving

Nothing mind-blowing but reasonably priced and good portions. The broth was pretty bland but it was nice to be able to spice it how you liked at the table. #Veganuary

The best ramen in the world

I came here because I saw this place voted as one of the top ramen dishes in the world on Happy Cow. It did not disappoint. I came here twice. The first time I got the Hana ramen because I was worried about the spice. The next time I got the dandan and it was unreal. It actually wasn’t that spicy. I added some additional spices to it and I wouldn’t say that I have a high spice tolerance. They also have cakes in a can from the vending machine!! It’s a great place for solo diners as well.

Is that cherry blossom matcha the “broth” for the ramen?

The cherry blossom match is a crem brulee dessert! The broth is soy milk

Sooo yummy!!!

Loved everything here! To start we had the Soy pulp creamy croquettes which tasted like buttery mashed potatoes. It wasn’t heavily fried and had a nice, thin but crispy coating. Next, we had the steamed gyoza stuffed with citrusy veggies and cabbage. The dipping sauce was also soy-citrus flavored. If no one was around, I would have slurped it up! Next, we had the steamed soy meat dumplings (we were hungry). These were also delicious and came with the same yummy dipping sauce. Finally, we both had the soy milk dandan noodle ramen. My word, this was the most flavorful ramen with lots and lots of veggie toppings, gyoza, tofu, etc. For those who are afraid of heat, it was not too spicy and wished I had asked for extra chili oil (I like a little heat) Overall, everything was so dang good!!! My non-vegan husband loved it. Service was great. Would highly recommend!!! 😋 #Veganuary

Pros: Cute atmosphere, Didn’t have to wait long for food to come out, Great service

A Truly Amazing Restaurant

They made one of the best—and most filling—meals I’ve ever had! I had some dumplings, a creamy ramen dish, a rice and vegan cheese dish, and a crème brûlée (all vegan!!), and I was quite impressed by the depth of flavor in all the food, but especially the ramen. The rice and vegan cheese dish had a really unique smoky flavor to it also. This is easily one of my favorite restaurants in all of Japan—if you are vegan and/or unable to eat gluten, or even if neither of those apply to you, you should totally check this restaurant out!!

Pros: Amazing and rich food, Very kind and passionate staff, Great vibe

Worth the wait - very good ramen

You will likely need to wait outside and put your name on a list, but once in you'll see why this is a magnet for vegan ramen fans. Very filling and flavourful. #Veganuary

Pros: Great flavour, Good service

A new favourite of mine

Absolutely adored the food here. The ramen was flavourful, creamy and tasty. We had the croquettes as a side which complimented the meal nicely. On the table, there is a box with sansho, shichimi, cumin, curry powder and sesame seeds for you to adjust the flavour to your own wishes. The inside decorations are lovely and the staff are extremely friendly. Will be coming back when next in Kyoto.

Vegan-y and creamy goodness!

We came along just before 5pm on a Friday and walked straight in! I appreciated the smaller menu because it narrowed down the options for me. I've never really had ramen before because it's so difficult to find veggie friendly ones - but my partner, who eats meat, loved it...and so did I! The hit of vegetables was very welcome 🙏

Pros: Mobile ordering from your seat, Delicious options of sides, Good selection of soft drinks and alcohol

Cons: Card machine was broken so we had to find an ATM!

Not to our taste

There was a long queue, and the food was very expensive and not really that delicious. I don’t find milk broth ramen that flavourful. Might be personal opinion.

Overall Good

They have a wide selection of vegan items. The ramen was ok. I prefer more flavor, spicer, and hotter temperature. There are powdered spices on the table that help it marginally.

Their desert option help to bump up the review from fair to very good.

Not worth it

In my opinion, the ramen was really lacking flavors. Even by adding some of the spices available on the table it wasn't great. The prices are really expensive, and as the restaurant is small we had to wait more than half an hour to get in.
