Delicious ramen - Edit
Two types of vegetarian ramen to choose from, which you can have hot or cold. I had the green curry ramen and it was delicious! You order from a screen right as you enter and the menu is available in English. The staff was very friendly, too. The place is small and you can either sit on a table for two or along the counter, so it's probably not suitable for bigger groups.

Didn't Enjoy the Soymilk Ramen - Edit
Some very odd choices of ingredients. Big pieces of lemon peel in my ramen which is not a pleasant flavour. The soymeat was half cold which was quite off-putting.
Read moreAlso, the smell was not great - very much like boiled chicken.
That said my girlfriend said she would rate 4 stars and loved her green curry ramen.
Cons: Smell, Taste, Atmosphere

Delicious vegan ramen - Edit
We had to wait shortly as the place is very popular. The vegan options were unique and so delicious! We tried the beet ramen. The food arrived quickly and it was one of the best ramen I had in Japan! The cooks had a good time and the vibe was really fun😄

Restaurant with great vegan and vegetarian options. It was hands down the best food I had since I left the plane in Japan.

Delicious Vegan Green Curry - Edit
Being vegetarian in Japan is sometimes difficult if you can't read Japanese. Bassanova is an excellent choice if you're in Kyoto. Friendly staff, menu also in English and some excellent vegan choices such as the vegan green curry, just with the right level of spicyness.

Pink!! - Edit
Perfectly passable ramen! Great if you're stumbling around with a buddy, but nothing to write home about other than the color!

Pink Ramen - Edit
The vegan pink ramen looks and tastes really good. You can't taste the beet if you have a problem with that taste.
Read moreIt tastes more like you 'normal' soy milk ramen with a slight spice.
Quick and friendly service but be prepared to wait for quite some time. I arrived at on an Sunday evening at 7:55 pm and was seated at 8:25. But you can order before being seated so I got my ramen shortly after taking a seat.
Pros: Colour, Taste, Portion size

Incredible Vegan Ramen - Edit
After struggling to find vegetarian food throughout our time in Tokyo then coming across this place in Kyoto was just incredible. We liked it so much we ate here two nights in a row with different choices from the menu and nothing disappointed. My partner had meat options which he was very happy with and I had the Thai Green Vegan Ramen and Soy Milk Vegan Ramen. I would eat here again and for such a reasonable price. Friendly staff with few tables for intimate vibe.

Cons: Only 3 vegan options at the time I went, Not loads of tables so might be full

Ramen roses - Edit
On trouve six sortes de ramen différents (trois étaient épuisés le jour de notre arrivée malheureusement), des gyozas et de la glace vegan… bref on avait le choix ! J’ai mangé de délicieux ramen roses. Une expérience à ne pas rater ! L’ambiance du restaurant : assez jeune avec peu de monde et du bon rap US dans nos oreilles

Awesome - Edit
Cheaper and not as crowded as other restaurants with vegan options in this area. We came for dinner and didn't need to wait. Besides vegan Ramen, we had vegan Gyoza and vegan ice cream. You can choose English at the order machine and the staff is helpful, too. I'll definitely come again.
Read morePros: Delicious, not crowded
Cons: Soy meat was a bit mushy and slimy

Ramen in Kyoto - Edit
Loved it here, it’s in Nikishi Market and down a little corridor.
Read moreFor me, hands down my best ramen experience in 2 weeks in Japan.
Some dishes are totally vegan, but I’m veggie, so added an egg and extra coriander. I opted for the green curry and it was delicious!
Great little place, nice staff and the most delicious ramen. The vegan noodles were so good.

Superb food friendly staff - Edit
I was a little skeptical going in—you have to wind your way back through a hallway to get to this restaurant and then you order on an electronic kiosk. HOWEVER, I was unprepared for what followed! The staff was very friendly and brought your food to your table (including appetizers, drinks, and desserts) at the appropriate time, so not like counter service I expected when I saw the kiosk. And the presentation looked really nice. The vegan curry rice was the best meal I’ve had so far in Kyoto. The gyoza was good too. And the vegan ice cream (soy based) was so fabulous! Once again wasn’t expecting super awesome ice cream but they knocked it out of the ballpark. Perfect finish to the meal!

Pink Vegan Ramen is king - Edit
I had their Pink Vegan Ramen with extra Egg and Bamboo shoots and it rocked my world! They use wood ear fungus which I'd never even heard of and now want to try and find back home. The broth tasted like a rich red Thai curry. Top notch stuff.
