Delicious spicy creamy ramen

Delicious vegan options, had teriyaki tofu as a starter and a spicy, creamy ramen as a main. One of the best meals I’ve had in Japan so far.

Pros: Delicious food , A few different options

5 Star Ramen!

Best ramen I’ve had in Japan yet! Spicy, sesame flavour was delish and could even buy a jar to take home and make my own. Well worth the visit!

Pros: Fast service, Take home ramen , Lots of seating

The BEST ramen of my trip!

2 vegan options: creamy soy or spicy. I had the creamy option for 2 days in a row. It was the best meal I had in 2 weeks of visiting Kyoto/Osaka/Tokyo. There is a huge line around 6pm so I advise a lunchtime/afternoon visit as you may be able to walk straight in. My wife is a meat eater and here we could both enjoy a meal together.

Pros: 2 vegan options, Incredible flavour, Friendly staff and good vibes

worth the wait!

Have been hanging for a veggie Raman since we got to Japan and I am so happy this was the first experience. Just the right amount of spice, so thick and creamy. I can’t fault this ramen. The lines are long, but they move quickly. Would be 5 stars if I could.

Great ramen in a tourist spot

Most people (including us) were not Japanese. The creamy and spicy ramen were both delicious. Skip the steamed “Kyoto vegetables.” They’re boring.

Spicy and creamy vegan ramen

Although the ramen is a bit expensive (1848 yen per bowl), we still had a very nice and vegan friendly dinner. But we did have to wait in line for a little while, ±15 minutes.

We started with the vegan gyozas as an appetizer and then had the the two vegan ramens: spicy tandan ramen and creamy soy milk ramen. You can choose between fried tofu or an egg on top of your ramen, depending on if you're a vegan or vegetarian.
(My boyfriend is vegan, I'm vegetarian)

Their à la cart menu also has several vegan options and they had limited time vegan gyozas.

If you sit at the counter, like we did, you can see the food being cooked in front of you which is a nice bonus :)

Creamy sesame ramen!

Perfect thick creamy spicy broth for a cold rainy day! I don’t eat spring onions and they were very accommodating in not adding it. Oh and adding the half boil egg and fried tofu is so good!

Best ramen

I went for lunch and had the best tantan ramen I have ever tried. Staff can speak good English and the service is very fast. They have several vegan options

Vegan ramen in a really not vegan environment

A not welcoming ambience, young staff that does the bare minimum, where wagyu meat is fire cooked at the tables for most tables as their hero product.
With 2 vegan ramen options.
I ordered the spicy one, which was way way too creamy and thick, it made it look more like a pasta sauce than a ramen broth.
Shane because the flavour wasn't too bad.

Pros: I liked the black Sésame seeds butter in the ramen, I liked the ramen toppings

Cons: The frozen tofu was so dry, The broth was more of a cream, The smell of wagyu beef been cooked

Few vegan options - but delicious

We went to this restaurant and I was a little bit taken aback first.
Many non Japanese people and very few vegan options.

However the waiter was friendly and the design of the restaurant was pretty cool. I went for the non spicy Ramen and it was gorgeous. I have to try too cook this at home. The only negative point was that the tofu felt and tasted like a sponge and I would've preferred more vegetables in general. However the ramen itself was so delicious that I wont lower my rating.

Pros: Delicious food, Nice waiter, English menu

Cons: Tofu tasted like a sponge , Few vegan options

Fine, but not super tasty

Nice to have two vegan ramen options and a side and sushi, but honestly have had better food elsewhere. The soy milk ramen was quite weak on flavour, and the aubergine miso I just cooked aubergine with a dollop of miso paste on top.

Lovely food and ambiance. Difficult to find food for both the husband and myself in Japan (he’s a meat-eater), but this was a delight!

Was it really vegan?

We ate there after a long day strolling trough the city. We ordered both vegan ramens and were asked for allergies which we denied but said we were vegans. When we finally got our ramen it looked nice. Flavour was ok. I definitely had much better ramen in Japan which were vegan for sure. Later on i found something in my Soup which looked like parts of meat. That was really unfortunate. I was disgusted. When we asked what it might be the chef and the server both said that it was tofu. I am pretty sure it wasn‘t tho. Make sure to make clear you are vegan if you want the vegan option without negativ surprises.

Acceptable

Ramen was fine. Of the seven vegan ramens I have had in Japan it was in the bottom two. By no means bad, but the flavor just wasn’t top notch (definitely not enough to convince someone that vegan ramen is just as good as traditional).

Also, they are constantly flambé ing raw wagyu beef in other customers ramen which is pretty nasty to see and smell.

Acceptable if eating with a meat eater, but there are better vegan ramen options nearby.

Good ramen

There are two vegan ramen options. I had the spicy one and it was very nice. It wasn't too spicy, good level for me. Thick broth with nice sesame flavour. Tasty tofu on top.

Pros: Atmosphere, Food, Free stickers

Decent vegan ramen near Nishiki market

Two vegan ramens available as well as some sushi. I tried the new spicy ramen with a soy iced latte. I’ve tried quite a few vegan ramens during my trip now and this one was fine - tasty, good noodles, some tofu on top - but probably not my favourite flavour wise. Good location and nice space though.

Extremely disappointing

I was super excited to find a vegan ramen and then super disappointed by it, unfortunately. The broth was very bland and for some reason a stone cold block of tofu was put in my soup, making everything immediately lukewarm. The tofu had the texture of being thawed and refrozen a few times - not what I was expecting. I hope the vegan option can be improved, would love to see more of them around town.

Cons: Pricey, Bland, Tepid

Great Ramen

Nice casual location to grab a bowl of vegan Ramen. They have 2 vegan options on their menu with different ingredients, so if one isn’t your thing you have options. They also have traditional meat-based ramen, making it a good spot for mixed diet diners.

Pros: Mood, Taste, Cost

Excellent vegan options

The vegan soy ramen was delicious. I added some spicy stuff to give it a bit more of a kick. I also had the vegan Inari sushi. Everything was great. My partner had non-veg options and loved it all. Nice modern looking place, fast paced and they got us a seat even though it was packed.

Pros: Fast service and friendly staff , Great food and presentation, Good drinks

Nice ramen

Mild vegan ramen based on soy milk with the option of tofu or egg on the top. I would’ve wished for it to be a bit more flavorful but it was tasty! Non vegan ramen was also tasty according to my companion.

Pros: Friendly staff

Cons: Very mild ramen

Late night spot

We needed food after going out for drinks. This was open at 11 pm! The ramen was really good - nice creamy broth. Friendly service and nice atmosphere. They had beer as well!
