Good restaurant, better desserts! - Edit
This is a good lunch and dinner restaurant with classic Japanese cuisine. They have a great omurice and curry. The menu is a bit limited but what they have is full of flavour. The desserts are amazing with loads of strawberry’s and tiramisu.

Nice food, okay-ish service - Edit
The yuba omurice was interesting and tasty, and we really liked the karaage, burger patty, and katsu. The service, however, was a bit disappointing, the waitress seemed unbothered and only came to take our order when it was last call, even though we had tried twice to get her attention earlier. For dessert, the tiramisu was good, but the soft serve was meh.

It was not that cosy, the waitress was not too kind. The food did not taste homemade, but overall okay. Overpriced in my opinion.

Bland and overpriced. Stay away! - Edit
I'm surprised this place has such high scores. Is the food inedible? No. Is it good? Also no. Taste was below average and for the price point unacceptable. The ramen has no tofu or other ingredients, there are like 3 sad small mushrooms and the rest is just noodles. As for their deep fried dishes, it also tastes bland. Store bought frozen vegan nuggets have more flavor. The price does not match the quality here.

Every bite was perfection! - Edit
The food here is absolutely delicious! The meal set is amazing, with so many different flavours that our taste buds had a feast. This restaurant would have to be the best vegan food we’ve had in Japan. We wish we had stayed longer in Kyoto so we could go every day to try all the dishes on their menu.

Fantastic meal - Edit
I went for the tofu hamburger and soy cutlet set where pretty much all parts were 10/10. The only thing I didn't finish was the soup as was too strong a flavour for me.

Great omurice! - Edit
I really liked the omurice here! Wasn’t sure about getting it and I’m glad I went for it and gave it a try. It’s definitely not ketchup-like for the Americans who might be wondering if it’s a good idea to try and combine these things. I got it as a set with the salad.
Read moreMy partner got a cutlet set, and it looked beautiful, but also had a lot of pickled/fermented elements to it in the vegetables. These weren’t bad, but I was initially super jealous of his meal - not so much after I tried some of the sides. The dishes weren’t bad, and they do have flavor, but it’s a more delicate flavor and relies a lot on pickled flavors. If that’s your thing, you might like it a lot! I don’t mind it, but prefer if it’s a smaller part of the set. I might return to try the seasonal steamed vegetable set though!
Pros: Tasty omurice, Nice atmosphere , Authentic and creative food
Cons: Some dishes may not align with western tastes

Good but there is better in Kyoto - Edit
The food was good but not as great as I expected from the reviews. I had the miso cutlet set. Two of the dishes had no flavor, the others were good, especially the miso cutlet. Servers weren’t all that friendly.

Cute! - Edit
Really cute restaurant that have a couple different options for dinner.
Read moreWe both tried the omurice and it was super delicious 🫶🏻 The only thing is that we both felt hungry within two hours of eating it, so that was a bummer.
They do really good soft serves as well ✨️

Very nice place, pretty good food. - Edit
We really enjoyed the location and the prices are okay - 2500 yen for a quite filling meal with lots of different things to try. We liked the main parts but didn't LOVE it.

Lots of different small plates! DELICIOUS! - Edit
First of all, this place is super nice. Very spacious and clean. We got the 3 item special set meal. We wanted to try as many different things as possible. We also got the Yuba Omelet Rice too! It’s a lot of fun to try all kinds of new food. The okra, cutlets, and tofu steaks were GREAT. All the veggie dishes were good too. I recommend getting the set and splitting it with someone!

Healthy balanced meal - Edit
Got a platter with varied tofu dishes, was very tasty and filling.Unfortunately dessert was brought to us before the meal arrived . I chose to keep my dessert until after i had finished my meal which meant it had melted somewhat. Would recommend but maybe just for meal or dessert not both

Cons: Was unable to fully enjoy dessert

A MUST GO IN KYOTO. We were one week in Kyoto and I liked it so much that I went there two times. You can eat super delicious ice cream, curry, Ramen and a full set menu. I was really happy and after eating you can go to the vintage market that's right under the shop.

I was excited about having dinner at this restaurant with all the good reviews. After ordering the full plater I was disappointed and did not find any of the elements very good. The okara and cutlet seemed to be fried poorly and were very oily and soggy.

Disappointing Dinner - Edit
I was looking forward to dinner here after reading multiple great reviews, however the dinner sets my partner and I both ordered were very disappointing. The ‘meats’ seemed to have been fried in cold oil, leaving them soggy and very oily tasting. The side dishes that were pickled were good, but the rest was very bland or just tasted off. Honestly the best thing on the plate was the white rice. I would recommend going elsewhere while in Kyoto.

Delicious - Edit
We had such a great meal here. The set menus with tofu steak, miso cutlets and fried okara were amazing. We came hungry and left so satisfied. I’d have gone back if we’d had more time in Kyoto. Highly recommend the matcha shake too.
