Special experience! - Edit
We cooked tofu in a pot at our own table with the recommendation in what way to eat the different tofu (silken tofu on the sides, more chewy tofu in the middle). The sushi we had was super fish-like in texture according to my carnivore husband, and was really delicious. The dessert was very good and served in a cute hedgehog dish. Especially the matcha Sakura creme brulee was very good. The owner even shared some of his personal sake with us. Very nice experience!

Disappointing - Edit
We took the simple ramen, curry and boiled gyoza. They were just OK, the ramen was definitely pretty and yet tasted bland - nothing more. At the bottom of our vegan ramen list. After we’ve read the reviews here we expected something way better, especially for such a steep price.

Cons: Price, Taste, Service

Best fully vegan meal I’ve had in Kyoto. Ramen was exceptional and the matcha ice cream was a perfect ending to an unforgettable meal. Will be back.

Everything was Amazing! - Edit
We had an amazing lunch here - the food was so amazing and flavorful, the setting we very pretty and there were nice little touches everywhere. Of course the service was excellent in typical Japanese fashion. A must visit if you are in Kyoto and veg / gluten free - I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Great Ramen - Edit
This was a really nice place to eat. Ordering was via QR code which took you to a menu. We had a selection of hot ramen, cold ramen and fried dumplings. The cold ramen came with avocado and pineapple which I quite liked. This one comes with ice cubes in the ramen.

A Creamy Vegan Ramen Like No Other — Powered by Soy Milk - Edit
Among the growing number of vegan ramen spots in Japan, Uno Ramen Sanjo stands out for its distinctively rich and creamy broth made with soy milk. The soup delivers deep, savory flavor without the heaviness often associated with traditional ramen, making it surprisingly light and easy to enjoy.
Read moreEven for Japanese locals, the taste offers a fresh and novel experience, while international visitors will likely find it an impressive example of how satisfying plant-based ramen can be. Whether you’re vegan or not, this is the kind of bowl that keeps you coming back—an addictive, one-of-a-kind ramen that bridges cultures and palates.

Special but a little bit pricy - Edit
The ambiance is very beautiful, and if you sit at the bar, you can watch how everything is prepared and see the amount of work that goes into it. Each piece of sushi is artfully assembled, sometimes decorated with flowers or similar touches, which helps explain and justify the price
Read moreWe were very hungry and curious, so we ended up ordering almost every sushi on the menu, and we actually liked all of them. Especially the one with fried eggplant, vegan cheese, and fish substitute stood out. But overall, everything was good and definitely recommendable.

Positive Surprise ♥️ - Edit
Finished everything with a good feeling in the stomach! Very light ramen but very flavourful - perfect balance.
Read moreThe self-rolled “tuna” sushi was amazing too!
I agree with the other reviews that the sushi is overpriced. I was happy to find something vegan 😊
I ordered the 3 pickled vegetables on the side, which I wouldn’t order again. Nothing special.

Good - Edit
But pricey! The ramen isn't so special but we had too few options late in the night. The creme brulé, the croquettes and the Sakura cocktail were wonderful! At the entrance of the place there is a vendor machine selling whole vegan cakes and pies!

Way too expensive - Edit
The location is beautiful.
Read moreThe old Japanese style building was fully renovated with love to details.
The food is overpriced. 1000 yen for 2 sushi nigiri, almost 3000yen for a bowl of ramen! Both the ramen and the sushi lacked flavour. I had the same ramen I had at their other store a few months ago, but for some reason it didn't taste as good as the last time.

Traditional style dining - Edit
We had the ramen, shumei & gyozas. The traditional style dining was lovely with a beautiful garden view. There were some seats at the bar for those who wouldn’t be comfortable on the floor. We loved the dumplings but found the prices to be a bit higher than elsewhere.

Lovely staff - Edit
Very kind staff who managed to squeeze us in last minute.
Read moreAtmosphere was very authentic. Fast service. Miracle puddings were eye opening. The strawberry shortcake was stunning. Crème brûlée was so addictive I ended up buying more from the vending machine outside uno gion soy (different place).
Don’t understand some of the reviews on here - food was great.
Seating is on the floor. Or some bar seats available.
Big recommendation for the plum rose and daura beer.
Food could have been warmer.

Good soy milk ramen - Edit
I've been to one of the other branches of soy milk ramen in Kyoto and this is very much more of the same. I haven't really seen many places offering a vegan soy milk ramen so it's something a little bit different.
Read moreTwo of us got the dandan soy milk ramen and enjoyed it. The broth is nice and creamy and well seasoned. The chilli oil also helps bring a bit more flavour to the broth. There's a variety of toppings and some are definitely superior to others. The tofu piece is good, the soy mince adds a nice bit of flavour and the couple of dumplings are a nice treat. Some of the vegetable stuff is a bit less exciting.
The third of our party got a curry rice. This had a couple of soy meat balls and an okara croquette. The croquette was a highlight here with the okara providing a nice creamy filling with some bite to it. We also got some of these as a side and we all enjoyed them. The curry was well seasoned and made for a good hearty meal.
We got a couple of cakes for dessert and I was not very impressed. I got the chocolate cake and my partner got a strawberry cake. Both cakes were well flavoured with lots of tasty cream but I did not like the texture of the sponges at all, fortunately they were mostly cream.
You have to take your shoes off and the restaurant mostly has floor seating. There are a few seats and the bar and a low table where there is space for your feet to drop down below regular floor level.

Delicious ice cream but subpar ramen - Edit
I hope there’s a choice for ramen style. Gluten-free rice noodle is just not my thing. Soy broth is mediocre, colourful presentation, but questionable combination. 300 yen for chilli oil is a bit too much.
Read moreSteamed gyoza is so-so, my family don’t like the filling.
Matcha crème brûlée seems like a failure, it was very fluid.
Matcha ice cream is the only star of our 7300 Yen meal.
For those who do not have gluten allergy, I’d recommend Towzen ramen, simply the best.
Cons: Expensive, Mediocre taste, Shared space with condo and coin laundromat

Enttäuschende Erfahrung - Edit
Wir hatten 1.5h bis all das essen da war.
Read moreEin Kollege hat bis zum Schluss sein Ramen nicht bekommen, wollte dieses aber auch nicht mehr, da die anderen 2 Ramen einen Esel Geschmack hatten.
Der erste Teil des Sushi kam nach 1h (12Stk), die restlichen nach 1,25h (8 Stk).
Generell war die Reihenfolge der Gereichte sehr sonderbar.
Für den Preis überhaupt nicht gerrecht.
Sushi war schön angerichtet und gut, aber waren verbrannt (da der Käse mit einen Brenner geschmolzen wird). Das Ramen sah lecker aus, hatte für uns aber einen Eseligen nachgeschmack.
Für diesen Preis erwarte ich mehr Qualität. Das kenne ich anders von weitaus günstigeren Restaurants in Japan.
Eine Entschuldigung für das fehlende Ramen, fehlanzeige.
30'000 Yen für 5 Personen und dieser Service? Nie mehr wieder.
Eine reine Enttäuschung, welche ich nach den anderen Bewertungen nicht verstehen kann...
Pros: Das Ambiente war super schön, Traditionell, Bestellung per QR Code auf Handy
Cons: Preis- Leistungsverhältniss, Ramen und Kroketten wurden vergessen, Teilweise angebranntes Essen

Beautiful food and restaurant - Edit
The interior design is beautiful. You have to remove your shoes at the entrance. For seating they have a private room up to 4 people (maybe more), some counter seats, and floor seating.
Read moreThe food was beautiful. It was not only delicious, but it was presented beautifully and there was so much detail placed in each dish from the way it was decorated to the way it was served.
I definitely recommend coming here.
I made a reservation, so I would recommend making one.

This was an absolutely incredible meal. The ambience of the place is really special and very traditional. I enjoyed the meal with my Omni Husband who said he didn’t miss meat at all and found it incredibly tasty. The added gluten free bonus left us feeling full but not bloated

An absolute gem - Edit
We got Gekka dandan ramen, which is supposed to be slightly spicy, but it was not at all. It tasted incredibly smooth and creamy, and all the toppings were flavourful and just overall delicious. We also got the vegan sushi 6-piece set and enjoyed every piece. We ended with strawberry shortcake and sakura matcha creme brulee, both tasty.
Read moreThe meal cost us 11.000 yen for a shared appetiser, a main dish, a dessert, and a drink, which was about €35 p.p. Some might argue it was rather expensive (compared to the area's average), but it was so worth the price.
The place looks so cute and homey. The atmosphere was nice, though there was a group (4ppl) next to us, and they were rather loud.
The service could be a bit slow because it seemed the owner (or manager?) was also the chef and server, but he was really nice and sweet!
Ordering is made via a QR code, easy and convenient.
Would definitely come back if we have the chance.
