Delicious spicy ramen

I got the "gekka" dandan spicy noodles and loved it. I loved all the surprising flavors and textures from the nuts, lotus root, goji berries, and soy meat to the dumplings and noodles. I added extra shichimi and the Japanese pepper from their spices on the table for a little more kick. I also ordered the okara and thought they were a tasty take on the potato ones, just wish it came with sauce, but they tasted great dipped in the ramen broth.

Great food, quick service, friendly staff!

After struggling to find some consistent vegan options in Hakone and Nagoya we were so happy to dine here our first night in Kyoto. We went big! Shumai, Gyoza, ramen, matcha ice cream, and a delicious iced cocktail! We loved it- great flavors and even though there was a short wait, the staff was quick to seat us and were very friendly.

Good not great

I liked the ramen but I’ve also had better for a smaller price. I tried two of their cookies too: chocolate and strawberry, and they were tasty!

Great experience

The food was so good that I went two days in a row. There is usually a queue to enter but I didnt have to wait more than 20min.
The menu has a good variety of ramen and some side dishes. The food was very tasty and the staff is very friendly.
The only thing is that is a bit more pricey than vegan ramen in other restaurants.

Pros: Friendly staff, Good food, Location

Cons: A bit pricey

Friendly staff, yummy gyoza

I tried the hana ramen and the gyoza. The gyoza is some of the best I’ve had in Japan. The ramen as served is a bit bland, but I believe that is intentional—there are several spices available at the tables so you can customize the food to your personal taste.

Pros: Staff friendliness, Able to accommodate a group of five

Cons: A little pricey

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!

Went again and got the September special cold ramen and was disappointed! There was not much broth, a lot of ice cubes (to keep everything cool but the amount of broth was just way too little), a lot of tomato but only like 5 small pieces of avocado and a bit of pineapple. The fried tofu is not seasoned and looks familiarly like cheep supermarket ones. The broth didn't taste as good as it did before and the portion was all in all smaller than the cheaper 'Hana'.
Very sad to have spend a bit more that 2300¥ on that!

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!

Ok but...

​Unser Mittagessen im Uno Yokiko in Kyoto war leider eine gemischte Erfahrung, die den hohen Preis nicht rechtfertigen konnte.
​Obwohl das Restaurant makellos sauber und ordentlich ist, was man in Japan erwartet, waren die Sitzverhältnisse typisch japanisch beengt. Das ist an sich kein Problem, trug aber zur insgesamt eher unbequemen Atmosphäre bei.
​Wir haben alle Vorspeisen bestellt, in der Hoffnung, eine Vielfalt an Aromen zu erleben. Leider waren die meisten Gerichte geschmacklich nicht sehr unterschiedlich. Insbesondere die Gyoza schmeckten enttäuschend fad und hatten kaum individuelle Noten. Hier wurde eine Chance verpasst, mit kreativen Geschmacksnuancen zu überzeugen.
​Auch die Hauptspeise, die Sojamilch-Ramen, konnte uns nicht vollends überzeugen. Zwar war die Brühe cremig, aber es gab davon viel zu wenig. Es fühlte sich an, als ob die Nudeln nur mit einer dünnen Schicht Soße überzogen wären, anstatt in einer reichhaltigen Brühe zu schwimmen.
​Mit über 4000 Yen pro Person für eine Gruppe von fünf, bewegt sich das Uno Yokiko im höheren Preissegment. Angesichts der geschmacklichen Enttäuschungen sowohl bei den Vorspeisen als auch bei den Ramen, scheint dieser Preis nicht gerechtfertigt. Es gibt in Kyoto zahlreiche Ramen-Läden, die für deutlich weniger Geld eine bessere Qualität und ein authentischeres kulinarisches Erlebnis bieten.

Great Appetizers

The gyozas and potato croquettes were absolutely amazing.

The dandan noodles were a little bit bland, but after thoroughly mixing and eating some of the toppings the flavour was more intense.

The desserts again were excellent! The brulee especially.

It is fairly pricey (tripple $$$), but ultimately worth it: we paid 12800 Yen for two people for a cocktail, a starter, a main and a desert per person. Without the cocktails, it would have been 9500.

Pros: Great taste, Portion size, Fast service

Excellent vegan food!

One of the best vegan meals I’ve had in Japan. They’re vegan and gluten free. The gyoza was just outstanding, what an umami! Their Dandan Ranes was super delicious and also the Matcha ice cream was fresh and creamy.
Slightly priced but understandable for them to sustain the business.

Pros: Umami Taste, Service , Staff friendliness

Nicely balanced ramen

The say milk ramen was nice and creamy. I had some optional spice on the side which was perfect. The okra croquettes were very nice as well. Good choice if you’re in Gion

Cute restaurant/airbnb/laundromat

On our rounds of Kyoto's temples, we stopped here for lunch, and there was a lot of choice! Albeit some items were unavailable and others a bit expensive, it was delicious and cozy. They know that a lot of their customers come from Happy Cow and are very accommodating to (and inquisitive about) all allergies/aversions

Pros: Variety of add-ons for each dish, Dessert on the menu and vending machine outside

Cons: Tad expensive without any add-ons

YUMMY AF

The ramen was delicious ! The gyozas were also amazing. The drinks were overpriced though. Plus it is located in a shabby building, the laundry is visible so it really decreases the enjoyment of the experience …

Cons: Building , Interiors

Best Ramen

Title says it all. Of the two visits to Kyoto I was aware of this place, I managed to go an insane amount of times. Twice in one day, dinner for multiple days in a row, you name it. It isn’t a traditional ramen flavor, but that’s part of what I makes it so incredible. I could go on forever about this place, try it if you have the chance. For your first time if it’s within your budget get the dandan ramen with the rice and vegan cheese for after you finish your noodles. Croquettes are great as well. All gluten free. Sometimes there is a wait so go during less busy meal times if you can. Enjoy!

Pros: Flavor, Gluten Free, Presentation

Very tasty ramen

The creamy soy milk ramen were good! I love that they come with steamed gyoza inside! The yakuzen and veggie combi is questionable tho.
I also really liked the modern Japanese interior. The classic music didn't really fit this, tho ...
The Ice-cream came in a cute little hedgehog and was sooo good!
The vending machine with vegan in-house sweets in front of the shop is very unique.

Un peu décevant

Restaurant plus cher que la moyenne, et les ramens ne sont pas exceptionnelles. La sauce au lait de soja est un peu fade et il y avait vraiment trop de salade/verdure dans le plat, cela couvrait les autres goûts et textures.
Mon mari (non vegan) n'a pas aimé du tout son plat.

Decent ramen, a bit expensive

We tried soy milk ramen with soy sauce (~2,100 yen) and Dan Dan ramen (~2,300 yen). Note that much of the menu was a lot more expensive (items in 3,000 yen range). Dan Dan ramen was very flavourful and Soy milk soy sauce ramen was good. Both had 2 really tasty dumplings inside and other interesting toppings . Coming from Canada where there is lots of good vegan ramen, this didn’t blow my mind. But it was a good meal. Note that the shop seats about 15 people at once. We had to wait about 30 min for a table at 7:30 pm on a weekday during golden week

Pros: Decent ramen with interesting toppings , Incredible dumplings in the ramen

Cons: expensive

Lecker, große Auswahl

Es gabe viele Ramen und nebengerichte. Auch Nachspeisen.
Ein bisschen teurer aber gut.
Als wir gekommen sind mussten wir vor dem Laden warten, wir wurden aber schnell rein gerufen.

Ramen muy original

Me gustó muchísimo, le pongo 4 estrellas porque los tiempos de cola son una locura y los gestionan un poco regular. Un poco caro pero teniendo en cuenta todos los ingredientes que lleva el ramen y la presentación merece mucho la pena. El ramen en sí no es TAN caro para el tiempo de preparación que conlleva, pero te hacen pedir una bebida obligatoriamente y ahí es donde se te va el presupuesto. Tienen una máquina expendedora de postres veganos sin gluten fuera, esa sí que no la recomiendo, compré un pastelito de frutas y no estaba muy allá.
