I've had better - Edit
Really wanted to love this but didn't meet my expectations. Ramen was good but I've had better. The doughnut is not really a doughnut, has the texture of a cake. I did the sit down option, skip it and just eat outside to save some money, it's not worth it.

favorite meal in japan - Edit
not a joke when i say this was my favorite meal in japan... i was finally able to get a reservation of my final attempt after 3 weeks! boy, was i happy i did... start to finish, UZU is an astounding experience both visually and flavorfully. my only regret? forgetting to try the kombucha. pro tip: get the yuba sushi if it's available!

Wow! - Edit
What a wonderful dining experience! The teamlabs art was mesmerizing and it was fun to sit at a big table and chat with other diners. Be sure to reserve several weeks in advance. We ordered both appetizers, ramen, and dessert, and it did not disappoint. 10 !

Amazing experience - Edit
There was a teamlabs art installation in the restaurant and the room itself was an "Infinity mirror" which made for a great experience while eating.

Reservation strongly recommended as it was a small space

Michelin rated. Not just a restaurant - an experience. - Edit
We’d been to the Tokyo version of this restaurant and were blown away. This restaurant didn’t disappoint - in fact, somehow it was even better. There was more to choose from and the room was enormous. Great atmosphere, and spectacular food. We had the best time. Will definitely come again.

Great food, but not quite worth the money - Edit
I was expecting more of an experience - there was one moving art piece on the wall, but it didn’t really change the whole time we were there, neither did the music much, and it didn’t flow over the table like I had hoped. The food itself was really great - I tried the spicy miso ramen and the sushi. It was very expensive though, two items on the limited menu weren’t available, we weren’t offered water, we had to ask for our sushi as they’d forgotten the order, and I had to pay an 8000 yen deposit for the two seats that might take a month to get back! #Veganuary

The best ramen - Edit
We had the miso based and the herbs ramen. They were both 10/10: so flavorful, rich and cozy. The atmosphere is very cool, people talk very quietly so you enjoyed the music and the art. It's not just a restaurant, it's a whole experience that is totally worth it. A little bit pricey, but it's worth the money.

Great ramen, tasty sushi, seriously understaffed - Edit
Had the 8 mountain herbs ramen and vegan sushi, bith were great. The place has this artsy atmosphere. However, there are only two waitresses working and they always rushed in and out of the kitchen. Very often the whole room is left with the diners alone with zero staff attending to the needs. Took me 30 mins to get a waitress to notice me so that I can PAY.

Incredible - Edit
This is the best ramen I’ve had in Japan it had so much flavour. The vegan sushi was also amazing. The ice cream was good but not sensational like the rest of the food. The atmosphere was nice but I guess a little pretentious.

Loved it - Edit
I booked my reservation here this based more on the Happy Cow ratings than a deep dive on the restaurant. Was delighted to encounter such a unique atmosphere. Food was excellent. I had the sushi and the green mountain ramen.

Unbelievable tasty Ramen - Edit
The best vegan ramen I had so far. You can’t get wrong to eat here. Really cool experience but a bit touristy. Don’t forget to reserve a seat and enjoy the experience also respecting the other guests.

Incredibly tasty, cool experience - Edit
We had the spicy miso ramen and the szechuan pepper miso ramen, which both tasted great, especially the noodles. For starters we had the vegan sushi plate which also tasted incredible. Did not have any desserts.
Read moreThe atmosphere is really cool and artful, I just found the seating (with strangers right next to you) a bit off-putting. Really nice staff.

Innovative - Edit
Decent vegan ramen place. Th soy sauce ramen was quite good. The spicy green tea ramen wasn’t to my taste, and the yuba rolls weren’t my thing either, the filling was pulverized and the taste was foreign, I might have liked it better if there’s more texture. The ice cream was horrible, it exceeded my sugar tolerance by a huge margin, but it can be a good thing if you like over-sweetened ice cream.
Read moreThe immersive experience is top notch, combined with teamlab’s famous infinite mirror. But you will likely be sharing the experience with others on the only table, and unable to rid strangers of your photos.
I’d recommend this spot for the experience, and I’d suggest to avoid the yuba rolls and green tea ramen if you’re not too adventurous.

Delicious broth! - Edit
Wow, super yummy food. The broth was so rich and well balanced and full of flavour. We had the simple soy ramen with the tomato & the seasonal 8 herb ramen. The herbs were so fragrant. You need to book in advance via their website. You have to order one dish and one drink per person. Highly recommend this place.

Time & money are worth it - Edit
I usually never queue at restaurants because I don't have the patience, but I queued for this restaurant for more than an hour with a friend. Regarding this effort and the price I had high expectation, but they were even surpassed by the deliciousness of the food. The sushi and the yuba rolls were amazing starters, but also the ramen were outstanding. In the beginning I was worried about the big chunk of onion in my soup as I'm not the biggest fan, yet it turned out to be the most delicious component! I will definitively queue again.

An incredible immersive experience of tasty food and art - Edit
An immersive art and food experience with 3D moving Calligraphy, lofi music and mirrors around a fully black table. It was an intimate setting with only seats.
Read moreOn entry the staff handed us a meditation essential oil blend to smell and explained this restaurant is promoting the transcendence of self and to bring peace.
It was such a great experience and the food was so delicious and flavourful! On top of that, as you can see, it was decorated so well - a presentation for the eyes, body and mind. 🧘♀️
Pros: Beautiful experiece, Incredible taste

Best ramen I’ve had - Edit
I had the Tsukemen ramen with sishuan peppers and not only was it fun to eat (it’s a ramen you dip in sauce), but it was delicious as well. Uzu is also zero waste so they ask you to tell you when the noodles are done. When you do they bring out a hot dashi so you can finish the sauce as a soup. Everything was amazing from the food to the experience and the staff. We also had the full sushi sides to share, which is a must, you can also order half which are 3 instead of 6. Amazing experience you can enjoy with omni friends. Wish I took a picture of the Ramen, but I dug into it so fast I forgot.
Read moreAlmost forgot to mention, it’s cheap! They have a star in guide Michelin but every ramen is only around a 1000 yen.
Make sure to make reservations and for more days than one if you have time.

Amazing ramen, amazing experience - Edit
This is a Michelin star rated restaurant and it looks it. An amazing aesthetic experience walking in, great digital artwork, lovely personal service, you even get some essential oil dabbed on your wrists when you enter.
Read moreThe ramen was exceptional, best I’ve had in Japan, really fresh herbs, and the ice cream was also the best I’ve had here. It was $110 for two people, but absolutely worth it. I will come back next time I’m in Kyoto.
Pros: All vegan, amazing ramen, Great service, Exceptional environment and experience
Cons: A little expensive (though worth it!)

Amazing food - Edit
Very quiet which was unexpected, but the art was cool and the food absolutely incredible so worth it if you normally like a louder/buzzy place. My omnivore partner said it was one of the best ramen he has ever had! We got the two spicy options with the sushi entree. We booked a few weeks in advance to get our seat but it looked like a few lucky late walk ins were successful.

A special dinner experience - Edit
This is really something special. The dimly lit room with big screen art display and facing mirrors make dining at Uzu an experience like no other. The food is art in and of itself.
Read moreThoughtfully plated ramen dishes with bold and uncommon flavors. The sushi is sublime as well. Topped off by excellent service makes this place worth the sightly (though not outrageously) higher price.
Pros: Quality noodles, Excellent sushi, Tasty vegan ice cream

Very relaxing experience and excellent food - Edit
I loved this place! The food was very tasty and also very pleasing to the eye. The big table which accommodates 16 guests is beautiful and the screen shows digital art.
Read moreI recommend booking in advance, they do take walk ins but only if someone cancels and two people waited two hours and were then told no one had cancelled. It’s honestly great but it’s makes no sense for me to wait 2 hours to eat anywhere
Pros: Only vegan options ✨, Great food , Aestetic
Cons: You need to book in advance , Long wait if you didn’t book and might not eat
