Amazing

The ramen at this restaurant is amazingly delicious.
Immersive digital art is also wonderful.

Great Unique Dining Experience

I'm surprised by some of the other reviews here; the staff were extremely friendly, in both Japanese and English, and yes, the experience is different than "wooden table" ramen, but it is interesting and different. I recommend this place if you want a dining experience—a nice spot for a date. The tsukemen was very nice, and after we finished the noodles, we were given broth to mix and drink with the remaining tsukemen. It is a more high end restaurant, and a futuristic feel, so if you want something more traditional you should look elsewhere, but if you want a fun, novel experience with good ramen, this is a great choice.

Pros: Thick Tasty Tsukemen, Novel and interesting

Great experience but stiff and unfriendly

I definitely recommend checking out this restaurant. We ordered the dumplings, sushi, and ramen, and were more than satisfied with the taste. It was delicious!
The environment is the main reason to go to this restaurant - the lighting and dining experience is truly unique and I'll remember it forever. It's as though being in an art exhibition while dining. Although one may tire of this after the hours pass. I do wonder how the staff cope with such a sensory overload for some number of hours.

My one, yet notable complaint comes down to my experience at the end of dining. Due to much food and a beer, yet especially to the bowl of hot oily ramen, my partner and I were parched and groggy. I asked for the cheque and a glass of water. I was told firmly that water was to be purchased (at a ghastly price of 400 yen per bottle), and that due to the time being past the last order, I would not be getting any water.

No water at a ramen bar? This unfriendly service was enough to wake me from the spell I was under, enchanted by the graphics and mirrors of the restaurant. I paid the bill and thanked the staff, to no reply. I left into the dark rainy streets of Kyoto and walked in search of a vending machine to buy a bottle of water. The cold clunk it sounded, and the water it gave me being more satisfying in the end than the thousands of yen I spent at this one.

Pros: Dynamic and enchanting dining experience, Delicious food

Cons: Limited drink menu, Over time, an over-stimulating environment

Best Vegan Ramen I ever had

Their vegan Ramen and Gyoza were the best I ever had! Service and the especially thröe atmosphere were amazing. The inside is so beautiful and relaxing. The only think I dislike is the price. Even though the ramen already costs 1200 yen we had to order drinks which coat at least 600 yen extra. Besides that I really recommend this place!

Pros: all vegan, amazing atmosphere, good service

Cons: you have to buy drinks

Many many better Ramen place in Kyoto, maybe with some old wooden tables, but with soul and passion

One Japanese friend asked me to go eat with i'm to this new Vegan Ramen in Kyoto, because, i told me, there is a beautiful digital artwork from some famous artist. I went. I actually don't like business that are not coherent. What's the connection to make vegan food and at the same time wasting electricity to create a kind of star wars atmosphere? Vegan is not just about food... How was the Ramen? Standard....

Cons: Vegan is just the food, Very business oriented
