"Art and veganism fuse in the novel dining experience that is Vegan Ramen UZU. In the dark interior, jet-black tables and displays like ink drawings conjure an otherworldly milieu. Ramen ingredients are plant- and algae-based: vegetables, kombu kelp and so forth. Soups of soy sauce and miso are enlivened with fragrant oils. Kombu and shiitake grounds are put to use in à la carte dishes of tofu-skin rolls. The philosophy here is that every part of every ingredient is used." - Michelin Inspector

"Though he apprenticed in kaiseki, the chef became captivated by the freedom à la carte dishes gave him. To create a restaurant where the customer comes first, he crafted a menu with a full range of options. Potato salad combines beef with pickled turnip, the better to serve as a drinking snack. Sweetfish sushi uses roasted sweetfish paired with vinegared rice seasoned with Japanese pepper. The rice ball with eel tempura filling is an idiosyncratic touch. As the conversation flows with the amiable owner-chef, time flows by in a comfortable mood." - Michelin Inspector

Restaurant has a clever team lab concept to draw people in. It looks like the restaurant mainly caters to tourists and it’s an Instagram place with the atmosphere. The food quality and the amount of food were just okay in my opinion, considering the price is over 7000 yen. Noodle texture can definitely be more firm with more toppings.

A very unique and special experience, The food was great, we've reserved the table a day before and selected 2 soy ramen dishes. You can feel the atmosphere already in the entrance, very calm and relaxing. The food is very good, you are getting the whole package, we got in total 4 courses: 2 starters, ramen, desert, and drink.

This was an amazing dining experience. From the time you enter to the end of your meal, it is a very intentionally crafted experience. The staff are friendly and clearly passionate. It was a little pricy for ramen, but we found the combination of the delicious food and the ethereal atmosphere made it more than worth it. The sake was top notch too. Be sure to make a reservation to dine here!

I/we have visited a number of times and every time we are never disappointed. The entire experience is always excellent: the ambience, service, and especially the food. I didn’t think anything could compare to the old ala carte menu, but the two new prix fixe menu choices are outstanding.

You have to pay in advance with a fixed price. They have a menu ready in advance and you can choose between two options for your main course. It cost us 77$ each, for a 4 course meal with 2 drinks. It was delicious, the ambiance is intimate and calm. The staff are great and friendly!

Great experience! Reservations are generally recommended. You pay ahead for a set meal and the service and food were fantastic. The staff explains each dish as they are served. 2 different ramen choices. The Kinako ice cream was a highlight!

Our best vegan meal in Japan, highly recommended. We went for lunch on a special couple occasion and didn't disappoint. Just be aware you wil be sitting beside each other and not in front, at a large common table - but that's part of the experience. Even though it's on the pricey side, you are buying the full experience and enough food is served to make you feel just about right. The set menu comes served at your pace, in the time we were there we have seen a couple of rounds of people rush through their ramen and leave, but we were given more time. Service is simple and discrete and (quite) professional (I was kindly invited to finish something I had left in the plate... but it can be excused). Will be back.

A vegan dining experience like no other. From the minute you walk in the room, you immediately become present with the art and culinary delight that will unfold before you. The spicy ramen was immaculate and the vegan cheese tart before the main meal was divine. Probably the best possible vegan meal you can find in Kyoto!
