Tasty udon and tempura

This was a positive surprise for us, the food was absolutely delicious! We had a nice luch here after discovering that nearby vegan place was sold out for the day. We had to wait in line for a bit but it wasn’t too long (10min).

Very delicious Udon Noddles and tempura vegetables

Nice staff and good options. It was tasty and they were good at explaining the choices for a vegan. They use a mushroom broth for vegans.

Best meal so far in Kyoto

Simple, yet delicious. I had yummy fat udon noodles in vegan broth with more veg than appears usual in Japan! Presented like a little work of art. Best meal I've had so far (although I have got a few days left here...!)

Good udon!

They now specify the vegan dish that is a udon with lots of topping. Really good!

Cons: Only one vegan dish

Very nice Udon, Tempura has egg

Maybe some things have changed since the previous reviews. The English menu did not have a vegan option clearly marked, however the staff understood and showed us which Udon to order. The tempura has egg however, so vegans can only have the noodles and soup. You can choose to sit on the tatami mats or at a table.

Pros: One vegan option , Tasty vegan Udon with many toppings

Cons: Menu no longer clearly marked, Tempura uses egg

Excellent! Go here!

Would give 5 stars if I could. Probably the best meal I’ve had in Japan so far. The English menu didn’t say anything about vegetarian/vegan specifically, but the staff knew exactly what I was talking about when I brought it up. I ordered the vegetarian udon/tempura combo. For anyone saying there aren’t many veg options - there are only a few options that AREN’T veg! It’s an udon place so that’s all they have.

Pros: Staff understanding of vegetarianism, Amazing noodles, Nice atmosphere

Delicious Udon in Traditional Setting

I ordered the Vegan Udon Set with Tempura Vegetables. The meal was filling and came with a lot of veggies. We chose to sit in the traditional tatami mat area of the restaurant which gave the experience a more authentic feel. However, they do ask to not take pictures with other customers in them.

Pros: Delicious and filling vegan option, Excellent traditional style setting , Friendly staff, welcoming to foreigners

Cons: Slightly pricy

VEGAN UDON

You must make it here for vegan udon if in Kyoto. It's such a delicious meal and you don't want to miss out on the chance to eat udon in Japan! Get the pickles, too!

Pros: Vegan udon, Pickles, Lots of tables

Cons: Closes at 8:30 - get there an hour early

Option vegan dans un beau restaurant traditionnel

Chef très sympathique, une option vegan avec remplacement du bouillon au poisson par du bouillon aux champignons. Très bien présenté et prix modeste. Agréable cadre

Delicious Udon!

Omen was an amazing choice to eat at during our visit to Kyoto. It is right off of the Philosopher’s Path so it made for an excellent lunch detour. When you get there you need to specifically ask for the vegetarian broth. It was incredibly delicious udon and broth with so many toppings to add in. Check out Omen!

Amazing Udon

Good atmosphere, service was great and they have a tatami section. Spectacular udon, with great seasoning and toppings. They understand vegan. Wish they had a few more options though.

Amazing authentic noodles

They may not have many vegan options but the main dish this restaurant is known for is completely vegan. The udon were perfectly cooked and scented with Yuzu peel, the topping were great and the dipping sauce was piping hot. I personally also loved adding Japanese chilis to my noodles. Highly recommend.

Pros: Excellent vegan udon, selection of chilies, Traditional Japanese seating available

Cons: would be nice to have more vegan options.
