El tofu que te cambia la vida - Edit
Visitar los restaurantes de Yukiko Uno siempre es para estar de enhorabuena. En UNO RAMEN - Sanjo se cuidan los detalles, tanto es así que tendrás que hacer la «ceremonia japonesa» del primer al último paso. Por ello, tienes que dejar los zapatos en unas curiosas y bonitas cajetillas, con la mesa asignada y sentado en el tatami te explican el funcionamiento del restaurante, recibes tus cubiertos y así es como te dispones a comer. Itadakimasu!
Read moreAllí se comió, y de qué manera. Pude degustar varios platos compartidos; sin saberlo fue de peor a mejor. El listado empieza por las croquetas Okara junto a otra croqueta con bolas de «carne» hechas de soja y base de curry con arroz, los noodles Dandan Gekka y el tofu de la casa. Y aquí hay que parar, hacer una mención aparte. El tofu que se «sirve» es el mejor que he probado en mi vida. El entrecomillado de servir se debe a que ese tofu lo preparas tú mismo, un experimento que lejos de salir mal, te prepara para llevarte una de las mejores experiencias que este país puede ofrecerte. A fuego lento se cocina con sus propias especias y ya una vez fermentado a la boca directo: una sensación verdaderamente ascética. Cuando volví al mundo terrenal añadí un postre a la cuenta: un sucedáneo de flan de chocolate verdaderamente exquisito. Mención adicional merece el espacio del local en su totalidad: comedor estrícticamente tradicional, con decoración inigualable y un patio que invita a pasar allí todo el tiempo que quieras.
De todos los restaurantes que he visitado en Japón hasta la fecha, este fue seguramente en el que tuve una comida más redonda: del barrio de Gion siempre recordaré este tofu único, el ambiente distendido y un servicio de cinco estrellas (a pesar de las barreras idiomáticas). ¡Larga vida a Yukiko!

Great sushi - Edit
There are very few sushi options, so my goal was to eat ALL THE SUSHI. It didn’t disappoint.
Read moreMy husband had the ramen and the Homemade Tofu which you cook yourself.
Great atmosphere, servers, and food. Just great.

The best Ramen of my life - Edit
This place is a true gem 💎
Read moreFrom the moment you step inside, it feels like entering another ancient world: calm, atmospheric, and almost magical.
The food is exceptionally good. I would honestly say it was the best meal of my life. Every bite was unforgettable and prepared with incredible care and skill.
The service was unbelievably kind and attentive. I felt genuinely cared for and completely at ease throughout the entire experience.
A place I will remember for a long time and wholeheartedly recommend.
Pros: Food, Service, Ambience

Very traditional - Edit
Very near Gion, we found this vegan place. They don't seem to have "veganized" the dishes, but rather conceived them vegan from the start.
Read moreThe ramen was good. The fried gyozas where truly amazing. The tea was quite nice and the dessert was quite good as well.
Note that for the ramen, they also give you a number of spices as to make it suit your taste. You can always just not use them and the dish will be just fine.
Also, one of the most important aspects of this restaurann was the place itself. Traditionally decorated, tatamis, low tables and such. I would highly advise to get a reservation beforehand to ensure you have the best tables though. We had no trouble, but during high-demand hours, I would assume the reservations are important.
Pros: Gyozas were amazing, Top-tier decoration
Cons: A bit on the more expensive side

Don’t miss this experience! - Edit
While I’m only on day 2 of my trip to Japan, I anticipate this restaurant will be a highlight. I went with a group of 6 (I’m vegan and my partner is vegetarian but everyone else in our party eats fish), and we all loved it. We shared several of the sushi dishes and the gyoza and each got a ramen. Everything was incredible! Even though we were stuffed, we couldn’t miss out on dessert and my matcha truffle was worth it!

Pathetic service - Edit
Gekka Dandan spicy sesame based ramen, curry rice with a soy free hamburger patty, and gyoza were all pretty average.
Read moreThe Sakura cocktail with soy milk whipped cream and the matcha soy were good, especially the Sakura cocktail, which had a refreshingly unique taste.
The strawberry shortcake was delicious, and the matcha truffle was average.
They offered us a spice box even though we clearly said no. We expect Japanese food at a Japanese restaurant, not tikka masala. If other people expect that, it’s their problem. If you’re confident in your food, you wouldn’t ask customers to modify it.

Ramen with make your own tofu - Edit
We were lucky and were seated without a reservation. We sat at one of two horigotatsu tables that have a recess for your legs. The specialty of this place is do it yourself tofu making - you mix the ingredients and cook it for 10 minutes at your table, and add seasoning to suit. It works. Their ramen and dandan noodles were very good, as were the sesame pudding and yuzu brulee desserts. The presentation and ambience were lovely.

Average - Edit
I dont understand much the fuss with this place, the food is ok but far from amazing. I give it credit that its vegan and therefore should deserve extra credit, but the ramen is just not that good. The sushi is again average and I saw the kitchen opening things from packages and serving it directly into a plate, named tofu, coffee and a type of dessert.

🍰 - Edit
The place is absolutely stunning and the food was overall pretty good. I don’t eat gluten-free food by choice, but the ramen and dessert were very good. Konjac noodles aren’t usually enjoyable for me, but the pairing with the creamy ramen made it great. The cake and matcha ice cream were my favorite
Read moreIt is rather expensive — spent $40 on ramen, a sushi roll, a cake and matcha ice cream. However, given that it is a novelty for the trip, I don’t regret it whatsoever

L'ambiente è davvero molto bello, le persone gentilissime, peccato che si siano scordati una delle pietanza che avevamo ordinato e ormai eravamo seduti a tavola da più di un'ora quindi non avevamo più voglia di aspettare ancora per la cottura, abbiamo mangiato solo queste tre cose in foto... una lentezza pazzesca tra uno e l'altro...
Read morese avessero portato più rapidamente le altre portate avremmo chiesto prima ma appunto dato i tempi credevamo fosse regolare per loro
La crema catalana purtroppo non ci è piaciuta granchè
3570 per 3 tipi di sushi e crema catalana... niente da bere, prezzi davvero troppo alti, considerando anche l'errore soprattutto

My whole family was able to eat at this gem of a place. We made our own tofu which the kids loved. Croquettes, ramen. Vegan sushi, gyoza! All so good. The Zen garden next to the bathroom was quite lovely as well.

Diamo stati a cena ieri sera, ristorante molto carino, in perfetto stile Giappo,si mangia seduti sul tatami.
Read moreIo e mia moglie abbiamo provato 2 tipi diversi di ramen, il sushi e un dolce.
I ramen molto buoni entrambi, il sushi non ci ha fatto impazzire mentre il dolce(una sorta di crema catalana con del matcha) era buonissima! Concluso con un ottimo saké (matsumoto).
Unico punto di caduta forse è stato il conto, un po' sopra la media a mio avviso, detto ciò vale la pena andarci.
Pros: Saké, Ramen, Dolce
Cons: Conto sopra la media, Sushi

Relaxing Sunday lunch - Edit
We wandered into this place almost at random, using Google to lead us to any vegetarian eatery nearby. After 2 weeks of combini onigiri in Shikoku we felt like we were in heaven. Beautiful surroundings, friendly, attentive staff, absolutely delicious ramen, and who wouldn't want to make their own tofu at the table?? Yes, it is at the more expensive end, but so worth it compared to the ain soph burger of the day before (which was fine I hasten to add). We felt this meal was worth every cent for flavour, presentation and ambience. And the bathroom is great :).

Fantastic place - 100% Vegan - Edit
The Ramen plus starters and sides we had here was one of the best meals we ate in our 3 week Japan trip. Delicious and flavoursome. Plenty of choice on the menu. Service was super friendly and excellent as well. Definitely recomnend. Probably best to book ahead at busy times, was a small queue outside for tables when we left at 19.30 midweek.

Needs management improvement - Edit
We made a reservation for 6pm. We arrived and people were eating, the atmosphere felt nice and the place looked cute. However no server came to greet us for five minutes, one server looked at me but gave no indication he was going to say hello. Another member of staff came in behind us and we thought she was a customer because she didn’t even acknowledge us or say to anyone else there’s a customer in the entrance, she just walked past us into the kitchen.
Read moreThey then seemed confused that we had a reservation but we finally managed to get a seat. It took an hour to get just some water for the table, another hour to get the first three sides of our mandatory pre-ordered set meal as we made a reservation.
We ended up asking for the ramen to go as the service was so slow. We would definitely have been there for three hours if not, other couples who had also made reservations reported being there for as long. One pair had only order two ramens and were there that long! Around us, walk in groups seemed to eat and be served quickly, whilst pre-orders were left begging to be finished. One couple actually asked if they could leave without finishing their preordered set as they were so fed up.
Meanwhile dishes piled up on our table, with a server only taking them when the manager prompted them. I felt sorry for him! The restaurant felt like a one man show.
Slow service is a common complaint - but they’ve done nothing to solve it. A long line formed outside when we left having not finished our meal, we told them about their sister restaurant (soy milk ramen) which is just as good food but a whole lot quicker.
I would recommend going to the original and avoiding this one, even though the original is in a laundrette and looks dodgy!
Pros: Food was good
Cons: Extremely slow service, Dishes piled up, Poor service
