Okay - Edit
Maybe because everyhting else taste so good, but this was kinda bland. If you have no other options it will serve, but I cannot recommend specifically going here to have a tasty time.

Filling and satisfying noodles, and vegan too! - Edit
Imagine you have arrived into Kyoto and need to find some place to eat quickly. Easier said than done for vegans or vegetarians! Don't worry, Morihei has your back. I tried their vegan kenchin soba and just loved the mushrooms, veggies and super delicious broth. The quantity is also big.

Decent options - Edit
They have a few vegetarian/vegan options ( udon, soba, rice )
Read moreGot the tempura veggies on rice with soba and it was actually pretty good. Rice was a bit bland but I’m not picky so I enjoyed it. A bit on the more expensive side ( wouldn’t say pricey, but given the country yk )

Fine taste, and nice amount of options - Edit
I would say about 3.5 if the app allowed it, because the taste wasn't that spectacular. However, what made me give it 4 is the fact that they actually had multiple nice looking vegan options. I had the warm vegetable soba, but they also had a cold soba and two rice dishes. This variety is something a lot of other restaurants which also serve non-vegan food lack, and I appreciate it here.

Convenient - Edit
The restaurant is conveniently located in the station and has pretty long opening hours.
Read moreThere are 4 vegan options.
We got the Tendon with soba salad and picked vegetables on the side.
The portion is filling and everything tastes freshly made. The tempura is really crunchy and made of many different and unusual veggies (like paprika, broccoli and japanese peppers).

Great food - Edit
Pretty empty when we went around 6pm. Food cooked really quickly. I had the vegetable tempura with rice, and my son had duck namban soba. We both really enjoyed the food. Portions were large. Server didn't speak English, but not a problem because you order using a tablet.

Quick and Filling - Edit
We stopped in here for lunch when we needed a meal close to the station. The good news is that you don't get much closer to the station than this, so it's very convenient. Even though it was lunchtime, we didn't have to wait for a table. You place your order using a tablet, which you can easily switch to English and select the vegan tab. There were 4 vegan options.
Read moreOur party of three all chose the rice and tempura bowl. We also had this dish on a previous visit last year. This time we thought the tempura was more consistent - each piece was hot, and the batter was light and crispy. There was a good selection of vegetables, including mushrooms, broccoli, peppers, and pumpkin. The rice was nicely seasoned with a sauce.
Each dish comes with a side salad, which is not really what I would consider a salad, more of a cold noodle dish with a couple of bits of onion. We got soba noodles, which weren't as good as the udon we tried previously, but that's personal preference. The dressing wasn't as good as we remembered either, but maybe it was just an off day. The dish had a lovely texture from the crispy noodle bits.
All in all, this was tasty and convenient, but not especially memorable. Classic train station fare. Service was really great.

Dedicated vegan menu - Edit
Really easy to order on a little tablet at the table, and there is a tab for 'vegan' which gives 4 different options for meals. We got the rice and the udon, and they were both delicious! Food came out really quickly, and it's in a very convenient location in Kyoto station.

Wouldn‘t specifically come back - Edit
Forgot to take a picture. Came here because we were starving and the location is convenient after arriving with the train. Ordered the rice bowl with vegan meat and tofu & a side salad with udon. The rice bowl was disappointing, but the side salad was decent. There was also a weird smell when we entered the restaurant.

Tasty vegan options and super fast service - Edit
Restaurant in the shopping mall beneath Kyōto Station with the fastest service I ever encountered.
Read moreIf you are having problems finding it (like me 🤪) and are coming from the the central entrance or Shinkansen trains follow the signs to the Kintetsu underground line. Right to the entrance to the line is an escalator which leads to the restaurant street of the Kintetsu Shopping Mall where Kyoto Soba-Morihei is located.
Went there in the early evening and had to wait 10-15 minutes but it was worth it and the super fast service made it up anyways. Ordering is done via tablet which you can set to english. They have four vegan options and an extra point in the menu for them.
I chose the tempura bowl which comes with a soba noodle salat and pickles as side dish. It was very yummy.
Very good possibility to get some vegan food after a daytrip and returning to Kyōto Station.

Catered for all our family dietary requirements - Edit
It's very hard travelling with multiple dietary needs, including severe allergies. My daughter, who is vegan, very much enjoyed her vegan tempura and soba noodle dish. The waitress was very helpful in helping us with the selection available for our son with several severe food allergies. The food was great, and the staff was very personable. It was a very enjoyable evening
