Awesome vegan restaurant - Edit
A very cozy small restaurant with friendly staff and delicious food. I ordered the BBQ bowl which costed 1380¥. I would definitely recommend visiting this place!
Read moreAs some people already mentioned, the place is quite popular yet very small. A small queue will form outside the restaurant and it takes a little while for them to prepare food for everyone. I arrived shortly after the opening time and got a seat without queueing, but a small line of people had formed on the entrance by the time I left. So not the best place if you're dying of hunger on the spot.😄
Pros: Friendly staff, Cozy restaurant, Cheap
Cons: Popular with possibly long waiting times

Great small place - Edit
Great food, with it being smaller the menu matched. However, the dishes looked great and the bbq bowl of mock meat and rice I had was delicious. I also had a made in house fermented fruit soda drink, was great, and finished off with a soya chai. Staff were very friendly would definitely come back.

Super cute and delicious - Edit
Worth to go! (Best not at rush hour)We had a delicious pumpkin soup and the BBQ rice bowl had such amazing flavor!
Read moreGreat to go for a walk at the river afterwards towards Gion.
Also after all the plastic from the seven elevens and quick meals on the go it’s so refreshing that there are places that have at heart to try to go a better route❤️ Loved to be there and I hope there will be more places like that!
Pros: Delicious, Friendly , Happy to support

Unique, thoughtful slow food - Edit
Only two people are here running the business, and they have a sign at the front asking for patience and understanding. If you need fast food, this isn’t the place. Instead, come here when you have time to unwind and have a nice conversation or something to read.
Read moreOur food and drinks were wonderful and obviously crafted with care and love. There’s attention to detail in every nook and cranny in the space, and it certainly makes an impression. For those who dream of a future with less waste, where a couple can still have a dream and make it work, this is one restaurant you really shouldn’t miss.
Pros: Wholesome food, Adorable space, Great mission

Absolutely stunning food! - Edit
Finding an all vegan korean inspired restaurant in the heart of Kyoto made all my dreams come true! We stopped here on our way back from walking around Kiyomizu-dera and Gion District. We managed to get a seat right away as we were just before the usual dinner rush. I was blown away by the kbbq rice bowl. Will be back when I come back to Kyoto!

Gorgeous food - Edit
A lovely little place - hardly any seating so need to wait but it’s no problem. Food was amazing and they also had vegan snack bars and ready made curries which we bought so that we would have some good microwaveable vegan meals to take with us to the rural places in Japan where there aren’t many vegan options!

A must try when in Kyoto - Edit
As there was a long queue to get in in the evening, we decided to go another day, this time straight at the opening time, and we were lucky - it was much calmer and we could find a spot without any problem. We tried most of the menu and I can honestly say that the hype is justified, it was really that good, cakes included. We ended up buying some vegan jerky's from their shop, too. If you have your heart set to visit, definitely pick the opening time!
Read morePros: Great food, Lovely staff, Good prices
Cons: Reservation needed - or go very early

So delicious! - Edit
First time experiencing vegan Korean food in a restaurant, it was so delicious! My sister is not vegan, and she really enjoyed it too! Owners were so nice! They have a zero waste market inside. I think there needs to be more of this around the world!

Good, but didn’t like bean noodle - Edit
The restaurant was really busy when we got there so I recommend getting there right before they open. We got the bean noddles and the rice bowl with soy meat. I didn’t like the bean noodles, it was just sauce with noodles and nothing else. So I recommend you get the bowl, as it was more filling and more food for your money. The atmosphere is really cool and I really like that it is zero waste!

Pretty good - Edit
Recommend getting here right when they open, as there was a long line when we arrived. The atmosphere is very relaxing and the owners were very kind and attentive. We ordered the BBQ bowl and black bean noodles. The portions were a little small, and the bowl didn’t come with that much chicken. The flavors were nice but a little mild. I recommend this place if you’re looking for something simple and light.

Super good food - Edit
The food was amazing! We tried the BBQ bowl and bean noodles and they were both delicious. The soy chunks were very tasty and succulent. We also had a lemon cake and an orange and chocolate bundt cake for dessert and they were super moist and amazing. Their fermeted seasonal strawberry syrup was to die for; super fresh taste of strawberries🍓 We arrived at 5 pm on a Mondat and had to wait about 40 mins to be seated.

Busy but worth it! - Edit
Delightful cafe and low waste store. All the menu items are GREAT, it was busy so we had to join a line and wait, but the staff handled it really well and it was relatively seamless. There was a line all night so definitely expect to wait.

A lovely gem, not to miss! - Edit
This is one of the cutest and heartwarming vegan places we’ve come across in Kyoto! Definitely try as much on the menu as you can, the prices are so fair and every single option on there is made with love. The young couple who own the place are so friendly and you can really feel that they do what they love. You can also see it in how the little restaurant is decorated, everything has a personal touch. And they are so consistent in their approach; vegan food, zero waste, solar panels for electricity, etc etc
