Nishiki Market Alley by MOON and BACK — Restaurant in Kyoto

As a vegetarian, I have quite a hard time finding something to eat in Japan. Nishiki Market Alley by Moon and Back was the first restaurant in Japan where I could really get something to eat. And not somehow. I have never eaten such delicious ramen as there. Each of my family found something to eat and was totally thrilled with the result. My tip to all who are looking for something vegan / vegetarian or gluten-free to eat - definitely go there.

Unfortunately, the great restaurant is quite hidden and therefore not easy to find when walking normally. It is located on the third floor and can be reached both by a staircase and by an elevator. Thus possible for everyone.

I very much hope that the restaurant gets the attention it deserves and that future visitors can enjoy the warmth of the waiters and...

Way to expensive for what you get. The food was okai but definitely not worth the price compared to other places. The sushi is overpriced and the extra toppings for the ramen as well.

For paying with credit card, an extra fee of 3% will be charged on top by the restaurant, which I haven’t experienced so far in Japan.

We had 2 ramen, 2 water with lemon and one tuna nigiri (1300 yen).

Overall not a recommendation and the price is not worth what you get. I recommend the staff to work on their...

This place's aesthetic is ✨off the charts!✨ Everything in this restaurant will catch your eye and will make you want to sit down and take in the surroundings for a while.

It's tourist friendly, they play a lot of well known English language music and our server Emma spoke English too. Emma was awesome, she was super kind and attentive and even offered to take our picture if we wanted it. 5 stars just for her effort alone!

I had the steamed vegan dumplings and my girlfriend had the Japanese curry ramen, both our meals were hot, tasty, and served promptly. 5/5! I'll definitely try coming back here before...
