Marcus S

Wow wow wow. Amazing. A must visit. Came with our friends who are non GF and they loved the normal offering. The GF option of rice noodles was so delicious. Very attentive service. Thank you.

Mel Griffin

Amazing. We ordered two savory and two sweet crepes and their matcha lattes. Everything was delicious and the staff is so friendly. The place is small so go early for seats.

Anne Namuth

The whole place is gluten free. Between 3 and 5 pm they only serve dessert and drinks. The parfait is phenomenal.

Lydia C.

Amazing spot for dietaries. They have 2 vegan Ramen and offer gluten-free noodles and dishes. The vegan gluten-free dumplings we tried were delicious and their signature Ramen, too. They also serve gluten-free beer. Totally recommended, we will be back.

Super authentic soba noodle experience. The noodles are all buckwheat only. Offers a GF dipping sauce on request

My favorite restaurant my whole trip to Japan. So accommodating. The freshest sushi. Family owned restaurant

Emma Lamomd

Loved this place!! Everything is gluten free (even the macaroni) however the okonomiyaki was certainly the highlight. It was great to not have to worry about cross contamination - cannot recommend it enough

Yuli Ong

We loved our lunch at Loco Chicken. There were gluten and dairy free options and the food was super tasty. We'll definitely be back!

Mechi Barrón

Café planet is a gluten free paradise in Kyoto. Food is very good. I really enjoyed their cookies. The only bad thing is that they are only cash..

Freddy Acevedo

Excellent restaurant with many vegan and gluten-free options. Specialty in Kyoto style Ramen. Excellent and highly recommended.

Liliane Lapointe

Very good gluten free crepes ! Had the ham with onions : so yummy!

Corinna Finney

Very tasty food with gluten free options. The service is slower than the typical ramen-style restaurants where they get you in and out quickly but that didn't bother us.

Michael Cassimaty

Intimate dining with delicious food! The Green Curry and french fries went together great. Recommend it as a coeliac!

Encarni Casado

It is the first place where we can eat gluten-free ramen, it has been a great joy since my friend is gluten intolerant. We have enjoyed eating and they are also charming.

Connor O'Leary

Best sushi we've had in Japan, and nice to have the rice gluten free.

Tina Chu

The best vegan and gluten free desserts I’ve ever tried (and I’m from LA where we’re spoiled with allergen friendly options)! The hojicha cake was my favorite; the matcha cake and ice cream sandwich were fantastic as well. The soy milk tea lattes were a delightful pairing.

Fabio

Great place, super kind and gluten-free food!!! Both savory and sweet are excellent

Soba (soba) & udon (udon) shop information Juwari Soba Specialty Store 10 Soba Kyoto Miyukicho Branch (341-7 Daimonji-cho, Miyukicho-dori Oikeshita-ru, Nakagyo-ku, Kyoto City) I visited with my wife for lunch on Wednesday, April 30, 2025🥢 This is a soba restaurant based on the concept of 100% soba noodles that can be eaten for just one coin.We want you to enjoy delicious 100% soba noodles made with domestic buckwheat flour.The tempura is also made with gluten-free buckwheat flour instead of wheat flour. Today I ordered the new style cold mixed soba Genovese (990 yen), maitake tempura, and red ginger onion kakiage 😀 My wife ordered zaru soba (500 yen), maitake mushroom tempura, and chikuwa tempura 😉 However, we like 100% soba and have eaten 100% soba from various places, but the flavor and texture of 100% soba did not feel like 100% soba. Also, the tempura and kakiage were not good enough🥴 The new style cold mixed soba Genovese was delicious, but that's about it😡 There was sobayu too••••••••••••••🤤 But at this price, it can't be helped. Thank you for the meal🙏

Damian Ruchti

very good gluten free food! almost everything possible without gluten.

Seth M

Fantastic service and a great setting. Definitely worth the price tag. I also have a gluten intolerance and the restaurant was very accommodating

pietro zani

the place is 100% gluten free and it's really good. I advise you to take the mochi and the cakes! amazing!

Costanza Volpini

A small and very local place where you can cook your own Okonomiyaki on a griddle (one per table). For an additional fee, you can order a gluten-free Okonomiyaki. The prices are very reasonable.

Arnau Roig

Spectacular Curry place, they only have a gluten-free option that is delicious and the value for money is spectacular, 2 plates of rice with curry and two glasses of Coca-Cola for less than €9

Tully Heinrich

Loveed and really want to go back and try the other ramen! Gluten Free noodles were amazing too really creamy broth and has such a cute traditional vibe with tatami mats and a little path, can feel the passion for healing healthy foods here 💌

Pedro Madrid

The best grilled kobe and wagyu meat, spectacular! I went twice and it was quite an experience. Go with gluten-free soy as they don't have it

Drew Beamer

One of the best experiences I've had ever having a meal across the world! Tucked away in a little alley in Kyoto I was reading on google this place had some amazing Udon along with amazing surface which did not disappoint! It may look closed because its tucked away but it is not don't worry! We got the venison soba which Is 100% buckwheat and gluten free! The owner explained all of this through one of the best pocket translators I've ever seen! Follow his instructions to eat it in the best way possible so it compliments your palate! After we had the amazing venison Soba he told us to leave some broth, so he could make a porridge which was even better! The whole meal was DELICIOUS! It was quiet which added to ambiance and made it a very personal experience. The owner/chef is one of the best, and most memorable people we came across during our 2 week trip in Japan. The fact he takes the time to explain how to eat the amazing dish properly , and puts his love into it makes a huge difference. Such a kind man! I hope to visit this place again when we inevitably visit japan again someday 🙌🏽.

Patricia Bonet

Very good food, quiet and comfortable place. There are vegan and vegetarian options, but also a meat option and a fish option. Gluten-free food also specified on the menu. They have vegetable drinks for coffee. Highly recommended.

Mark S.

Tremendously good egg sandwiches. Also gluten free and vegan options, and the owner speaks good english.

Charles Silva

A very relaxing place with several gluten free options ideal for people with celiac disease If you are celiac you will enjoy it, especially the chocolate cake seemed spectacular, very tasty. They only accept cash payments. They speak English, at least the basics to order.

mike

A cute little vegan cafe that has gluten free options as-well. The menu is small but it is all delicious.

Tatiana

Beautiful place. They have gluten-free options, and the food is delicious.

DaRiddaa

Very delicous Curry and the salad with housedressing ist fantastic. Very friendly treatment with my glutenintolerance.

Ine

Excellent price-quality ratio. Nice choice of gluten-free and vegetarian dishes. Ultimately opted for a curry. Very thoughtfully, a large paper bib was ready. There were 6 jars of spices on the table that could give the dish extra flavor. Enjoyed lunch here.

tomato momoiro

Afternoon tea was full, so I made a reservation here for lunch. It is also gluten-free and caffeine-free, so you can choose according to your mood. This time, I had a light lunch as I had enjoyed the traditional Japanese cuisine in the morning, but next time I would like to stay at the Park Hyatt and enjoy the food at a more leisurely pace, so I made a reservation.

Nikenchaya has been here at the side entrance to Yasaka Shrine for almost 500 years. Today the storehouse is a beautifully lit cafe. I had the Oshiruko, a red bean soup with fresh Kyoto gluten and mochi balls, but what’s famous here is the Dengaku Tofu, tofu covered in their special peppery sauce.

Delicious gluten-free Israeli food in Kyoto! The lunch C-Plate of falafels, rice and salad was soooo tasty! Great for coeliacs and nut allergies too.

Bill Smeeth

One of the most amazing experiences in Kyoto, it was fun but not demanding and the food was delicious. The staff were amazing and accommodating, I would highly reccomend. Me being Gluten Free I would reccomend, I'm not coeliac, but we did notice everything was cooked separately and they made a big effort to make sure I wouldn't get the wrong order. 10/10 No Ramen, No Life

Michi T

It is located near Shijo Street, so super convenient to include this restaurant to the travel itinerary. The venue gets crowded very quickly, so it would be better visit early. They seem to have gluten-free options as well, but I have not checked with the staff directly yet.
