good food and good vibes - Edit
i love the concept of zero waste and the food was so good! i also tried the scone and it was so delicious and i was transferred into chocolate heaven (they warmed it up and it may look dry and like a block of brown beton on the pic, it was perfect!!) the seasoning of the soy meat was so good i wish i had more than 3 pieces of it in my bowl ahhhhhh definitely will come back here!! edit: came back today to try other dishes and the kimbap is my favourite! if you are hungry and you are two people it’s the perfect fish to share and order another dish as well😄

so so good!!! - Edit
the korean bbq bowl is delicious, you can tell thought has gone into it and the whole dish is flavoured so well. The place has a nice atmosphere and cute interior design, the staff are friendly too. I tried one of their scones which was also nice and they heat it up for you. very reasonably priced too. Must go if you’re in Kyoto.

Amazing vegan Korean bbq and ambiance! - Edit
This place was such an exciting find! This delicious restaurant was only a 3 minute walk from Hotel Tavinos. The owners are so kind, friendly, and committed to cultivating a healthier, more sustainable planet. Plus they are amazing cooks - the food was delicious!! I got the vegan Korean bbq bowl and it was both affordable and scrumptious! There is also a little zero waste section with bulk items and upcycled goods. Definitely go here if you are vegan in Kyoto, care about sustainability, or just want some delicious food! A

Beautiful all vegan cafe zero waste cafe in the heart of Kyoto. Very homely, the owners were lovely and I liked the recycled paper menus and display of zero waste ingredients. There was no gluten free option but they were accomodating and were able to adapt the Gimbap to be gf.

Sooo lovely - Edit
We had such a lovely meal here! I felt awful because I was feeling a bit sick and couldn't finish the food, but my friend did and loved it. I did love it too and on any other day would have finished. The vibe is so nice and so are the people, one lovely girl spoke to us in fluent English. Highly recommend!

Superb food and super nice hosts - Edit
It is quite difficult to find a vegan restaurant that is still open after 6pm in Kyoto. That's exactly why we found tu casa and it was perfect. Super tasty food (Korean) at a good price and also the owners were super nice and chatted with us. If we are in Kyoto again we will definitely come back. Thank you for such a great evening!
