About

Omen serves traditional udon sets with seasonal vegetables, and reviewers praise the chewy noodles and mushroom broth used for the vegan udon. The English menu identifies vegan choices, including tempura; it’s a popular stop near Ginkaku-ji, so expect a queue at busy times and note that one reviewer found it a little pricey.
