Good ramen

I tried the two vegan ramen : beaning ramen (very good) and the zesty ramen (a bit too spicy for me). The veggies gyōza are not bad but could be more tasty. English menu.

Amazing vegan ramen

I had the zesty vegan ramen, and it should be noted that by "zesty", they mean "hot enough to burn your insides" - I had to pick out most of the chillis before eating it! But it was so, so tasty - the soup has a soya cream base, so it's really rich and satisfying. You can also choose gluten-free noodles, and the lovely staff member who served us made a point of checking that we didn't have any allergies before taking our order to the kitchen, so people with food allergies/sensitivities can feel very reassured here.

Pros: Cheap, Delicious

Fantastic Vegan Rahmen

Engine Rahmen is a lovely little restaurant with authentic food and very friendly staff. The veggie Rahmen was fantastic and so tasty. All the food was cooked fresh to order and delivered promptly.

Pros: The veggie options are superbly tasty , Best Veggie Rahmen I had eaten in Japan, Great location and lovely, friendly staff.

Cons: They should offer more veggie options

Best vegan ramen!!

Had the beaning vegan ramen. Hands down the best vegan ramen I’ve had ever. The soup was creamy and so flavoursome, I couldn’t get enough. The noodles were delicious too. Definitely going back

Pros: delicious, good service

Cons: a little bit expensive

Amazing Vegan Ramen!

I had the zesty version of this vegan ramen which has a thick soup and sancho (locally famous pepper) spice to it. The plain version is equally good. This is the best vegan ramen I’ve had in any country and for me is better than Ippudo London. The vegan dumplings are also nice for dipping in the sauce. This is definitely a hearty meal. Easy ordering through English vending machine. Insert your money, choose your options, get your tickets & change. Ice tea & water complimentary. Beer & sake also available.

Pros: Full hearty meal, Great choice if traveling with non vegetarians

Tasty ramen, easy ordering and a great menu... but a western dining experience

The food is fantastic, the menu is in English, the staff friendly... but I could be sitting in any English speaking country. So if you want great food with vegan and vegetarian options this place is perfect, but if you want a Japanese atmosphere this isn’t the place.

Best vegan ramen of the holiday

I'm no ramen connoisseur, but I've tried quite a few vegan ramen dishes over the last two weeks in Japan.

The zesty vegan ramen was creamy, tasty and with the perfect amount of spice. The vegetable gyozas were a little unusual, but tasty.

The staff were incredibly friendly. Overall, a wonderful experience!

Pros: Delicious vegan ramen, Lovely staff

Very good vegan ramen

I had the spicy vegan ramen - labelled ‘zesty vegan’ and it was delicious. Quite spicy, but I enjoyed that aspect. Vegan dumplings are not as good as I was expecting. Waitress very nice

Good ramen

When we walked in, waitress was very friendly and told us they had vegan options and gave us a menu to have a look. Orders are made via vending machine and you give the ticket to the staff. Vegan is clearly marked. Had a bean based ramen and it was very tasty. Nice and affordable.

Pros: Value for money, Tasty ramen, Friendly staff

Loooved the ramen and dumplings. Vegan options are clearly marked and the waitress was so lovely and pointed them out without us even asking.

Excellent ramen!

One the best ramen dishes I have had in Japan! We asked the staff to make one of the dishes less spicy and they were more than willing!

Pros: 2 vegan options, Willing to alter dishes to taste.

"Yesty ramen" hit the spicy spot

Two vegan ramen options on the menu. Nice balance of flavors with way more to it than some noodles in a broth. Spicy one packs a punch. Staff friendly and speak English.
