Vegan ramen options

Not the best vegan ramen I’ve had but still a fine dinner. Menu has clearly labeled vegetarian options, have to ask for vegan. I got the vegetarian miso ramen without an egg which had Ithaca tofu and shiitake mushrooms. Friendly staff!

Pros: A few vegan options, Local ingredients, Very reasonably priced

Many items can be made vegan if you ask server

I ordered the tofu stir fry (made with organic tofu). The tofu was delicious and a bit spicy, but the stir-fry didn't contain as many veggies as I had hoped. Portion sizes were generous enough that I will be able to get another meal out of the tofu and rice by adding some veggies. My dish came with a salad lightly dressed with a savory, slightly sweet peanut sauce.

Food can be made more or less spicy, according to your preference.

The server was kind and able to answer my questions. She pointed out that the ramen noodles contain egg, but the rice and yam noodle options are vegan. Most vegetarian options are labeled, but you have to ask for no egg and substitute the noodles for the ramen.

Pros: Servers are kind and accommodating, Food is delicious and served promptly, Decor is cool, with manga-style artwork on walls

Cons: Tofu-veggie stir fry contains barely any veggies, You have to ask to omit egg for ramen, Vegan options could be more clearly labeled

Pretty good, ramen was great

I had the vegetarian miso ramen and it came out steaming hot and delicious. I added some chili oil to give it more flavor. The shiitake mushroom buns were definitely not my thing. If you LOVE shiitake mushrooms, then you will like this… but if you’re not, maybe pass on it. The vegetarian sushi roll was okay. I was really looking forward to the avocado on the sushi roll and when it was served, the avo was missing. If they would have told me there were out of avo, I wouldn’t have ordered it. I would only come back here for the ramen and seaweed salad.

Pros: Delicious vegetarian miso ramen, Seaweed salad was great

Cons: They didn’t have two of the three dessert options, Veggie sushi roll missing avocado

Fresh and flavorful

We ordered veggie dumplings, tofu bibimbap and yam ramen noodles with tofu in veggie broth. The two main dishes were big enough to share and had fresh crunchy veggie toppings, carrots, lettuce, marinated daikon, bean sprouts, cucumber and seaweed.
We were pleasantly surprised by the rich flavor-filled veggie broth—not salty or watery as many restaurant vegan broths can be. Prices were reasonable and service was friendly and super quick . We asked for ‘no egg’ in the main dishes and that was fine.

The dining area is small and we ordered for takeout, waiting outside for our order. The server came out with everything securely packed for our trip home.
Note: the location is not in the downtown central business district but further along the Main Street (State Street).

best ramen i’ve had

very delicious ramen place with multiple vegetarian options. i got the shiitake mushroom ramen (without egg). the service was VERY fast. it was quite loud, but it was just one large party; it was much better once they left—not the restaurant’s fault. will definitely come again!

Pros: multiple vegan & vegetarian options, fair prices, FAST service

Cons: somewhat noisy during peak hours

Delicious!

I had the vegetable miso ramen, it was delicious! The ramen comes with an egg on top, but it is super easy to ask for the egg to be left off. Amazing noodles and other dishes. I would love to come back and enjoy the ramen on a cold day.
