NOT vegan friendly

Their vegan options are falsely advertised as vegan, and they are not accommodating when this is pointed out.

As I was ordering one of their vegan ramens, I asked the waiter if any of the ingredients were cooked on the same surface as their meats. The waiter said that anything fried, such as the garlic and the broccolini, are fried on the same surface as their meats. I then asked if they could remove the garlic and substitute the broccolini with steamed veggies instead. The waiter said that it’d be an extra charge of $3 (this is on top of an already expensive ramen dish of $18). I pushed back and explained that I am vegan and cannot eat the broccolini and garlic, and I simply want veggies that have not been cross-contaminated with meats. The waiter said that their manager does not consider this cross-contamination, and considers the dish as is to be fully vegan. We went back and forth like this for several minutes and they would not budge. I left out of frustration.

If you are vegan, vegetarian, halal, kosher… please do NOT eat their “vegan” ramens as advertised since some of their ingredients get cooked alongside their pork, chicken, etc.

Cons: False vegan advisement , Unwilling to accommodate, Very expensive

Lots of yummy vegan options.

Every single dish was so yum!
We ordered the vegan buns, Brussel sprouts, vegan rolls and vegan miso ramen. The food quantity was good too. The service was too quick, we got our food within 3-5 mins of our ordering despite of their busy dinner hours! The staff were nice, attentive and courteous. My husband remarked that the food was impeccable. The prices were reasonable too. This is a place worth visiting again and again.

Nice Vegan Options

A few years back we were looking for late night vegan food after a show at the Terragram Ballroom and found the LA Rakkan Ramen but we just realized this vegan friendly restaurant opened a Long Beach location! Once again, we were looking for some late night plant based goodness and found this spot just a few miles from home. We got it to-go so I can't speak to the dine-in experience, but the take-out was great. It was nice that they served the broths in separate bowls from the noodles/toppings to prevent mushiness. We ordered the Vegan Garnet and the Vegan Quartz, both of which were yummy and filling! The menu had quite a few starters listed as being vegan, as well, so we hope to try some of those on future trips.

Pretty good!

Loved the vegan gyoza. I wish I got the spicier vegan ramen but it was still good. I added lemon and some of the gyoza dipping sauce.. all in all I would def be back😄good stuff and many options including a vegan steamed bun, vegan roll, etc.

Pros: Good amount of options, Yummy gyoza

Cons: Not fully vegan

Most veg options in Belmont Shore

My favorites
* Spicy Garnett - replace pork to UMAMI shiitake mushrooms for a great vegetarian dish. Vegan variant without eggs also available.
* Avocado Tofu bowl
* Vegan buns
