This place is a gem - Edit
Dude, seriously, this place is freaking amazing, the mushrooms in the ramen are beyond amazing, my friend thought they were fake meat! Every ingredient is a explosion of glamour in your mouth, I try to visit every time I’m in LA. It’s absolutely delicious. Fave dishes: traditional Ramen, Spicy and Garlic, the avocado toast is a dream.
Read morePros: Best ramen broth in the USA, I’m serious , The avocado toast is incredible , Unpretentious and centrally locates in DTLA
Cons: There’s always a line

Really good! The spicy ramen is not actually spicy at all but it’s still definitely the best vegan ramen I’ve had in the US. And the vegan egg is cute too 🍳 Worth trying!

Must-Have - Edit
The best vegan meal I have ever had. The garlic ramen is to die for. You can never go wrong with Ramen Hood. Even when the noodles are undercooked it is still the best meal. The broth is just delicious. The price is reasonable and extra toppings are about $1-2 extra. I recommend it if ever in LA.
Read morePros: Broth, Price
Cons: Small seating area

Simple, but tasty ramen. Not sure I’d go back at these prices for a simple noodle dish though!

Tasty ramen in a cool spot - Edit
This is a counter service vegan ramen shop downtown inside Grand Central Market. Grand Central Market is a really cool, but bustling, market with lots of awesome food vendors and a local craft/artisan sellers market in the sub level.

I tried the OG ramen with an egg (vegan). The broth was tasty with a hint of spice. The noodles had a great texture, but were a little thicker than what is served at other ramen restaurants, which is not bad at all, just different. The egg was a nice addition to the bowl, but it’s not an absolute must have, in my opinion anyway, though I did enjoy it and am glad it’s available. The mushrooms were wonderful and had a great meaty texture and flavor.
All in all, it’s a great and yummy experience.
Pros: All vegan, Generous portions , Reasonably priced, and quick service
Cons: Downtown parking , Porta potty bathrooms

Not good ramen, dissappointing - Edit
Im sorry, i just cant get on board with this place. I went into it excited because its a full vegan menu, but the ramen was so inauthentic, not even the noodles felt right, they felt more on par with texture of thick spaghetti. The vegan egg was overall tasteless and unmemorable as well, i dont get the point of it other than to make people feel like they are eating egg. I will say, the broth was okay, and i like that they went for sunflower seed broth, but overall, the ramen here just isnt on par with other places ive been to in LA. On top of that, when i went, service was so slow, it took about 45 minutes to get our food. If youre visiting LA, i would skip the crowds at grand central market and go to one of the handful of places in Little Tokyo that have vegan ramen instead.

A good spot for lunch while in downtown LA - Edit
In the middle of the Grand Central Market, a great option for a vegan lunch: I had the spicy ramen, which was great. Plus it is relatively inexpensive. A good spot!

Delicious! Best ramen ever. Just perfect. So great. The broth is spectacular and the mushrooms are oven-roasted or something, not rubbery-boiled. There are crispy threads of chili pepper on top!
