FLAVOR

They only have one vegan option here: vegan ramen. That said, the broth is so full of flavor and the spinach noodles are surprisingly good. I’d highly recommend it if you’re craving ramen.

The new recipe for their vegan ramen is tasty!

Their new vegan ramen is pretty good and creamy! The tofu was well seasoned, other toppings were yummy, and the spinach noodles were chewy and springy!

Pretty good

They changed their vegan ramen recipe over the last couple of years and it is now actually pretty good with great toppings. Love the fact that it’s spinach noodles by default. Only downside is that there is barely enough broth to cover the ingredients as-is.

Amazing vegan ramen!

Only 1 dedicated vegan option (ramen) but it was so good! Apparently they recently changed the recipe and now it says "vegan ramen" on the menu instead of the previous vegetarian as well as a different flavour but we loved it. Also had a melon matcha refresher and fresh peach lemonade which were great as well.
Highly recommend despite the 1 option!

Pros: Great ramen, Tasty drinks

Cons: Only 1 real food option

A couple vegan options

Meh. It wasn't bad, but the food was definitely lacking in flavor. A little pricey for a very basic bowl of ramen. There's a couple of vegan options. You can get the edamame as an app and the vegan ramen. I saw a review say "the bao buns are a must try for vegans"...they are not vegan.

I guess the shishito peppers were fine.

The vegan ramen is bland and honestly has a *dirty-dish water* tang. It’s kind of corn chowder flavored.

The shishito peppers were not charred but they were drenched in some tasty sauce that was probably not vegan, now that I think of it.

For some reason, they make you pay up-front and leave tip before you are served, which means I stiffed the poor server because I’m not going to be adding gratuity before I sit down…

The vibe is honestly trash. The playlist is: songs you were happy to have forgotten from public school dances, ca. 2001-2010.

Also, the Gluten Free noodle option is seasonal, just as the sensitivity or allergy is…

Tajima Ramen

Excellent vegan ramen at an excellent price ($10)! Wow, for real, this ramen was so good. The broth was creamy, salty, and well-flavored overall. The vegan ramen comes with green spinach noodles, which were so delicious and cooked perfectly. There was a perfect amount of veggies in the dish to make me feel healthy too. I wish I had more time in SD to stuff my face with this ramen!

Vegan ramen and friendly service

It was busy but they found a spot for us and got us drink orders really fast. The vegan ramen was the only vegan thing on the menu but it was really excellent. It’s a nice looking small place.

Pros: Vegan ramen was excellent, Very friendly service

Cons: Only 1 vegan main course, 2 vegan tempura appetizers
