Delicious Vegan Khao Soi

So nice to be able to try a vegan khao soi - one of those dishes I miss after going vegan. I see that other reviewers were able to sub tofu when eliminating the egg in the veggie ramen, unfortunately, we were not offered that option. Nonetheless, a great spot to have a bowl of vegan ramen or khao soi.

Truly 4 Stars

Update: 2 vegan options now!

There is a fun modern vibe at the restaurant and, even though it’s packed, it’s a great place to get dinner with someone.

Vegan options was good

No ramen, but they had a Vietnamese dish that was tasty AF.

Absolutely delicious ramen

When I want ramen, I go to Uncle. It has the perfect mix of hip vibes and delicious foods, and the staff is also impressively knowledgable. I'm always a little skeptical as a vegan in a ramen spot (there was recently a controversy in NYC about places calling their veg ramen vegan, only to later reveal that the noodles contained egg). However, the staff here has gone out of their way to alert me about which things are and aren't vegan. For example, the crowd-pleasing edamame appetizer contains honey, unfortunately.

About the ramen: Yes, the veg option typically contains an egg, but when you ask for it without an egg, they always ask, "Would you like tofu instead?" You can get the tofu either soft (steamed) or crispy (fried). I always ask for the crispy tofu and it is absolutely delicious. The veggie ramen comes with these really flavorful mushrooms that steal the show. And the best part: there's a special hot sauce on each table so you can make your ramen as spicy as you want!

Pros: Knowledgable staff, Very accommodating to vegans, Delicious fried tofu

Cons: Gets very busy and often has a long wait time, Very pricey, like most ramen places, Very noisy--difficult to have conversations
