• Vegan Ramen!!

This is another place I've wanted to try for awhile. I am surrounded by ramen places where I live but most do not have a vegan option. When I heard this place was 100% vegan I had to check it out! I went here after another hike in LA. I found my usual parking spot near the Grand Central Market and headed in to find Ramen Hood. It was located closer to the Broadway side of this indoor food court. I ordered the spicy ramen without the vegan egg. I was never a fan of the egg in my ramen so I figured why try to add one now? After grabbing a stool at the counter my soup came out immediately. Now this does not have conventional ramen flavor in my opinion, but that's not a bad thing. The one thing about my pre-vegan ramen was that they were soooo salty. This has good flavor without that salty taste. It was not as spicy as I would have like but again, it had good flavor. The mushrooms, nori, sprouts and noodles were a good combination with the broth and there was a good ratio of broth to noodles. Another problem with most ramen places are they serve LOTS of broth and not enough noodles and veggies to get through it all. That was not a problem here! Overall, I enjoyed it and will be back. Again, not your classic ramen flavor but not a bad thing at all!
