Amazing Ramen - Edit
Would give 5 stars for the Veggie Miso Ramen if I could. It was so so yummy, definitely the best vegan ramen I’ve had. The place was so cute and nice. The service was great and our food came out SO fast. We were visiting Austin from out of state, and this was the first place we ate when we got here.

Satisfying veggie ramen options - Edit
This place is tiny (capacity 28) and so cute! If they aren't very busy, you can seat yourself. For a creamy ramen with a kick, choose the Veggie Miso. The Veggie ramen is lighter with lots of veggies and just as delicious. We also got the pickled plum Onigiri which is vegan and yummy. If you are craving ramen, this will hit the spot.

Vegan ramen! - Edit
If I can find vegan ramen, especially with vegan ramen noodles instead of some disappointing replacement like cabbage, I’m always happy. I ordered the veggie miso ramen spiced up with the kawai option. The extra spicy stuff comes on the side and is really spicy so be careful! Ramen was really delicious, as good as I’ve had in Japan. Tofu skins in the ramen had their logo burned into them, which was cool.

Vegan ramen! - Edit
As others mentioned, there are two vegan options here. The main thing I love about this place is that the ramen noodles are vegan (eggless tapioca noodles). I've been to other establishments where they have veggie broth, but they substitute rice noodles or udon for ramen noodles, which is a bit disappointing. It's a special treat to be able to get vegan ramen noodles in all their springy, texturally-awesome glory.

Great lunch option, cramped seating - Edit
I really enjoy this place, and it's a great place to have an intimate lunch with one or two coworkers. It's bench seating, so you're going to get up close with your neighbors. The menu is limited, but you'll get what you need. Vegans have 2 options, the miso and the vegetable, and both are awesome. I like to get the hot sauce, which is a little extra. Fantastic way to warm up on a chilly day downtown.

Two vegan options - Edit
We had both of the vegan options there, and I definitely preferred the one with all the veggies. The broth is better and I loved all the veggies. The broth is great too! The other is really plain, and I don't even think it had veggies-- if it did, very few, mostly just noodles and tofu. Cute, little restaurant. It was fun to sit at the bar.
Read moreDefinitely come in between meal time to get a seat. It is tiny and not too much seating. We went at 3pm, and it was full.
Pros: Hot and quick!
Cons: Small place-- fills up quickly!

warming ramen on a chilly day - Edit
I had the veggie miso. It came in a large bowl, beautifully presented with sprouts, fried tofu branded with the restaurant's logo, and other fancy stuff. It was delicious. Next time I'll try the other vegan option - it comes with more veggies.

Each entree cost $10.
Pros: location, hot soup served fast!, nice atmosphere, nice people
Cons: the panko mashed potatoes contain milk
