Hot ramen on a chilly night - Edit
I almost skipped this due to the previous underwhelming review but decided to give it a chance. I ordered the smoked mushroom hazelnut ramen which was the only thing labeled vegan on the menu and was very satisfied. It had a little bit of spice to it so it may not be suitable for people who don't like spicy food, but I liked it a lot. It was perfect for a cold night in Bend.

Rotating ramens? Meh - Edit
I think the vegan ramens are seasonal/rotating? Anyway, the hazelnut one was very boring and flavorless. Majorly disappointed.

Pros: Shitake skewers
Cons: Boring broth

Delicious vegan ramen! - Edit
The toppings were delicious, broth was good too. The mushrooms were my favorite part. It's clearly labeled on the menu as vegan. I only ordered the ramen, not sure about any other veg items.

Fantastic broth - Edit
Not a ton of vegan options, but after not having had ramen in a couple years this totally revived my love for ramen. Also enjoyed the spicy pickled veggies.

Menu changed?? - Edit
I think something changed between 2022 and 2023 ? This last visit, nothing was clearly marked as vegan. The butternut squash ramen was the main option, and we all 3 found it a bit salty and overly thick, almost like a chowder. The shiitake skewers were flavorful though.

Fabulous and unique - Edit
I loved the smoked shiitake cashew ramen and will try to recreate the broth at home. Very flavorful with that touch of heat in the back of the throat. Fresh and delicious! Friendly team with fast service.

Delicious Japanese vegan options - Edit
Walked in, asked what they offered that was vegan. Friendly worker suggested (1)smoked shiitake cashew vegan Ramen, (2)Miyagi-Don rice bowl with spicy tofu & roasted tomatoes & miyagi tare, (3)special: saucy tempura shishito peppers with pickled radishes. All three were very good, especially the veggie-filled ramen (see menu pic). They also offered shiitake yakitori skewers that we did not try. Highly recommend...

Wow wow wow! So good! - Edit
My partner and I shared the Blue Oyster Mushroom appetizer, maitake Bao buns and vegan ramen. Just wow so packed full of flavor, food delivery was fast and well worth it. Highly recommend this place, it's small and high demand so be prepared for a wait!

Delicious Vegan Ramen (if you don't get the tofu fried) - Edit
Delicious, creamy (cashew), and mushroomy ramen broth with excellent noodles and veggies, but be sure to ask for the tofu to NOT be fried because it's made on shared equipment with meat; you can ask for raw tofu instead, if you're into that :)
Read morePros: Great Ramen
Cons: Only ONE truly vegan option on the menu

Tasty Vegan Ramen - Edit
We’ve been craving Ramen, but the summer has been very warm in Bend. This one day the clouds came over and sprinkled a little refreshing rain - which made it a great day to try out Miyagi Ramen. The restaurant was packed, but we were able to get a table within 15 minutes. We ordered a daily special cabbage salad that was beautifully presented and delicious. The Vegan Ramen is so tasty - the broth has so much depth of flavor, the noodles had just the right chew, the multiple toppings were fresh and the tofu a bit spicy and delicious!!! We will definitely be back!
Read morePros: Vegan options marked on the menu, Great customer service
Cons: Only a few vegan items

Read moreSuch delicious vegan Ramen here!! The broth had amazing taste and depth. The veg toppings and tofu were perfection--anyone would enjoy this!!

Delicious and filling - Edit
I’ve eaten here about a half dozen times it opened. The ramen is top notch, comparable to what I’ve had in major PNE cities. There’s just the one ramen open but that’s par for the course. The portion sizes have decreased slightly over time, but it’s at a good level now - in the beginning I was consistently stuffed. Combines nicely with other nearby beer options.
Read morePros: Very rich broth, Good portion size
Cons: Just one option

It'll cashew off guard - Edit
The day was sunny but the wind was gusting with gale force. We took shelter in the local ramen restaurant. We saw they have a vegan shitakke mushroom cashew ramen. Yum. We ordered it.
Read moreTime passed and the ramen came out. The presentation was as if on top Chef. Then we started eating. Honestly, the ramen was solid. It wasn't great it wasn't bad. The broth was the best part, the noodles were meh, the mushroom had a funky vinegar taste, but the tofu was de-lish.
Would come again because only ramen spot in Bend that I know of.
Pros: A vegan option, Free green tea
Cons: Expensive

Smoked shiitake cashew - Edit
They have a ramen for vegans and it’s made with smoked shiitake mushrooms, tofu and a yummy cashew base. Mm mm mm so dang good. Also, the steamed mushroom buns are really good too minus the mayo. The service is always lovely there, nice folks.
