Best Ramen I ever tryed

Hands down this is the best Ramen I've ever tryed! If you happen to be in L.A. do your self a favor and get one of these. All of their menu is 100% plan based.

An explosion of flavour

They have a great menu and the food gets ready super fast. It's one of LA's best options for vegan Lamen.

Amazing vegan ramen, sunflower seed broth♡

We did not go to the LA location, but the pop up in NYC in 2019. The broth from the sunflower seeds were so rich, umami, and had a nice mouth feel. I have tried making sunflower seed broths at home and not quite the same. If in LA, I will def add Ramen Hood as a place to go.

Delicious original vegan ramen

I ate this so fast it was soo good I should’ve savored it because of how good it was but I couldn’t control myself. I got it to-go so the photo doesn’t do it justice but it looked so beautiful

The best vegan ramen- ever!

The best vegan ramen- ever! Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Also, the avocado toast is incredible because it’s not bread toast it’s crispy rice as toast and the sauce on it is to die for and you’ll just have to try it to see what I mean.

Best Ramen ever

Exceptional sunflower seed broth, the pork katsu was amazing, a good amount of veggies in a large ramen bowl. The mushroom topping was also brilliant. The food was quite filling at a very reasonable price

Solidly Tasty Ramen

I thought the basic ramen option was pretty great. Fun environment in the market. The vegan egg was less exciting than I thought it would be though.

Finally, vegan ramen, and it is so yummy! Tasted like a warm bowl of love!
It was my first time visiting and the staff was kind and friendly. They took the time to explain the menu, and they recommended some of their menu favorites.

Pros: All vegan , Friendly service

Avocado toast

I didn't try the ramen, just stopped by for a quick lunch. I ordered the avocado toast because someone told me it was very tasty - indeed it was, but the kitchen is not so clean, so I'll give this experence only 3 stars.

I love the Omni pork over cold sesame noodles

Located in Grand Central Market in DTLA, this is my favorite spot to dine before shows! The Omni pork over cold sesame noodles is my favorite

Garlic Ramen!!!

I’ve been here many times. Keep coming back for the garlic ramen, which is delicious. It has the right amount of spice and roasted garlic. ❤️🧄

Pros: The noodles, Avocado toast

Cons: Can be too salty

Yummy Sunflower Broth

Super delicious ramen — I had the Omnipork Luncheon Ramen. Perfect combinations of textures and tastes, not to mention the amazing sunflower broth. Definitely one of my favorite V places I’ve been too. The ‘egg’ is ok, not too bad, but mostly just a novelty (though definitely nothing wrong with that :))

Pros: All Vegan, Great Seating Area

I think this is the only all-vegan restaurant at Grand Central Market, and it's great ramen.

Good ramen

Tasty. It’s one of few options in Grand Central Market so I appreciate having this option. I have had tastier ramen at other locations and that’s the only critique I’ll make.

Delightful

Definitely one of the best ramen i‘ve ever had. The vegan egg is $ 2 extra and small but i recommend trying it.

Top-notch ramen

Delicious “pork” ramen bowl. Excellent noodles and delicious garlic-y broth. The mushrooms they use here are the best! Personally I’m not totally convinced by the Omnipork luncheon meat but it worked just fine in the dish here. I highly recommend this place when in DTLA. It’s tucked away towards the front of Grand Central Market near the ridiculous line for the donuts. Skip that - this is better!

Vegan ramen!!!

The noodles and veggies are great.

The egg, it's funny to see it can be done, but doesn't add much to the plate...

Unique Veg Ramen

An all-veg ramen shop with veg eggs and pork? Count me in! We ordered the spicy “pork” katsu garlic ramen with a veg egg, and it was tasty. The ramen itself had a nice balance between spice and flavor. The king oyster mushrooms were my favorite, despite their humble appearance. The veg egg was unique but tasty. The food came out very fast as well.

The Grand Central Market was a fun place to visit, and having an all-veg option was nice. It was not the best veg ramen, but it was an excellent lunch.
