Pretty good ramen

The hippie ramen is the only vegan ramen on the menu. You have to order on a tablet before they seat you, but the food came out pretty quickly after that (on a Sunday night - other reviewers have noted service is slower during peak hours/days).

The hippie ramen was solid and comes with thin noodles, a savory broth, spinach, and tofu. You have several options to add additional vegetables for extra $$. The overall flavor was good, but nothing mind blowing. IMO the best vegan ramen is still redwhite in studio city, but this is a solid choice in WeHo.

Cons: Only one vegan option, Thinner noodles (personal preference)

Awesome Spot

Open late, great ramen. Some of the best in LA. The hippie option is vegan and delicious. This is my go to spot for late night eats in this area. Open until 3am weekends and 1am weeknights. I don’t love that you have to order on a tablet even when you dine in, but the service is super fast. Highly recommend

very good

hippie ramen was very quality, and they did not half ass the tofu. they're striving for that "damn that's good" quality that a lot of (even cheap) ramen places in japan have but most US places lack. i don't think i can eat ramen like that in japan anymore, but the hippie ramen was pretty close. also the takeout bags are super cute. i'll be back.

Super good

The standout element of this ramen was the broth. So incredibly flavourful. I like a thicker noodle but I’d come back for the broth.

Pros: Broth is excellent, Overall very delicious

Cons: Long wait, Few vegan options

Hippie Ramen is the best ramen I've ever had

The first time I had the Hippie Ramen, I couldn't believe how flavorful the broth was! Now, every time I have it, I order extra broth. Hands down my favorite vegan ramen!!

Best Ramen Mid- City

The Hippie Ramen is the best ramen in the mid-city. Perfect Noodles, amazing broth! It does get packed and it’s a bit more expensive than other places but you get what you pay for.. the ramen is the bomb!!!

Pros: best ramen , best broth

Cons: crowded, parking

Delicious!

The Hippie Ramen is the best. My husband isn't vegan like me, but still orders it every time. The line can be long but it is worth it.

Long wait, expensive for what it is

Maybe 6pm ish on a Saturday night isn't the time to try this place, and maybe all food in this area is overpriced. Stood in line for over an hour. While standing in line (once the line gets into the restaurant) you put your order in via an i-pad - foolishly thought this would mean the food would be ready by the time we were seated - but took another 30 minutes or so. Line of food delivery people / take-away pick up line must have put extra pressure on the kitchen.
Two vegan ramen options, and seaweed / sesame seeds / garlic on the table for you to add as needed.
Food was fine, but nothing really special. Not really worth the price ($12 or so) or the wait. No alcohol served.

Cons: Wait time, price
