Why did I create this list? The most frequent inquiry I get from people looking for ramen recommendations in Los Angeles is people looking for the best vegetarian ramen options. Below is a list of places that I’ve enjoyed. This list is in no particular order and organized by location. This list will evolve, so …
Another delicious vegan ramen option in Los Angeles is available at Ramen & Tsukement Tao. This bowl is hearty and healthy. You’ll have a smile on your face right down to the last slurp. This bowl will be included in a future blog post that is entirely devoted to highlighting all of the best vegan/vegetarian …
This vegetarian ramen option comes from an unusual suspect in the Los Angeles ramen scene. Killer Noodle is the king of bowls that leave your mouth on fire and completely numb. This particular bowl will deliver none of that, which is a good thing. The Vegetarian “Vege” Ramen is a soy and ginger base soup …
While I do have a favorite style, what I really love and appreciate about ramen is all of the variety that is available. The broths can be based off pork, chicken, soy, or salt bases. The noodles can be thin, thick, round, flat, straight, or curley. Toppings can be endless. This adds up to a …

At the end of this post, check out my first video with voice over commentary. Located @ 2012 Sawtelle Blvd Los Angeles, CA 90025 On the web @ http://www.menyamusashi-la.us I’ll get straight to …
I’ve been here several times. I’ve made more return visits here than any other location at this point. This place never disappoints. You can read about my other visits here, here, and here.
