My husband likes eating vegan ramen. I don't share his enthusiasm for vegan ramen but found myself at Ramen Hood in Grand Central Market. A lot of vegan ramen suffer from flavorless broth, but Ramen Hood does a nice job of making broths that have more to offer. My husband got his fave the Spicy Ramen. I will admit that the sunflower seed broth was plenty flavorful, considering that it did not have meat. It was a hot day so I ordered the Cold Smokey Ramen. While it was refreshing, I feel like it could have used another vegetable along to with the box choy and mushrooms, as it seemed like I was eating a lot of ramen with bean sprouts. After lunch, I didn't have that bloated feeling that I sometimes get after eating ramen. I was still kind of hungry though, and picked up a few decidedly non-vegan treats afterwards. If you're a vegan, you will LOVE Ramen Hood! read more

My husband & I got the spicy Katsu vegan ramen & it was delicious! I've never had a vegan ramen that tasted this good. Service was prompt although seating is limited during weekends (as expected). They also do not allow you to sit at their bar if you order even one item that is not on their menu. Overall; loved the food & experience. Glad I found my regular vegan ramen spot in LA! read more

I was craving for ramen and this place is closest to me. Okay I had to admit I did not know it's a vegan restaurant. Hahaa! It's my first time trying vegan food. Anyways, the price was decent-ish. But the broth was so salty to me, first couple sips tasted decent but it kept having the beans after taste which makes it tasted very heavy and did not want to eat the whole thing. The spam and mushroom tasted pretty good.but other than that I just think it's okay. read more

This is an entirely vegan restaurant I ordered the Tuna Crisps and a Spicy Ramen The crisps were good, it has an interesting texture to it, kinda like a purée. Overall it wasn't too bad but I'd probably try something else next time. The Spicy ramen was pretty good, the broth had good flavor, the noodles seemed a little too mushy for me but weren't bad either. The Mushrooms were a good size and went well with the broth. Overall, if you're vegan it's definitely a solid option, but I'd pass on this if you are able to eat Normal ramen The ambiance is really casual, there's plenty of searing for this restaurant which is a big plus, and staff are helpful with the menu. read more

Opens at 11AM on Sunday. Luckily I decided to eat here a minute before it opened. This place is a long counter lined with metal stools. There are a couple menus posted near the counter. I ordered the Spicy "pork" Katsu garlic ramen. Did I mention, this is a 100% vegan restaurant? No meat. They sell bottled drinks. Service was efficient and friendly. He asked if I would be eating at the counter. I said yes, so after he put my ramen together, he delivered it to me straight to where I was seated. Chopsticks and napkins on the counter. Ramen tasted better than it looked. Don't make the mistake of dunking the "pork" into the broth as I did. It just makes it soggy. Whatever the two pieces of "pork" was made of, it was fried and tasted pretty good. The noodles were a nice consistency. Aside from the noodles, it included mushrooms, baby bok choy, seaweed, green onions, and the "pork." The broth was spicy the way I like it. read more

Ramen Hood is this great Ramen shop right in the heart of LA's Grand Central Market. This is a great place to grab a quick meal and sit back at their counter or grab one of the surrounding table tables, and enjoy a great bowl of Ramen This restaurant is vegan based. So, you know you're gonna be eating a very healthy and tasty meal. They have several varieties of Ramen to choose from. And, a few other items, as well. But, at their heart and soul is their Ramen And, I believe, that's the reason to go here. One of the main things that I love about this restaurant is the fact, that if you gone to LA's Grand Central Market you know that there can be some very long lines to get food from some of the various eating establishments. I've never seen this to be the case at Ramen Hood. So, you can always be sure of grabbing a great meal in an expedient manner. Like I mentioned, they have their own counter space. This is where I would suggest you eat your Ramen, because it's just a great place to sit back and get it delivered straight to you right away. What you'll find here is that they make each Ramen on the spot. Sure, they have most of their ingredients cooked up and ready to go. But, they prepare each bowl separately. So, each time you eat here it's gonna be a unique experience. Overall, this is one of my favorite places to grab a meal in the Grand Central Market. Always tasty. Always easy. And, just a great place to eat. read more

More than appreciate Ramen Hood in every way, especially being an 100% vegan ramen place in LA as well as DTLA's very iconic Grand Central Market. The service is always personable to me and the options are plentiful with over half a dozen varieties. Unfortunately I'll never be able to enjoy their broth and have a full ramen experience here without an epipen or two as I'm severely allergic to sunflower seeds and all their rich broth is sunflower seed based #LiterallyTooRichForMyBlood My first time here, I inquired about everything and had a diet coke. They do have some delicious small plates such as Cucumber Salad, Togarashi Tater Tots, Broccoli and Avocado Toast to name a few. Their Ahi "Tuna" Crisps are really popular, but the tuna is made from/contains sunflower seeds as well. Having had mock/vegan tuna of a similar kind in the past I can say it's like the real thing, but additionally no something I'd try. They do have some extras and I may attempt to put together a broth-less bowl next time, I just always worry about contaminants, being entirely plant-based with their signature item being something that is anaphylactic for me. The Omni Pork Katsu is delicious, the vegan egg is okay - I've personally never been a huge tradition egg in ramen person, even in my vegetarian days so will see it's not super needed, but worth trying. R.H. has a small variety of canned or bottled beverages from Coca-Cola based varieties to water and green or jasmine tea. Open seven days a week from 11am until 8pm, Thursday through Sunday, or until around 3:30pm during the early half of the week, Monday through Wednesday. Parking for Grand Central Market, as well as Pershing Square Station are both very close by. Restrooms shared with neighboring business. Good seating at their counter/bar and/or co-op seating throughout GCM. read more

Horrible experience. Told the guy taking my order this is my first time, guy recommended the Spicy Pork Katsu Garlic Ramen. I didn't read the menu and agreed to order the spicy pork katsu garlic ramen. The order came and I thought the pork looks dehydrated. When I put it in my mouth it was chew and not to my liking. I was unable to eat this bowel of ramen since it didn't taste like ramen, more like flavorless vegetable broth. When I asked for a refund on the full bowel; he refused stating I should learn to read and used his hands to indicate it's "PORK". When I asked why he didn't tell me it was vegan he said when guests find out it's vegan they don't order. Truth is I wouldn't have ordered if I knew. NO REFUND given on a full bowl I could not eat and did not eat. The mushroom I tried to chew was spit out. Horrible!!! read more

Very good vegan ramen! If you served this to me without telling me it's vegan, I would have thought the broth was a pork bone broth. Broth was very flavorful and noodles were cooked to perfection. Service was fast considering how busy there were. There were only two workers working on a busy Tuesday afternoon, so they were moving around non stop. After ordering at the register, you can either sit at the counter or at a table. We sat at the counter, so we were able to see our bowls being prepared. I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a good bowl of ramen in downtown LA! read more

Hands down my favorite vegan ramen spot in LA and that is saying a lot. I've had my fair share of vegan ramen in the last few years and coming to Ramen Hood just brought a huge smile to my face. Located inside Grand Central Market, Ramen Hood offers a fully plant-based menu and utilizes predominantly a sunflower seed broth which is very unique. Each bowl was around $15 and you can either eat at the counter (recommended) or ask for takeout and they'll put everything into a nice little package to rebuild wherever you go. During my first visit, I tried their Spicy Garlic Katsu Ramen. The broth was extremely flavorful and packed with umami, and includes OmniPork katsu, bok choy, king oyster mushrooms, and chili threads. The noodles themselves were excellent quality and I gulped down my bowl in what felt like an instant. I loved them so much that I ended up coming back here a second time during my most recent trip in LA. Getting downtown can be a challenge, but it's well worth it for this bowl of ramen itself. Whether you're vegan or not, this bowl is not to be passed up. I've had mediocre non-vegan ramen in my life and this blows all of those bowls out of the park. read more

Checked out this pretty cool spot in Grand Central Market for noodles and Asian food. It happens to be an entirely plant based menu. Ramen Hood specializes in big bowls of noodles with lots of toppings. Good options if liking things that are hot. The prices really aren't that bad for the big portions. Best place in the market for Asian food. It's close to the main entrance on Broadway, located next to one of the seating areas for the market. This has a long counter if you want to sit there. A lot to choose from. Ramen is the main thing. It's about $15 for a bowl. There's several options if you want it spicy. For sure it can be hot. I got the Spicy Ramen. This is made with a spicy sunflower seed broth, with baby bok choy, bean sprouts, chili threads, mushrooms, nori, and scallions. A couple more bucks to get a vegan egg. They actually really make these. Good place to get noodles and Asian food. It's not that bad as far as prices in the market. The whole thing is great for vegans and vegetarians. read more

Flew into town to visit sister. By the time we get through LAX I'm starving. Thankfully this place was in walking distance. Located inside Grand Central Market, where there are many good food locations but this one seemed to have the longest line and I was okay for the wait if there was good food at the end of the rainbow. Service was kind. The dude behind the desk walked me through some of the popular items. Spicy Ramen and Spicy garlic were our picks and thankfully there really wasn't much of a wait. Since it was closing time we took the items to go and enjoyed the delicious are on walk. Everything packaged securely and made it up a few blocks, through a few stairs and an elevator ride to her apartment. My mouth and stomach did a happy dance. The broth was perfect for the surprisingly cold evening. The Spicy ramen was spicy but nothing over the top. All the veggies were crisp and fresh and we were both beyond full from our meals. Definitely a great choice. read more

How is it possible that this place has gotten better?! I got the Spicy Ramen and each bite was a religious experience. The broth is insaaaaaane, the noodles are amazing, and I love the mushrooms. Everything about the Spicy Ramen bowl is perfect. We sat at the high top bar of the restaurant and I love that they don't allow non-vegan outside food at the bar with respect to it being a fully vegan restaurant. As usual, Grand Central Market was bustling and charming - I love taking people here who aren't from LA. And the service is fast, I think we got four bowls in under five minutes, so this a great option for a fast, delicious and healthy dinner or lunch. We took some non-vegan family members and both agreed that this was the best ramen they've ever had in their life, and they were wowed by the vegan egg. Can't wait to go back! read more

Vegan Ramen!! I finally got to try this spot! The ramen was delicious! I've never had oyster mushrooms! Def. A fan now! You can tell this pot is popular. A lot of people order to go.. it seems to be the choice as opposed to seating at the counter though I will say there is a lot of seating space. The staff was nice. When your ramen is ready they bring a tray with napkins, chili powder and chopsticks. It's a total vibe eating here. I feel the ramen could of had more of a kick and more noodles but I think anything extra is an additional cost to the base price of $15. If you're in the mood for vegan ramen.. I recommend! read more

Located inside grand central market by eggslut. This vegan ramen spot is a great place to try if you are ever in the mood for some healthy vegan ramen. Order: Spicy "Pork" Katsu Garlic Ramen Comments: I would recommend anyone interested in trying vegan ramen to try this spot. The broth was delicious and the noodles had an interesting texture that you wouldn't otherwise get in flour or egg noodles. The ramen was SPICY! Beware for those that can't take the heat because the spicy ramen does pack a punch which I definitely loved. The "pork" in the ramen reminded me of spam with both the texture and shape resembling closely to spam. The only reason I gave this place a 4/5 star is of course the price. Unfortunately, at a price of $17 dollars after tax and before tip, this spot makes it unaffordable for many people. read more

Realllly good 100% vegan ramen. My boyfriend and I shared a bowl of their spicy garlic "katsu" ramen and we loved it. Excellent noodles, mock meat, tons of green onions & the broth is so rich and SO good. Some of the better vegan ramens I've had. We added the vegan egg for an extra $2 which my boyfriend didn't love but I liked. They do a seaweed gelatin for the white part and for the yellow it's like a vegan mayo. Service was fine but I think they could do better by hiring another employee on busy days.. Everyone seemed a bit overworked and doing a million things at once but they did a good job pushing out great ramen in a timely matter so kudos to them. Tip your restaurants even when it's counter service. I'm happy I work nearby and I will be back for sure. read more

All I can say is: YUM!!! Easily one of my new fav places. I'm not a vegan but I do try to lessen my intake of meat products and this place is definitely 10 out of 10. I got the OG Ramen and my friend got the Spicy "Pork" Katsu Garlic Ramen. Mine was amazing!!! Flavorful and comforting; it was like a warm hug. The weather has been a lot colder lately and I always enjoy a good bowl of soup on a cold day. My friend really enjoyed his, as well. He is the definition of a meat eater and he wouldn't stop raving about it. This place is located inside Grand Central Market. The parking sucks but I definitely think this place is worth it!

Parking: there is a parking structure connected to the Grand Central Market (where Ramen Hood is located) for $4 for 90 minutes. Seating: You can sit at the bar-style table (of around 10 seats) at Ramen Hood or sit anywhere else at the Grand Central Market. Keep in mind that you cannot have food from other restaurants at the Ramen Hood bar table, so if your party buys other food at the Grand Central Market, then you must sit somewhere else. I ordered the OG Ramen ($13) with a vegan egg ($2). It was mediocre in my opinion. I highly recommend trying the egg if it's your first time. It's an experience in and of itself. read more

We ordered a chicken karaage to start and it wasn't bad, nothing to write home about though. Since the pieces were large, it was slightly awkward to eat without any plates, and I was just catching the crumbs with my hand (didn't have the ramens at the time). Also got a yuzu beer to try and it was delicious, nice yuzu flavor with some tanginess. I had the shoyu with duck while my husband had the yama tonkotsu that came with fragrant black garlic oil. The tonkotsu is not one of those rich, milky, creamy ones and I personally like these lighter ones more. I also enjoyed the shoyu which had a pleasant depth of flavor, but it felt like it was relying too heavily on MSG for umami. Noodles came out chewy. Definitely not the best ramens I've had but are some of the better ones in LA. Our server was friendly, as were the rest of the staff. Service was quick. The restaurant decor feels straight out of Japan, an extra bit of fun. There's a $10 paid lot behind this block of buildings that's convenient for anything in this part of Little Tokyo.

Dashi was VERY good. Generous amount of grated daikon. Assort. Tempura: Saw this being served while waiting. Looked really good and it WAS! Large shiitake mushroom. Fan cut Japanese eggplant, kabocha pumpkin, shrimp tempura & two (2) shiso leaves. All VERY crisp not oily. Warm dashi side had deep umami rich flavor. Probably made the legit kombu & bonita flake method. #1 ordered the Miso carbonara: garlicky carbonara served with their signature house-rolled out udon. Wonderful dish. Portion sizes were adequate. #2 ordered the Uni carbonara: same garlicky carbonara with uni bits strewn about. Estimating one whole uni broken. This actually works for ease of eating. Plus, uni ranges in the $18/oz on the low end to $60 or more/oz on the higher end. Yes we love & appreciate their gonads. Udon noodles were chewy, bouncy & worth the wait. Yeah yeah....the dough is purchased. Not house made. But, seriously you've seen the YouTube videos of restaurants specializing in Japan? Yes there are places in LA who make their dough & roll it out. It's Hella lot of work! Yamachan produces large scale udon/ramen in San Jose. It's fine. Let them work out the dough to water ratio. Also portion size was decent since we shared a couple apps. Might want to consider the option of extra noodles. The table to our right full of younger male co-workers were there to socialize. They probably all grabbed an afternoon snack.

During the pandemic, I loved ordering their ramen kit and making our own tuskemen. However, I have to say the quality of the food from this location seems to be poorer. I ordered the spicy pork tsukemen. The noodles were a bit soft that I think they were overcooked for a few seconds longer. It didn't have the chewy bouncy texture that I was expecting. The broth seemed to be missing a few toppings that was promised in the menu, there was no green onion, chopped chashu and menma. Overall I enjoyed the ramen, and it was still good, but just not as good as I remembered. The service was just okay as well. I did think the waitress tried her best, but she was the only one person working during Sunday lunchtime. It was very hard to get her attention. I can't help but feel a bit disappointed with this experience. I'm not sure if I'm going to come back.

They're open late, making it a great option for satisfying those evening cravings. The menu is incredibly extensive, featuring just about every Japanese comfort dish you can think of. From omurice and ramen to curry katsu and much more. With so many choices, sometimes it can be a little overwhelming to decide what to order. This time, I kept it simple and went with the shrimp omelet over pork fried rice topped with gravy. It was comforting, satisfying, and exactly what I was in the mood for. Our friends ordered ramen and an oyakodon, and everyone seemed happy with their meals. Kouraku also serves alcohol, making it an easy spot for a casual dinner with friends.

It had a deep and robust flavor. I don't think I've had that flavor of curry anywhere else but it was deeply heartwarming and satisfying. I really did enjoy this dish a lot. However, the pork cutlet isn't wasn't the best cutlet I've had. I would put it in the middle range of tonkatsus out there. While good, it didn't have the crisp flakiness you'd find in a specialty restaurant that specializes in just tonkatsu. However, it is still good. Next up was the omelette with gravy with fried rice that had both shrimp and pork. I feel the egg of the omelette was well made. It had that texture and consistency you would really want from an omelette of that nature. The pork and shrimp fried rice tasted a little light in the seasoning and flavor, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. The gravy was also lighter than a heavy gravy as well. When the food came out, I thought the meal would be deeply heavy due to the quantity and the gravy, but it still felt a bit light and manageable, which was kind of outside of my expectations, so that was pretty interesting. I do like the chicken soup this comes with. It has a nice flavorful broth where you could tell it was made well too. The service here is pretty good and attentive. The ambiance is nice but pretty busy. Also, if you come on the weekend, expect to wait a bit because a lot of people do want to eat here and the line can become a bit backed up.
