Serious vegan ramen. I ordered the Yuzu Sesame with everything. The bowl arrived covered with a see-through lid to hold in the steam -- lifting it off as the steam cleared was a small but memorable touch, like a magic trick. A nice bit of theater. The noodles are stellar. Thick, chewy, and hard to find in the US -- not what you'd expect from a vegan bowl, but they absolutely nailed it. Possibly my favorite noodle of the year. The broth, however, came out lukewarm. It's a fixable mistake, but it meaningfully hurt the experience. True to the warning, it's sour -- yuzu-forward with a heavy citrus presence. It's also thicker and more viscous than a typical broth, which isn't quite right texturally, but the flavor is well above average for a vegan dish. The richest vegan broth I've had -- the tonkotsu of veganism. The toppings are an interesting collection, and they do a lot of work to keep the bowl from feeling sparse. The ginger tofu crumble almost reads as a breakfast ingredient -- good, but it makes you miss meat. The pan-fried dumplings are the standout: I bit into one and let the broth fill the pocket. A new experience, and a smart way to add substance without meat. The crispy onion gets lost in the mix, and the alfalfa sprouts fit the vibe without contributing much flavor. The presentation and commitment to bold flavors within a meatless framework are real strengths. The inventiveness reminds me of Mensho -- a genuine willingness to be different. With a properly hot, slightly thinner broth this could have been a 10. As it stands, 9/10. Innovative, delicious, and the noodles alone are worth the trip. That said -- even by LA standards -- $43.95 for a bowl and a four-piece roll is genuinely painful. Sides: Skip the spicy miso avocado rolls. The rice is dense and compacted, and the whole thing is overdressed in sauce, making it messy and unpleasant to eat. Lesson learned. 9/10 read more

I really enjoyed the #9 White Truffle it was delicious and the sprouts made it so much better! I wish I had mixed them in more instead of taking such a big bite. Service was quick, friendly and helpful. The ambiance inside is relaxed and casual but elegant. We liked the corner table with the wooden bench seating. I thought the music was pleasant but a bit overwhelming and repetitive. The Mac and Cheese has a delicious topping I thought was crispy onion. There is outdoor seating but I might not recommend it unless you feel the moment is right. I think their seating could be more comfortable and their prices are high. I'd like to explore their rewards program and app to see if there are any good deals. We spent a lot trying the Sushi. It was delicious and nicely sweet and savory, the miso was comforting. We could have gotten out for around $25 a person but the standard experience here seems like just ramen would usually run you about $32 plus local parking per person. We ended up spending $100 for the two of us driving into DTLA for this place. Fun! But would definitely plan more of an outing in LA if I came back. Looking forward to checking out the Studio City location. Thank you! read more

I am giving this place a 1 star. Here are my reasons: 1. The place is misleading. I had no idea this was a vegan only ramen spot. Tbf, I should have read the reviews and description thoroughly. If they were marketing vegan ramen, it should be blasted in their name. I think I'm not the only one that's come here and made mistake. But then I came in, and ordered unknowingly it's vegan but hey let's enjoy. 2. The food was ass. Like I get it ok.. I'm not vegan but i would assume vegan people would have tastebuds. But from the food and experience here it appears that they don't. Arugula in ramen is absolute a no. It's bitter and has no business in there ok. Again, I'm eating this thing regardless because I ordered it but it was not good. Now the the worst part, the sushi platter. I get it again, you're limited in what you can use as vegan dish. It was the most horrendous sushi I've had. And I've had 2 week old sushi in the fridge it's worse. I didn't even finished it. Although I did eat the ramen. I respectfully left without a scene. The waiter asked "if everything was ok?" Clearly seeing that I didnt eat half the food. Won't come again. Please transparent that it's vegan for the rest of us. Also remove the arugula in the ramen. read more

It was a rainy and windy night when we came here. Ramen was the ideal food for the circumstances. This place was open, located close to our hotel. The whole neighborhood seems to be out of business except for this place which made it a little sketchy walking around here at night. The restaurant was warm and pleasant inside and though it is a small shop they had a table for us. We ordered at the counter and sat down. A few minutes later they brought us our food. The flavors are very good, the broth does have a prevalent asparagus flavor to it, but I liked it. I will say before we walked in, I didn't realize this was a vegan spot, and was a little disappointed by the broth to start with. But after realizing it was vegan was actually rather impressed that they got so much umami into a veggie broth. Being vegan made the amount of protein feel lacking, which means I need more food to feel satisfied and their portions are a little small to satisfy me. We ordered two more orders of dumplings and another bowl of ramen to fill up before heading out which put the price tag quite a bit higher than I normally pay for a ramen dinner. Overall, the flavor is great, the neighborhood is sketchy (yes I know it's downtown), and the portions and protein are a little light for me though the flavor for vegan ramen was excellent. read more

We had the signature, truffle salt, and yuzu sesame. The signature was the best, the yuzu sesame was the most distinct from other vegan ramen we've had, and the truffle salt was pretty salty. Even for me, a salt fiend, it was a tad salty. The noodles had the right about of chew to them but the broth was lacking in flavor. For $20, I've had better ramen with more ingredients. The service was friendly and the place cozy. The staff were helpful. Outside the place it reeks of urine. It is what it is, what can you do. read more

**FAVORITE RAMEN IN DTLA** I was honestly surprised by how good the ramen is here, especially since it's completely plant-based. It had been a while since I'd had a bowl of ramen that really hit the spot, and this place absolutely delivered. PARKING There's garage parking and street parking nearby, which makes getting here pretty easy for downtown. FOOD No. 3 Garlic Miso Ramen Soboro (vegan meat & tofu), corn, fried onion, fried garlic, arugula, and garlic oil. Contains wheat (ramen noodles, fried onion, fried garlic). Simple but really satisfying. The noodles had the perfect texture for me, and the garlic flavor came through in the best way. The broth had great depth and richness, which made the whole bowl feel comforting and flavorful. RATING: 5/5 OVERALL The restaurant is small but cozy with a moody vibe. There are limited tables, but the service was friendly. Our food came out in less than 10 minutes. Highly recommend if you're looking for delicious vegan ramen in DTLA. read more

REDWHITE - Los Angeles - No 3 Garlic Miso Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Oh my! Don't think twice, get in there and order the ramen. When I say it was one of the best ramen I've ever had, trust me. This spot seriously deserves way more recognition. I'll definitely be coming back again and again. There's paid parking across the street, and they offer both indoor and outdoor seating. Service was fast, and the food? Absolutely delicious. Ambiance at the time I visited, mainly office employees. read more

Last Sunday was my first ever visit to RedWhite and it'll most certainly not be my last. I came here around 6PM with my wife and two friends and were lucky enough to show up as another group was leaving. I probably should of said this first, but this is a Vegan ramen spot so a little different than the usual. I ended up ordering the Truffle Salt Ramen, done signature style. What is signature style you ask? I still have no idea, but what I do know is that it was served with a big dome over it that was completely filled with smoke, so when I removed it, it simply looked cool. I have no idea if it did anything extra for flavour, but it certainly added to the aesthetic of the whole thing. The Ramen itself tasted very good, but I definitely regret not getting the spicy version of it. The noodles were good, the broth was good, and everything else was good as well. Overall, RedWhite is a fantastic addition to the neighborhood and definitely a place I'll take advantage of in the future. I'm pretty sure 75% of my friends are vegan, so I'll probably be back sooner then later. read more

REDWHITE - Los Angeles - Truffle Salt Ramen. - Ramen Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Upon arriving into Los Angeles late, my friend and I were looking for a quick place to eat since the hotel bar and restaurant didn't offer many vegan options. After a short google search, I suggested Red White since I saw reviews mentioning vegan ramen on the menu. To our delightful surprise, everything was vegan! I was especially skeptical that an ramen restaurant served plant-based mac'n'cheese! Our tastebuds were fully satisfied as my friend practically licked his bowl clean and I took half of my food to-go for later. I'll probably be back a few more times during the short weekend stay for the cute and sexy interior, delicious food, friendly and patient service, and dope music. read more

It's an interesting place with interesting ramen choices. The place is so dark, at one point, you question if they open! They have a few choices of ramen. It's a place for indecisive ones...I guess. We got curry flavor and truffle flavor. I was not impressed with neither of them. The sushi was also weird. The shape of the rice and the texture of the rice were creative but yet unfamiliar. I love the creativity, yet thinks its lacks of tasteful satisfaction. read more

The decor is great: sleek, simple, yet calming with the wood and black finishes. Service is efficient and friendly. I tried the #5, yuzu sesame ramen, which I had spicy. I found the broth to be pretty complex, tasty, sesame-heavy, with meaty tofu and some refreshing yuzu (wish there was more of this). I did find the broth to be a bit thick. The noodles themselves were perfectly chewy and paired well with the broth. I wouldn't have known this was a vegan ramen. It must have been salty because I was quite dehydrated through the next morning, but it didn't taste salty at the time. read more

A blast of flavor, creativity, and aesthetically pleasing dishes. This place was cozy and sheik, and a great place to impress friends, or for a date night. In the middle of downtown, this place is not only delicious, but also happens to be vegan. They have sushi dishes as well and so many different flavor profiles with ramen choices for everyone. Everything we ordered was so good, with decent portions, that some of us took leftovers. Staff were amazing and the atmosphere made you feel like you found a secret spot in the city. Even your non-vegan friends will love it. Parking: street, some free and some metered. Lots also in the area. Pricing: $15-$25 Dietary: vegan with sushi and ramen options Seating: limited in and a couple outside seats. Service: excellent. Friendly and helpful read more

First off the sushi was terrible, it seemed like sushi someone would make if they had late night munchies at home. My partner did like her yuzu ramen, however I did not like my curry ramen at all. It was too salty and tasted like too many ingredients mashed in a horrible melting pot of ramen. The Mac and cheese was a no for me as well. It tasted bland and I'm not sure what hot Cheetos they smashed on top but it didn't go well together. To top it off the service was underwhelming. From this experience, I will not be coming here again. read more

Red White Boneless Ramen in DTLA really came through for me again. The sesame ramen is rich, creamy, and packed with layered flavor -- it's definitely the one. I also tried the sweet chili taco roll (crispy and spicy with the perfect bite) and the roasted miso avocado roll, which has this buttery texture and bold miso flavor that stays with you. They've mastered vegan ramen and rolls without compromising texture or taste -- and the downtown location has a chill, minimal vibe that makes the whole experience better. Super clean, fast service, and open late. Always a win. Definitely one of my top spots in LA. read more

Cool little ramen place on west 6th street. We parked in the parking structure around back. $12 evening rate which is decent for normal parking rates. There's some street parking around but Friday night was busy. Seating available indoors but don't bring a large party as the venue is small. Good for small groups or couples. The food was a bit of a wait because there weren't many folks working but it tasted amazing! Def recommend trying this place. read more

I've tried this spot twice now, once through doordash and now dine in, and both times it was pretty average. Tonight i went because it was open so late and it was just a few min walk from my hotel. i got the miso garlic extra spicy & the spicy miso avocado sushi roll. The ramen could've used more veggies and flavor. it was pretty dense and heavy. the sushi roll was more of just a rice cake with a dollop of avocado stuff on top. not like an actual roll where the ingredients are inside. The vibe inside was nice but outside was not. Very loud and busy street with just the bus and cars as ambiance. The service was fast though. Not a bad option if you're desperate but i don't think i'll be back. read more

REDWHITE - Los Angeles - No 3 Garlic Miso Ramen & Spicy Roasted Miso Avocado Sushi Roll (4 pieces) - Ramen Near Me - Los Angeles, California

See all

Very disappointing! Had eaten at the Studio City location and absolutely loved it. But here... where to start, so many problems. The avocado rolls were shockingly inedible because the rice of each piece was like one solid glutinous brick... could not even bite through it, literally. Had to leave the rest on the plate, uneaten. Told the employee who'd taken our order (who didn't seem all that interested in customer service), and he said it's supposed to be that way, and that it's premade, not fresh! (Really? It's supposed to be too hard to bite through? It's rice!) The mac & cheese was served in a little cardboard tray as if it were fast food, or an afterthought, and was just dry and clumped together, like leftovers. Again, we were told, it's premade, just heated (with apparently zero attempt to make it appealing in texture, flavor or presentation)! Another waste of money. We did eat our ramens, but there were issues. The garlic miso ramen had a good flavor but was much too salty (even for salt lovers like us). And the yuzu sesame ramen was very weirdly strongly sour (even though it had been our favorite item at the Studio City location and not like that). And what's happened to the delicious "vegan meat" they used to have in the ramens? The employee told us a tale about men breaking in and stealing their recipe so they had to change all their menus in March... ? We won't return to this place. But we will try Studio City again and just hope it's as scrumptious as we remember... However, if it's gone the way of the DTLA place, what a shame. They have some nerve serving us the totally unacceptable appetizers they did and not giving a damn. read more

If I can sum up my experience LIFE CHANGING. First of all, the staff are out of this world kind! The spicy roasted miso avocado roll is a something you tastebuds will thank you for. It's extremely packed with flavor and sauce, ample crunch... you just want to like the serving plate... it was hard to eat the last bite because I didn't want it to go away. No. 8 Ramen (Red Hot Miso) was excellent. I particularly like that it's served with arugula. The protein are delightful. I opted for the rice noodles to make it gluten free, and again was is la la land. The dining room is spacious, well appointed and immaculately clean. I'm so happy I finally got to make this place off my list. It's the first of MANY visits. read more

Some of the most delicious ramen I've ever had, vegan or otherwise. The broth was very creamy with an excellent depth of flavor. The noodles were perfectly chewy, with plenty of spring and bite. The soy/tofu crumbles also had a great marinated flavor to them (no boring plain tofu!!) This location is counter-order, with the option to dine in or take out. My only note is that the ramen doesn't come with the variety of toppings that I would normally expect (like an egg, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, etc). I didn't think that it suffered because of it (I was halfway through my bowl before I even realized...) but just an fyi. They are available to add on however. Overall, I would STRONGLY recommend Redwhite!! read more

I got a to go order from uber eats. I ordered the No 8 Red hot, it was soooooo delicious!

In a long list of failed restaurants in this particular row of options, this one has amazingly seemed to have found a foothold. Congrats I'll never forget the first time I saw the sign and I didn't have my contacts in and I thought it said Homeless Ramen, so I had to quickly do a double-check and then re-read it correctly as Boneless Ramen, which then got me thinking about the fact that I don't ever remember having any bones in my Ramen, but then I found out what they actually meant; Vegetarian-friendly ramen serving plant-based versions of the Japanese noodle soup and for tofu dishes. I admit that I am a meat-itarean, but I do enjoy the food here as well and most times of someone didn't tell you what you were eating you wouldn't know it wasn't real meat. It's just across the street from our office, so a lot of people from work enjoy having their lunches here. read more

REDWHITE - Los Angeles - Miso ramen - Ramen Near Me - Los Angeles, California

First time visiting their DTLA location because boneless ramen keeps me coming back! There was one other party there on a Thursday evening, but I saw various delivery orders while I dined it. I can see why. You won't be disappointed with anything on the menu. In case you're wondering what's the difference between regular & signature, they are now charging $1 extra for the bowl of smoke over your ramen. It used to be complementary and really cute if you're a foodie who likes to show off your food online. All in all, I'd recommend boneless ramen to anyone who wants vegan ramen! However, bring anyone, because it's worth a try even if you are a meat eater. Ps. On a Thursday evening I found free street parking. Not sure what parking is like on a weekend. read more

I wandered into this place on a lunch break from a training in downtown. There is street parking but.... It's downtown... so... I'm a sucker for yuzu so when I walked past the outside me u and saw "yuzu ramen" on a rainy day, I couldn't not go in. I think this place is vegan so I was a little thrown off. The ramen was just okay. The noodles were thick and not cooked entirely-they were a little gummy and still stuck together. I had to use my chopsticks to break them apart. There was a LOT of corn in the ramen. The "broth" was more like gravy. Not bad, not good, just not what I was expecting. Maybe it's because it's vegan? ‍ The price was good. Less than the other big name ramen place down the street. The menu was small and simple. I would recommend this place to my vegan friends but I don't know that I'd come back, or choose this place over Jinya or Silverlake Ramen. read more

Came here for dinner. The dimly lit interior makes for great ambiance, but counter ordering that seems to be en vogue these days took away some from the experience. The miso broth, touched with yuzu and lots of sesame flavor was the star of the show. The sushi rolls on the other hand were very disappointing. They suffered two cardinal sins: wrong temperature of the rice, and wrong texture/flavor. I left the rice behind. The avocado topping of the sushi was not what I expected, which added to the disappointment. Service was fast, efficient and friendly. A mistake was corrected promptly, and food arrived fast to the table. read more

Absolutely wowed by REDWHITE - it's a niche (meat-free ramen) and so my expectations are set at 'compromise' but REDWHITE turn the dial all the way up to 'you've never had anything tastier that this.' The Yuzu Sesame Ramen and Avocado Roll were both absolutely superb: tasty, distinctive and creative. They blend the spicy with smooth with flair and confidence. If I didn't live a few hundred miles away I'd be a regular, but as it is I will certainly drop by next time I'm in LA. This was a complete coincidence for me: we were in town for Universal Studios, and this is close enough by that I would say it's the perfect way to end your park day (although the neighborhood is a little off-putting). read more

tried veg ramen and honestly flavors aren't bad but wouldn't be my go to (as a meat eater) ordered: garlic miso, yuzu sesame, crispy chili taco ("sushi"), truffle mac and cheese garlic miso: i thought was missing that main garlic flavor so i asked for more garlic, but was given a garlic paste and made it more pasty than the garlic flavor i was looking for. i also love love garlic so if you're not into it like that, it might be fine as is. yuzu sesame: their most popular, i think it's a bit too adventurous for my taste in ramen, but it was good if you like a sour lighter flavor sushi: was okay, wouldn't order again truffle mac: i don't like truffle so i wouldn't get this again but the vegan cheese wasn't too bad it didn't taste like i was eating vegan mac n cheese, but it was a little dry. also i did not like the crispy onion topping overall: for vegan ramen, this is not bad at all. i would come back to try the japanese curry ramen, i think that would taste really good. service was this funny guy who was messing w us. and ambiance was nice too, a chill crowd read more

Love, love, love this place!!! I typically get the no 5 yuzu sesame ramen (always signature-the smoke is so unique and elevates the whole experience), as well as a half piece roasted miso avocado roll. YUMMYYYY!

Honestly tastes like being in Tokyo, and like a warm hug on a rainy day. One of my favorite restaurants in LA, hands down. And the person who helped us was super nice! Will definitely brave parking downtown again for this location, as i kinda preferred this one to the studio city one (though both are good!).
