It’s an all vegan ramen shop! It’s located in a food court where many restaurants gather together The ramen has tons of garlic and the noodles are thick and chewy
I was so surprised by the vegan egg, the taste and texture were amazing ✨ The soup was really good but a bit too rich for me

We have been here during our visit to Los Angeles. Just one word – Mindblowing!! We ordered Spicy Ramen. The broth was so fresh and very flavourful! Would definitely come back here for some more next time and would recommend 200%, if you’re planning to visit!

Ramen Hood is a unique spot in Grand Central Market serving 100% vegan ramen. I tried the Garlic Ramen, which comes with a broth made from kelp and dried mushrooms, blended with sunflower seeds and white miso to create a creamy base. The idea behind the broth is impressive, but the actual flavor felt quite light and clean rather than deeply rich. Toppings were mostly vegetables, keeping it fully plant-based, and the overall bowl was on the refreshing side. Seating is limited and the vibe is casual, so it’s more of a quick stop than a place to hang out. I appreciate the creativity and the effort to craft a vegan version of ramen, and it’s worth trying if you’re curious about plant-based takes on this classic dish.

Had been here a few years ago and tried it again and it was pretty good! The avocado toast has a bit of a different twist (but it’s really good). I didn’t enjoy what I had and I would definitely go again and try another dish.
(Wasn’t too busy, but did go on a Sunday around noon)

Got the garlic ramen, very flavorful broth, fried oyster mushrooms and bok choy. Was filling, but it had huge fried garlics that I didn’t really enjoy.

One of the most mediocre ramens I’ve ever tried, with service that was equally dismal—a huge disappointment overall. With so many great offerings at Grand Central Market, Ramen Hood is unfortunately not one of them. From the start, the service was unwelcoming, with the staff taking my order showing a bad attitude and rudeness. After placing our order, we looked for seating, and about 15 minutes later, we were handed our meal with complete indifference.
We had the spicy ramen, and it was disappointing in every aspect. The broth was overly salty, and the noodles were overcooked, resembling pasta more than authentic ramen noodles. It was an underwhelming meal served in a takeaway bowl. Although we were intrigued by the vegan ramen at Ramen Hood, the whole experience left us greatly disappointed.

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.
