The food is so delicious! It is one of the few places where I can get fried Brussel sprouts that are vegan friendly! My husband loves this place too. The broth is so delicious. He usually gets the fries chicken (which I never manage to say or spell properly) and the spicy garnet. I get any number of their vegan ramens. It just depends on my mood. They are all so good! Though, most recently, I got the truffle vegan ramen. I can honestly say it's my new favorite. I hope it becomes a permanent fixture on the menu. The service is always good. My drink is always full and I never have to worry about flagging anyone down. You'll always be greeted when you enter and thanked on the way out. The ambiance is casual but I wouldn't say hipster casual. There is a ramen bar to sit at along with an outdoor patio. I haven't ever sat on the patio myself. I will say if you aren't eating ramen in the evening then you might get cold. Bring a light jacket.
I've eaten here a few times and tried a few of their ramens. Their amber and pearl are probably the best ones for light broth ramen. Their broth is super light and their noodles have good texture and their char siu is very tender. It all goes together very well Their gyoza is decent too. The staff is very attentive and the food comes out in a timely manner. The sake is great too.
Ordered online and everything was ready perfectly on time! I walked in and the hostess was helping get other things prepped and was wearing gloves. I appreciate the consciousness as she took one off to grab my meal. I ate the vegan bun first and it was just ok. Not something I would reorder. BUT the spicy garnet was phenomenal! I reheated this on the stove using the instructions and was so impressed. The broth flavor was delicious and all the addition stuff (noodles, pork, everything) was 10/10. Can't wait to go back and try more ramens!
This place is inching its way to becoming my "go to" place for ramen. I promised myself I'd try the Pearl (shio / salt) ramen on my next visit. Mind you, I have shoyu (soy sauce) running through my veins (which is why I may have blood pressure issues, but I digress), so getting a non-shoyu option was a new option. It did not disappoint! The umami in the broth is amazing, it complimented the noodles and garnish wonderfully. And because it's a vegetable-based broth, I don't feel the "heaviness" of a tonkotsu broth (which I still enjoy!), it was quite satisfying. Also worth noting, they've modified the recipe for the kara-age (Japanese fried chicken), it's even better now. A thin crisp coating over a juicy bit of dark meat. This time my son and I, who introduced me to Rakkan Ramen, visited the Redondo Beach location. It's slightly easy to miss, but well worth finding. It's a delightful place to dine. Need I say we'll definitely be back?
I avoided this ramen joint thinking that the broth wouldn't be hearty enough since it's just vegetable based but omg I was wrong! Thanks to Dine LA around July it game me an opportunity to try them out. It's a small dining area but I like the open area especially since it was summer but nothing like the heatwave we're having now. Everyone was helpful and I asked for the most popular broth and he suggested the spicy garnet with is spicy miso. The broth was heaven! It has some heat but definitely not bad. The noodles were al dente and it had a slice of tonkatsu and egg. With the Dine LA it included sushi and the sushi rice was horrible. So hard. Over all I was blown away with their broth and I wish I tried them sooner but now it will be in my rotation to satisfy a ramen craving.
Thanks to DineLA me and co-workers came here to have some ramen and sushi. The Friday we came here was not busy and parking at the side of the restaurant was not full. We were greeted and sat down immediately. Friendly staff took our order of Spicy Garnet Ramen and Spicy Quartz Ramen. We added an order of spicy edamame, spicy tuna sashimi, and takoyaki. I had the Spicy Garnet Ramen....broth was light and flavorful...it was really good! It wasn't spicy for me so I added a tad of chili sauce which gave the punch I was looking for. The sushi omakase set that came with the DineLa menu...fresh fish slices and huge at that! Loved it! Takoyaki was filling and the spicy edamame was spicy indeed! Glad we came and I might just come back this week to try the other ramen broth!
Great service. Was greeted and seated immediately. The server came back several times to check on us. I ordered the spicy tuna sashimi, chicken bun, and fried brussel sprouts. The spicy tuna sashimi was very tasty. The server was very considerate when I told her that I didn't want any green onions on my tuna, she further asked if I was ok with chives. Thank goodness she asked because I didn't want chives on my tuna either. She then again confirmed if that's the same for the chicken bun. The chicken bun was made of small pieces of fried chicken breast. It was fried perfectly where you can feel the different textures. The seasoning was on the light side, but it's fine with me because I'm not one for heavy seasoning either. The fried brussel sprouts were fried to perfection. I like that the leaves were burnt, but not too the point where it's butter and Rakkan Ramen was able to achieve that level. My boyfriend ordered the miso ramen, but I forgot to take a picture of that. He said that is was really flavorful and the ramen was perfect to his liking.
A Ma Zing vegan food, the vegan ramen is so flavorful it makes you wonder how they did it, you can taste every ingredient in it and the bao buns vegan and not are just outstanding!! I wasn't too happy for the mushroom vegan bao bun when I felt it, it was super cold and straight out of the fridge but the flavor and texture of both baos were worth it!
