Nestled in the heart of West Side Los Angeles’ “Japan Town” on bustling Sawtelle Blvd, Tsujita Artisan Noodle Annex is revered for its indulgent, pork-infused bowls. However, hidden in plain sight amidst the menu is a delightful surprise that is winning over plant-based food enthusiasts – the Vegan Ramen at Tsujita.
This culinary gem is a departure from the signature bowls that made Tsujita a household name. The Vegan Ramen at Tsujita swaps the rich, pork-based broths for a lighter, yet equally flavorful, soy-based soup. It features a vibrant mix of fresh vegetables, savory menma (bamboo shoots), delicate hints of green onion, and seaweed, each ingredient adding layers of complexity to the dish. Served with Tsujita’s iconic thick noodles, this Vegan Ramen is as satisfying and filling as its meat-centric counterparts.
Sawtelle Blvd is a renowned destination for ramen enthusiasts, a street filled with an array of ramen shops each showcasing their unique styles. Amidst this diverse culinary landscape, the Vegan Ramen at Tsujita Artisan Noodle Annex stands out, demonstrating the eatery’s versatility and dedication to catering to a wide range of palates. Whether you’re a seasoned ramen connoisseur or exploring the delights of this Japanese staple, the Vegan Ramen at Tsujita is an absolute must-try.
