Vegan Tsukemen @ 831 Yasai Tokyo Ramen

Nestled in the heart of Hollywood, Los Angeles, is Yasai 831 Ramen, an under-the-radar gem that’s stirring up a quiet culinary revolution. Here, they are redefining the Vegan Ramen Los Angeles scene, one bowl of Vegan Tsukemen at a time.

Their Vegan Tsukemen is an orchestration of flavours and textures that belies its simplicity. The soup starts with the unassuming onion, caramelized to perfection, setting off a symphony of sweet and tangy notes. Peppered within are chunks of Impossible meat – a playful nod to the carnivores who’ve ventured onto the vegan path.

But the symphony doesn’t end there. Sharing space in the bowl are noodles and a vivid ensemble of vegetables, each with its own unique contribution. The satisfying crunch of lotus root, the gentle softness of cauliflower, the fresh tang of asparagus, the surprising sweetness of radish, sunburst kernels of corn, and the earthy whispers of eggplant and squash.

Yasai 831 Ramen is more than just another ramen spot in Los Angeles. It is a testament to the delicious harmony possible when each ingredient in a dish is respected and celebrated. This is not just about serving vegan ramen; it is about creating an exploration into the rich tapestry of plant-based cuisine. It is here where you will discover what Vegan Ramen Los Angeles truly promises to be – a satisfying and flavourful adventure.

The dipping broth starts with caramelization of onions and has a slight tangy flavor. I believe they also have impossible meat sprinkled in there.
