Smoked seitan, buns, and many more delights

Wonderful menu of vegan appetizers, ramen, bowls, drinks, and desserts.

Favorite has been the smoked seitan bowl with vegan eel sauce and spicy mayo. I was also super excited for the bbq steamed buns, as it can be difficult to find vegan steamed buns, but there could’ve been more filling. I loved the peanut butter flavor in the shachu ramen but would’ve wanted more spice. The earl grey cookie was a bit disappointing being so dry and not having much flavor.

There is limited seating/space so you might not get a table right away, but you can always order for takeout. I would definitely go back to try more things.

Nice Looking Place, Terrible Food

I don’t understand where all these high ratings come from - the ramen I had was literally inedible. Tasting like an entire jar of miso has been diluted with a tablespoon of water, I had to add a large cup of boiling water, and still the only flavour was salt (tempered by a good helping of oil, with a little chilli). A cup of two-minute noodles would’ve been better value, and likely tastier.

Pros: Cute decor , Nice enough service

Cons: Hideously salty inedible food, Negligible vegetables, No flavour whatsoever, other than salt (and oil)

Fresh, flavorful, and filling

Wow! What a great addition to the area this place is. First of all, the portions are really big and the prices are fair. But more importantly, everything I’ve ordered has been delicious. The house-made ramen noodles live rent-free in my head now.

The menu is really big and there are always rotating specials - I always look forward to going back and trying something new.

Pros: Great food, Good portions and prices, Love the house made noodles

The leek rice cake is trancendent

Very cute little all vegan spot. I got a smoked seitan rice bowl and my partner got the Malaysian curry ramen. The rice bowl was solid. The ramen reminded me of Khao Soi I had in Thailand once. Really exceptional flavor.

But damn, the leek rice cake was completely incredible. Also the tiramisu was great. My one ding is a lack of soy-free options (I’m soy intolerant).

Pros: Leek rice cake 🤯, Malaysian curry ramen, Cute ambiance

Cons: Limited no or low-soy options

Hot Ramen on a cold winters day.

First time here, even though I live in Cambridge and it has been open for a while. Not sure what took me so long. Relaxed, fast casual, nice decor, good vibe. I had Malaysian Curry and a pot of Oolong tea-sooo good.

Pros: Great Ramen, Proper pot of hot tea, Loved the background music

Ramen for daze

Been meaning to come here for a while and was not disappointed with our first (if likely many) visit. You walk in and the vibe is just bright and inviting with big sky lights and many plants. A beautiful mural greets your as well. The staff was kind. The menu was extensive and has hot and cold ramen options as well as rice bowls and salads. There also is a seperate menu that showcases the rotating specials. We went with the mala cold ramen, the Tom yum soup, bbq buns, and the bbq drumsticks. The drumsticks were freaking great and the noodles were huge portions and tasty. The buns were fluffy and light. We had a spectacular time.

Pros: All vegan, Drumsticks are bomb, Cozy environment

Great option!!

I used to go to Ruby’s old vegan restaurant , Bayberry cafe, ALL THE TIME! It was amazing every time so I was excited to try this and she definitely knocked it out of the park again. The menu is expanding slowly to include a lot of the old favorites from Bayberry but the new options are just as good. I had the spicy ramen with the soy protein and everything and it was a big portion and came out quick. Smoothies were great as well. They have a bakery menu & catering as well. I want to come back to try out more things!

Pros: Quick service , Expanding menu, Nice atmosphere

Great ramen!

Good hearty ramen.
I’m from Japan just visiting Boston and wanted to take friends out for ramen and so we can hear. the miso ramen was tasty and hearty, but not like miso ramen in Japan.  my friends all ordered spicy dishes and they loved it. Next time I’m ordering a spicy one 

Pros: Good ramen, Big serving, Not crowded

Quick cafe vibe ramen

Decent portions, $14.50 for a bowl. The miso ramen has a strong egg flavor. The cold ramen is brothless and is like a nice peanut noodle dish

Fantastic ramen and getting better

Each time we go to get Ramen O'Bowl, I'm impressed with the flavors, options, and presentation. It's the second best vegan ramen around Boston, and consistently delicious.

I had the new Tom Yum broth and the tangy flavor was so good. Ask for some extra chili oil for a good spice kick!

In my mind I ordered shoyu but Shacha instead

Real cute interior for about 15 people.
Lots of choices. Shacha was tasty and creamy but light on sprouts and spinach. Tofu was nicely seasoned. Can only remove items and online ordering is limited to one. Can only add noodles extra for $2. Several starters on wall brown paper menu with more to come
Love tea service in a real heavy duty fancy pot and china cup.
Hope to get back to try other items. No states or dessert this trip

Pros: Lots of choices. Ramen was excellent, Service and decor

Cons: Parking

Great ramen and hospitality 🤗

Yummy and healthy bowls. I got two dishes and split with my friend broth based and a rice based. Both were really different and delicious!
They had just opened their baked goods part of the restaurant so they gave away pastries with the purchase of a meal!

Excellent

We were long time fans of the Bayberry Cafe and sorry to see them close, but their new place is arguably better. Ramen bowls, rice bowls and Caesar salad were all excellent. Fair warning, spicy means spicy.

Superb Bowls!

We loved our Shacha Ramen and Seitan Bowl (with spicy sauce choice) — both perfect, as far as I’m concerned! Excellent mango smoothie (only 3 ingredients) as well, plus a hot jasmine tea (among several choices).

Pros: Relaxed vibe w/ music, Delicious bowls!, Abundant ramen and bowl choices, all vegan

Cons: The room is a bit overlit, too bright!

Delicious

As a new vegan, I'm always suspicious that food from vegan restaurants is going to be weird or gross or whatever. I ordered from Ramen O'Bowl though because I needed something nearby that was available for delivery on GrubHub. I'm so glad I did! I got Shacha Ramen, a Caesar Salad, and a pumpkin roll. And from a purely taste standpoint, all of them were A ! I highly recommend this restaurant if you don't want to sacrifice taste for values

Pros: Highly palatable, Delivery available , Open for lunch and dinner

Cons: A bit pricey

Best Ramen!

Clean and efficient little cafe that serves amazing ramen and rice dishes. We tried the spicy soy bowl and the Malaysian curry ramen and were blown away by the deliciousness. The Malaysian curry is very very spicy so be prepared when you dig in for a wild ride. If you eat in they serve hot tea in proper teapots which was delightful! We also tried the blueberry topped cheesecake for dessert and it was lovely.

Pros: Fair prices , Great portions , Amazing flavor

Cons: They don’t take cash just CC
