Ramen O’ Bowl

Ramen O’ Bowl serves an entirely vegan menu on Massachusetts Avenue between Harvard and Porter squares. Its house-made noodles appear in miso, shoyu and Malaysian curry broths, with tofu or soy protein and plenty of vegetables. The shacha ramen takes a creamy peanut-butter base, while cold noodle dishes offer sesame-tahini or spicy mala sauce.

Rice bowls give you another option, including smoked seitan with pickles, avocado and seaweed salad. Smaller dishes such as tofu nuggets, steamed dumplings and sesame balls make it easy to add something for the table. The plant-based approach carries through to desserts and drinks, including Thai tea made with soy milk. The restaurant currently serves lunch and early dinner daily, with online ordering for pickup or delivery.
