Vegan in Prague: Miska Ramen (Ramen Quest)

Prague Ramen Quest continues! Miska Ramen Bar specialises in ramen and has four vegan options on the menu, all clearly labelled. We tried two of them.

Vegan Miso Ramen

Broth: 3/5. It had a nice creamy texture with a pleasant hint of miso wafting through it. It wasn’t particularly complex, though I think that’s the general problem of ordering a miso ramen.

Toppings: 3/5. There was lots of corn (boo!), bean sprouts, and greens. I was pleased that there were no giant bok choy, because I always find them tricky to eat. There were four pieces of tofu, which is good, but it seemed to be unseasoned, which is a real shame.

Noodles: 4/5. Good and plentiful.

Overall: 10/15. It was a promising dish, but I think I choose poorly and should have gone for one of the more exciting ramens. Such as…

Vegan Tan Tan Ramen

Broth: 4/5. It had a good heat to it, though it actually smelled a bit more flavoursome than it was, somehow.

Toppings: 3/5. Unexciting tofu and vegetables. There were enjoyable elements, especially the bamboo and beansprouts, but nothing really wild.

Noodles: 4/5. A good amount of noodles.

Overall: 11/15. It was a good spicy broth with hearty noodles, slightly let down by the unexciting toppings.

Five fried gyoza with a small pot o dark dipping sauce

There are also vegan gyoza on the menu, which we found to be very good indeed. There was lots of tofu and vegetables in them, and they were cooked really nicely – to be honest, I find a lot of the gyoza in Prague quite bland, so these are a cut above.

This is a small, pleasant restaurant that was doing very good trade on a Friday evening, so I’d recommend booking, and I’d definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a good vegan ramen. The staff didn’t speak much English, but there’s an English menu so you can easily muddle through with a bit of pointing. And they serve meat dishes as well, so it is potentially a good option if you’re dining with omnis.

    Unseasoned tofu can be a bummer but I think is technically the traditional way to eat tofu in soup in most asian countries. I don’t mind it, and sometimes like it, but you really need to make sure they simmer in the broth for 10 min at least so it takes up some of that flavor.

    Not sure how I feel about all this corn in ramen…
