Vegan in Prague: Veganio (Ramen Quest)

A bowl of vivid yellow broth garnished with seaweed, bamboo, mushroom, red onion, chilli, and lots of coriander

Veganio is mostly a Loving Hut-style buffet restaurant, but also has a few items on its fixed menu, including a ramen which lured us over. You need to order at the counter. We didn’t see an English menu there, I think it’s just the menu board in Czech that you can refer to. If in doubt, you can check on the Wolt delivery app for the English menu options, because they’re always translated there.

Curry Coco Ramen

Broth: 4/5. It was a really tasty broth with lots of flavour and good chilli warmth. The flavours were predominantly lime and coriander (with some coconut, but not overpoweringly so – we’d expected from the name that it might be more coconutty), which made for a tasty broth…but it didn’t feel very Japanese to us.

Toppings: 3.5. I gave this 4/5 because there was a really generous portion of tofu and mushrooms. However, there was a lot of bamboo in it, and Dr HH marked it 3/5 because he got some bamboo that was too tough to chew through. Generally, we liked the variety of toppings. For me, the seaweed was a bit out of place.

Noodles: 4/5. Good portion size, no complaints.

Overall: 11.5/15

Four crispy tempura prawns with a wedge of lime and a pot of sweet chilli dipping sauce

It’s an all vegan restaurant, so there are plenty of other things you can try here too. We shared the tempura prawns which were very slow to arrive (we were halfway through the ramen already), but were absolutely fantastic.

It’s not a huge spot, but it was efficient and pleasant. If you want a tasty bowl of broth and noodles, this is a good option. But I’m not sure it’s really a ramen per se.

    “a Loving Hut-style buffet restaurant” I think the Lovin Hut’s in Europe are set up differently than in the states! I’ve only seen them as sit down restaurants and I find they usually have very “american” food like burgers and fries or asian foods (depending on the owners)

    The ramen looks really tasty though

      Interesting! Here they always have a buffet, and a menu you can choose from as well, though most people go for the buffet. I know at least one of the branches in Prague used to serve a couple of veganised Czech dishes on their set menu, so maybe they’re always tailoring to the local audience.
