Vegan in Prague: Linh’s Vegan Corner (Ramen Quest)

A bowl of watery looking brother topped with mushrooms, beansprouts, red onion, sweetcorn, tofu, and half of a vegan hard boiled egg

Linh’s Vegan Corner has rave reviews, but the dishes I’ve tried there haven’t really worked for me – and unfortuantely, that includes the ramen.

Vegan Egg-no-egg Ramen

Broth: 1/5. It was extremely bland, and looked totally insipid too, like murky water. There’s no creaminess, no depth of flavour, nothing going for it.

Toppings: 3/5. There was lots of tofu, which I loved, and loads of mushrooms too, which helped to give it some flavour. The egg looked like it would be a fun twist and it had the texture right, but it did not have the flavour of an egg at all. Not even a hint of black salt. I may be wrong, but I assume the purpose of an egg on a ramen is for the yolk to run into the broth and enhance the flavour. This egg did not enhance the dish at all. It looks like a fun novelty, but was style over substance.

Noodles: 3.5/5. Dr HH thought they were a wee bit underdone, but they were fine for me, so I’m splitting the difference.

Overall: 7.5/15. There are presumably much better dishes on the Linh’s menu than this, so I’d encourage visitors to explore the wider menu and go elsewhere for a ramen.

This is the final post in the Prague Ramen Quest series – for now! Hopefully ramen options will continue to appear in the future. Pastva was my winner, though I’m looking forward to doing more research at Miska Ramen too. And if you are looking for a good bowl of noodles and broth in Prague, Chi Xiao Mian is probably still your best bet!

    Bummer about the egg. I think I saw a company in the US that is making vegan eggs for restaurants (or rather the website made it seem like this is their target audience) and I think they had one that was a runny yolk egg. And I am probably going to hit up so many ramen shops if it takes off. I miss the yolk

      Ah, I hope that takes off! Vegan eggs in general are becoming more popular on ramen and other dishes in the UK/Europe, but I think they’re all still missing out on a good yolk.
