Vegan Ramen in New Jersey

line art designed to underscore

At Menya Ramen House, vegan ramen is not an afterthought or a stripped-down version of a meat bowl. It is built from scratch with the same care as the rest of our menu: a real vegetable broth, house-made tofu, and layered toppings that give every bite depth. If you are looking for plant-based ramen in New Jersey that actually eats like the real thing, you have two bowls waiting for you, and two locations to get them from.

Our Vegan Ramen Bowls

Vegan Kimchi Miso Ramen - $17.50

Vegetable broth with original miso and wavy thick noodles, topped with vegan kimchi, homemade tofu, shiitake mushrooms, bamboo shoots, scallions, onions, charred corn, and sesame seeds. This is the bowl BestofNJ named among the state’s best, and it is one of our top-selling ramen of any kind, meat included.

Spirit Lifter (Vegan Curry) - $17.50

A curry-flavored vegetable broth with tomato paste, topped with okra, onions, corn, homemade tofu, and mushrooms. Warm, a little bright, and named exactly for what it does. Regulars come back for this one on repeat.

Plant-Based Japanese Comfort Food, Made From Scratch

Our tofu is made in house. Our broths are simmered, not shortcut. And our vegan bowls are designed to satisfy the same craving a rich tonkotsu does, without any of the meat. Whether you are fully plant-based, eating vegan a few days a week, or just want a lighter bowl with serious flavor, Menya gives you a vegan ramen in NJ that stands on its own.
