Ichiraku Ramen - Mentor

Tent Kayaking in Mentor Lagoon and found this place for lunch Great meal great service!

A number of vegan Japanese dishes, both with vegetable only and Dr Praeger Vegan chicken substitute. I had the Yakisoba with vegan chicken, Shoyu Ramen and Okonomiyaki and enjoyed them all very much!

We tried Ichiraku while passing through and it was exactly what we needed/demanded. At first we were thrilled that there were so many vegan options. The food came fast, was hot and delicious. My husband got the yakisoba lunch and I got the agedashi bread lunch. Both were so good. I was also impressed by how crispy my tofu was! Very impressed and would definitely go again!

3 stars for a full vegan menu. Food was super greasy and not very tasty and order was almost 30 minutes late. (We ordered 5 things off the vegan menu- including the ramen which tasted like they added sugar to store bought broth.

Excellent Japanese-style ramen restaurant with a whole section on the menu devoted to vegan dishes. My family thoroughly enjoyed our choices: Shoya ramen (see photo), tofu steak and veggies Japanese curry. Crispy vegetables were a treat in the Japanese curry as well as a nice crust on the tofu steak. We returned a few weeks later to order take out during the current social distancing in effect in Ohio. Again the dishes we brought home were tasty and satisfying. This time we added bubble tea and the restaurant honored our request to substitute the almond milk with coconut milk since my daughter has a tree nut allergy. There should be a way to add a fifth star to the rating for my review as a result to accommodate allergies.
