| - Was brought here by a friend to this little gem today for lunch and must say that I was very happy with the vegetarian (perhaps even vegan? since the broth is totally vegetable-based if I'm remembering correctly and without eggs or dairy. but gotta double check the ingredients, which are conveniently displayed on the menu) ramen that I got.
I ordered the Vegetable Miso Potage ramen ($10.75), which came in a really creamy and delicious, slightly sweet broth. The broth is totally vegetable based and is so creamy due to potatoes and cauliflower, probably. The noodles were topped with lots of veggies, including my fav - white fungus! And of course, the noodles were so heavenly omg... Egg-y, chewy, and thick, so yummy... Apparently Ryus' noodles are partly whole grain, so yay for fiber :) My friend ordered the Hot & Sour Wakame ramen ($10.75), which wasn't that spicy imo and the broth was much lighter/more watery than mine. There is pork oil in this broth, but I couldn't taste it at all when i tried a sip. The portion size of the ramens are not as ridiculously large as at Mo Ramyun, for example, but big enough that I felt completely full, but not dying by the end. Yes, I did finish eating everything :)
The service is very friendly - our waters were constantly refilled and we were checked on many times.
Lost 1 star for the crowded space and loud noise level. Currently I wouldn't recommend bringing a large group here since not enough seating. I hope Ryus expands in the near future because currently they have very little space for their level of demand.
Not super vegetarian/vegan friendly as most ramen places aren't, but a few apps are vegan (wakame salad, salad, mapo tofu) and 2 of the ramens are vegetarian/possibly vegan.
Will be back again!
