My friend was craving ramen and found RedWhite because of its high Yelp ratings, which sounded good…read moreto me. What he apparently did not notice during this research phase was one fairly major detail: the entire restaurant is vegan. Once he realized it, there was a definite moment of hesitation. I was more in the camp of, "Well, you brought us here. We're committed now." Thankfully, his accidental vegan ramen selection turned out to be a very good one. The space is compact and dimly lit, with dark walls, simple wood tables, and a warm glow throughout. It was packed when we went, which gave the room a lively energy, but it still felt cozy rather than chaotic. Once the bowls arrived, any skepticism disappeared pretty quickly. The broth was much richer and more flavorful than either of us expected, with that creamy, savory quality you want from a comforting bowl of ramen. We both finished ours. I had the No. 9 Truffle Salt Ramen and added fried dumplings to mine. The dumplings gave the bowl a nice crispy contrast, and the truffle flavor came through without overpowering everything else. The funniest part is that neither of us walked in specifically looking for vegan ramen. We just wanted a good bowl of ramen, and that's exactly what we got. Parking is available in the shared plaza lot, but keep in mind those spaces are shared with the neighboring businesses. Street parking is another option if the lot is full. My friend may not have realized he was taking us for vegan ramen, but I'm giving him full credit for the accidental discovery.

Stopped by for a late dinner after seeing some good reviews in Studio City…read more The staff was friendly, and the ambiance was unique, with a darker, bar-style atmosphere. The space was clean and pleasant overall, although the dim lighting and location at the end of the plaza made it a little difficult to find My biggest issue is that I really wish the restaurant made it much clearer that this is an entirely vegan ramen spot. My friend and I were looking for traditional ramen, ideally tonkotsu, so this was definitely not what we had in mind. Given how different vegan ramen can be from traditional ramen, I think this is something that should be clearly stated before customers order to help set the right expectations The broth was flavorful to some extent, but compared with traditional ramen, it tasted quite bland to me, especially since I had recently returned from Japan. I understand that vegan ramen has its own approach, but the overall flavor profile just wasn't what I was looking for We also tried the yuzu Coke and Sprite, which were a bit unusual for us. At $6 each, with no refills, the price felt steep for what seemed to be standard Coca-Cola products with a yuzu name twist only I can see this place being a great option for vegans and vegetarians looking for a plant-based ramen experience. The service was good, and the bar-style setting gave the restaurant a distinctive atmosphere. However, I really think they should be more upfront about the fact that the ramen is vegan, as this would help avoid confusion and disappointment for diners expecting traditional ramen Overall, a pleasant atmosphere and friendly service, but the menu and pricing didn't quite meet our expectations

She and everyone we encountered at the restaurant were friendly and provided great customer service. I noticed on the menu that there are a lot of vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, and plant based options available! There are many choices for everyone's dietary preferences.

We finally checked out H.O.P.E. in Studio City. The place has this wonderfully cozy, quiet vibe…read more There were 2 other tables besides us so it was quiet for a Friday night. Decided to try a few different items on the menu. We started with the Muay Thai Wing Kicks, which were absolutely amazing--perfectly crispy soy chicken wings with a great lemongrass flavor and topped with crispy basil. (Side note: we took the sauce home because it was so good lol) We also ordered the Tom Kah Kai soup which had that perfect hot-and-sour coconut broth flavor i always look for. Followed by the Pad Thai with tofu. All of the Asian dishes were so good. My husband went a different route and ordered the Burrito from their "Little Mexico" section. It comes with minced soy chicken, brown rice, black beans and cashew cheese. He thought it was just okay compared to other items we ordered. The staff was super friendly and welcoming. We noticed their take out was busier than dine in because i counted no less than 8 drivers plus another 3-4 pickup orders came in while we were there. And we were there pretty late.

Exquisitely balanced cream, brightness, and sage makes it sing, while not too heavy! Market caeser salad - Hard to resist! Dressing is light while bitter greens balance buttery breadcrumbs. A more fresh take that still delivers satisfaction. Grilled Jumbo Asparagus - What you'd expect. Nice additions, but doesn't necessarily elevate to the level I hoped. Even if every dish isn't always "perfect" the quality of the constantly updated menu draws me back more than any other place in such a hot area. Refreshingly genuine and cozy
