Bantam King is a casual Japanese ramen restaurant in D.C. that offers a primarily omnivore menu with a single vegan ramen option featuring Impossible burger and tempeh in a spicy vegetable broth. The venue is known for its cozy atmosphere, accommodating staff, and outdoor seating, but vegan diners should be aware that the vegan ramen is the only dedicated vegan dish and that the noodles may contain egg, limiting its suitability for strict vegans.
