Lôc Japanische Ramen Mainz in Mainz

An awesome stop for those who want vegetarian options. Great flavor and choice. Southeast Asian food is sometimes heavy on meat with things like beef broth, so it was great to find a place that allowed me to try vegetarian substitutes of dishes I have wanted.

Cool vegan restaurant in the heart of Mainz with really good food. The staff is also quite friendly. What's unacceptable in 2025 is that they don't accept card payments. That's really not difficult these days, and you should expect it at this price level. The biggest letdown, unfortunately, is the location. The dining area is relatively small and cramped, with seating very close to other guests without any real privacy. Furthermore, the acoustics are quite poor inside. It's always very loud. Furthermore, which is especially noticeable in the cold season, it's very stuffy and poorly ventilated inside. Nevertheless, it's quite a highlight in the Mainz restaurant scene. I wish the Lôc team could find a location that truly does the restaurant justice.

I ate there for lunch for the second time today and was completely satisfied. The food was delicious, and the service was very friendly and helpful with any food intolerances. I was more than thrilled with the Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk. For me, it was better than dessert. It certainly won't be my last visit.

Very tasty, fresh, and visually appealing food. I'm neither vegan nor vegetarian, but I won't be stopping there just for this one visit! I think the requirement to pay in cash is a bit outdated, and the lack of backrests automatically shortens the time you spend there. However, these issues are negligible, as the food is truly delicious!

We were there for lunch, service was great and food tasted very good

I've been there several times and it's always been a highlight! Very nice atmosphere, fresh food, and delicious drinks. 🫛🍛🍹 What was a bit disappointing for us personally was the sushi for two and the raspberry water. Since the restaurant isn't that big, I would always recommend making a reservation.

Very tasty food! Friendly staff and pretty seating. Only downside was only cash payments.

Top vegan cuisine, really delicious, highly recommended.

The vegan food is exceptionally well-seasoned and beautifully presented. The staff is friendly and competent. The prices are fair. The food is good – even for meat eaters. We enjoy going there.

Delicious! Very tasty food for a fair price! Just drop in!

We often drive over an hour just to eat here. This restaurant makes us happy!

A delicious place to eat friends and meet good food!

Super super delicious! Especially the rice noodle salad with vegan duck! Some servers aren't always friendly, though.

What happened to me here is absolutely outrageous! I ordered a portion of pho and a portion of edamame via Lieferando at 8:30 p.m. (order number GY7QCK, amount: €23.28). Everything was paid for immediately, and the delivery confirmation was supposed to arrive in 45 minutes. At 9:30 p.m., there was still nothing. I tried calling the restaurant countless times – NO response, no one answered the phone. Then suddenly I got a message saying it would take another 15 minutes. So I thought, maybe there was traffic or something. But NO – even after another 30 minutes, no food, no driver, no information. Instead, the owner called me at 10:10 p.m., apologized, and told me the order had to be canceled. This is really the last straw! Making people wait for almost TWO HOURS and then just canceling is simply disrespectful and a huge waste of time. If they don't have capacity or something is sold out, cancel IMMEDIATELY and don't leave them hanging forever. I've never eaten here before—and there will certainly NEVER be a second chance. Such unprofessional, chaotic behavior is simply UNACCEPTABLE. A complete disappointment!

I'll be coming more often now! Super delicious and creative! I had the Bao Burger and my friend had vegan shrimp with fragrant rice—perfect! The shrimp had a shrimp-like texture, and the vegan duck on the burger was very crispy. Before that, we had the No. 11 deep-fried dumplings—mm, yum, yum.

Beautiful ambiance, delicious food, and beautifully presented! Good value for money, highly recommended!

A delicious vegan restaurant with a great selection of dishes. It also has a nice, cozy interior. We'd love to go back! :)

Service was okay, but they didn't even ask if everything was okay. We had to go inside to pay because no one else was coming. My partner's meal was a 0/5, really! The bun on the Bao Bun Burger was deep-fried; it looked and tasted like it had been thrown back in the fryer the day before. It was really hard to bite into. My meal (shrimp with vegetables and rice in orange sauce) was okay, but the shrimp weren't tasty at all and had nothing to do with animal shrimp. I couldn't even eat them because they didn't taste good. The rest was okay. Unfortunately, nothing I would recommend. It's a shame; we were really looking forward to it.

This was actually the first vegan restaurant I've been to where the food wasn't good. The starter was solid, nothing special, but edible. For my main course, I ordered the Bao Burger. The "bun" was deep-fried, which was new to me. But I would have happily indulged in that. Unfortunately, it was so hard that you couldn't even cut it. I could only eat the top half, otherwise I would have probably broken my teeth (no joke). The burger was also very poorly prepared, consisting only of the hard bun, vegan duck, four small tomatoes, and a halved gherkin. No sauce. No salad. Simply a disappointment.

The interior is a bit too dark for me, but the food was excellent and the service was friendly and prompt. I'd go back anytime. 💚😋

Very good vegan restaurant. A flavor explosion. Payment is cash only.

The food is super delicious! We had the vegan duck and can highly recommend it.

Still great even after repeated visits.

We have and had the food delivered. It was absolutely delicious, fresh and plentiful. Always my pleasure.

Truly INCREDIBLE food, great service, great location. Even the drinks are amazing. The vegan “duck” is to die for.

It's nice that there are only vegan dishes, so you can feast without having to pay attention to lactose

You get your money's worth, the potential of vegan cuisine is fully exploited: healthy and delicious.

My food was probably bad and I had an upset stomach the rest of the evening and the following morning. I had bad luck with the service. The waiter swapped the soups at our table and only noticed after we had eaten. Ambiance is very nice. :)

The restaurant is tastefully decorated and offers cozy places with wooden furniture. We were greeted politely and given a table of our choice - the entire service team was quite friendly and accommodating throughout the evening. The menu offers a great selection of vegan dishes, in combination with vegetables, mushrooms, tofu, seitan, etc. We were really spoiled for choice. The food came without a long wait. With the fried udon and the ramen soup, the taste was ok, but a little too salty - please improve that and refine the taste! The restaurant offers a harmonious concept. Just the music shouldn't be so loud. The price-performance ratio is right. Pure cash payment. We liked it.

Unfortunately the staff wasn't very friendly and ignored us several times, saying they would come back straight away and never came. And then the food came before the drinks. We felt very unwelcome here. It was also super loud in the restaurant and the food was ok, but not anymore because my fried sushi was ice cold. Unfortunately, the price-performance ratio wasn't right for us.

I've only recently become vegan and this is the best food I've eaten since! Really crazy good!

The food was ok, but unfortunately the service was not. A meal came before the drinks, we had to ask for a drink x times. There weren't any napkins for everyone and the floor was extremely sticky. Acoustics were also bad. Everything is getting better.

Super tasty. And also great music🥰

Very tasty food and drinks are also wonderful. The service is also top. The painting on the wall gives it such a nice local vibe. What really bothered me personally is the music. More classical rap music was played. I would like to play traditional Vietnamese or Asian music

Great Asian vegan food! Too bad we couldn't dine in because we arrived too late. So we took away and it was delicious. I recommend the tofu curry with peanut butter sauce, it had really good stuff inside and great flavors.

Food: super delicious!!! Service: bad. We waited a very long time until we could order. In between, no one came to ask if everything was OK or if we wanted to order anything else. We sat in front of our empty appetizer plates for ages. We also sat in front of empty glasses, which unfortunately no one cared about. Guests who arrived long after us received food far before us. It's also a shame that you can only pay in cash and not by card.

Absolute favorite restaurant. I still find it almost too good to be true - all vegan 😍 We have been here many times and have eaten many different dishes here. And so far we haven't been disappointed once. Every dish and especially the vegan duck here is really something! 😊

Very very tasty and large portions. Nice ambience.

Mega good restaurant for vegan cuisine. Even though I like to praise food, the food here was really something special and was enjoyed from start to finish. The furnishings and atmosphere are also really cool. Unfortunately no card payment possible.

Really excellent food at reasonable prices. The sushi is an absolute hit and always worth ordering. But other dishes are also very tasty. You have to like the relative darkness in the restaurant (absolutely okay for me). What's not so okay is the lack of backrests on the benches and, above all, the noise when it's busy. It's very, very loud in the store.

Loved it, the vegan duck was super tasty, great and lots of non-alcoholic cocktails, everything was clean, service was nice, we'll be back.

We were thrilled from start to finish. Great food, nice service, fair prices, nice shop. Top!

Interesting selection and a good change. Nice service. Food was OK. Pasta and vegetables were tasty, but the salad wasn't my thing. Unfortunately the space is a bit narrow and dark. Otherwise nice atmosphere

Good food and large portions. Unfortunately, we received the main courses relatively late at a table of 4 and it is generally quite loud in the restaurant. You should definitely make a reservation, otherwise it can be really difficult to get a table. Really good price/performance ratio. I would only like purely vegetable dishes without tofu, “chicken”, “duck” or “shrimp”.

I was here with some friends. The service is very good and we also really like the location. We all had the vegan sushi, although that's not quite my world. Most of my companions were vegans who really appreciate the food there and eat here regularly. But I prefer to stick with fish and meat on the sushi.

Unfortunately, I have to say that I used to find the menu/selection of dishes better. Nevertheless, it tasted very good and the staff was very friendly. Unfortunately, the wrong food arrived, even though there were only two other people there besides us, so it couldn't have been due to stress. I think this is a great restaurant, especially for vegans, and I've also heard good things about the sushi. However, I wouldn't come back for other dishes as they were rather disappointing

Very tasty food, large selection and extremely friendly staff - we will come back!

Very tasty food, everything completely vegan. Great price/performance ratio. Food was on the table very quickly, even though the restaurant was full. I would like to see the possibility of card payment in the future; that should simply be standard in 2025. You also sit on fairly simple, hard wooden stools without backrests. That doesn't necessarily invite you to linger for a long time.

The employees are super friendly, the food came super quickly and tasted great. Great vegan restaurant where you don't have to miss out on anything in terms of taste.

Great crispy sushi rolls, kimchi not so authentic, great tofu. Curry is a bit sweet.

Very friendly service and the food came super quickly. And in terms of taste, the best restaurant I've been to this year. I can only warmly recommend it.

Anyone who suffers from celiac disease has a difficult time here. After much demand, only a small selection of sushi was available. This one came with the wrong sauce, which I luckily noticed. We also pointed out to the owners that the bottle of wine is more expensive than individual glasses and should be opened properly beforehand. The service was nice, but overall didn't have enough knowledge.

I can highly recommend Loc Vegan Kitchen, the service is great, it is beautifully decorated and has a nice atmosphere. The food is a delight and it also convinced my non-vegan friend. I'd love to come back

Nice atmosphere. Very good food. It was really tasty

It has now become our favorite restaurant in Mainz. Friendly staff and super delicious healthy food. We ordered something and ate it there. The chairs there could still use cushions, but otherwise you feel very comfortable and the restaurant is also very well located and easily accessible by public transport😅

Delicious food without having to constantly make sure there is nothing animal in it, purely vegan restaurant!

Super delicious ramen and pho 🍲

- Food: Very tasty food! Unbelievable that everything is vegan! - Service: Very friendly. - Ambience: Nicely decorated. Very atmospheric, especially in the evenings in summer.

The food there is a taste experience 👌, super delicious! Everything vegan 👍 It's very cozy there and invites you to linger for a long time. The service is really nice and accommodating. We can only recommend this restaurant and are already looking forward to our next visit 😊

Very tasty and visually great food. Friendly service, nice atmosphere and good value for money. Central location near the train station, will definitely come back.

Super delicious food even for non-vegans 😃 Good, friendly service and absolutely reasonable prices.

Didn't expect much to be honest considering i havent had super delicious vegan food yet. This place was great actually, the food was genuinely delicious, i wouldnt even have guessed it was vegan if i didnt know. The drink was also really really nice and the staff was very friendly and kind too. The toilets were clean and overall the whole restaurant had a nice feeling to it. Will definitely come here again.

Culinary impeccable vegan cuisine. Anyone who doesn't follow the vegan trend will get a taste here, as the dishes are really an adequate alternative to the "classic meat dishes". Nice interior and nice staff, although sometimes a bit sloppy. But all in all, we've always had a delicious meal and a lovely evening

Very tasty food, in a great atmosphere, at reasonable prices. There's nothing to complain about on my part.

Delicious food, fast and friendly service. Atmospheric restaurant.

The food was great. The vegan duck in particular tasted very good. The vegan shrimps also impressed with a very similar taste to their non-vegan counterpart. The waiter was very friendly. Unfortunately, piano covers of pop songs were playing the whole time, which was a bit confusing.

Great selection, delicious vegan shrimp. Friendly service. Unfortunately, some of the food was quite sweet, but otherwise it was fresh and beautifully presented.

The Lôc makes the best sushi in Mainz and also has great warm dishes. The restaurant is purely vegan. The walls inside are beautifully painted and the many lamps create a nice atmosphere. Unfortunately there are only benches without backrests, which can become a bit uncomfortable after a few hours. The service staff are nice and accommodating. Unfortunately, the toilet in the basement is not barrier-free. You can only pay in cash.

Unobtrusive furnishings. Unfortunately, the service was relatively disinterested. The "ginger water" consisted of a few strips of ginger and tap water. The summer rolls initially made a good impression. You can get kimchi better in any Asian supermarket (more sweet than sour with lots of iceberg lettuce as a disguise) and the main courses (sushi and udon) were relatively tasteless or tasted more like ready-made sauce (I'm just saying carrots from a jar). The vegan duck was crispy on the outside and duck-friendly (because without duck). The food came really quickly, is that a good sign?!

The food was delicious. Today we were there for the first time with several people (we actually drove an hour to get there) we ordered a lot of different dishes and overall it was really, really tasty. A few small notes. There is always paprika in the vegetables, even if it is not on the menu. It's difficult with my intolerance. The edamame were only salted on top, so the bottom ones hardly had any salt. Otherwise the food was tip top. The vegan dishes are good and freshly processed, varied and there is something for everyone. We were particularly surprised by the vegan shrimp. The price was absolutely right for this location and quality. Overall, I found the ambience to be a bit too dark. The staff was slightly overwhelmed. We got there relatively early and got drinks quickly. After that, all the other tables were accepted before us, which meant we had to wait a relatively long time. The starters weren't all there at the same time so some had to wait longer. That was a bit of a shame.

So pleasantly surprised by everything and the food was really great! Will definitely go again 😊

Again very tasty food. The sushi menus are only recommended. The menu for three people was also beautifully presented.

Very tasty vegan food, the (vegan) duck was amazing! Good prices and nice atmosphere.

The food is top notch, the staff are super friendly and accommodating. I had a good time. I think the portion size is totally reasonable for the prices. I have rarely experienced such warm service and will definitely come back more often. Absolute vegan insider tip.

Was there for the first time and will definitely go again! Who would have thought that such delicious vegan combinations could exist? The whole sushi was a pure taste experience👌🏼

Nice atmosphere, but a lot of hype about nothing

When I entered this restaurant I was immersed in another world. Step in, world out. I was incredibly fascinated. The decoration, the wall painting, the super friendly staff. It was my first time in Mainz, I stayed for 4 days and had dinner here on three afternoons. The food is wholesome and tastes fantastic! I can recommend everyone to “dive in” here and dream about the beautiful wall art while you eat! Thank you for your hospitality! If I come to Mainz again, I will visit you again!

Thank you very much, gladly again.

It works. That sums it all up. The vegan duck somehow tasted like bread.

Insanely great ambience, delicious food and a large selection.

Ate there several times and was very tasty! Large selection, good, friendly service and nice atmosphere.

Super nice team, great food 😋. Close your eyes while you eat and be amazed! Keep it up!

This place probably has the best vegan sushi I have ever had, with options you don’t see everywhere, like strawberries in the sushi for example. Prices are fair for the quality of the food and amount you get. I‘d recommend coming here with friends or family to be able to try as much as possible - I haven’t been disappointed yet.

The fact that this restaurant calls itself a “Ramen Restaurant” is a disgrace!! There is only one ramen on the menu. There is also no Japanese beer on tap. No recommendation 👎

Very, very tasty (including the vegan duck), just unfortunate that you can only pay in cash.

As a non-vegan, I had a really delicious meal today and will happily eat here again when I'm in Mainz again...

Very tasty food and super nice staff. I can only recommend the store ❤️🍀

Good vegan food, but I've heard from some visitors that the peanut sauce is much too sweet... Tastes more like pudding. Sushi is good, price performance is higher, service unfortunately very slow when we were there, not much going on... everything felt like it took an eternity, the bill for the drinks.

Soooo delicious sushi. Highly Recommended!

A nice restaurant. The sushi was really incredibly tasty! And I really liked the drinks too. Price-performance ratio was definitely reasonable and the staff was friendly too.

Very tasty vegan sushi, great ambience and good service. The price-performance ratio is also very good. The music was sometimes a bit too loud, but there are worse things.

Very good food and friendly service. However, the benches you sit on are not particularly comfortable.

A delicious vegan Asian with super healthy ingredients and delicious substitute products! The non-alcoholic cocktail was also very tasty, all in all a full recommendation!

Very nice vegan food. The restaurant is quite small, so it is fairly loud. I love going here and it's a very popular restaurant in Mainz, especially with the younger crowd. Fair prices and delicious food. I'd recommend eating at the restaurant instead of ordering out. In my experience it tastes a lot better in-house.

Rice-coated banana chips (!!) instead of rice-coated bananas (5.50 euros) bananas. Canned vegetables (!!) and canned mushrooms (!!) instead of real vegetables, maybe two small broccoli. No sauce(!!), no taste. Lettuce leaves also without sauce (!!) and paid 20 euros for it. Inedible! Purchase value maximum 5 euros. Empty money and rip-offs Simply a disgrace!

No matter where I go for Asian food - so far it has never tasted as good as here! Very fair price-performance ratio. I'll be back very regularly :)

The food was very, very good. The best vegan "duck" I've eaten so far. If the restaurant didn't offer exclusively vegan food, I would have been suspicious whether there was a mix-up.

The restaurant definitely deserves (at least) 5 stars! Everything is simply great and the prices are unbeatable. Where else can you find something like that these days?! Absolute (vegan) madness!!! 💯

Vegan, great selection, nice decor and delicious - perfect🙂👍🏻. Due to its popularity and more and more people acting sensibly, it is well attended and reservations are therefore advisable. Also only cash payment - wonderful👌🏼. Actually six stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Organic and fair trade desirable to perfection).

Very tasty food. Nice service cozy. Highly recommended!
