Why it matters
Why Towzen Ramen (Bukit Damansara) is worth your time
Towzen offers a rare combination in Kuala Lumpur: a fully vegan menu that also leaves out onion and garlic. For travellers who avoid those ingredients for religious or health reasons, a stated allium-free kitchen is helpful.
It is still not a Jain restaurant, since Jain practice also avoids root vegetables, so Jain travellers should ask exactly what is used. For vegan families, it gives a Japanese noodle meal that is different from the Indian and Malaysian food elsewhere in the guide.

How to experience it
Towzen's website says its food is crafted without animal products or alliums, which excludes onion and garlic. That makes it useful for vegan travellers and for those who avoid alliums, though the website does not say anything about other root vegetables, so it should not be treated as a Jain kitchen.
The website calls Towzen one of Japan's longest-running vegan ramen establishments, and reviewers mention truffle ramen, spiced tantanmen and lion's mane karaage. Treat those as examples, and check the menu at towzenramen.com/menu for the current dishes.
Bukit Damansara is a business and residential area with offices, so a taxi is the simplest way to arrive. Go at an off-peak time, because reservations may not be available at lunch or on weekends. Confirm the closing day before you go, as sources disagree.
