× One of my favorite food is ramen.
✓ One of my favorite foods is ramen.
'One of' requires a plural noun after it. 'Food' should be plural 'foods' because you are selecting one item from a group of foods. Improve by using 'one of' + plural noun: 'one of my favorite foods'.
× Ramen is well known by our Japanese food in the world, and I really love many various kinds of ramen.
✓ Ramen is well known as Japanese food around the world, and I really love many different kinds of ramen.
Use 'well known as' to describe how ramen is recognized, not 'known by'. 'Our Japanese food' is awkward; 'Japanese food' is correct. 'In the world' should be 'around the world'. 'Many various kinds' is redundant; use 'many different kinds'.
× It is oily and fatty but taste very good.
✓ It is oily and fatty but tastes very good.
Subject-verb agreement: with subject 'it' the verb must be 'tastes' (third person singular). Also 'oily and fatty' is acceptable as adjectives describing ramen.
× When I was very young, I liked Italian foods compared to Japanese food.
✓ When I was very young, I liked Italian food compared to Japanese food.
'Food' when referring to a cuisine type is usually uncountable and singular: 'Italian food' and 'Japanese food'. Use the same form for both for parallelism.
× That is because I thought that Japanese food have a lean taste, not salty.
✓ That is because I thought that Japanese food had a lean taste and was not salty.
Tense consistency: the main clause is past ('I thought'), so subordinate clause should use past 'had' and 'was'. Also 'not salty' describes 'taste' so use 'was not salty' or 'was less salty'.
× On the other hand, Italian fruits have a strong taste and salty.
✓ On the other hand, Italian food has a strong taste and is salty.
'Fruits' is incorrect here; you mean 'food'. Use singular uncountable 'food' with singular verb 'has', and express 'is salty' rather than just 'salty'.
× Yes, I typically choose many different types of foods, like fast foods and gorgeous coast dinners.
✓ Yes, I typically choose many different types of food, like fast food and fancy coastside dinners.
Use uncountable 'food' when speaking about categories. 'Fast foods' is better as 'fast food'; 'gorgeous coast dinners' is unnatural—'fancy coastside dinners' or 'dinners on the coast' is clearer.
× And of course I choose many cuisines from other countries.
✓ And of course I choose many cuisines from other countries.
This sentence is grammatical, but 'choose many cuisines from other countries' is acceptable. No change needed; keep as is. (Included to follow instruction 2: only correct listed types.)
× For example, I really like Vietnamese foods and I eat Vietnamese foods in the restaurant and using Uber Eats for delivery services.
✓ For example, I really like Vietnamese food and I eat it in restaurants or order it using Uber Eats for delivery.
Use uncountable 'Vietnamese food'. Parallel structure: 'eat it in restaurants' and 'order it using Uber Eats'. Do not mix 'in the restaurant and using'—use parallel verbs 'eat' and 'order'.
× Since I was a child, my taste has been changed.
✓ Since I was a child, my taste has changed.
Use present perfect 'has changed' without 'been' because 'change' is an intransitive verb here. 'Has been changed' would imply someone changed it (passive). 'Since' indicates a time from past until now, so present perfect is correct.
× For example, I really like vegetables now, but when I was a child I didn't like vegetables.
✓ For example, I really like vegetables now, but when I was a child I didn't like them.
Use pronoun 'them' to avoid repetition; sentence is otherwise correct. Ensure past tense 'didn't like' matches time reference.
× That is because I changed my taste to be healthy and I understood that vegetables have.
✓ That is because I changed my eating habits to be healthier and I understood the benefits of vegetables.
Original sentence is incomplete and ungrammatical ('vegetables have' requires an object). Clarify meaning: 'changed my eating habits' or 'changed my taste to be healthier' and state what vegetables have (e.g., benefits). Use 'healthier' as comparative adjective.
