Highly recommend getting the Yokozuna ramen (karaage, pork belly and gyoza) for $3 more. Would definitely be back.
First up was the Takoyaki (octopus fritters). A crispy surface on the outside with plenty of seasonings on top. My only issue was that there just didn’t seem to be much octopus (which was pretty tasty).
My dinner entree was Char-Siu Pork belly Ramen with Miso. The broth was very rich and buttery in quality. The pork belly was extra tender and tasted great. The noodles? Far beyond any instant meal.
I washed that meal down with a Lychee Ramune and a Melon Soda. The Ramune was excellent though opening up the first bottle required help from a worker (who showed excellent service and kindness).
The melon soda was too sweet for me. I will not buy that again.
A second meal here involved me buying some Tonkatsu and an Oyako Donburi (chicken and egg rice bowl).
The tonkatsu was amazing. The pork was tender and had an excellent fried coating. The sauce and hot mustard provided offered excellent flavors.
And the rice bowl was just as excellent. The chicken was juicy and tender, the eggs moist and cooked just right, and the rice helped absorb the flavors of the food.
When I had lunch there, I ordered another Lychee Ramune. It was that good.
One critique of this restaurant was the tight space. It would be difficult for larger people or those in wheelchairs to move around.
If or when I return to Las Vegas, I’m definitely going to find this restaurant for another meal. My compliments to the chefs and staff.
The only downside is that the seating area is quite limited, so during busy times the wait can be a bit long.
Overall, it’s absolutely worth the wait, and we’ll definitely come back again.
My wife got the regular miso ramen and I got the beef curry. Both arrived quick and were hot and super flavorful. Props for not only a hot and tasty meal; but the presentation was on point as well. The staff are friendly and really took good care of us. Would absolutely return again!
An easy and thorough explanation of a few menu items led to a combination ramen bowl for my dining partner. It includes a couple of gyoza dumplings, fried chicken, pork, and hard boiled eggs.
I ordered tonkatsu ramen with pork broth. The restaurant offers a choice of broths such as miso and soy sauce. Broth, broth, broth, oooohhhh and the housemade chili paste sooooo good! The pork was tender, there was a generous portion of noodles, a half hard boiled egg, and just the right amount of fresh spinach, sweet corn, and scallions. We received our hot, fresh ramen bowls within minutes.
I’ll bet they do a good take-out business but do yourself a favor by eating your noodles in the restaurant and be pampered by the terrific customer service.
1. broth texture is spot on but flavor could be improved.
2. Chasu pork is thinly sliced and soft. It would be nice if it can be chargrilled a bit more
3. The spicy sauce on side tastes different (like Tabasco mixed with something)
4. Egg is hard boiled. It would have been better if it is marinated too.
Still a nice experience. I’m surprised that this is on the strip and price is ok.
They also served umeshu (Japanese plum wine), and I highly recommend adding some ice — it makes it smoother and very refreshing.
I’m really happy to have a Japanese-style ramen spot on the Vegas Strip, and I’ll definitely come back again the next time I’m in Las Vegas.
