I wanted a quick, cheap, light bite on the strip and thought this place would be good. Disappointed in everything, except the service. The soup is all a chicken stock and it tasted like nothing. I got the spicy and all I could taste was heat, there was no flavor. I love spicy, but spicy with flavor and heat, this had no flavor at all. The noodles were cooked well and tasted fresh, but there was hardly any meat and it was not good. Everything is served in a plastic to-go soup container, which is probably practical on the strip. Anyway, the point of the story is although the place looks cute and the service is good you can get better ramen by doctoring up your $ 0.25 package from the store. And for the price, just don’t do it!

Sad. I stopped in here because I’m always up for a good bowl of ramen and this place billed itself as «the best ramen in Las Vegas.» Nowhere close to that. The Shoyu soup stock is beyond ordinary. Tastes like Swanson chicken broth with soy sauce added to it. The broth is probably better suited for udon noodles but for a Shoyu ramen, this is not it. The noodles were decent, though I like my noodles a little thicker. But at least these noodles are fresh, they don’t seem to use prepackaged stuff. The chashu that’s in there is not very tender. A bit on the thin side as well. The ramen comes in a big plastic cup. It’s like Cup o’ Ramen. It’s actually a cute idea. You can walk around with ramen in your hand. When I’m in Vegas, after a couple of nights of eating decadent heavy meals, a nice bowl of soup always hits the spot. Except this time.
