I am so happy they finally brought this LA gem to Las Vegas! I don't really go out of my way to find fresh hand-pulled udon in town, but my my my... Monzo is great.
I dined in Monzo on a Saturday evening with my significant other. The parking is quite tricky and busy -- try parking around 99Ranch and walking over if you don't want to go through a web of tight parking spaces during their busy hours (5pm - onwards). Monzo was pretty busy around 6pm, but they got us a table for two within 5 minutes.
I ORDERED:
CHICKEN KAARAGE - $5.50
The kaarage was juicy and delicious!
TAKOYAKI - $7.75
It came out piping hot in a cast iron takoyaki plate -- so wait a few minutes to cool down. My girlfriend loved the takoyaki so much, she ordered another one. Definitely a must try appetizer here.
BEEF UDON (double portion) - $13.95
** Extra Soft Egg - $1.75
This was a hot udon bowl with green onions and seasoned beef on top. The broth was rich, delicious, and not overly salty. It's pretty freakin' bomb. Their udon, of course, tastes fresh and has a nice chewiness to it.
MAD TIGER UDON - $11.95
Spicy ground pork with chives, green onion, bonito flakes, and a soft boiled egg... all on top of a bed of perfect udon noodles. The special broth that you pour on top of it makes THIS dish. This bowl was heaven and my girlfriend regretted not ordering it with an extra portion of udon noodles.
The service here is also great and they're all quite attentive here. I find myself to be a real stickler when it comes to service and they were all on point here.
Definitely visit this place before the rest of the town finds out/hears about it. I'll definitely be back!
