Anytime someone talks about ramen in Vegas, it's either in reference to either Sora or Monta. I finally tried one of the two rivals last week. For me, ramen is graded on three components: the noodles, the broth, and the ingredients (usually the pork and the soft-boiled egg). How does Ramen Sora measure up?
There were a number of different broths to choose from, but I decided on the basic shoyu. Right off the bat, the broth was pretty thin in terms of both flavor and depth. I was shocked to later read that you could add a slice of butter to your ramen. That's not something that you want to see at a ramen joint. The noodles were average at best. My favorite part of the ramen was actually the barbecued pork and perfectly soft-boiled egg.
How does the competition down the street compare? Stay tuned for the review on Monta.
